Book Synopsis The Ecology of Mycobacteria by : Jindrich Kazda
Download or read book The Ecology of Mycobacteria written by Jindrich Kazda and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detailed information dealing with the ecology of mycobacteria is derived from a variety of different scientific fields such as botany, biochemistry, genetics, immunology, microbiology and epidemiology. This text attempts to evaluate this information from an ecological point of view and to develop a strategy for the prevention of tuberculosis and other mycobacterioses based on the ecological behaviour of mycobacteria, especially the potentially pathogenic species capable of either growth in the environment or provoking disease. Regarding the interests of the developing countries, special attention is paid to the ecology of Mycobacterium leprae and to the supporting effect of accompanying mycobacteria in its pathogenicity. On a more positive side, environmental mycobacteria play an important role in the ecology of moorland dragonflies.
Book Synopsis The Ecology of Mycobacteria: Impact on Animal's and Human's Health by : Jindrich Kazda
Download or read book The Ecology of Mycobacteria: Impact on Animal's and Human's Health written by Jindrich Kazda and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: habitats and the overlapping of these biotopes by humans and animals contributed to the spread of mycobacteria and perhaps to their convergence to pathogenicity. It was not our intention to present a compendium covering all published results, but rather to issue a “readable” book, which is illustrative and thus focused on the principle facts. The increase in the number of Editors has allowed the sharing of original experiences regarding the ecology of mycobacteria, published here for the ?rst time in some cases. The supplemented edition should serve as a guide to these discoveries and also contribute to an understanding of clinically signi?cant species in human and animal medicine. Borstel, Germany, January 2009 Jindrich Kazda Editors’Comments The editors responsible for the chapters are listed under the title of each chapter. Authors are listed under the titles of subchapters. The references are listed as they appear in the databases Reference Manager (Thomson Reuters, Philadelphia) as imported from Web of Science (Thomson Reuters, Philadelphia) or PubMed (Medline, NLM Bethesda). A few citations, not indexed, were cited according to the reprints or books available. This principle resulted in minor differences in the titles (not all reference titles are in English, some references have capitalized title words, not all species names are according to the contemporary nomenclature and in italics). Some journals are cited with abbreviated titles, some in full, as available in the source databases. These differences were left in the format of the database.
Book Synopsis The Burdens of Disease by : J. N. Hays
Download or read book The Burdens of Disease written by J. N. Hays and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of the original edition of The Burdens of Disease that appeared in ISIS stated, "Hays has written a remarkable book. He too has a message: That epidemics are primarily dependent on poverty and that the West has consistently refused to accept this." This revised edition confirms the book's timely value and provides a sweeping approach to the history of disease. In this updated volume, with revisions and additions to the original content, including the evolution of drug-resistant diseases and expanded coverage of HIV/AIDS, along with recent data on mortality figures and other relevant statistics, J. N. Hays chronicles perceptions and responses to plague and pestilence over two thousand years of western history. Disease is framed as a multidimensional construct, situated at the intersection of history, politics, culture, and medicine, and rooted in mentalities and social relations as much as in biological conditions of pathology. This revised edition of The Burdens of Disease also studies the victims of epidemics, paying close attention to the relationships among poverty, power, and disease.

Book Synopsis Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Disease by : David E. Griffith
Download or read book Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Disease written by David E. Griffith and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-05 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive and authoritative source on nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pathogens and diseases and their appropriate management, with a focus on lung disease. NTM diseases, especially lung diseases, are increasing in prevalence in the U.S. and internationally with concomitant growing interest in a broad section of the medical community. Often merely included in coverage of tuberculosis, many aspects of NTM organisms and diseases are actually very different than TB. These differences are not intuitive or trivial and frequently result in suboptimal management of NTM patients. This book addresses these gaps in the literature with chapters on microbiology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, the various diseases that can stem from NTM, and their particular management. There is also coverage on prevention and NTM as a public health problem. For pulmonologists and infectious disease physicians, this is the definitive resource on nontuberculous mycobacteria.

