Summary

"Diphtheria Risk" addresses the ongoing threat posed by diphtheria, a vaccine-preventable infectious disease that could resurge due to declining vaccination rates and evolving bacterial strains. The book explores the multifaceted nature of this disease, examining its history, the biology of Corynebacterium diphtheriae, and prevention strategies. Readers will gain insights into how the bacteria produce a potent toxin impacting the respiratory system and heart, leading to severe complications like airway obstruction and myocarditis. Understanding the epidemiology of diphtheria, including its global distribution and factors contributing to outbreaks, is crucial for effective public health interventions.

 
The book's approach begins with a historical overview, tracing diphtheria's impact and vaccine development, then delves into the microbiology of the bacteria and the effects of the diphtheria toxin. Subsequent chapters focus on clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, treatment protocols, and vaccination strategies. A significant portion analyzes vaccination strategies, exploring vaccine types, efficacy, and delivery challenges.

 
The book emphasizes the need for sustained global efforts to improve vaccination coverage, enhance disease surveillance, and combat evolving strains, highlighting that complacency creates vulnerabilities for its resurgence. This book stands out by offering a comprehensive, up-to-date assessment of diphtheria, incorporating the latest scientific findings and public health recommendations. It provides valuable information for public health professionals, healthcare providers, and anyone interested in infectious diseases and global health security, helping them understand and address the challenges in controlling vaccine-preventable diseases.

    LibriVox volunteers bring you 18 recordings of There Was a Cherry-Tree by James Whitcomb Riley. This was the Weekly Poetry project for May 13, 2012.Riley began his career writing verses as a sign maker and submitting poetry to newspapers. Thanks in part to an endorsement from poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, he eventually earned successive jobs at Indiana newspaper publishers during the latter 1870s. Riley gradually rose in prominence during the 1880s through his poetry reading tours. He traveled a touring circuit first in the Midwest, and then nationally, holding shows and making joint appearances on stage with other famous talents. Regularly struggling with his alcohol addiction, Riley never married or had children, and was involved in a scandal in 1888 when he became too drunk to perform. He became more popular in spite of the bad press he received, and as a result extricated himself from poorly negotiated contracts that limited his earnings; he quickly became very wealthy.

    The Eye and I

    This book is a story book about the eye. After some 60 years in eye research and clinical work in ophthalmology there have been many instances, where I remember patients and their problems, a book I read or a place that I traveled. This book has 30 chapters and the only thing they have in common, other than all having the same writer is that all have something to do with the eye or eye associated structures such as the eye muscles.None of the chapters are meant to be clinical reports; all are stories and I have tried to keep the text understandable.Some chapters have pen drawings, but for a number I could not think of appropriate illustrations and they consist of just text. All are relatively short, easily read in an evening. Some feature bugs, blister beetles, fleas and lice or other microorganisms that might affect the eye or the tissues around it. Other chapters play away from the U.S., such as Saudi-Arabia, Grenada and Komodo Island.
