Natural Resistance to and Host-Directed Prevention of Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis remains an important bacterial disease responsible for more than one million deaths per year. The risk of overt disease is highest in the first year post infection, nevertheless, asymptomatic chronic infection (referred to as Latent Tuberculosis Infection, LTBI) may also be established. LTBI cannot be ascertained directly, it can only be inferred from a skin or blood test of immune sensitization. Nevertheless, it is often stated that one third of the world’s population has LTBI. The central tenet of Tuberculosis control has therefore been antibiotic treatment of overt disease and the selective less intensive antibiotic treatment of patients considered at risk of progression of...
Tuberculosis and the Tubercle Bacillus
Can today's innovative practices and molecular tools tame this ancient disease? One third of the world's population is infected with tuberculosis (TB), with about 10 million new cases annually. To combat TB and its agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the World Health Organization launched The End TB Strategy, which aims to slash the suffering and cost of TB by 2035. This makes the second edition of Tuberculosis and the Tubercle Bacillus, edited by Jacobs, McShane, Mizrahi, and Orme, an extremely valuable resource for scientists and clinicians. The editors have gathered their colleagues from around the world to present the latest on the molecular biology of M. tuberculosis and related species,...
Global Tuberculosis Report 2017
WHO's Global Tuberculosis Report provides a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the TB epidemic and of progress in care and prevention at global, regional and country levels. This is done in the context of recommended global TB strategies and associated targets, and broader development goals. For the period 2016-2035, these are WHO's End TB Strategy and the United Nations' (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which share a common aim: to end the global TB epidemic. The main data sources for the report are annual rounds of global TB data collection implemented by WHO's Global TB Program since 1995 and databases maintained by other WHO departments, UNAIDS and the World Bank. In WHO's 2017 round of global TB data collection, 201 countries and territories that account for over 99% of the world's population and TB cases reported data.
Der Traum von Heilung
Noch vor 100 Jahren war Tuberkulose die häufigste krankheitsbedingte Todesursache. Damals hatte sich die Auffassung durchgesetzt, dass die Behandlung im Höhenklima die Lungentuberkulose heilt. Die Schweiz und insbesondere der Kanton Graubünden boten günstige Voraussetzungen, um gesamteuropäisch zum "Sanatorium" für Lungenkranke zu werden - gerade weil das Bild der Schweizer Alpen in der Gesellschaft überaus positiv war. Ausgehend von Thomas Manns "Zauberberg" zeichnet Christian Schürer nach, wie der Glaube an die heilsame Wirkung der Alpenluft hoch gelegene Orte in der Schweiz zu weltberühmten Kurorten machte und wie sich die Suche nach dem Heilfaktor für die angenommene therapeutische Wirkung des Höhenklimas gestaltete. Das Buch beschreibt die Höhenkur als lukratives Betätigungsfeld und zeigt, warum diese Erfolgsgeschichte keineswegs zwingend war.
The Effects of Race
The STIAS research theme on Being Human Today explores the interrelated questions: What does it mean to be human? And: What is the nature of the world in which we aspire to be human? In the context of post-apartheid South Africa race and racism remain key references in both these questions. Why is this so, considering that the biological basis of race thinking has been refuted? Templates of race and racialism remain at the core of state policy in South Africa, periodic gross incidents of racism surface in public, and notions of the existence of races remain central to everyday thinking and discourse. This book is the result of the work of a group of leading thinkers and their in-depth conversations at STIAS during the winter of 2015 on the effects of race. Convened by evolutionary anthropologist Nina Jablonski and sociologist Gerhard Mar‚, the group included Njabulo Ndebele, Chabani Manganyi, Barney Pityana, Crain Soudien, G”ran Therborn, Mikael Hjerm, Zimitri Erasmus and George Chaplin. The group reconvened annually through 2017. This is the first in a series of planned publications on the their work.