Book Synopsis Foodborne Infections and Intoxications by : Michael J. Dark
Download or read book Foodborne Infections and Intoxications written by Michael J. Dark and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-03-06 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mycobacteria are well-known human and animal pathogens. The most common foodborne Mycobacterium is M. bovis. This causes a range of lesions, from classic pulmonary tuberculosis to cervical lymphadenitis, gastroenteritis, genitourinary infections, and disseminated disease. The disease incidence in humans is generally correlated with the prevalence in cattle. Other species, termed “non-tuberculous mycobacteria,” can (or are suspected to) cause foodborne and waterborne disease. Treatment is difficult and prolonged, unless surgical excision is possible.

Download or read book Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases written by Peter J. Hotez and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases Second Edition The neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are the most common infections of the world's poor, but few people know about these diseases and why they are so important. This second edition of Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases provides an overview of the NTDs and how they devastate the poor, essentially trapping them in a vicious cycle of extreme poverty by preventing them from working or attaining their full intellectual and cognitive development. Author Peter J. Hotez highlights a new opportunity to control and perhaps eliminate these ancient scourges, through alliances between nongovernmental development organizations and private-public partnerships to create a successful environment for mass drug administration and product development activities. Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases also Addresses the myriad changes that have occurred in the field since the previous edition. Describes how NTDs have affected impoverished populations for centuries, changing world history. Considers the future impact of alliances between nongovernmental development organizations and private-public partnerships. Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases is an essential resource for anyone seeking a roadmap to coordinate global advocacy and mobilization of resources to combat NTDs.

Book Synopsis Factors Associated with Mycobacterium Avium Complex Infection and Pulmonary Disease Progression by : Phung Kim Lam
Download or read book Factors Associated with Mycobacterium Avium Complex Infection and Pulmonary Disease Progression written by Phung Kim Lam and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), a resilient and ubiquitous non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) commonly found in water and soil, is a pathogen that can cause infection or pulmonary disease (MAC-PD). MAC-PD is an emerging condition but remains under-studied, particularly in characterizing infection, disease progression, and risk factors. Initially, a case-control study of San Diego patients examined factors associated with being culture-positive for MAC (n=62), relative to being positive for rapid-grower (n=32) and culture-negative (n=44). The majority of MAC+ patients had underlying lung diseases (82% with abnormal radiographs) but only one-third was suspected of having MAC disease (32% underwent treatment). Compared to the culture-negative group, the MAC+ group was 3.4 (95% CI: 1.2-9.7) times more likely to be born in coastal states. Compared to the more healthy rapid-growers group, the MAC+ group had significantly higher bacilli load (23% vs. 16% smear-positive), lower average body mass index (BMI, 22 vs. 28 kg/m2), and lower average serum albumin concentration (30 vs. 33 g/l). Subsequently, survival analysis of a national study focused on factors associated with MAC-PD improvement in 95 HIV-negative older adults. Originally enrolled in a trial of interferon-gamma treatment, all subjects received standard mycobacterial drug therapy three-times-weekly (TIW), instead of daily, for one year. TIW response was low (e.g., 44% had culture improvement). Patients with non-cavitary disease had 4.0 (95% CI: 1.7-9.2) times greater culture and 4.9 (95% CI: 1.9-13.0) times greater CT response rates than those with cavitary disease. Older, smear-negative, or previously untreated subjects, and those with longer ethambutol use or without severe pulmonary presentations also had greater improvement. In unadjusted analyses, culture improvement was significantly associated with use of multivitamin (HR=2.4), vitamin E (HR=3.2), and calcium supplements (HR=4.2), BMI e"9 kg/m2 (HR=2.2), and serum albumin e"6 g/l (HR=2.4); albumin e"4 g/l was also associated with CT improvement (HR=4.5). However, after adjusting for cavitary disease and other indicators of disease severity, these associations diminished significantly. Only use of calcium supplements remained independently associated with culture improvement (HR=4.0; 95% CI=1.6-9.7), but cause and effect cannot be assumed. Further research is needed to validate these findings, particularly under long-term treatment
