Product Description
This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of official Federal government documents on the subject of viral hemorrhagic fevers, Ebola, Marburg Virus, and Lassa Fever. Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) are a group of illnesses caused by four families of viruses. These include the Ebola and Marburg viruses and Lassa fever virus. VHFs have common features: they affect many organs, they damage the blood vessels and they affect the body's ability to regulate itself. Some VHFs cause mild disease, but some, like Ebola or Marburg, cause severe disease and death.For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust. This thoroughly researched collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the relevant institute for this disease, and others.In addition to the comprehensive disease-specific coverage, this disc set also includes our Medical Encyclopedia, a $19.95 value! The Encyclopedia presents a collection of official documents about a wide range of medical topics, diseases, illnesses, health and wellness. There is vital information from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Cancer Institute, and more. Topics covered include: major diseases, including cancer, heart and vascular disease, stroke, blood diseases and disorders, lung diseases, and neurological disorders such as dementia and epilepsy * CDC Health Topics A to Z, Foodborne Illnesses, Infants and Children, Injuries, Occupational Health, Older Adults, Women * CDC Travelers' Health - Destinations, Vaccinations, Diseases, Mosquito, Tick, Food, Water, Clinics, Yellow Book, Children, Airplanes, Cruise Ships, Special Needs, Relief Workers, * Dietary Guidelines * NIH A to Z from abnormalities to X-rays.Since navigating the Internet to find additional non-governmental medical information can be confusing, we've also provided our exclusive "Guide to Leading Medical Websites" with updated links to 67 of the best sites for medical information!

Product Description
Ebola, kaum eine andere Krankheit ist mit sovielMystizitätbelegt wie diese haemorrhagische Viruserkrankung aus dem Herzen Afrikas. Was hat esmit der Übertragung, Ansteckbarkeit undSterblichkeit in Regionen wie Nord Uganda auf sich ?Regionen, in welchen zum einen typischeTropenkrankheiten wieMalaria hochendemisch sindund zum anderen häufig politische Unruhen undbürgerkriegsähnliche Zustände vorherrschen. In der dem Buch zugrundeliegenden wissenschaftlichenAbhandlung wird am Beispiel des Ebola Ausbruchs inGulu, Nord Uganda 2000/2001 gezeigt, wieInfektionskettenim Hinblick auf Kontaktpersonen zuwerten sind. Anhand von Antikörpermessungen in denverschiedenen Gruppen wird eine Korrelation zwischenInfektion und Kontakt deutlich gemacht.Dem "Barrier Nursing"- SpezifischeSchutzmassnahmen- wird besondere Aufmerksamkeit zuteil.Es ist zu wünschen, dass nach Kenntnis potentiellerInfektionsquellen (Übertragung durch Fruchtfledermäuse, Nature 2005)es im Lauf der nächsten Jahre zur vermehrtenAufklärung der ländlichen Bevölkerung unddamit zu einem deutlichen Rückgang erneuterInfektionen und Epidemien kommt. ...
