Stopping Tuberculosis in Central Asia: Priorities for Action
ISBN: 9780821362761 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Tuberculosis is still a significant health and economic problem in Central Asia, despite some recent progress that may be due to improvements of the overall economic situation in these countries, and partial adoption of the DOTS Strategy recommended by WHO. Over 50,000 new cases have been detected in 2003 and over 7,000 people died due to TB in the four countries studied. This study has confirmed that it is highly unlikely that these Central Asian republics will succeed in achieving the global targets for tuberculosis control in the short term, particularly with regard to case detection. In...

Rethinking AIDS Prevention: Learning from Successes in Developing Countries
ISBN: 9780865693166 / Angielski / Twarda / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is not another book about how AIDS is out of control in Africa and Third World nations, or one complaining about the inadequacy of secured funds to fight the pandemic. The author looks objectively at countries that have succeeded in reducing HIV infection rates...along with a worrisome flip side to the progress. The largely medical solutions funded by major donors have had little impact in Africa, the continent hardest hit by AIDS. Instead, relatively simple, low-cost behavioral change programs--stressing increased monogamy and delayed sexual activity for young people--have made the...

Retroviruses CD
ISBN: 9780879696504 / Angielski / Compact Disc Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For over 25 years the study of retroviruses has underpinned much of what is known about information transfer in cells and the genetic and biochemical mechanisms that underlie cell growth and cancer induction. Emergent diseases such as AIDS and adult T-cell lymphoma have widened even further the community of investigators directly concerned with retroviruses, a development that has highlighted the need for an integrated understanding of their biology and their unique association with host genomes. This remarkable volume satisfies that need. Written by a group of the field's most distinguished...

Infecting the Treatment: Being an Hiv-Positive Analyst
ISBN: 9780881633528 / Angielski / Miękka / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As HIV/AIDS has evolved from an acute crisis into a chronic, long-term problem, it remains what it has always been: a medical condition that is far more than a medical condition. As Gilbert Cole relates, we still struggle with the need to read HIV/AIDS as a moral text that links certain sexual practices and stigmatized identities with punishment, suffering and death. Thus, the revelation of being HIV positive remains a disclosure fraught with meaning.
