Parasitic Diseases

By: Dickson D. Despommier,Robert W. Gwadz,Peter J. Hotez

Worldwide, the numbers of people suffering and dying from parasitic diseases are overwhelming, with more than 100 million cases and 1 million deaths each year from malaria alone. Despite the magnitude of the problem and the importance of the parasites that cause opportunistic infections among persons with HIV/AIDS, medical schools in the United States, Canada, and other developed countries consistently reduce the amount of time spent on parasitic diseases in the curricu lum. As a result most medical students receive limited information about these diseases, and are inadequately prepared to diagnose or treat them as physicians. This problem is too large to be resolved within the time available for parasitology in the medical school curriculum; at most, students can be acquainted with the salient features of the medically important parasites. Likewise, the traditional isolation of parasitology from the rest of the curriculum (consistent with its exclu sion from most microbiology texts) is another unresolved problem. In my opinion, this is why most physicians are unable to think about the differential diagnosis of parasitic diseases in the same way that they routinely balance the probabilities of malignancy, cardiovascular, renal, and pulmonary disease vs other infectious diseases. To resolve these problems, relevant paradigms from parasitology must be used in the teaching of cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, and immu nology.

A Cognitive Model of Adolescent Suicide and Risk-Taking

By: Kate Sofronoff,Len Dalgleish,Robert Kosky

This book tackles an area of adolescent behavior that presents a significant challenge for parents, teachers and professionals the world over. Whilst much has been written on the topic of adolescent suicide we see continued high rates throughout industrialized nations. The overlap between suicidal behaviors and other forms of serious risk-taking is a relatively new avenue of research and gives insight into the motivations of some adolescents. The cognitive model developed and evaluated in this book provides further insight into the progression from early problems faced by young people to the serious outcomes of suicide and risk-taking. The model allows us to suggest points of intervention for young people and to demonstrate that whilst there are overlapping features, attempts to intervene would target different problem areas for suicidal adolescents than for risk-taking adolescents.

Biological Regulation and Development

Hormone Action

By: Robert F. Goldberger,Keith R. Yamamoto

The motivation for us to conceive this series of volumes on regulation was mainly our belief that it would be fun, and at the same time productive, to approach the subject in a way that differs from that of other treatises. We thought it might be interesting and instructive for both author and reader-to examine a particular area of investigation in a framework of many different problems. Cutting across the traditional boundaries that have separated the subjects in past volumes on regulation is not an easy thing to do-not because it is difficult to think of what interesting topics should replace the old ones, but because it is difficult to find authors who are willing to write about areas outside those pursued in their own laboratories. Anyone who takes on the task of reviewing a broad area of interest must weave together its various parts by picking up the threads from many different laboratories, and attempt to produce a fabric with a meaningful design. Finding persons who are likely to succeed in such a task was the most difficult part of our job. In the first volume of this treatise, most of the chapters dealt with the mechanisms of The second volume involved a somewhat regulation of gene expression in microorganisms. broader area, spanning the prokaryotic-eukaryotic border. Topics ranged from phage mor phogenesis to the role of gradients in development. The last volume-Volume 3A-con cerned hormones, as does this volume-Volume 3B.

Perspectives on Animal Behavior

By: Judith Goodenough,Betty McGuire,Robert A. Wallace

Based upon ecological and environmental principles, it introduces students to scientific reasoning and methodology while also addressing development and mechanisms. Includes classical studies that form the foundation of this field but concentrates on more current work in order to present the thinking and experiments which have led to modern understanding of animal behavior.

Parasitic Diseases Seventh Edition

By: Daniel Griffin,Robert Gwadz,Peter Hotez,Charles Knirsch,Dickson Despommier

The accumulation of new knowledge over the last several years has provided the impetus forthis, the 7th edition of Parasitic Diseases, the most widely distributed textbook of parasitic diseases in the world. By integrating all the salient information containedin over 1000 new references with the current descriptions of each pathogen, we continuethe never-ending process of evaluating, revising, and improving our understanding of thesenoxious organisms. New features to the 7th edition include a clinical summary section, additionallife cycle diagrams, and a pronouncer's guide to parasite names. Consideration of thebiographies of those notable contributors to the field of parasitology has also been extended.Parasites Without Borders continues to make available, free of charge, the PDF version ofParasitic Diseases in both English and Spanish editions.Ultimately, it is through the education of medical students, physicians, and parasitologists, and vigilance of commitment that we can hope to improve the lives of hundreds of millionsof less fortunate individuals, helping them to live longer and more productive lives. The7th edition of Parasitic Diseases is dedicated to this premise. We invite you to join us inthis global effort
