Global Burden and Challenges of Melioidosis
This book is the definitive reference regarding the global status of melioidosis in 2018. Melioidosis is one of the most neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), so much so that it is not even included in the WHO list of NTDs. Yet modeling suggests that it kills more people worldwide every year than diseases that are much better known, such as leptospirosis and dengue. The reasons for this under-recognition are numerous, including the fact that it mainly affects the disadvantaged rural poor in areas that are poorly supplied with the diagnostic capability to make the diagnosis. In 22 separate articles, expert authors from around the world have summarized what is known about the burden of the disea...

De dokter en het beeld
Radiologische beelden worden gemaakt bij nagenoeg elke patiënt die in contact komt met de hedendaagse zorg. De beelden zijn overal te bekijken, maar kun je er ook echt iets in zien? Heb je tijdens je studie geleerd te zien wat er (on)zichtbaar afwijkend is? Dat is het domein van de radioloog. De analogie met een rondwandeling door een willekeurig museum ligt voor de hand: je kan veel rondkijken, met een gids of een audiotour in de hand kun je daadwerkelijk meer zien. De dokter en het beeld geeft aan de hand van voorbeelden uit de praktijk inzicht in de rol van radiologische beeldvorming in de zorg. Veelvoorkomende ziektebeelden van de diverse deelgebieden binnen de radiologie worden beschouwd vanuit drie perspectieven: de verwijzer, de radioloog en de patiënt. Deze uniforme doch multidimensionale methodiek geeft de lezer op overzichtelijke wijze inzicht in de rol van beeldvorming in de zorg.

L'altra storia della Birmania
Indicata tra i luoghi più attrattivi del mondo nel 2013, a ridosso della liberazione di Aung San Suu Kyi, nel giro di pochi anni la Birmania è tornata a essere uno dei Paesi da evitare. Emersa da lunghi e oscuri decenni di dittatura, i progressi verso una democrazia sembravano inevitabili.

Thant Myint-U, con il suo tipico stile narrativo, racconta gli ultimi quindici anni di storia birmana ed elabora una diagnosi complessa di un Paese a un punto di rottura, esaminandone il sistema economico predatorio, le disu...
Living and Loving in the Age of AIDS
A poignant LGBTQ memoir of love and marriage, grief and resilience during the 1980s AIDS epidemic—as “inspirational and joyous as it is heartbreaking” (Bustle). Distinguished designer Derek Frost and his husband, J—creator of The Embassy Club, London’s answer to Studio 54, and Heaven, Europe’s largest gay discotheque—met and fell in love more than 40 years ago. Their lives were high-octane, full of adventure, fun and fearless creativity. Then suddenly AIDS arrived in their lives. When they got tested, J received what was then a death sentence: he was HIV Positive. While the onset of AIDS strengthened stigma and fear globally, they confronted their personal crisis with courage, ...
