Mark Gober dives into fundamental beliefs about health and disease. These beliefs are so fundamental, in fact, that most of us probably haven’t thought to question them. For example, do bacteria cause disease, or are they part of the body’s cleanup crew that appears at the scene of an underlying toxicity or injury? Do researchers follow the scientific method when they claim to isolate viruses and show that they cause disease in their hosts? In addition to exploring these essential questions, Gober goes a layer deeper by examining the nature of consciousness.

Commonsense Medicine is a must-listen for everyone seeking to improve their health, understand why we get sick, and survive the next pandemic. Included are the secrets of how he invented Xlear and the personal reasons that drove him to find solutions for his family. This is the new paradigm in medicine.

When COVID-19 began spreading rapidly, the world was taken by surprise. As the ensuing pandemic raged, we faced one constant—a lack of consistent, scientifically sound, and trusted information about dangers, risks, and mitigation strategies that the average person could understand and put into practice to keep themselves and their families safe. Now, the former Surgeon General of the United States—freed from the many constraints he worked under in public office—reveals critical lessons learned from both mistakes and successes overlooked during the pandemic.

El Covid-19 hizo estragos en todo el mundo y modificó, sin dudas, la conducta de muchas personas. Vigilancia policíaca sobre el uso de barbijos, pánico ante la ¿escasez? de papel higiénico, discusiones sobre el valor de la vida por la falta de respiradores, desarrollo de robots para realizar trabajo humano son algunos de los temas abordados por Renata Salecl para entender en qué medida las conductas humanas fueron trastocadas por la propagación mundial del coronavirus.

Discover a roadmap to coexisting with new respiratory diseases and their variants using reason, science, courage, and compassion. This approach acknowledges that eradicating these viruses may be challenging, but controlling them is possible. By utilizing existing tools, we can coexist with these viruses without disrupting society. In this book, Dr. Gandhi offers insights into the story, science, and politics of our journey so far, highlighting successes and challenges.

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to neglect our health and well-being, amidst our busy schedules and daily responsibilities. However, taking care of our physical and mental health is crucial for a long and fulfilling life. This book chapter highlights the importance of regular doctor visits, spending time outside, getting enough sleep, socializing, maintaining a healthy diet, exercising our bodies and brains, and drinking enough water. By implementing these practices into our daily routine, we can improve our overall health, prevent chronic diseases, and increase our longevity.

Infectious disease is a moving target: new diseases emerge every year, old diseases evolve into new forms, and ecological and socioeconomic upheavals change the transmission pathways that spread disease. But where does disease come from? How is it transmitted from one person to another? And why are some individuals more susceptible than others? In this Very Short Introduction, Marta Wayne and Benjamin Bolker address these questions through the lenses of ecology and evolution.

To paraphrase the great sci-fi writer Stephen King: Kill your darlings, kill your darlings, even when it breaks your heart, kill your darlings. Translation: stay on point and mercilessly avoid side stories and anecdotes. With much respect for Mr. King, The History of Man Series is precisely that, a great deal about all those little darlings, a style of writing termed “jumping off.”

Em História de uma vacina, a pediatra e especialista em doenças infecciosas, chefe do comitê científico da Fundação Bill e Melinda Gates, docente convidada de Oxford e criadora do primeiro mestrado em vacinologia do mundo, na Universidade de Siena, conta a trajetória do estudo brasileiro desde as conversas iniciais com a universidade britânica até a chegada dos primeiros lotes de vacina aplicados no país.

From Australia, Italy, Austria, and the US, a handful of medical scientists dared to think outside the accepted narrative. These outward-thinking individuals and small dedicated teams overcame the intense rivalry and competitiveness that so often stymies scientific progress. Over two decades, their collaborative work discovered that you can catch breast cancer, and that it can be indeed an infectious disease. These groundbreaking findings have laid the groundwork for the most important step of all–preventing breast cancer.

