Free Download Biology of Infectious Disease: From Molecules to Ecosystems
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031389409 | 315 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 144 MB
This textbook provides a broad introduction to the biological processes underlying infectious diseases in a range of hosts and pathogens. The text covers topics at all levels of biological organization, from the molecular and cellular level, organismal level, and population and ecosystem level, and goes well beyond infectious diseases of humans. The details of how microbes interact with their hosts are unique for each interaction, but emphasis is on the common principles of host-pathogen interactions that result in disease.

Free Download The Germ Theory of Disease (Great Discoveries in Science) by Kristin Thiel
English | July 30, 2017 | ISBN: 1502627744 | 137 pages | PDF | 10 Mb
From ancient times until the early nineteenth century, many medical practitioners believed that the body contained four humors: blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm. Humoral doctrine stated that balancing these humors was the key to health. Then in the mid-1800s, Louis Pasteur, Joseph Lister, and Robert Koch shattered these misconceptions and established our modern understanding of germs. These scientists were pioneers, and their legacy is medical practice rooted in scientific evidence. This book looks at how Pasteur’s contributions were based upon innovations like the microscope, how Lister’s and Koch’s theories built upon Pasteur’s discoveries, and how germ theory continues to evolve today in the era of superbugs.

Free Download Hansen’s Disease: A Complete Clinical Guide
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031308921 | 323 Pages | PDF (True) | 19 MB
Hansen’s disease (leprosy) is endemic in more than 100 countries worldwide, with over 200,000 new diagnoses each year and more than 4 million people living with some form of HD-related impairment. The World Health Organization’s ‘Global Leprosy Strategy’ timeline for Hansen’s disease elimination indicates that it will be encountered in clinical practice in endemic countries for at least another decade. Increasing north-to-south migration, global travel and overseas medical work mean that physicians in non-endemic countries will also encounter patients with Hansen’s disease, which can affect people for many years before diagnosis and after treatment. For busy clinicians, it represents a challenge, in terms of disease learning and updating knowledge and skills.

Free Download Food Allergies (Biographies of Disease) by Alice C. Richer
English | April 30, 2009 | ISBN: 0274979500 | 204 pages | PDF | 1.86 Mb
Most people take eating for granted – but for some, eating can be downright dangerous. Thirty thousand Americans are hospitalized each year due to an allergic food reaction and peanut allergies in American children doubled from 1997 to 2002. Between two and ten percent of children are affected by food allergies worldwide and adverse food reactions increased hospital admissions by five hundred percent in the United Kingdom during the past two decades. Asthma cases, a reliable indicator of food allergy susceptibility, increased one hundred percent during the last thirty years. While most people assume they have a food allergy, only a very small percentage of cases are a true food allergy. For reasons still unknown, the human immune system reacts abnormally to certain foods. However, medical disorders, increased globalization of the food supply, and an upsurge of processed and convenience foods that contain food additives may also cause adverse food reactions as well. Accurate diagnosis can be extremely tricky and many sufferers never learn what causes their symptoms.

Free Download Deciphering Drug Targets for Alzheimer’s Disease
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9819926564 | 678 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 44 MB
This book explains the fundamental characteristics and biofunctionality of Alzheimer’s Disease drug targets and provides up-to-date information on the full range of their biomedical applications. An introductory section gives an overview of the recent developments related to drug targets identified and studied related to Alzheimer’s Disease and key developments from preclinical and clinical studies focusing on various molecular targets related to AD and dementia by subject experts all around the globe. Here, individual chapters address the progress and perspectives in human and non-human research, role of various biomarkers as an overview, advanced gene therapy, and novel compounds for therapeutic targets for Alzheimer’s disease. The book will be essential reading for graduate students, scientists, and engineers in any of the biomedical research fields in which efforts are being made to utilize novel drug targets and develop effective strategies for new drug targeting and delivery in Alzheimer’s disease treatment.

A Comprehensive Guide to Living Well with Diabetess, Hypertension Lung and Heart Conditions

Free Download R. Kenneth Horst, "Westcott’s Plant Disease Handbook"
English | 2013 | pages: 822 | ISBN: 9400721404 | PDF | 11,7 mb
Westcott’s Plant Disease is a reference book on diseases which attack plants. Diseases of plants are found on most all plants including trees, shrubs, grasses, forage, fruits, vegetables, garden and greenhouse plants as well as native wild flowers and even weeds. Plant Disease Handbook identifies various types of diseases which are known to invade these plants located throughout North and South America. The recordings include diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses, viroids and nematodes. Causal disease agents are described and illustrated in many cases and diseases and disease control measures are also discussed. A book such as this is never finished since new reports of diseases are continuously reported. This includes new diseases and previously known diseases which occur on both presently recorded plants and on new plants found to be susceptible to diseases. Westcott’s Plant Disease provides a reference and guide for identification and control of these plant disease problems.
