Book excerpt: Title: The Adventures of Lucas and Erythro Author: Harry Mimna Illustrator: Ivy O'Connor Erythro, a young and ambitious red blood cell, is extra proud of his job in the body. He thinks he's got the most important job of all! Then he meets Lucas, a hard working, yet different looking, white cell. Erythro later realizes when, through a scary near death experience with harmful bacteria, he gets saved by Lucas at the last second! They go through life in the big bold world of the body's blood stream, and meet all kinds of new cells. Through some different and sometimes scary experiences, they come to realize they are all part of the team to keep the body healthy. They experience new adventures, from a blood donation and transfusion, a battle of bacteria, a fight with a virus, to finding out what cancer cells look like and what a radiation beam can do! With many lessons to be had, they go through it all together until the very end. The reader and listener can gain insight into how the blood cells function.

About the Author and Illustrator Harry Mimna grew up in a small town in the mountains of Pennsylvania. He went to work as a nursing assistant in the 1960s during a military draft. The nurses he worked with encouraged him to go into nursing as a career since he did a great job. So as the first person in his family to go to college, he received his associate degree in nursing in 1976 and his bachelor of science degree in 1980 at the University of Maryland. His first job as a registered nurse was at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He enjoyed a long and fulfilling career as an RN at many different hospitals. He retired from nursing after thirty-eight years in 2014. While he worked as a nurse, he also married and had two daughters, whom he would tell made-up bedtime stories to. The stories were of these two cells named Lucas and Erythro, who would go on many different adventures in the body. His two daughters would sit starry-eyed and attentive at their dad's stories and would ask for a new story every night. His oldest daughter, Ivy, now grown, fondly remembered her favorite childhood stories of Lucas and Erythro. She often asked that he write down the stories she was told as a child. She didn't want the stories to be forgotten. She wanted to one day read the stories to her own children. It wasn't until Harry retired that he finally took the time to write his stories down, and the book, The Adventures of Lucas and Erythro was born. As an experienced graphic designer, his daughter, Ivy, jumped at the opportunity to illustrate and design the book, make her favorite childhood stories come to life, and share these stories with other children around the world.

The Origin (as it is widely known) was literally only an abstract of the manuscript Darwin had originally intended to complete and publish as the formal presentation of his views on evolution. Compared with the Origin, his original long manuscript work on Natural Selection, which is presented here and made available for the first time in printed form, has more abundant examples and illustrations of Darwin's argument, plus an extensive citation of sources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like sharks, epidemic diseases always lurk just beneath the surface. This fast-paced history of their effect on mankind prompts questions about the limits of scientific knowledge, the dangers of medical hubris, and how we should prepare as epidemics become ever more frequent. Ever since the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic, scientists have dreamed of preventing catastrophic outbreaks of infectious disease. Yet, despite a century of medical progress, viral and bacterial disasters continue to take us by surprise, inciting panic and dominating news cycles. From the Spanish flu and the 1924 outbreak of pneumonic plague in Los Angeles to the 1930 'parrot fever' pandemic and the more recent SARS, Ebola, and Zika epidemics, the last 100 years have been marked by a succession of unanticipated pandemic alarms. Like man-eating sharks, predatory pathogens are always present in nature, waiting to strike; when one is seemingly vanquished, others appear in its place. These pandemics remind us of the limits of scientific knowledge, as well as the role that human behaviour and technologies play in the emergence and spread of microbial diseases.

Book excerpt: Childen's palliative care has developed rapidly as a discipline, as health care professionals recognize that the principles of adult palliative care may not always be applicable to children at the end of life. The unique needs of dying children are particularly evident across Africa, where the scale of the problem is overwhelming, and the figures so enormous that they are barely comprehensible: over 400,000 children in Africa died from AIDS in 2003, and out of the 166,000 children a year diagnosed with cancer, 85% of these are in the developing world. Despite the enormous need, provision of children's palliative care in Africa is almost non-existent, with very few health workers trained and confident to provide care for dying children. The challenges of providing palliative care in this setting are different to those in more developed countries, contending with the shortage of physical and human resources in addition to the vast scope of the care needed. Written by a group with wide experience of caring for dying children in Africa, this book provides practical, realistic guidance by improving access to, and delivery of, palliative care in this demanding setting. It looks at the themes common to palliative care--including communication, assessment, symptom management, psychosocial issues, ethical dilemmas, end of life care, and tips for the professional on compassion and conservation of energy--but always retains the focus on the particular needs of the health care professional in Africa. While containing some theory, the emphasis is on practical action throughout the book. Children's Palliative Care in Africa provides health care professionals working in Africa, and other resource-poor settings, with the confidence, knowledge, and capacity to improve care for the terminally ill child in constrained and demanding environments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just one of a series of volumes on differing aspects of hypoxia, this authoritative text focuses on cutting-edge research at the interface of hypoxia and biomedicine. Hypoxia – or lack of oxygen – is a constant threat to the human body and its vital organs, one that can take its toll in a number of situations. There are many situations in which the threat is heightened in health and disease, but mechanisms have evolved to lessen its detrimental effects. The International Hypoxia Symposia was founded to enable scientists, clinicians, physiologists, immunologists, mountaineers and other interested individuals to share their experiences of the situations associated with the lack of oxygen and the adaptations that allow us to survive.

Book excerpt: Patients with eating disorders frequently feel that they aren’t "sick enough" to merit treatment, despite medical problems that are both measurable and unmeasurable. They may struggle to accept rest, nutrition, and a team to help them move towards recovery. Sick Enough offers patients, their families, and clinicians a comprehensive, accessible review of the medical issues that arise from eating disorders by bringing relatable case presentations and a scientifically sound, engaging style to the topic. Using metaphor and patient-centered language, Dr. Gaudiani aims to improve medical diagnosis and treatment, motivate recovery, and validate the lived experiences of individuals of all body shapes and sizes, while firmly rejecting dieting culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biological activity of mycotoxins ranges from weak and/or sometimes positive effects, such as antibacterial activity (see penicillin derivatives derived from Penicillium strains) to strong mutagenic (e. g. aflatoxins, patulin), carcinogenic (e. g. aflatoxins), teratogenic, neurotoxic (e. g. ochratoxins), nephrotoxic (e. g. fumonisins, citrinin), hepatotoxic, and immunotoxic (e. g. ochratoxins, diketopiperazines) activity. Nowadays, many laboratories around the world are specialized in the detection of mycotoxins in food products and contaminated material found in housing. In this volume, a focus on the most important classes of mycotoxins is provided and their chemistry of the last ten years is discussed. In each Section, the individual biological impact is outlined. Sections are arranged according to mycotoxin classes (e. g. aflatoxins) and/or structural classes (e. g. resorcinyl lactones, diketopiperazines). The biology of mycotoxins is also described.
