  The riveting history of tuberculosis, the world' s most lethal disease, the two men whose lives it tragically intertwined, and the birth of medical science. In 1875, tuberculosis was the deadliest disease in the world, accountable for a third of all deaths. A diagnosis of TB-- often called consumption-- was a death sentence. Then, in triumph of medical science, a German doctor named Robert Koch deployed an unprecedented scientific rigor to discover the bacteria that caused TB. Koch soon embarked on a remedy-- a remedy that would be his undoing. When Koch announced his cure for consumption, Arthur Conan Doyle, then a small-town doctor in England and sometime writer, went to Berlin to cover the event. Touring the ward of reportedly cured patients, he was horrified. Koch' s " remedy" was either sloppy science or outright fraud. But to a world desperate for relief, Koch' s remedy wasn' t so easily dismissed. As Europe' s consumptives descended upon Berlin, Koch urgently tried to prove his case. Conan Doyle, meanwhile, returned to England determined to abandon medicine in favor of writing. In particular, he turned to a character inspired by the very scientific methods that Koch had formulated: Sherlock Holmes. Capturing the moment when mystery and magic began to yield to science, The Remedy chronicles the stunning story of how the germ theory of disease became a true fact, how two men of ambition were emboldened to reach for something more, and how scientific discoveries evolve into social truths.

  Look Smart, Listen Smart: A Listener’s Guide to Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time is a clear, confidence-building companion to one of the most famous — and most challenging — popular science books ever written. 
  Stephen Hawking’s classic asks some of the biggest questions imaginable: Did the universe have a beginning? What is time? Why do black holes matter? Can physics explain the whole of reality? This guide helps listeners understand the structure, ideas, and importance of Hawking’s book before committing to the full work. 
  Written for curious non-specialists, it explains relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes, the expanding universe, the arrow of time, wormholes, and the search for a unified theory in plain, intelligent language. It is not a substitute for Hawking’s original, but a serious orientation to it — showing what each chapter does, why the ideas matter, and whether the book is likely to suit you. 
  Ideal for audiobook listeners, students, science lovers, and thoughtful readers who want to approach difficult books with more confidence, Look Smart, Listen Smart helps you listen deeper, understand faster, and get more from a landmark work of modern science.

  The Cardiac Fulcrum - The...

  A crucial point of this research was the discovery of a myocardial support that we have termed cardiac fulcrum. The heart cannot be anatomically suspended and free in the thoracic cavity because it would be impossible to eject blood at a speed of 200 cm/s. Consequently, it was necessary for it to have a point of attachment, which was identified and called cardiac fulcrum (lever supporting point). In this supporting point, the muscle fibers are inserted in its structure of connective, chondroid or osseous nature, according to the specimens analyzed. All the hearts (bovine, porcine and human) studied in our investigations with anatomical and histological techniques certified this binding. The fibers that give origin to the myocardium, as well as those at its end, are attached to the fulcrum, leaving the rest of the muscular structure free in the mediastinum. Moreover, the cardiac fulcrum is seen in human adult and gestational ultrasounds, in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