To the world's public health authorities, Covid-19 would either be a deadly disease for some, or it would be a simple respiratory illness for most—cleared up in a couple of weeks. But then tens of millions around the world got sick and stayed sick. With scientists and doctors caught off guard, these patients often found solace only in themselves, organizing support groups across continents while ill in bed. An innovative band of patients researched the disease themselves, flipping the script and illustrating a new paradigm for research.

En diciembre de 2019 la noticia de una neumonía desconocida que asolaba a la ciudad china de Wuhan parecía un relato de ciencia ficción. Algunos meses más tarde, las es-cenas apocalípticas de metrópolis desiertas, hospitales desbordados y millones de personas confinadas se repetían por todo el mundo: era el inicio de la pandemia del coronavirus.

Diferentemente de desastres naturais, cuja destruição está concentrada em uma área limitada por um período de dias, doenças infecciosas têm o terrível poder de destruir o cotidiano das pessoas em escala global, consumindo de forma avassaladora recursos públicos e privados e interrompendo o comércio e o transporte. No mundo de hoje, é muito fácil deslocar pessoas, animais e materiais pelo planeta, mas os mesmos avanços que tornaram as infraestruturas do mundo moderno tão eficientes também transformaram as epidemias e pandemias em situações praticamente inevitáveis.

Em 1918, um novo vírus de influenza, até então restrito às aves, passou a se manifestar também em humanos. Um ano mais tarde, o saldo era de pelo menos 100 mil mortos daquela que ficaria conhecida na história como gripe espanhola, marcando o primeiro grande embate entre a ciência e uma pandemia. Em apenas dois anos o vírus matou mais pessoas do que a Aids em todo o mundo ao longo dos 24 anos desde a sua descoberta, e mais pessoas em um ano do que a peste negra ao longo de um século.

"Что случилось со смелым пророчеством Пастера о том, что теперь человеку по силам заставить микробные болезни исчезнуть с лица Земли?" Поль де Крюи, автор "Охотников за микробами" С самого возникновения цивилизации человечество сосуществует с невидимыми и смертоносными врагами — вирусами. Оспа унесла больше жизней, чем все техногенные катастрофы и кровопролитнейшие войны XX века; желтая лихорадка не позволила Наполеону создать колониальную империю и едва не помешала строительству Панамского канала.

Award-winning New York Times reporter Donald G. McNeil, Jr. reflects on twenty-five years of covering pandemics—how governments react to them, how the media covers them, how they are exploited, and what we can do to prepare for the next one....

Having once aspired to be a journalist, Griggs found that the only way to make sense of what she was witnessing around her and maintain her sanity was to keep a diary. The Sky Was Falling is her day-to-day account of what most of us were grateful to only see in the news—the sharply increasing case numbers, the dwindling supply of respirators, the lack of clarity on how to treat this new disease.

Hundreds of researchers and clinicians have been making breakthroughs in understanding Lyme disease. I am sharing my understanding of these breakthroughs as a clinical epidemiologist and physician with more than 36 years of experience.

Overlæge og virusforsker Anders Fomsgaard fra Statens Serum Institut har skrevet en klog, skrækfascinerende og paradoksalt underholdende bog om de virus, vi må leve med som mennesker – fra influenza og herpes hele vejen til ebola. Det handler om de grove virus, der truer os med udbrud og globale pandemier. De utilpassede virus, der egentlig burde bedrive deres spil i dyr, men kan finde på at springe på os mennesker, hvis vi kommer i vejen. De klamme virus, der går efter børn og folk med tæt kontakt til andres kroppe.

2020 will go down alongside 1914, 1929, and 1968 as one of the most consequential years in history. This riveting and affecting book is the first attempt to capture the full human experience of that fateful time. At the heart of 2020 are seven vivid profiles of ordinary New Yorkers—including an elementary school principal, a bar manager, a subway custodian, and a local political aide—whose experiences illuminate how Americans, and people across the globe, reckoned with 2020.
