Environmental Deterioration and Human Health
Author: Abdul Malik
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400778902
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
This book discusses the natural and anthropogenic determinants of the environment and their impact on human health. It throws light on the perspectives of climate change with case studies from Australia, India, Italy, and Latin America. Themes covered are ecology of antibiotic resistant microorganisms, pesticide and heavy metal (arsenic) problems in natural environment; molecular advances in understanding of microbial interactions; ecological studies of human/animal health and diseases; food security, technological developments and more.

Case based Medical Microbiology
Author: Tanmay Mehta
Publisher: Q world
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
"Case Based Medical Microbiology" authored by Dr. Tanmay Mehta is an innovative and comprehensive resource meticulously designed to demystify the intricate realm of medical microbiology. The book employs a unique pedagogical approach that enhances understanding and facilitates the recall of complex concepts. Each chapter commences with a carefully crafted case study, providing pertinent clues, emphasized in bold, that guide the reader towards the diagnosis. This is succeeded by a section detailing the most probable diagnosis derived from the case study. The subsequent section elucidates the causative agents, enumerated in the order of their frequency. A distinctive feature of this book is the representation of the pathogenesis of each disease in the form of a flowchart, rendering the process logical and memorable. The book further explores the clinical manifestations of each disease, outlining all common presentations. This is followed by a comprehensive list of investigations that are typically conducted in the given clinical scenario. The treatment segment is categorized into three sub-sections: supportive, empirical, and specific, thereby providing a holistic approach to disease management. Preventive strategies are also discussed, typically bifurcated into general measures and immunoprophylaxis, which includes vaccines and/or immunoglobulins. "Case Based Medical Microbiology" is an invaluable asset for those seeking to comprehend medical microbiology through a case-based format. Its simplistic, logical, and comprehensive approach renders it an indispensable tool for both learning and teaching.

Author: Trevor N. Petney
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030711617
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
This thematic collection focuses on key parasites and their vectors in Southeast Asia. Up-to-date essays invite readers to discover parasite and vector morphology, genetic diversity as well as dynamic parasite communities linked to human land-use and climate change. The authors shed light on transmission pathways and explore tick-borne diseases, intestinal protozoa, cestodes, nematodes and the multiplicity of cryptic trematode species. Particular attention is given to mosquito vectors in changing environments and the dynamic biodiversity of vertebrate hosts, including mammals, birds and fish. The richly illustrated chapters are completed by new approaches in diagnostic methods, treatment and prevention to protect humans and animals from tropical parasite infections.
