Uno de los propósitos de estos ensayos sobre la peste es entendernos mejor: la vivencia de las epidemias y pandemias acompañó a la humanidad desde siempre; conocer su expresión en la literatura y las artes sirve para tener una imagen más acabada de nosotros mismos. El recorrido por la historia de las epidemias y pandemias en la literatura y las artes -desde la Ilíada hasta las películas de muertos vivos- que Carlos Gamerro propone en este libro interpela persistente nuestros tiempo y experiencia contemporáneos.

To place the story of tuberculosis in Arkansas in historical perspective, the authors trace the origins of the disease. Arkansas suffered some of the worst ravages of the disease, and the authors argue that many of the improvements in the state's medical infrastructure grew out of the desperate need to control it.

COVID-19, monkeypox, bird flu, SARS, HIV, AIDS, Ebola; we are living in the Age of Pandemics – one that we have created. As the climate crisis reaches a fever pitch and ecological destruction continues unabated, we are just beginning to reckon with the effects of environmental collapse on our global health. Fevered Planet exposes how the way we farm, what we eat, the places we travel to and the scientific experiments we conduct create the perfect conditions for deadly new diseases to emerge and spread faster and further than ever.

Le pandemie sono grandi eventi trasformazionali. Si abbattono su sistemi che si credono consolidati, aprendo crepe e facendo tremare tutto. Destabilizzano, insomma. Suscitano un sentimento ambivalente: paura e incertezza da una parte, ma anche meraviglia, perché all'interno delle loro pieghe ci sono enormi opportunità. Di comprensione del mondo, di aggiornamento del nostro modo di relazionarci a esso.

Mankind across the world has been imprisoned. They called it lockdown. We have been terrified into submission. Words like ‘pandemic’ and images of horror have been thrust upon us. It is all a scam. A lie. It is part of a long-term plot to control, manipulate and enslave mankind. A divided world has been brought together under a common threat and it is just the beginning. There are massive, global revolutions being created and fostered by a powerful, dark and sinister group that have directed the sheep for countless generations.

With the devastating effects of Covid-19 still rattling the foundations of our global civilization, we live in unprecedented times – or so we might think. But pandemics have been a constant presence throughout human history, as humans and disease live side by side. Over the centuries, our ability to react to these sweeping killers has evolved, most notably through the development of vaccines.

Our national leaders have drifted into treating the pandemic as though it were an unavoidable natural catastrophe, repeating a depressing cycle of panic followed by neglect. So a remarkable group of practitioners and scholars from many backgrounds came together determined to discover and learn lessons from this latest world war. Lessons from the COVID War is plain-spoken and clear sighted. It cuts through the enormous jumble of information to make some sense of it all and answer: What just happened to us, and why? And how, next time, could we do better? Because there will be a next time.

Este libro te permitirá conocer la lepra desde la conciencia de un ser humano, como tu, que antes de nacer, dentro del vientre de su madre diagnosticada con esta enfermedad, ya transitaba libre de contagio.

In January 2020, Donald Trump was on the fast track to an easy re-election. While his first two years had been stymied by House Speaker Paul Ryan, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and the Democrats, his third year had been one of remarkable success. The United States had low unemployment and was making strides across the globe. The president's rallies were well-attended, and he was being projected to win four hundred electoral votes and about forty-five states. Then came COVID-19.

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.

Paul Farmer has battled AIDS in rural Haiti and deadly strains of drug-resistant tuberculosis in the slums of Peru. A physician-anthropologist with more than fifteen years in the field, Farmer writes from the front lines of the war against these modern plagues and shows why, even more than those of history, they target the poor.

En diciembre de 2019 la noticia de una neumonía desconocida que asolaba a la ciudad china de Wuhan parecía un relato de ciencia ficción.

Neueste Erkenntnisse aus der Forschung: Wie das Corona-Virus unser Gehirn schädigt und wie man das Risiko für Long-Covid minimieren kann. Erschöpfung, Gehirnnebel, Konzentrationsprobleme: Etwa zehn Prozent aller Corona-Patienten beklagen diese und ähnliche Langzeitfolgen noch Monate nach der Infektion, selbst nach einem milden Krankheitsverlauf – auch wenn die Betroffenen zuvor jung, gesund und leistungsstark waren.

Sebbene la principale preoccupazione relativa al COVID-19 riguardasse le sue conseguenze, soprattutto in termini di problemi respiratori, i progressi nella conoscenza di questa malattia hanno permesso di capire come i suoi effetti si estendono oltre i polmoni, e possono raggiungere ed influenzare il sistema nervoso.

Taking Immunizations Safely is an absolute necessity if you want to keep both you and your family healthy. The body responds to all bacteria and viruses the exact same way, so we need to understand how vaccines and booster shots work if we are going to benefit from them. Immunizations are a weakened form of a pathogen meant to prepare the body for exposure. However, they won't increase protection if the body's immune system is not supported with the right nutrition. Proper nutrition will allow vaccinations to be taken safely so they can do the job that they are designed to do.
