Product Description
This book has been created for patients who have decided to make education and research an integral part of the treatment process. Although it also gives information useful to doctors, caregivers and other health professionals, it tells patients where and how to look for information covering virtually all topics related to botulism (also bacterial food poisoning; Kerner's disease; Sausage poisoning), from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research.

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Botulism," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Botulism in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Botulism when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Botulism, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Excerpt: Cholera is a severe bacterial infection caused by the bacteria Vibrio cholerae, which primarily affects the small intestine and the main symptoms include production of profuse watery diarrhea and vomiting. Transmission is primarily by the acquisition of the pathogen through contaminated drinking water or infected food. The severity of the diarrhea and associated vomiting can lead to rapid dehydration (hypohydration) and electrolyte loss. If these are not replaced then death may follow. Aside from continuing to be a major cause of death in the world, study of cholera has been used as an example of early epidemiology. Study of the V. cholerae bacterium has also shed light on many of the mechanisms used by bacteria to infect and survive in their hosts. The primary symptom of cholera is profuse diarrhea,severe dehydration and abdominal pain. Cholera may also cause vomiting. These symptoms start suddenly, usually one to five days after infection, and are the result of a toxin produced by the vibrio cholerae b...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=7591 ... Read more

Excerpt: 248-260 °C (hydrochloride salt) Thiamine or thiamin or vitamin B1 (pronounced "THIGH-a-min"), and named as the "thio-vitamine" ("sulfur-containing vitamin") is a water-soluble vitamin of the B complex. First named aneurin for the detrimental neurological effects of its lack in the diet, it was eventually assigned the generic descriptor name vitamin B1. Its phosphate derivatives are involved in many cellular processes. The best characterized form is thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), a coenzyme in the catabolism of sugars and amino acids. In yeast, ThDP is also required in the first step of alcoholic fermentation. All living organisms use thiamine in their biochemistry, but it is synthesized in bacteria, fungi and plants. Animals must obtain it from their diet, and thus for them it is a vitamin. Insufficient intake in birds produces a characteristic polyneuritis, and in mammals results in a disease ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=30500 ... Read more
