Product Description
Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the most common intrauterine transmitted viral infection, with a tremendous impact on fetuses and newborns. In this book the history of this disease, its pathophysiological background, epidemiology and symptoms, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, will be discussed. Since economic aspects are gaining more and more importance in health politics, one chapter is dedicated to this issue in the context of congenital CMV infection. The content is based on the latest scientific findings and written in an understandable manner, allowing persons not working in the field of congenital CMV to also profit from it. Thus, this book is of interest for medical doctors, nurses, midwives, economists, but also for men and women who want to inform themselves about this topic. ... Read more

Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Le paludisme (du latin , « marais »), aussi appelé malaria (de l'italien , « mauvais air »), est une maladie infectieuse due à un parasite du genre Plasmodium, propagée par la piqûre de certaines espèces de moustiques anophèles. Avec plusieurs centaines de millions de personnes malades chaque année et entre un et trois millions de décès par an, le paludisme demeure la parasitose la plus importante et concerne majoritairement les enfants de moins de cinq ans et les femmes enceintes. 80 % des cas sont enregistrés en Afrique subsaharienne (cf. section détaillée : « Épidémiologie »). Le parasite du paludisme est transmis lors de la piqûre par une femelle moustique du genre Anopheles, elle-même contaminée après avoir piqué un animal homéotherme impaludé. Le parasite infecte les cellules hépatiques de la victime puis circule dans le sang, en colonisant les hématies et en les détruisant. Cinq espèces de Plasmodium sont impliquées en pathologie humaine. La forme la plus grave du paludisme est causée par Plasmodium falciparum, responsable d'une grande majorité des décès. Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae et Plasmodium knowlesi provoquent des formes de paludisme « bénignes » qui ne sont généralement pas mortelles (cf. section détaillée : « Causes »). La cause de la maladie a été découverte le 6 novembre 1880 à l'hôpital militaire de Constantine (Algérie) par un médecin de l'armée française, Alphonse Laveran, qui reçut le prix Nobel de physiologie ou médecine en 1907. C'est en 1897 que le médecin anglais Ronald Ross (prix No...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

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 "Cytomegalovirus," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Cytomegalovirus in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Cytomegalovirus 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 Cytomegalovirus, 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: Herpes zoster (or simply zoster), commonly known as shingles and also known as zona, is a viral disease characterized by a painful skin rash with blisters in a limited area on one side of the body, often in a stripe. The initial infection with varicella zoster virus (VZV) causes the acute (short-lived) illness chickenpox which generally occurs in children and young people. Once an episode of chickenpox has resolved, the virus is not eliminated from the body but can go on to cause shinglesan illness with very different symptomsoften many years after the initial infection. Varicella zoster virus can become latent in the nerve cell bodies and less frequently in non-neuronal satellite cells of dorsal root, cranial nerve or autonomic ganglion, without causing a...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=443800 ...
