Springer Rheumatic Fever
Book SynopsisToday rheumatic fever is still the most common cause of heart disease in children and young adults in developing countries. This disease is typically associated with poverty, in particular with poor housing, overcrowding and inadequate medical care. Rheumatic fever has almost disappeared from economically developed countries; this trend has paralleled improvements in standards of living. However, the recent resurgence of rheumatic fever in middle-class families in the U. S. A. has re-emphasized the importance of this disease in the developed countries as well. Prevention and control of rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease is an important part of the WHO cardiovascular disease program. Based on earlier WHO experience, and on the magnitude of the problem, it was realized that concerted action was needed to combat this significant cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The present program has been developed on the principle that sound knowledge and reliable technology already exist for implementing community programs for the prevention and control of rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease with the intention of extending activities toward nationwide coverage. The first edition of this book was an excellent instrument to assist in the control of this disease. The present volume with dissemination of knowledge to health personnel will contribute to closing the gap between knowledge and implementation and it links with WHO's endeavors in prevention and control of rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease.Table of Contents1 Definitions, history, and geography.- Definitions of rheumatic fever and related terms.- Brief history of rheumatic fever.- Incidence and prevalence.- Community medicine and public health importance.- 2 Etiology and epidemiology.- Streptococcal infections.- Host factors.- Environment.- 3 Pathogenesis and pathology.- Pathogenesis.- Pathology.- 4 Clinical manifestations.- Mode of onset.- Carditis.- Joint involvement.- Jaccoud’s arthritis.- Chorea.- Subcutaneous nodules.- Erythema marginatum.- Other manifestations.- Duration of the rheumatic attack.- Rheumatic fever in the adult.- 5 Laboratory manifestations.- Evidence of a recent streptococcal infection.- Evidence of systemic inflammation.- Laboratory evidence of heart involvement.- 6 Diagnosis.- Jones criteria.- Critique of the criteria.- 7 Differential diagnosis.- Musculoskeletal conditions simulating rheumatic fever.- Conditions simulating chorea.- Other common diagnostic errors.- Cardiac conditions simulating rheumatic carditis and rheumatic heart disease.- 8 Treatment.- General measures and bed rest.- Antimicrobial treatment.- Analgesic and anti-inflammatory treatment.- Diuretics and cardiotonic medication.- Treatment of chorea.- 9 Sequels of rheumatic fever: chronic rheumatic heart disease.- Prognosis.- Mitral regurgitation.- Aortic regurgitation.- Mitral stenosis.- 10 Rheumatic recurrences.- Quantitative aspects.- Qualitative aspects.- 11 Prevention of recurrent attacks.- Continual parenteral prophylaxis.- Continual oral prophylaxis.- Duration of continual prophylaxis.- Obstacles to continual prophylaxis.- Mass prophylaxis.- 12 Prevention of first attacks of rheumatic fever.- Diagnosis of streptococcal pharyngitis.- Technique of taking a throat culture.- Diagnosis without a throat culture.- Treatment of streptococcal pharyngitis.- 13 Role of health care workers other than physicians in the control of rheumatic fever.- Health education.- 14 The future of rheumatic fever.- Streptococcal vaccine.- Other possible advances.- A future without vaccine.

Cambridge University Press The Concepts of Illness Disease and Morbus
Book SynopsisDr Taylor's book analyses the disease concept as it developed in medical history and seeks to clarify it with the help of concepts largely derived from logical class theories. A solution is proposed to the problem of how to distinguish between the class of 'patients' and the class of 'healthy persons' which corresponds to the actual diagnostic practices of doctors. The earliest theories of disease postulated concrete entities which exist independently of the body. The notion of disease entity has lost its original ontological connotations and instead its important feature has become the possession of a unitary and self-contained character. Dr Taylor describes the modern theories as essentially 'reactive' in character, that is the symptoms of a disease are the bodily reactions to the 'noxae'. After seeing the subject in its historical content, Dr Taylor goes on to discuss in detail the notion of the classification of diseases, making extensive use of modern views on the logic of classesTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; 1. Early notions of disease; 2. Ontological theories of disease; 3. Reactive theories of disease; 4. Source indicators and their perception; 5. Classes and classifications; 6. Morbidity; 7. Morbi; 8.

Random House USA Inc Saving Milly
Book SynopsisMorton Kondracke never intended to wed Millicent Martinez, but the fiery daughter of a radical labor organizer eventually captured his heart. They married, raised two daughters, and loved and fought passionately for twenty years. Then, in 1987, Milly noticed a glitch in her handwriting, a small tremor that would lead to the shattering diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. Saving Milly is Kondracke’s powerfully moving chronicle of his vital and volatile marriage, one that has endured and deepened in the face of tragedy; it also follows his own transformation from careerist to caregiver and activist, a man who will “fight all the way, without pause or rest, to ‘save’ his beloved Milly.” *(* Linda Bowles, The Washington Times)

Johns Hopkins University Press Mechanism Experiment Disease
Book SynopsisBertoloni Meli's critical study of this key figure and the works of his contemporaries-including Borelli, Swammerdam, Redi, and Ruysch-opens a wonderful window onto the scientific and medical worlds of the seventeenth century.Trade ReviewThe strength of Meli's work lies in his attention to detail in highly complex Latin works, and in his sensitivity to unpublished work, correspondence, diaries, and above all, to the technologies of illustration. -- William Poole Times Higher Education Distinguished as this work was, in Mechanism, Experiment, Disease Domenico Bertoloni Meli maintains there is a great deal more to Marcello Malpighi. In this new book-part biography, part intellectual history of anatomy (the philosophy and mechanics of the body), and part history of medicine in the 17th century-Bertoloni Meli tells readers why. What he does wonderfully is to locate Malpighi as a practicing physician during Italy's scientific revolution.

Book SynopsisBertoloni Meli's critical study of this key figure and the works of his contemporaries-including Borelli, Swammerdam, Redi, and Ruysch-opens a wonderful window onto the scientific and medical worlds of the seventeenth century.Trade ReviewThe strength of Meli's work lies in his attention to detail in highly complex Latin works, and in his sensitivity to unpublished work, correspondence, diaries, and above all, to the technologies of illustration. -- William Poole Times Higher Education Distinguished as this work was, in Mechanism, Experiment, Disease Domenico Bertoloni Meli maintains there is a great deal more to Marcello Malpighi. In this new book-part biography, part intellectual history of anatomy (the philosophy and mechanics of the body), and part history of medicine in the 17th century-Bertoloni Meli tells readers why. What he does wonderfully is to locate Malpighi as a practicing physician during Italy's scientific revolution. Bertoloni Meli conveys the excitement of the new science, voices the tumult that ensued as opposing schools of thought clashed, and reminds readers that priority disputes are nothing new. JAMA Bertoloni Meli makes great use of Malpighi's wonderful epistolary consultations to remind readers that boundaries between research and practice have been drawn too sharply by historians.
