First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
Streptococci and enterococci are the etiologic agents of infectious diseases that rank among the most severe in human pathology. The diagnosis, antibiotherapy, and prevention of the streptococcal diseases have improved considerably. However, the reemergence of severe streptococcal and enterococcal diseases constitutes a growing public health con cern, which remains open to scientific and medical debate. The XIII'h Lancefield International Symposium on Streptococci and Streptococcal Diseases, held at Institut Pasteur, Paris, France, September 16---2el, 1996, attracted 505 par ticipants from 43 countries. Twenty-two percent of the participants were students, a clear sign of the intense interes...
The WHO 2022 report from the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) marks the end of the first 5 years of early implementation. The report summarizes 2020 data from 87 countries on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria that cause disease in humans, analyses the 2021 AMR rates in the context of the testing coverage of national surveillance, and provides data on antimicrobial consumption (AMC) in humans from 27 countries. For the first time, data are presented in an interactive digital format, with more comprehensive content on the WHO website.
In the pre-antibiotic era, the infections we currently see as relatively minor were sometimes deadly. This book discusses the rise (and sometimes fall) of “wonder drugs” designed to combat infections for which, at the time, there was no cure. However, history has shown us that, when antibiotics are overused, it can ultimately lead to either widespread discontinuation of the antibiotic or a drastic decrease in efficacy, leaving healthcare providers with few or no options for treatment. This book explores the discoveries of the major antibiotic drug classes, and highlights major bacterial strains which have become resistant and now represent difficult-to-treat infections. Barriers to new antibiotic development, as well as novel strategies for treating bacterial infections, are also explored.
Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy: Concepts and Applications explores the novel antimicrobial therapeutic technique. As the world searches for new, efficient modalities for fighting microorganisms, this book offers a complete understanding of the concept, and knowledge about the emerging technique ‘antimicrobial photodynamic therapy’ (aPDT) for the scientific communities and budding researchers. The book aligns concepts, significance, and applications of the technique systematically. Chapters in the book cover microorganisms, pathogenesis, conventional treatment methods, and significance of new treatment approaches to the concept of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy. The authors descri...
Diagnostyka laboratoryjna. Poradnik kliniczny to kompendium skierowane do lekarzy praktyków, w tym lekarzy medycyny rodzinnej, a także diagnostów laboratoryjnych wszystkich specjalności. Książka ta jest również doskonałym uzupełnieniem wiadomości z zakresu diagnostyki laboratoryjnej dla studentów analityki medycznej. Zawarto w niej nie tylko informacje o badaniach i testach laboratoryjnych, ale, co bardzo ważne, omówiono również elementy fazy przedanalitycznej, dotyczące tego, jak przygotować pacjenta do badania laboratoryjnego, jak pobrać krew i do jakiego rodzaju próbówek, w jakiej temperaturze i czasie należy próbkę transportować, aby materiał do badań dostarczyć do laboratorium. W podręczniku przedstawiono też fazę postanalityczną, w której dla różnych testów laboratoryjnych opisano przyczyny uzyskiwania wyników fałszywie dodatnich i ujemnych, a także wpływ czynników interferujących na fazę analityczną poszczególnych badan laboratoryjnych.
