Summary

Whooping Cough offers a comprehensive exploration of pertussis, a highly contagious respiratory illness making a resurgence despite widespread vaccination efforts. The book addresses critical questions surrounding the protection of newborns and strategies to curb transmission among adults, who often unknowingly spread the disease. Pertussis, caused by Bordetella pertussis, poses a significant public health challenge, especially given the evolving dynamics of infectious diseases and waning immunity. Did you know that immunity from acellular vaccines may wane, contributing to outbreaks even in vaccinated populations, or that adults can be carriers without showing classic symptoms?

 
The book progresses from the history of pertussis and the development of vaccines to the clinical manifestations across different age groups, highlighting the severe complications in infants. It examines current diagnostic methods, the role of antibiotics, and prevention strategies. A unique aspect is its critical examination of recent outbreaks and evaluation of different vaccination schedules, drawing upon data from organizations like the CDC and WHO.

 
Ultimately, the book emphasizes that combating pertussis in the 21st century requires a multi-faceted approach involving robust vaccination, heightened awareness, and rapid diagnostics. The book uniquely connects infectious disease and public health with immunology, vaccinology, and health communication. This interdisciplinary approach is essential for understanding vaccine mechanisms, addressing vaccine hesitancy, and promoting informed decision-making. It provides practical guidance for healthcare professionals, public health officials, and concerned parents seeking reliable information, making it a valuable resource for improving vaccination rates and implementing effective control measures against this persistent infectious disease.

Identity Theft: Rediscovering...

PhD Debra E. Meyerson, Steve...

Identity Theft, Second Edition is an update to the award-winning book that follows Stanford professor Debra Meyerson’s journey to recover from a severe stroke that initially left her physically incapacitated and unable to speak. In addition to providing realistic expectations for the hard work needed to regain everyday capabilities, Meyerson and Zuckerman focus on the less frequently documented – but equally critical – emotional journey as she and her family rebuild identity in recovery. The second edition adds perspective from an additional five years of continued recovery and rebuilding their lives, including insights from the work of the nonprofit they co-founded – Stroke Onward. Virtually every stroke survivor is haunted by questions like “Who am I now?” and “How do I rebuild a meaningful and rewarding life?” after losing so much of what they had before—capabilities, careers and jobs, relationships, and more. The first edition centered on Debra’s experience: her stroke in 2010, her extraordinary efforts to recover, and her journey to redefine herself. But she also draws on her skills as a social scientist, sharing stories from several dozen fellow survivors, family members, friends, colleagues, therapists, and doctors she met and interviewed. By sharing this diversity of experiences, Debra highlighted how every stroke is different and every recovery is different. The new content in this second edition was written by Debra and her spouse, Steve Zuckerman. They co-founded the nonprofit Stroke Onward to build an organization that can catalyze change in the healthcare system to better integrate the emotional journey of rebuilding identity into a lifelong recovery process. They’ve added new insights about the long-term recovery process and how we can change the stroke system of care to better support all survivors and their families.
