Summary

Fighting Resistant Bacteria addresses the urgent global challenge of antibiotic resistance, where common infections are becoming increasingly difficult to treat. The book explores the scientific basis of resistance, global efforts to control its spread, and innovative therapeutic approaches.

 
Did you know that the overuse of antibiotics in human medicine and agriculture significantly contributes to this problem, accelerating the evolution of resistant bacteria through mechanisms like horizontal gene transfer? This book emphasizes a multi-pronged, globally coordinated approach involving surveillance, stewardship, and infection prevention.

 
The book is structured into three parts: understanding the science of resistance, examining intervention strategies, and exploring novel solutions. It details global action plans from organizations like the WHO and CDC.

 
What makes this book unique is its integrated perspective, combining the scientific underpinnings of resistance with practical intervention strategies and forward-looking solutions, bridging bacteriology, public health, and policy. With its clear and accessible style, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding and combating this critical public health threat.

Pathology - The Study of Disease...

Mike Crawford

Pathology is the foundation of medical science, providing crucial insights into the mechanisms of disease, their effects on the body, and potential treatment strategies. It is a field that bridges basic science with clinical practice, helping medical professionals diagnose, prevent, and treat illnesses. Understanding pathology is essential for anyone studying medicine, biology, or healthcare, as it explains how normal biological processes are disrupted by disease.  
  
At its core, pathology examines the structural and functional changes in cells, tissues, and organs due to disease. These changes can be caused by a wide range of factors, including genetic mutations, infections, environmental influences, and lifestyle choices. By studying these alterations, pathologists can determine the underlying cause of illness and help guide treatment decisions. From the cellular level to entire organ systems, pathology provides a comprehensive approach to understanding human health.  
  
One of the key concepts in pathology is the body’s response to injury. Cells and tissues have remarkable mechanisms for adapting to stress, but when the damage exceeds their ability to repair, disease occurs. Cellular responses to injury can range from simple adaptations, such as an increase in cell size, to irreversible damage leading to cell death. The study of these responses is crucial in understanding conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and neurodegenerative disorders.

Systemic - How Racism Is Making...

Layal Liverpool

Layal Liverpool spent years bouncing from doctor to doctor, each one failing to diagnose her dermatological complaint. Just when she'd grown used to the idea that she had an extremely rare and untreatable skin condition, one dermatologist, after a quick exam, told her that she had a classic (and common) case of eczema and explained that it often appears differently on darker skin. Her experience stuck with her, making her wonder whether other medical conditions might be going undiagnosed in darker-skinned people and whether racism could, in fact, make people sick. 
 
 
 
The pandemic taught us that diseases like Covid disproportionately affect people of color. Here, Liverpool goes a step further to show that this disparity exists for all types of illness and that it is caused by racism. In Systemic, she shares her journey to show how racism, woven into our societies, as well as into the structures of medicine and science, is harmful to our health. Refuting the false belief that there are biological differences between races, she goes on to show that racism-related stress and trauma can however, lead to biological changes that make people of color more vulnerable to illness, debunking the myth of illness as the great equalizer. Liverpool reveals the fatal stereotypes that keep people of color undiagnosed, untreated, and unsafe, and tells us what we can do about it.
