Book Description
General pathology works nomothetically, whereas specific pathology works idiographically. Modern pathological anatomy on the other hand seeks to rise above the level of merely gathering data and to proceed to a practical knowledge of defined pathological aspects and patterns. jEAN MARTIN CHARCOT's con ception of the entite morbide as the abstract basis of nosologically independent phenomena is paradigmatically corroborated in an especially impressive way by the study of tropical diseases. And so the idea suggested itself that we should present the main pathological patterns from tht; fielq. of tropical pathology with particular reference to their interconnection. We s~on came to the firm con clusion that such a compilation could be success_iully ~undertaken only by a pathologist from the English-speaking world. The. classic practical knowledge of our British colleagues, which has matured in world-wide experience, would be bound to find its ideal verification here. And so we turned for help to our friend Prof. WALTER PAGEL (Dr. med., Dr. h. c. Basle, Dr. h. c. Heidelberg) in London. He immediately referred us to Prof. HERBERT SPENCER. That we managed to enlist the help of Professor SPENCER is entirely due to Professor PAGEL's kind offices. We owe the fact that the undertak ing has been completed in relatively so short a time to Professor SPENCER's exceptional knowledge both of his subject and of the field-workers themselves.

Book Description
The continuous and rapid improvement of tourism around the whole world and the increasing emigration of peoples from the developing countries to the "old continents" have changed the classical image of tropical diseases, which are now seen more frequently in temperate and highly developed countries. Consequently, over 10 years after its first publication, this second edition of the pathology of tropical diseases has been restructured and expanded to reflect the recent developments and changes in diagnostic techniques. A total of 27 chapters - written by 29 reputed experts from 11 countries - cover such new aspects as technological developments in diagnosing infectious diseases, autopsies in the tropics, renal diseases, geomedicine and genetic disorders. A concentrated and up-to-date review of the field.

Book Description
Due to increased travel in isolated regions, clinicians are more likely to encounter tropical diseases than ever before. This modern textbook comprehensively covers all tropical diseases. Written by an internationally renowned group of contributors, it covers the pathogens, syndromes, and organ systems. It is profusely illustrated, including life cycles for all significant organisms. Discusses the principles of parasite biology, epidemiology, and analyses diagnostic approaches to syndromes such as fever, rash, eosinophilia, and anaemia. Covers a full range of tropical diseases including those caused by bacterial, mycobacterial, spirochetal, chlamydial, parasitic, rickettsial and viral infections. Employs a consistent chapter organisation for each pathogen, beginning with the organism and its history, taxonomy and epidemiology, and progressing through its pathogenesis and immunology to diagnosis, treatment and prognosis, and prevention. Visually clarifies the interrelationships between parasites, humans, and the ecology with 30 detailed life-cycle drawings. Reviews all the latest developments on the immunology, pathogenesis, and genetics of virulence, as well as the newest molecular approaches to diagnosis and control. Includes maps detailing specific diseases indigenous to certain parts of the world, and an abundance of figures, algorithms, and tables. Enables further researching with over 14,000 references.

Book Description
This volume of the Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) series covers the most prevalent NTDs in North America. This book discusses in detail pathology, diagnostics and control approaches of selected NTDs in the sub-tropical regions of the United States of America. There are disproportionate numbers of children and adults living in poverty within the United States that are at risk of infections caused by helminths, protozoa, viruses and bacteria which commonly lead to chronic, debilitating and stigmatizing diseases. Each chapter focuses on one specific disease or series of related diseases, and provides in-depth insights into the topic.

Book Description
In an increasingly global community, the rapid adaptation of microorganisms has facilitated the return of old communicable diseases and the emergence of new ones. Tropical Dermatology, 2nd Edition, provides a practical, highly illustrated approach to the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of tropical skin diseases. In a concise and user-friendly format, it offers authoritative coverage of epidemiology, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, pathology, laboratory tests, management, and prevention for both common and rare conditions. Examines the full range of tropical skin diseases in an easy-to-reference format, with consistently organized, templated chapters. Structures clinical guidance by disease rather than by microbe or "bug." Covers the key issues for travelers, important considerations for people working in the tropics, and non-infectious conditions. Provides authoritative guidance for dermatologists, infectious disease specialists, and travel medicine physicians. Includes new chapters on Tungiasis, Ebola and Zika virus. Features updates on emerging diseases and new therapies throughout. Includes brand-new, "hard-to-find" clinical images, for a total of more than 650 full-color illustrations throughout. Integrates the knowledge and experience of new international contributors, including recognized experts in dermatology from the United States, Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia.

Book Description
"Picturing Tropical Nature reflects on the work of several nineteenth- and twentieth-century scientists and artists, including Alexander von Humboldt, Alfred Russel Wallace, Louis Agassiz, Sir Patrick Manson, and Margaret Mee. Their careers illuminate several aspects of tropicalization: science and art in the making of tropical pictures; the commercial and cultural boom in things tropical in the modern period; photographic attempts to represent tropical hybrid races; antitropicalism and its role in an emerging environmentalist sensibility; and visual depictions of disease in the new tropical medicine."--Jacket.

Book Description
This second volume describes a further wide variety of parasitic infections and other diseases,including benign and malignant tumors. Some are widespread, others re- stricted to specific geographical or climatic regions; almost all affect countless patients, some with generalized illnesses, others with limited involvement which may nonetheless be serious for the individual. The book contains numerous images at the important stages of the diseases, with photographs and histopathological sections to help understand the clinical progress, and often the response to treatment. These two volumes will be of great value to all who care for patients with tropical diseases, clinicians as well as radiologists.
