Download or read book Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Disease written by David E. Griffith and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-05 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive and authoritative source on nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pathogens and diseases and their appropriate management, with a focus on lung disease. NTM diseases, especially lung diseases, are increasing in prevalence in the U.S. and internationally with concomitant growing interest in a broad section of the medical community. Often merely included in coverage of tuberculosis, many aspects of NTM organisms and diseases are actually very different than TB. These differences are not intuitive or trivial and frequently result in suboptimal management of NTM patients. This book addresses these gaps in the literature with chapters on microbiology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, the various diseases that can stem from NTM, and their particular management. There is also coverage on prevention and NTM as a public health problem. For pulmonologists and infectious disease physicians, this is the definitive resource on nontuberculous mycobacteria.

This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 1027 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death globally, particularly among children and young adults. The spread of new pathogens and the threat of antimicrobial resistance pose particular challenges in combating these diseases. Major Infectious Diseases identifies feasible, cost-effective packages of interventions and strategies across delivery platforms to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, malaria, adult febrile illness, viral hepatitis, and neglected tropical diseases. The volume emphasizes the need to effectively address emerging antimicrobial resistance, strengthen health systems, and increase access to care. The attainable goals are to reduce incidence, develop innovative approaches, and optimize existing tools in resource-constrained settings.

Download or read book The Medical Management of AIDS in Women written by Deborah Cotton and published by Wiley-Liss. This book was released on 1997 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering a wide range of specific topics in the treatment of female patients with AIDS, The Medical Management of AIDS in Women gives particular focus to those symptoms and illnesses unique to women. It offers detailed discussions on the different modes of transmission, contraception, gender-specific manifestations, and conditions common in HIV-infected women, including aggressive cervical cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, and yeast infections. Since HIV infection predominantly occurs in women of child-bearing age, ample coverage is given to pregnancy issues and drug treatment during pregnancy. The authors also examine various systems of care, psychiatric management, prevention of infection, and legal concerns involved in treating women with AIDS. Topics discussed in this text include: Epidemiology of HIV/AIDS in women Perinatal transmission of HIV Pathophysiology of cervical dysplasia and neoplasia Antiviral therapy in pregnant and nonpregnant women Diagnosis and treatment of STDs in HIV-infected women Management of enteric protozoan infections Preventive and therapeutic HIV-1 vaccines Women are now the fastest-growing segment of the HIV-infected population—a cause for major concern among obstetricians, gynecologists, infectious disease specialists, and public health officials. The Medical Management of AIDS in Women is a valuable resource for these professionals and anyone involved in the day-to-day struggle to care for the increasing numbers of female AIDS patients.

Download or read book Antimicrobial Chemotherapy written by Roger Finch and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-01-05 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antimicrobial agents are essential for the treatment of life-threatening infections and for managing the burden of minor infections in the community. In addition, they play a key role in organ and bone marrow transplantation, cancer chemotherapy, artificial joint and heart valve surgery. Unlike other classes of medicines, they are vulnerable to resistance from mutations in target microorganisms, and their adverse effects may extend to other patients (increased risk of cross-infection). As a consequence, there is a constant requirement for new agents, as well as practices that ensure the continued effective prescribing of licensed agents. Public awareness and concerns about drug resistant organisms has led to widespread publicity and political action in the UK, Europe and worldwide. The control of drug resistance and the implementation of good prescribing practice are now legal requirements in the UK as a result of the UK Health Act (2008). These fundamental changes underscore the need for a thorough understanding of the advantages and risks associated with specific antibiotic choices. This sixth edition of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy continues to be a valuable resource for undergraduates and graduates requiring a thorough grounding in the scientific basis and clinical application of these drugs. This new edition is updated to include the most recently licensed agents, notably in the treatment of viral infections including HIV/AIDS, and contains new guidance on prescribing practice and infection control practices that limit the development and spread of resistant organisms.

Download or read book AIDS Under Pressure written by Michelle Reillo and published by Seattle, Wash. ; Toronto : Hogrefe & Huber. This book was released on 1997 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book presents the results of laboratory data, clinical experience, and cost-effectiveness in using hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the management of AIDS, based on over six years of clinical experience in the management of patients with HIV disease using hyperbaric oxygen therapy. In a hyperbaric chamber, patients breathe 100% oxygen under pressure, increasing blood and brain levels of oxygen. As adjunctive treatment, the author has shown improvement in managing opportunistic infections, reducing serious complications associated with drug therapy, maintenance of bodyweight, and improvement of neurologic functions. This book documents how HBOT has reduced hospitalizations and associated financial strains in her patients. The book will be of great interest to anyone involved in the field of HIV treatment, including physicians, researchers, case managers, patients, and nurses, worldwide. Michelle R Reillo, BSN, RN, trained in the fields of critical care and infectious disease atthe University of Maryland, has been involved in the treatment of patients with AIDS since the beginning of the epidemic in 1983. She has been principal investigator on several AIDS research studies and has developed clinical protocols for health practitioners in the management of patients with HIV/AIDS. Since 1993, she has been the clinical director of LifeForce Hyperbaric Institute in Baltimore where she conducts research on hyperbaric medicine and its effects on AIDS-related complications.
