Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the present time there are renewed global efforts to control the major tropical infections and to stem the tide of malnutrition, the two serious, often intertwined, problems that contribute to much of the morbidity and mortality in under privileged populations. Many international organizations have joined hands with national governments and with the private sector to search for new approaches to problems that beset much of the developing world, including countries in the tropical region. This volume continues the tradition of the previous publication in the Series. A variety of fare is offered to readers: explanations of the activities and achievements of the UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Re search and Training in Tropical Diseases; and studies of infant mortality, schistosomiasis, trypanosomiasis, helminths, lactase deficiency, oral rehydration therapy, functional consequences of iron deficiency, and fertility control. Au thoritative state-of-the-art reviews provide a critical analysis of recent data. I hope the Series will continue to prove useful to all those working in the tropics and to those in the industrialized countries whose awareness of physical health problems of the Third World is relatively limited.

Download or read book Tropical Medicine written by Kevin M. Cahill and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of tropical medicine is as dramatic as the story of humankind. It has its own myths and legends, including tales of epidemics that destroyed whole civilizations. Today, with silent stealth, tropical diseases still claim more lives than all the current wars combined. Having had the privilege of working throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America, as well as in the great medical centers of Europe and the United States, the author presents the details essential for understanding pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, therapy, and prevention of the major tropical diseases. The text, now in its eighth edition, has been used for half a century by medical students, practicing physicians, and public health workers around the world. This fascinating book should also be of interest to a broad, nonmedical readership interested in world affairs. All royalties from the sale of this book go to the training of humanitarian workers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colonial Pathologies is a groundbreaking history of the role of science and medicine in the American colonization of the Philippines from 1898 through the 1930s. Warwick Anderson describes how American colonizers sought to maintain their own health and stamina in a foreign environment while exerting control over and “civilizing” a population of seven million people spread out over seven thousand islands. In the process, he traces a significant transformation in the thinking of colonial doctors and scientists about what was most threatening to the health of white colonists. During the late nineteenth century, they understood the tropical environment as the greatest danger, and they sought to help their fellow colonizers to acclimate. Later, as their attention shifted to the role of microbial pathogens, colonial scientists came to view the Filipino people as a contaminated race, and they launched public health initiatives to reform Filipinos’ personal hygiene practices and social conduct. A vivid sense of a colonial culture characterized by an anxious and assertive white masculinity emerges from Anderson’s description of American efforts to treat and discipline allegedly errant Filipinos. His narrative encompasses a colonial obsession with native excrement, a leper colony intended to transform those considered most unclean and least socialized, and the hookworm and malaria programs implemented by the Rockefeller Foundation in the 1920s and 1930s. Throughout, Anderson is attentive to the circulation of intertwined ideas about race, science, and medicine. He points to colonial public health in the Philippines as a key influence on the subsequent development of military medicine and industrial hygiene, U.S. urban health services, and racialized development regimes in other parts of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tropical Medicine Notebook is a new concept in providing a concise overview of the key topics in tropical medicine, using short notes, diagrams, maps, and tables to present the material in an accessible, engaging, memorable, and interesting way. The format is generally a page per topic, with division of each page into subsections by boxes to make it easy to find the relevant information. Cross-referencing is provided to allow quick linking between relevant sections of the book. Providing the key information in bite-size chunks, the Tropical Medicine Notebook is a useful companion to more comprehensive texts. Divided into eight sections; the first five cover infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa and helminths, followed by a further three which present the topics of vector biology, disease syndromes and envenomation. Where relevant, the section is prefaced by a classification system to provide a logical overview, helping with assimilation of information and highlighting important relationships between organisms. It is an ideal learning and revision guide for students or trainees in infection, microbiology, and tropical medicine, as well as being a useful reference resource for healthcare and laboratory staff across the wide range of disciplines to which infection may present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Networks in Tropical Medicine explores how European doctors and scientists worked together across borders to establish the new field of tropical medicine in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book shows that this transnational collaboration in a context of European colonialism, scientific discovery, and internationalism shaped the character of the new medical specialty. Even in an era of intense competition among European states, practitioners of tropical medicine created a transnational scientific community through which they influenced each other and the health care that was introduced to the tropical world. One of the most important developments in the shaping of tropical medicine as a specialty was the major sleeping sickness epidemic that spread across sub-Saharan Africa at the turn of the century. The book describes how scientists and doctors collaborated across borders to control, contain, and find a treatment for the disease. It demonstrates that these medical specialists' shared notions of "Europeanness," rooted in common beliefs about scientific, technological, and racial superiority, led them to establish a colonial medical practice in Africa that sometimes oppressed the same people it was created to help.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Review of Some of the Recent Advances in Tropical Medicine: Hygiene and Tropical Veterinary Science, With Special Reference to Their Possible Bearing on Medical, Sanitary and Veterinary Work in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, Being a Supplement to the Third Report of the Wellcome Research Laboratories at the Gordon Memo Ainhum. Ashley-Emile, in an interesting paper on ainhum, is inclined to trace a connection between ainhum and leprosy, regarding the former as a modified expression of the latter in persons of a "leprous diathesis." His argument is rather laboured, but there may be something in the anatomical reasons he advances for the seat of election of the disease. He believes the flexor tendon of the small toe to be specially subject to strain during the act of carrying heavy burdens, and that this, combined with an enfeebled nerve supply, leads to fibroid degeneration round the joint with resulting occlusion of arteries and strangulation of the toe, which enlarges owing to venous dilatation. Wellman, on the other hand, adduces evidence to show that ainhum and leprosy are not related, and in a later paper suggests that the chigger may play an important part in the development of the complaint. He points out that this theory accounts in large measure for the geographical distribution of the disease. Apart from these theories, ainhum has been stated to be due to injury, to be a trophoneurosis, a circumscribed scleroderma, a congenital, spontaneous amputation, and the result of self-mutilation by ligatures, wearing of toe-rings, etc. Manson favours the traumatic theory, and cites a similar condition affecting the tail of a pet monkey. There is nothing new to record regarding treatment. Ainhum occurs in the Sudan, and I have seen an imported case in Khartoum. So far as is at present known, the chigger is confined to the Bahr-El-Ghazal Province, while Dr. Wenyon reports ainhum to be common at Boron the White Nile. The natives attribute the condition to injury caused by the coarse grass. It would be interesting to determine accurately if the distribution of the disease and of the chigger coincide in the Southern Sudan. Air. The remarkable influence of rain as a purifier of the atmosphere was well shown by an investigation carried out in London in the summer of 1903. A rainfall of about 3-8 inches in five days actually was responsible for the removal of 3738 tons of solid impurities. Of these no less than 2000 tons consisted of soot and suspended matter, common salt and sulphate of ammonia constituting the remainder. This does not take into account the great bacterial purification also effected. Much of the Northern Sudan is practically rainless, and there can be no doubt we suffer from the lack of the freshening effect of rain upon the atmosphere. This, as has been pointed out, is due possibly to an oxidising action and perhaps to the formation of peroxide of hydrogen. No one who has lived long in Khartoum but knows there are times when the air seems lifeless and heavy. Indeed, this is frequently the case in the late afternoons in the winter. Doubtless the feeling is in part due to the dying down of the breeze, but though the air is free from gross impurities it is charged with organisms, especially with moulds. In this connection allusion may he made to Gordon's work on the presence of streptococcus brevis in the saliva, and its use as an indicator of air pollution. By this means he has shown the presence of particles of saliva in the air at a distance of 40 feet in front of a speaker.
