Aids. Breve storia di una malattia che ha cambiato il mondo

Cristiana Pulcinelli

editore: Carocci

pagine: 211

Il suo ingresso sul palcoscenico del mondo avvenne all'inizio degli anni Ottanta del secolo scorso negli Stati Uniti. Eppure l'aids esisteva già da almeno settant'anni, relegato in alcune zone dell'Africa. E così è dall'Africa che parte questo racconto di grandi tragedie, di grandi speranze e di un enorme cambiamento nella nostra società. Perché l'aids non è solo l'epidemia che ha causato ad oggi nel mondo 70 milioni di contagiati e oltre 35 milioni di morti, che ha cancellato anni di liberazione sessuale e ridato vigore alla paura del diverso. È anche la malattia che ha indotto clamorosi avanzamenti delle conoscenze scientifiche, la nascita dell'attivismo dei pazienti e, qualche volta, la vittoria della solidarietà sui profitti.

Chronic Pain and HIV

A Practical Approach

Angela G. Giovanniello

editore: John Wiley & Sons Inc

pagine: 192

Patients suffering from HIV/AIDS often experience chronic pain due to the many diseases and infections they pick up as a result of a weakened immune system. It interferes with their quality of life and physical functioning, impacts adherence to antiretroviral therapy and HIV primary care, and is associated with significant psychological/social distress and substance use disorders. Chronic Pain and HIV addresses all these complex issues that can influence pain care that can influence pain care for the patient with HIV and acts both as a primer and a comprehensive review to define the field of chronic pain management. Using a clear, clinical approach, key topics include the following: * Musculoskeletal pain in individuals in HIV * Headache in individuals with HIV * Psychiatric comorbidities among individuals with HIV and chronic pain * Potential benefit and harm of prescription opioids in HIV * Pain at the end of life in individuals with AIDS * Treatment of chronic pain syndromes in the HIV-infected person. Edited by an outstanding team with extensive experience in HIV/AIDS and pain/palliative care, every chapter is written by a world-famous expert in their field who provides a thorough review of the relevant literature, including the very latest in management guidelines from the leading international societies. Perfect for all those in primary care, as well as infectious disease specialists managing patients with HIV/AIDS, Chronic Pain and HIV provides sensible, straightforward clinical advice to ensure the best possible patient management.

AIDS. La verità negata. Come l'HIV causa l'AIDS e perché dall'AIDS si potrà guarire

Giovanni Maga

editore: Il Pensiero Scientifico

pagine: 132

Un libro fondamentale sull'AIDS, di cui oggi si parla meno anche a causa di una strisciante tendenza negazionista che tenta di convincerci che sia stata tutta una manovra delle case farmaceutiche. L'autore dimostra l'infondatezza di questa posizione, chiarisce i meccanismi con cui l'HIV provoca l'AIDS e spiega come e perché a breve si potrà guarire.

AIDS: lo scandalo del vaccino italiano

Vittorio Agnoletto, Carlo Gnetti

editore: Feltrinelli

pagine: 145

"Vaccino anti-Aids: l'Italia è prima", "Aids, funziona il vaccino italiano", "Il mio vaccino batterà l'Aids". Il 24 ottobre 1998 i principali quotidiani italiani riprendono con enfasi l'annuncio fatto il giorno prima dalla ricercatrice dell'Istituto superiore di sanità Barbara Ensoli durante il Simposio internazionale su Aids e cancro. Da allora decine di milioni di euro sono stati stanziati dallo Stato italiano per sostenere il progetto di un vaccino contro l'Aids, basato sulle proprietà della proteina Tat, illudendo milioni di persone che la cosiddetta "peste di fine millennio" stesse per essere definitivamente sconfitta. Dopo quindici anni nessun vaccino italiano contro l'Aids è apparso all'orizzonte, mentre la sperimentazione prosegue anche in Sudafrica, nonostante le numerose critiche provenienti dal mondo scientifico internazionale. Da questa rigorosa inchiesta condotta tra medici, scienziati e politici emerge una realtà segnata da paure, interessi economici, protezioni politiche, intrecci familiari e affari internazionali.

Handbook of Pediatric HIV Care

Jennifer S. Read, Steven L. Zeichner

editore: Cambridge University Press

pagine: 902

This portable and practical handbook, first published in 2006, provides a concise guide to the essentials of pediatric HIV care in a form suitable for doctors in the busy hospital setting. During recent years, many agents for the treatment and prophylaxis of HIV infection and the opportunistic infections that accompany HIV infection have been developed, and many new ways of monitoring HIV infection in children have been produced. These therapies and approaches to management are complicated, but the long-term health of HIV-infected children depends on their correct application. This handbook presents the core information and guidelines necessary for effective management of infected children. Two other important themes are ways to minimise mother-to-infant transmission, and the challenges of looking after these children in resource-poor countries.

Textbook-Atlas of intestinal infections in AIDS

a cura di D. Dionisio

editore: Springer Verlag

pagine: 522

This book represents an international collaborative work focused on the current challenges of AIDS-related intestinal infections in the worldwide scenario. The unique problems of developing countries, the epidemiological and immunological aspects, the risks for immunodeficient travellers and the reservoirs and ways of transmission from animal to man are all equally considered, as are the diagnostic advances and the changing patterns of prophylaxis and treatment. Moreover, the etiological and clinical aspects and the histologic and electron microscopic features of biopsy samples are reported. Furthermore, notes on intestinal parasitoses in the past centuries with emphasis on disadvantaged people, and worldwide trends and perspectives are also included as a link between the past and the future. This volume is expected to fill a gap in the medical literature, provide the latest information on therapeutic advances, provide an exhaustive series of light and electron microscopy micrographs and illustrations, contribute to the educational programs in developing countries, and gain international approval as a reference book for problems arising in clinical and laboratory practice, and as a text book for medical and graduate students.
