Written by the Nobel Prize Laureate in Physiology or Medicine 2008In the 1970s, the author of this work and his co-workers initially found Epstein-Barr virus DNA in Burkitt’s lymphomas and nasopharyngeal cancer and made the connection between HPV infection and cervical cancer. It was also during this period and subsequently that scientists all over the world discovered tumor-inducing bacteria, viruses, parasites, and protozoa, opening up entirely new prospects for the prevention and treatment of infection-induced cancer by vaccination.Adopting a unifying concept and a consistent structure for the individual chapters, Professor zur Hausen provides a thorough and comprehensive overview on cancer-inducing infective agents — viruses, bacteria and parasites — and their corresponding transforming capacities and mechanisms. He does not cover the structure and molecular biology of the agents presented in great detail, but rather concentrates on those aspects that link the respective agents to human oncogenesis. As such, an extensive bibliography after each chapter permits further studies on the subject.With a chapter on Helicobacter written by James Fox and his colleagues at Harvard University, this is an invaluable and instructive reference for all oncologists, microbiologists and molecular biologists working in the area of infections and cancer.

Specially designed, patented mats protect children against possible infection from harbored germs. Infection Control Rest Mats are manufactured using radio frequency vinyl-welding technology that completely seals all seams. No holes in the rest mat mean no portals for entry by bacteria to colonize the material. This process controls the cross-infection when properly sanitized with a bleach and water solution. Mats are made of foam and covered in vinyl. Each 2" thick mat also includes a heavy-duty, clear pocket for a name tag. Four-fold mat is segmented for easy storage. Simply fold and stow.

An understanding of the social sciences within infection prevention and control (IPC) is important for those working in health and social care. This new book, Infection Prevention and Control: A Social Science Perspective positions the specialty of IPC as more than a technical discipline concerned with microbes. It is about people and their behaviour in context and the book therefore explores a number of relevant social sciences and their relationship to IPC across different contexts and cultures. IPC is relevant to every person who works in, and accesses health care and it remains a global challenge. Exploring novel approaches and perspectives that expand our collective horizons in an ever changing and evolving IPC landscape therefore makes sense. Key Features: Offers new perspectives beyond the topic area of infection prevention and control, to push the frontiers of knowledge and to challenge the status quo Interprofessional in nature and relevant to all those involved in the provision of medicine, health, and social care irrespective of their roles Truly international in nature in that the chapters have been developed by a range of individuals from across the globe. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Over the past several decades, “infection control has become a rapidly growing multidisciplinary field of incredible importance with regard to the safety of patients and healthcare workers, regulation and accreditation of healthcare facilities, and finances. The focus of this field has increasingly turned to prevention rather than control of hospital-acquired infections. This issue will bring the infectious disease specialist up to date on important topics such as hand hygiene, sterilization, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, antibiotic stewardship, and specific infections of particular concern.

According to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 2 million patients in the United States acquire a healthcare-associated infection in the hospital each year, and about 90,000 of these patients die because of their infection. Infections are also a complication of care in other settings including long term care organizations, clinics, and dialysis centers.

Contributors from throughout the world review the etiology, diagnosis, and management of infections in every type of orthopedic patient. After an overview and discussions of the relevant bacteriology, the sections cover diagnosis and assessment, prophylaxis, surgical techniques in osteomyelitis, antibiotics, host response, special situations, tuberculosis and uncommon bone infections, and psychological aspects.

Five ordinary people must pay the price of survival at the end of the world.A mysterious virus suddenly strikes down millions. Three days later, its victims awake with a single purpose: spread the Infection. As the world lurches toward the apocalypse, some of the Infected continue to change, transforming into horrific monsters. In one American city, a small group struggles to survive. Sarge, a tank commander hardened by years of fighting in Afghanistan. Wendy, a cop still fighting for law and order in a lawless land. Ethan, a teacher searching for his lost family. Todd, a high school student who sees second chances in the end of the world. Paul, a minister who wonders why God has forsaken his children. And Anne, their mysterious leader, who holds an almost fanatical hatred for the Infected. Together, they fight their way to a massive refugee camp where thousands have made a stand. There, what's left of the government will ask them to accept a mission that will determine the survival of them all--a dangerous journey back onto the open road and into the very heart of Infection.

An omnibus edition of the first two books in Craig DiLouie’s Infection War series.The world is rocked as one in five people collapse screaming before falling into a coma. Three days later, the Infected awake with a single purpose–spread the Infection. A small group—a cop, a teacher, a student and a reverend—team up with a military crew to survive. But at the refugee camp what’s left of the government will ask them to accept a dangerous mission–back into the very heart of Infection. This edition features the previously published The Infection (Book One) and The Killing Floor (Book Two) in Craig DiLouie’s The Infection series.

Leisure activities, from the mundane to the exotic, expose us to a growing list of pathogenic microbes, some new and many increasingly resistant to current therapies. Common pets, livestock, traveling, and cuisine all have the potential to cause illnesses that may be difficult to diagnose and treat. Engagingly written by a team of infectious disease specialists and edited by David Schlossberg, Infections of Leisure features 19 chapters focused on the infection risks associated with particular types of activities, including camping, playing sports, interacting with animals, receiving body modifications, and mountain climbing. This new edition includes vibrant, full-color images, recommended readings chosen by expert authors, and practical tips in each chapter. Useful for health care professionals, microbiologists, and infectious diseases specialists, the information in Infections of Leisure will support confident identification of leisure-associated infections and enable informed choices, as well as provide an understanding of the risks posed to human health by hobbies, exotic foods and travel.
