Nova Science Publishers Inc COVID-19 Contracting: Opportunities, Actions and
Book SynopsisIn March 2020, Congress passed the CARES Act as part of the federal response to COVID-19. The act had certain provisions for federal contracting, including providing additional flexibilities. Contracting plays a critical role in the pandemic response as agencies obligate billions of dollars for goods and services. The act also included a provision to review federal contracting in response to COVID-19. This book examines, among other objectives, COVID-19 contract obligations and characteristics of vendors, contracting challenges, including with agency assessments of vendors, and whether lessons learned reflect those challenges.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Interdisciplinary Approaches on Opportunistic
Book SynopsisOpportunistic infections (OIs) are the growing concern as the microbe takes advantage when the immune system is weak. Even the microbes that reside in us for many years may cause serious disease when the immune system has weakened. Also, certain microbes get reactivated and cause opportunistic infections. Such common OIs include oral and pharyngeal candidiasis, Tuberculosis, Herpes Zoster, Bacterial pneumonia, Cryptoccal meningitis, Taxoplasmasis. Such secondary infections are common in immunocompromised and long term hospitalized severely ill patients. Currently, the incidence of secondary infections is increased world-wide in COVID-19 infected patients. The interface of biology, chemistry, computer science and mathematics has shown tremendous innovations in infectious diseases. In this book, such interdisciplinary approaches have been focused for the management of OIs. The edited book would be helpful for scientists, scholars, industrialist to obtain updated key information about interdisciplinary approaches to tackle opportunistic infections.

Profile Books Ltd How to Spend a Trillion Dollars: The 10 Global
Book SynopsisIf you had a trillion dollars and a year to spend it for the good of the world and the advancement of science, what would you do? It's an unimaginably large sum, yet it's only around one per cent of world GDP, and about the valuation of Google, Microsoft or Amazon. It's a much smaller sum than the world found to bail out its banks in 2008 or deal with Covid-19. But what could you achieve with $1 trillion? You could solve the problem of the pandemic, for one, and eradicate malaria, and maybe cure all disease. You could end global poverty. You could settle on the Moon and explore the solar system. You could build a massive particle collider to probe the nature of reality like never before. You could build quantum computers, develop artificial intelligence, or increase human lifespan. You could even create a new life form. Or how about transitioning the world to clean energy? Or preserving the rainforests, or saving all endangered species? Maybe you could refreeze the melting Arctic, launch a new sustainable agricultural revolution, and reverse climate change? How to Spend a Trillion Dollars is the ultimate thought experiment but it is also a call to arms: these are all things we could do, if we put our minds to it - and our money.Trade ReviewHow To Spend a Trillion Dollars is both original and ingenious. Rowan Hooper looks at the problems facing the world today - all the big ones - and presents solutions that are realistic and workable, if governments can wring the money out of giant corporations - and billionaires - that don't like paying tax. Hooper writes with great vivacity and persuasiveness and his book is an exhilarating, encouraging, and hopeful reminder that the solutions are there if we have the will to find them. I hope it sells a trillion. -- Philip PullmanWill someone iust give Rowan Hooper a mere trillion dollars and let him, very sensibly, save the world? -- Caitlin Moranln a world of doom-scrolling, trembling on the brink of causing a mass extinction event that will devastate civilisation, it's crucially important to point out that we already have the abilities needed not only to avoid catastrophe, but to thrive. That's what Hooper does in fascinating and exciting detail. -- Kim Stanley RobinsonAt a moment when science is proving it can solve the most urgent of problems - given the right funding - Rowan Hooper asks a very interesting question. How much would it cost to solve all the world's other problems? ... Like any good game, this is deadly serious. What starts off seeming absurd ends up feeling obvious. Why would we not invest in our future? As Hooper says, "The world is full of extraordinary opportunities, and the vast majority are never undertaken" -- James McConnachie * Sunday Times *Brimming with exciting possibilities for a future in which the health and safety of the whole population becomes their responsibility -- Delia SmithWhat would you do with a trillion dollars? In this hopeful and very readable book, Rowan Hooper shows us how a thoughtful investment of financial capital could be used to solve the great challenges we face. None is more near and dire than the climate crisis, and Hooper provides reason for optimism here. The solutions-green energy chief among them-already exist. It's simply a matter of us investing in them. And a trillion dollars spent on climate solutions would payback several times over in avoided damage and destruction and new jobs. Read this book and be inspired to change the world. -- Michael MannI've never before read a book which made me aspire to be a tax collector. But if I was, and if I could just get all the money which the greedy mega-Corps dodge paying, what Hooper so elegantly yet pragmatically shows is that we could so easily "save the world" and have so much fun too. I'll get my suit on! -- Chris PackhamIn a world in which everything seems to be going wrong, this is a refreshingly optimistic book about what real solutions to the world's biggest problems could look like - and cost. Beautifully positive, lucid and accessible. -- Angela Saini, author of SuperiorBy assessing what it would take to tackle the world's biggest problems, Hooper finds that even huge investments pay for themselves many times over. In that sense, his book is like a new version of Brewster's Millions: spend now, win later, with more jobs, better health and, crucially, a better functioning biosphere. * New Scientist *Rowan Hooper shows that the world's most intractable problems might not actually be intractable, if we just devoted the resources to solving them. How to Spend a Trillion Dollars is a fascinating, thought-provoking work. -- Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Sixth Extinction

