With lessons learned from COVID-19, a world-leading expert on pandemic preparedness proposes a pragmatic plan urgently needed for the future of global health security. The COVID-19 pandemic revealed how unprepared the world was for such an event, as even the most sophisticated public health systems failed to cope. We must have far more investment and preparation, along with better detection, warning, and coordination within and across national boundaries. In an age of global pandemics, no country can achieve public health on its own. Health security planning is paramount. Lawrence O. Gostin has spent three decades designing resilient health systems and governance that take account of our int...

In January of 2015, under the 1st International Caparica Conference in Antibiotic Resistance, a Research Topic entitled: “Surveying Antimicrobial Resistance: Approaches, Issues, and Challenges to overcome”, was published (http://journal.frontiersin.org/researchtopic/3763/surveying-antimicrobial-resistanceapproaches- issues-and-challenges-to-overcome). The problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), caused by excessive and inappropriate use of antibiotics, is a public health issue that concerns us all. The introduction of penicillin in the 1940s, the start of the antibiotics era, has been recognized as one of the greatest advances in therapeutic medicine. However, according to the World He...

Where do Antibiotic-resistant superbugs come from and what can we do to combat them? This volume takes a look at the issue from all angles; the role of government, where lobbyists and drug companies fit in, and how the overuse of antibiotics and antibacterial products may contribute to the problem.
Malaria ist eine der weltweit häufigsten Erkrankungen - jährlich sterben über zwei Millionen Menschen an dieser Epidemie. Vor dem Hintergrund globaler Machtkonstellationen untersucht Caroline Meier zu Biesen die Einführung der chinesischen Heilpflanze Artemisia annua in Tansania, die als vielversprechende Alternative zu herkömmlichen Malariatherapien angesehen wird. Im Fokus der Untersuchung steht die Wandlung von der Heilpflanze in ein Arzneimittel, dessen Produktion und Distribution den Gesetzen des Weltmarkts unterliegt. Dabei zeigt sich, wie globale Marktmechanismen und Machthegemonien das Potenzial von Artemisia annua für die Betroffenen schwächen und bestehende Abhängigkeiten vom staatlichen Gesundheitswesen vertiefen können.
This book provides a comprehensive collection of the most up-to-date techniques for the detection and investigation of MRSA.
