HIV
"The treatment goal of antiretroviral therapy is to achieve and maintain an undetectable viral load. Patients on antiretroviral therapy who do not achieve this goal can develop drug resistance to one or more drugs in the regimen. Poor medication adherence is the most likely reason for virologic failure and the development of drug resistance. Development of new drugs and clinical availability of HIV resistance tests has given providers more options for treatment experienced patients with extensive drug resistance. Evaluating patients with extensive drug resistance requires knowledge of previous antiretroviral drug regimens, previous drug resistance tests, and interpretation of those test. Managing treatment experienced patients can be complex and may require consultation with an HIV expert"--

Overcoming Antimicrobial Resistance of the Skin
This book is a thorough, practical review of the challenges facing clinicians treating skin microbes and how to combat these therapeutic dilemmas.

Six-Legged Soldiers
The emir of Bukhara used assassin bugs to eat away the flesh of his prisoners. General Ishii Shiro during World War II released hundreds of millions of infected insects across China, ultimately causing more deaths than the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. These are just two of many startling examples found in Six-legged Soldiers, a brilliant portrait of the many weirdly creative, truly frightening, and ultimately powerful ways in which insects have been used as weapons of war, terror, and torture. Beginning in prehistoric times and building toward a near and disturbing future, the reader is taken on a journey of innovation and depravity. Award-winning science writer Jeffrey A.

Poverty and Neglected Tropical Diseases in the American Rural South
In Poverty and Neglected Tropical Diseases in the American Rural South, Christine Crudo Blackburn and Macey T. Lively study regions of the United States rarely acknowledged by the average American. These are regions of extreme poverty in the rural American South where a mixture of historical discrimination, structural discrimination, lack of opportunities, and decaying infrastructure conspire to create an environment conducive to chronic, debilitating diseases known as Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). Blackburn and Lively explore the conditions that allow NTDs to thrive in a wealthy nation like the United States when such diseases are typically associated with the poorest communities in Africa, Asia, and South America. Poverty and Neglected Tropical Diseases pulls back the curtain on the reality of poverty and disease in America and tell the story of failing sanitation infrastructure, the lack of clean water, the inability to access healthcare, and the lack of financial security through the eyes of those living it every day.