Clinical Press Ltd PANDEMIC: Conspiracies and Cover-ups!
Book SynopsisThe 2nd edition of PANDEMIC (Clinical Press 2021) updates the history of plagues and provides extra chapters concentrating on the origin of the Covid-19 pandemic, treatment, vaccination and the effect of lockdowns. As one furloughed doctor said the first edition sorted out my mind. We are very lucky to be living in the 21st century and comparison with the many plagues of the past puts the Covid-19 pandemic in its place. The second edition continues this cathartic exercise and puts into some order the origin, the prevention and the treatment of the condition. Historical records show that people who work with viruses are often prone to accidental escapes from their laboratories like the one giving origin to COVID-19. The lessons of history are heavily in favour of the lab-leak theory compared with the now-discredited theory of zoonotic origin. Interspersed with the serious history are true personal anecdotes and a few ridiculous cartoons. The author points out: Laughing at the things we fear is one of the best ways of putting those fears into perspective.

John Libbey Eurotext Biodiversity of Malaria in the World
Book SynopsisA million deaths every year, 500 million sufferers, 2 billion people at risk: those were the figures concerning malaria in 2000. The distribution and seriousness of the disease vary according to pathogenic agents, vectors and the environment. At the present time, 90% of deaths from the strain of malaria caused by P. falciparum affect tropical Africa, where only 10% of the world''s population lives. The African continent is home to the most efficient vectors and the climate is eminently favourable to transmission of the disease. Serious outbreaks also occur in the wooded regions of South-East Asia, New Guinea and Amazonia. Elsewhere in the tropical and subtropical world, the strain of malaria caused by P. vivax and/or P. malariae is less severe. This book describes 50 years of active struggle against malaria, a succession of periods of euphoria followed by periods of depression that have not shaken researchers'' belief that the scourge of malaria can be eliminated.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Tu Youyou And The Discovery Of Artemisinin: 2015
Book SynopsisNobel laureate Tu Youyou won the 2015 prize for Medicine/Physiology for the discovery of artemisinin, a drug therapy for malaria that has saved millions across the globe.This book traces the path of discovery beginning with Chairman Mao's 1964 instruction to Chinese researchers to find a cure for malaria, a disease that plagued the military and civilians alike in endemic regions. It chronicles the years of painstaking research to find effective anti-malarial drugs, and how an entry in a collection of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions gave Tu Youyou the clue which led her to successfully extract artemisinin from the plant, Artemisia annua.Gathering together information from a variety of sources including first-hand accounts, this book describes the contributions of the many organisations, scientists, doctors and countless others who played a part in the process of discovery and clinical testing. It also provides insights into the challenges of carrying out such an extensive research project with limited resources during the upheavals of the Cultural Revolution. An inspirational read for young scientists.Includes the translation of Professor Tu Youyou's 2015 Nobel Lecture.

