* Publisher: Springer; 1 edition (July 11, 2006)
* Language: English
* ISBN: 3540299157

Book Description
Microbes are in our midst soon after birth. Thankfully, the number of harmless (and often beneficial) microbes far out number those that would do us harm. Our ability to ward-off pathogens in our environment, including those that can colonize our exterior and/or interior surfaces, depends on the integrative action of the innate and adaptive immunity systems. This volume of CTMI, entitled Antimicrobial Peptides and Human Disease, is dedicated to the role of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in the innate host defense system of homo sapiens.

ABC of Sexually Transmitted Infections

ABC of Sexually Transmitted Infections
* Paperback: 104 pages
* Publisher: BMJ Publishing Group; 5 edition (March 1, 2004)
* Language: English
* ISBN: 0727917617

The ABC series published by the BMJ group are primarily aimed at medical students but could be useful to the junior doctor embarking on GP or early speciality training. This 5th edition of the ABC of Sexually Transmitted Infection has been updated, and importantly contains two introductory chapters outlining the importance of sexually transmitted infections worldwide and their control and prevention.

This book is written by UK-based consultants specialising in Genitourinary Medicine and HIV—and as such reflects British practice and treatment regimens. Therefore, students who are based in Australasia should be prepared to check treatment regimens and antibiotic sensitivity data locally, and amend the book to their own needs.
The book is logically laid out with the first chapters dealing with control and prevention. The following chapters then deal with clinical presentation and examination—within these chapters there are very useful overview tables, which compare and contrast sexually transmitted infections with similar presentations, thus aiding the student to establish a diagnosis.

The chapters dealing with the specific illnesses of syphilis, viral hepatitis, and HIV do so in a clear and concise manner—pointing the student toward more detailed texts, which will certainly be needed.

The tables and diagrams within the book are clear and easy to digest, and the clinical pictures are clear and interesting—but the detail in the microbiology slides is poor and the result disappointing. The last chapter in the book dealing with the laboratory diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections is short, and would need augmenting with a basic microbiology text.

In overview, this is an excellent introductory text to sexually transmitted infections that provides a good basic level of information. Any student with an interest in the area will be able to use this text to good effect and then use the references provided to extend their reading

World of Microbiology and Immunology

Product Details

* Hardcover: 699 pages
* Publisher: Thomson Gale (November 2002)
* Language: English
* ISBN: 0787665401

Microbiology and immunology are sometimes seen as esoteric and highly specialized sciences with few interpreters to students and the lay public. The authors have selected 600 entries that highlight selected important persons, research facilities, terms, and concepts of both these fields. There are brief biographies of the well known (Salk, Jonas) and the lesser known but important (Mil stein, Cesar); and explanations of common terms (Epidemics and pandemics), uncommon terms (Retroposons and transposable elements), and acronyms like AIDS and SCID (Severe combined immunodeficiency).

The entries are in alphabetical order with many cross references. Though there are no bibliographies with the entries, there are 13 pages of book and journal-article citations and 10 pages of Web addresses in the "Sources Consulted" section. This is followed by an 18-page "Historical Chronology" of milestones in human scientific achievement, showing how ancient (circa 10,000 B.C.E.) ideas eventually led to germ theory and the burgeoning of microbiology and immunology through 2002. The extensive, detailed general index indicates the main entries' volume and page numbers in boldface type. Sometimes the same page information is repeated in regular type, an unnecessary redundancy. Using the index one can find that the Irish potato famine is mentioned in the entry on Fungal genetics along with other similarly embedded bits of information. One important, but missing, finding aid is an index to the biographies, as browsing biographies is often a way to interest students in a discipline.

The language is straightforward and only as technical as required. The aim is to increase curiosity and interest in these diverse and important disciplines, and to show the development and growing importance of both fields to human health. Though the editors emphasize student use, the major users will probably be persons wanting to learn a bit about terms they hear or read in scientific and medical news. In no way does this publication compete with professional encyclopedias designed for researchers and medical practitioners such as Encyclopedia of Microbiology (Academic, 2000) or Encyclopedia of Immunology (Academic, 1998). Recommended for public libraries and general interest in academic libraries. RBB

Preventing HIV/AIDS in Young People

Preventing HIV/AIDS in Young People (Technical Report Series)
Paperback: 353 pages
Publisher: World Health Organization (July 2006)
Language: English
ISBN: 9241209380

Summary
Young people are particularly vulnerable to HIV: 15 24 year olds account for 50% of new cases. Five to six thousand youths become infected every day, most of them in developing countries. The UN General Assembly Special Session on AIDS in June 2001 set a number of goals to drive efforts to reduce prevalence in this age group.

This report provides evidence-based recommendations for policy-makers, programme managers and researchers to guide efforts towards meeting the UN goals on HIV/AIDS and young people. These goals aim to decrease prevalence and vulnerability; and to increase access to information, skills and services.

This report provides a systematic review the effectiveness of interventions provided: through schools, health services, mass media, communities, and to young people who are most vulnerable to HIV infection.

Management of Severe Malaria

Management of Severe Malaria - A practical handbook
Paperback: 58 pages
Publisher: World Health Organization; 2nd edition (June 2000)
Language: English
ISBN: 9241545232

The World Health Organization was established in 1948 as a specialized agency of the United Nations serving as the directing and coordinating authority for international health matters and public health.One of WHO 's constitutional functions is to provide objective and reliable information and advice in the field of human health,a responsibility that it fulfils in part through its extensive programme of publications.

The Organization seeks through its publications to support national health strategies and address the most pressing public health concerns of populations around the world.To respond to the needs of Member States at all levels of development,WHO publishes practical manuals,handbooks and training material for specific categories of health workers; internationally applicable guidelines and standards;reviews and analyses of health policies,programmes and research; and state-of-the-art consensus reports that offer technical advice and recommendations for decision-makers.These books are closely tied to the Organization 's priority activities,encompassing disease prevention and control,the development of equitable health systems based on primary health care,and health promotion for individuals and communities. Progress towards better health for all also demands the global dissemination and exchange of information that draws on the knowledge and experience of all WHO 's Member countries and the collaboration of world leaders in public health and the biomedical sciences.

To ensure the widest possible availability of authoritative information and guidance on health matters,WHO secures the broad international distribution of its publications and encourages their translation and adaptation.By helping to promote and protect health and prevent and control disease throughout the world,WHO 's books contribute to achieving the Organization 's principal objective – the attainment by all people of the highest possible level of health.

Malaria continues to be a major health problem in many parts of the world,with over 2400 million people in some 100 countries at risk of infection.Delay in treating P.falciparum – the species of parasite that can cause severe forms of the disease – may result in rapid deterioration in the patient 's condition,together with the development of a number of life-threatening complications.

This handbook is an updated edition of Management of severe and complicated malaria, providing new and revised practical guidance on the diagnosis and management of severe falciparum malaria.After outlining the general nursing care needed by these patients,it considers in turn the possible complications,including coma, convulsions,severe anaemia,acidosis,renal failure, hypoglycaemia,and pulmonary oedema,and gives specific and concise advice on their management.While intended primarily for clinical professionals and other responsible health staff working in hospitals and health centres with inpatient facilities in malaria-endemic countries,it will also be of practical use to physicians in non-endemic areas,who are increasingly having to deal with patients infected during visits to malarious areas.
