Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases
Jenny Telleria , Michel Tibayrenc
editore: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc
pagine: 772
This multidisciplinary book is at the crossroads between two major scientific fields of the 21st century: evolutionary biology and infectious diseases. The genomic revolution has upset modern biology and has revolutionized our approach to ancient disciplines such as evolutionary studies. In particular, this revolution is profoundly changing our view on genetically driven human phenotypic diversity, and this is especially true in disease genetic susceptibility. Infectious diseases are indisputably the major challenge of medicine. When looking globally, they are the number one killer of humans and therefore the main selective pressure exerted on our species. Even in industrial countries, infectious diseases are now far less under control than 20 years ago. The first part of this book covers the main features and applications of modern technologies in the study of infectious diseases.
The second part provides detailed information on a number of the key infectious diseases such as malaria, SARS, avian flu, HIV, tuberculosis, nosocomial infections and a few other pathogens that will be taken as examples to illustrate the power of modern technologies and the value of evolutionary approaches. It takes an integrated approach to infectious diseases. It includes contributions from leading authorities. It provides the latest developments in the field.

"Diagnostic Pathology of Infectious Disease" presents a comprehensive, organ-based approach to the effective and accurate diagnosis of infectious diseases. Dr. Richard L. Kradin covers the latest information on H1N1, as well as the use of immunohistochemical stains, PCR, Immunoperoxidase, and other molecular techniques for a current representation of the field. High-quality, full-color illustrations and differential diagnosis tables accompany each lesson so that you can quickly identify and diagnose whatever you see.

"...a fun and readable book that engages the imagination and retains the interest of the clinically oriented reader while conveying an understanding of the direct implications of molecular characteristics of infectious agents to the practice of medicine.." -Emerging Infectious Diseases, January 2010 "...provides a valuable overview of the basic principles and issues pertaining to the pathogenesis and prevention of infectious diseases. The illustrations, the chapter summaries with relevant information, and the case studies are all particularly useful for the targeted readers. The book is well designed and manages to convey the general concepts of the various aspects of infectious diseases without overwhelming the reader with too much information...recommended for students, trainees, or physicians who desire a well-illustrated textbook that is easy to read and that addresses the basic aspects of infectious disease." -Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2010 The study of infectious diseases has undergone major changes since its infancy when it was largely a documentation of epidemics.
It has now evolved into a dynamic phenomenon involving the ecology of the infectious agent, pathogenesis in the host, reservoirs and vetors, as well as the complex mechanisms concerned in the spread of infection and the extent to which this spread occurs. Rapid globalization has led to unprecedented interest in infectious diseases worldwide and their effect on complex population dynamics including migration, famine, fire, war, and terrorism. It is now essential for public health officials to understand the basic science behind infectious disease and, likewise, students studying ID must have a broader understanding of the implications of infectious disease in a public health context as well as clinical presentation and prevention. The clear demand for an integrated approach has led to the publication of this text. Check out the student companion site at www.wiley.com/go/shettyinfectiousdisease

Sono stati presi in considerazione argomenti fondamentali quali la sepsi, la febbre di NDD, le zoonosi emergenti, le infestazioni da parassiti, il bioterrorismo, l'ospite immunocompromesso e le gravi infezioni virali. Le patologie infettive sono state presentate in base alla loro localizzazione anatomica d'organo o di apparato, considerando quindi il polmone, l'occhio, l'orecchio, il naso, la gola, il sistema nervoso centrale, il cuore, l'apparato gastrointestinale, l'apparato genitourinario, i tessuti molli, le articolazioni e le ossa.
Malattie infettive

editore: Piccin-Nuova Libraria
pagine: 970
Alla prima Parte ("Generalità delle Malattie Infettive"), volutamente sintetica, segue la trattazione sistematica delle malattie infettive (Parte seconda) che tiene conto dei notevoli sviluppi della disciplina in questi ultimi anni: comparsa di nuove entità morbose come l'infezione da HIV e la SARS; migliore conoscenza delle vecchie malattie sotto il profilo patogenetico e immunopatogenetico (le epatiti croniche virali offrono a tale riguardo un esempio paradigmatico, anche per le ricadute in tema di terapia specifica e di prevenzione); variazioni epidemiologiche con l'estensione geografica di alcune infezioni; progressi importanti delle tecniche diagnostiche di laboratorio, con l'applicazione anche delle tecniche di biologia molecolare (ma notevole rilevanza hanno pure le tecniche per immagini e l'agobiopsia con ago sottile); adeguamento delle terapie, soprattutto antibiotiche, a seguito dell'introduzione di nuove molecole e sotto la pressione delle resistenze via via manifestate da batteri, virus, miceti e protozoi.

Bambini super-vaccinati
Eugenio Serravalle
editore: Il Leone Verde
pagine: 277
Da quasi trenta anni visito bambini, e cerco di curarli "in scienza e coscienza". Durante gli studi universitari ho appreso la pratica vaccinale. E per molti anni ho vaccinato i bimbi affidati alle mia cure con ogni vaccino disponibile, convinto dell'utilità dell'immunizzazione di massa. Ho dedicato buona parte del mio tempo ai bambini, ai miei pazienti, spinto dalla voglia di andare al fondo dei problemi, senza fermarmi alla superficie, mantenendo uno spirito critico. Nel corso della mia attività ho avuto modo di incontrare bimbi non vaccinati, e ho iniziato a rendermi conto che avevo accettato senza riserve e riflessioni il concetto secondo cui i vaccini sono sempre efficaci e sicuri. Ho cominciato a constatare che la frequenza delle malattie pediatriche più comuni erano ridotte nei bimbi non vaccinati rispetto a quelli sottoposti alle vaccinazioni. Ho conosciuto genitori i cui figli si erano ammalati gravemente, o che addirittura erano morti a causa della somministrazione di un vaccino.
