Figure0. 1showsacamel with a solar-powered refrigerator on his back carrying vaccines across a hot desert to the far reaches of civilization. Many vaccines contain live viruses that need to be kept cold, or the vaccine viruses will die, and the vaccines will lose their ability to produce an immune response. Thus a continuous chain of refrigeration, the cold chain, from the origin to delivery of some vaccines needs to be maintained. The inspiration of the camel image is that it represents the dedication of the world to bring vaccines to...

Advances in Cancer Screening
ISBN: 9780792340195 / Angielski / Twarda / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Screening for cancer is an important focus of cancer control. Yet screening, as it involves administering a test to large segments of the population deemed to be at risk for the disease of interest, is potentially a major consumer of scarce health care resources. In addition, the benefits sought from cancer screening, particularly reduction in mortality from the disease, are not always realized, either for biological or organizational reasons. Thus, the paradigm that early detection must always be beneficial', taught to health care professionals, and publicized widely through the media to the...

Much health promotion planning has focused on top-down approaches, and while efforts to be participative are made, it is often without having a clear...

Emerging and Endemic Pathogens: Advances in Surveillance, Detection and Identification
ISBN: 9789048196364 / Angielski / Twarda / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is a truism among biologists that an organism's phenotype is the product of both its genotype and its environment. An organism's genotype contains the total informational potential of the individual, while its environment shapes the expression of the ge- type, influences the rate of mutation and occurrence of modifications, and ultimately determines the likelihood that the genotype (or fractions thereof) will survive into the next generation. In the relationship between host and pathogen, therefore, each forms a part of the environment of the other, mutually influencing the biology of both...
