Beschreibung

Mask Effectiveness offers a comprehensive exploration into the science behind face masks and their role in mitigating the spread of respiratory viruses, a critical topic in infectious diseases and public health. The book emphasizes that mask effectiveness hinges on understanding mask types, materials, and proper fit. For example, even a small gap drastically reduces filtration efficiency, underscoring why fit is as important as the mask material itself. The book progresses logically, starting with the historical context of mask technology and moving into the science of aerosols and droplets, before delving into specific mask types like cloth masks, surgical masks, and N95 respirators. Each mask type is examined in detail, focusing on filtration efficiency, breathability, and cost-effectiveness, all supported by data from laboratory studies and real-world observations. Furthermore, data suggests that prolonged mask-wearing, washing, and storage impact mask performance, a factor often overlooked in public health guidelines. This book uniquely integrates research from virology, materials science, and public health to provide an evidence-based assessment of mask effectiveness.

    The acclaimed Pulitzer Prize finalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Galileo’s Daughter crafts a luminous chronicle of the most famous woman in the history of science, and the untold story of the remarkable young women trained in her laboratory 
     
    “Even now, nearly a century after her death, Marie Curie remains the only female scientist most people can name,” writes Dava Sobel at the opening of her shining portrait of the sole Nobel laureate decorated in two separate fields of science—Physics in 1903 with her husband, Pierre, and Chemistry by herself in 1911. And yet, as brilliant and creative as she was in the laboratory, Marie Curie was equally memorable outside it. Grieving Pierre’s untimely death in 1906, she took his place as professor of physics at the Sorbonne, devotedly raised two brilliant daughters, drove a van she outfitted with X-ray equipment to the front lines of World War I, befriended Albert Einstein and other luminaries of twentieth-century physics, won support from two US presidents, and inspired generations of young women to pursue science as a way of life.  
     
    As Sobel did so masterfully in her portrait of Galileo through the prism of his daughter, she approaches Marie Curie from a unique angle, narrating her remarkable life of discovery and fame alongside the women who became her legacy—from France’s Marguerite Perey, who discovered the element francium, and Norway’s Ellen Gleditsch, to Mme. Curie’s elder daughter, Irène, winner of the 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. For decades the only woman in the room at international scientific gatherings that probed new theories about the interior of the atom, Marie Curie traveled far and wide, despite constant illness, to share the secrets of radioactivity, a term she coined. Her two triumphant tours of the United States won her admirers for her modesty even as she was mobbed at every stop; her daughters, in Ève’s later recollection, “discovered all at once what the retiring woman with whom they had always lived meant to the world.” 
     
    With the consummate skill that made bestsellers of Longitude and Galileo’s Daughter, and the appreciation for women in science at the heart of The Glass Universe, Dava Sobel has authored a radiant biography and a masterpiece of storytelling, illuminating the life and enduring influence of one of the most consequential figures of our time.

Clinician Success: Empowering clinicians and healthcare organizations to deliver world-class care in a manner that complements their practice. Technology Success: Demystifying the technology that underpins telehealth, emphasizing the importance of intuitive, reliable platforms. Financial Success: Providing a framework for clinicians, insurers, and patients to reap the financial benefits of telehealth adoption. Compliance Success: Navigating the legal landscape of telehealth, helping clinicians leverage healthcare laws and regulations to their advantage.  By following the actionable strategies outlined in this comprehensive book, healthcare providers can transition from merely adopting telehealth to thriving with it.  Telehealth holds the promise of shaping a healthcare future that is more accessible, convenient, affordable, and equitable than we've ever known. And this book is your ultimate roadmap to that future.