Oxford University Press Neuroinfections
Book SynopsisNeuroinfections presents 35 subjects, each with a different neurologic infectious or inflammatory disorder. A short vignette provides salient clinical symptoms and signs, laboratory studies, spinal fluid and imaging findings for each patient. A highly focused discussion leads the reader to the final diagnosis. Important features of the history, neurologic examination, findings on CSF and imaging are emphasized. There is no other book that provides a careful case description that includes all the neurologic features of 19 neurologic diseases produced by virus, as well as cases of bacterial meningitis and other infections produced by spirochetes, protozoans and prions, as well as inflammatory diseases of the nervous system of unknown etiology. A unique feature of the book is that every patient described is a real-time case that the author has seen or on whom he provided consultation. Anyone who reads every case in this book will know the essentials needed to diagnose and care for patientTrade ReviewThis is a useful, easy to read, 'charming' book highlighting the clinical presentation of common and not so common infections of the nervous system, written by one of the leaders in clinical and research neurovirology. By using the format of clinical vignettes the reader is immediately engaged and then is asked and told what to do next... Treatment is evidence based when such evidence is available and when not; the reader is provided the approach of an experienced neurologist with a career in neuroinfectious diseases... While this book serves as a resource to which one return when confronted with a patient with a clinical presentation that might well be due to infection or inflammation of the nervous system, it is also possible to simply read the book just for 'enjoyment'. I know I did. -- Robert P Lisak, MD, FRCP, FAAN, Parker Webber Chair in Neurology, Professor of Immunology and Microbiology, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, MI Dr Gilden has written a remarkably concise and useful guide to the management of a wide range of infections of the nervous system... and he has managed the very difficult feat of giving a wealth of key information about each condition while at the same time getting over with commendable clarity all the key aetiological, clinical and management points... I am unaware of any previous book on this subject, in particular in relation to virus infections of the nervous system, which manages to present such an integrated, comprehensive, and practical approach as has been achieved here. This book will undoubtedly be of considerable value to a wide range of readers including neurologists, infectious diseases and general medicine consultants, specialist trainees, medical students and other health professionals. -- Professor Peter GE Kennedy CBE, MD, PhD, DSc, FRCP, FMedSci, FRSE, Burton Chair of Neurology, Glasgow University, College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences, Scotland, UK Thirty-five succinctly analyzed and cogently discussed vignettes are written by a world renowned clinical neurologist with extensive experience in infections and inflammatory diseases of the nervous system. The cases are practical, well-written and packed with important teaching points and clinical pearls. The author does not shy away from controversy and provides strong opinions on management when scientific data is not available. This is a book that all clinical neurologists should keep on their desk. -- Professor Oded Abramsky, MD, PhD, FRCP, Chairmen Emeritus of the Department of Neurology, Dean Emeritus of the Hebrew University Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem, Israel "Neuroinflammatory diseases are among the most important, inherently interesting, sometimes exotic, constantly changing, and always challenging problems in medicine. In this wonderful volume, Don Gilden has brought together a lifetime of clinical experience to highlight, in an accessible case method format, both the common and the rare. The result is a unique survey of the field by one of its true giants, with insightful pedagogical insights that burst forth from every page. There is new, practical information here for everyone, from students to the most seasoned practitioner." -- Stephen L. Hauser, MD, Professor & Chair, Department of Neurology, University of California, San Francisco, CA In this book, Dr. Gilden addresses 35 different cases of clinical infectious and inflammatory diseases of the nervous system through highly insightful presentations. Each case tells a practical story of how such diseases begin, are diagnosed and are managed and treated. -- Howard L. Lipton, MD, Department of Microbiology-Immunology, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL Dr. Gilden has provided a very engaging approach to helping clinicians who care for individuals with a wide variety of infections and inflammatory diseases of the nervous system. The challenge of a case description is followed by his analysis of pathogenesis, then management, and finally bulleted "Key Points to Remember." Brief bibliographies list carefully selected references. Neuroinfections will be most useful to neurology and internal medicine residents, and to experienced clinicians who may not be dealing with these disorders on a daily basis. -- Donald Silberberg, MD, Professor and Chair Emeritus, Department of Neurology, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA "This volume will have a significant place in the clinician's library. The format of 1) a case report, 2) what to do now (diagnosis and treatment), 3) key points about the infection and 4) further reading will serve as an excellent manual for students, residents and clinicians. It is clearly and concisely written and will be important in both academic settings and to private practitioners." -- Leslie P. Weiner, MD, Department of Neurology, Keck Medical Center of USC, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA "A helpful and informative summary of major etiologies of neurologic infections, in an enjoyable, easy-to-read format." -- Emerging Infectious Diseases "The narrative is very clear and well written and flows smoothly. ... It is an excellent introduction to a complicated and difficult field and should be available to the neurology resident and general neurologist as well as the specialist." --Journal of the Neurological SciencesTable of ContentsSECTION I Virus infections ; 1.

Taking readers from Kenya to the ‘expert committees’ in Geneva, this book shows how economic dogma trumped science in shaping global health policy in the twentieth century.”—Salmaan Keshavjee, author of Blind Spot: How Neoliberalism Infiltrated Global Health -- Salmaan Keshavjee“McMillen’s impressive global history of TB shows why it is essential that TB workers and policymakers understand the histories of past control efforts and the local settings and political contingencies that shaped them.”—Randall Packard, author of White Plague, Black Labor: Tuberculosis and the Political Economy of Health and Disease in South Africa -- Randall Packard“Once seen as a disease of the past, tuberculosis is making a frightening revival. McMillen crosses geographical, temporal, and disciplinary boundaries in this transnational history of global eradication efforts. Discovering Tuberculosis eloquently and disturbingly explains how and why TB remains such a durable scourge today.”—Matthew Klingle, Bowdoin College -- Matthew Klingle“Based on an impressive reading of the medical literature and some rich archival collections, this book does much with the history of tuberculosis into the early 2000s, with a focus on global TB policy that will be quite useful for the many people interested and involved today in TB control.”—David S.
