Meningococcal Disease: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Medicine) by Andrew J. Pollard and Martin C.J. Maiden (Hardcover - Aug 2001)

---

Book Description:

Andrew Pollard and Martin Maiden bring together a panel of leading authorities to produce a comprehensive, interdisciplinary survey of recent advances and knowledge about meneigococcal disease. The review and methods-based chapters collected here provide essential information for diagnosis in the clinical microbiology laboratory, isolate characterization, clinical management, and control of meningococcal disease. They also examine the immunopathological mechanisms occurring in the acutely ill, host-pathogen interactions, and the possible components of meningococcus responsible for virulence. Meningococcal Disease: Methods and Protocols integrates the basic science, clinical, and epidemiological aspects of this terrible infectious disease to promote the deeper understanding needed to identify novel targets for therapeutic interventions and vaccines.

The Complete HIV/AIDS Teaching Kit

By Josefina Card, Angela Amarillas, Alana Conner, Diana Dull Akers, Julie Solomon

Product Description:



In today's highly emotional HIV/AIDS debates, HIV risk behaviors are often simplistically described as a matter of "human choice," with little attention paid to the complex social, environmental, cultural, and economic factors impacting these choices. It is critically important to understand not only the science of the disease but also the behavioral and sociocultural influences that both facilitate, and prevent the spread of HIV.
????: Study Temple-All kinds of Study Material The Complete HIV/AIDS Teaching Kit

This unique teaching kit--a research-based resource for a diverse audience, including academics, students, and health professionals--facilitates this understanding. The book covers the biomedical, social, psychological, and behavioral aspects of AIDS, thus providing a multidisciplinary view of prevention and treatment.

The Complete HIV/AIDS Teaching Kit offers an overview of what science knows about the incidence, prevalence, antecedents, consequences, prevention, and treatment of HIV/AIDS and is organized in four parts:

• HIV/AIDS: The Epidemic
• Preventing AIDS
• Living with HIV/AIDS
• Gender, Culture, and HIV/AIDS

Use the companion volume, Tools for Building Culturally Competent HIV Prevention Programs (Springer Publishing late 2007), to answer all your questions about program structure, effectiveness, goals, recruitment, evaluation, and more.

• ISBN-13 / EAN: 9789241547581

Product Description:



The emergence in 2006 of extensively drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis, especially in countries with a high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus, is a serious threats to global public health and jeopardizes efforts to effectively control the disease. These important developments and the availability of new evidence related to the diagnosis and management of drug-resistant tuberculosis have mandated an urgent update of existing guidelines. Guidelines for the Programmatic Management of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis: Emergency Updated Edition 2008 replaces previous publications by the World Health Organization on this subject.



The Guidelines offer updated recommendations for the diagnosis and management of drug-resistant tuberculosis in a variety of geographical, economic and social settings, and the recording of data that enables the monitoring and evaluation of programs. Intended for use by both tuberculosis control programs and medical practitioners in low- and middle-income countries, the guidelines take into account a number of recommendations which will support the achievement by countries of the goals of the Global Plan to Stop TB 2006-2015 of the Stop TB Partnership.
