This demonstration of the safety and efficacy of vaccination led to its much wider adoption.

Описание:
Ten years after the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS- CoV), which caused the first large-scale epidemic of the 21st century, a novel human coronavirus becomes identified, posing another threat to global public health.
These viruses were originally transmitted from animals to people. SARS, for instance, was transmitted from civet cats to humans while MERS moved to humans from a type of camel.
Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.
The name coronavirus comes from the Latin word corona, meaning crown or halo. Under an electron microscope, the virus looks like it is surrounded by a solar corona.
The novel coronavirus, identified by Chinese authorities on January 7 and since named SARS-CoV-2, is a new strain that had not been previously identified in humans. Little is known about it, although human-to-human transmission has been confirmed.
This book summarizes the literature that is currently available on MERS-CoV, the history, the socio-economic consequences and the ways to combat its spread and prevent another pandemic.
Описание: Twentieth-century circumpolar epidemics shaped historical interpretations of disease in European imperialism in the Americas and beyond. In this revisionist history of epidemic disease as experienced by northern peoples, Liza Piper illuminates the ecological, spatial, and colonial relationships that allowed diseases – influenza, measles, and tuberculosis in particular – to flourish between 1860 and 1940 along the Mackenzie and Yukon rivers. Making detailed use of Indigenous oral histories alongside English and French language archives and emphasising environmental alongside social and cultural factors, When Disease Came to this Country shows how colonial ideas about northern Indigenous immunity to disease were rooted in the racialized structures of colonialism that transformed northern Indigenous lives and lands, and shaped mid-twentieth century biomedical research.
Описание: During World War I, Dr. Mary M. Crawford spent nearly a year volunteering at the American Ambulance Hospital in France. Among the first American physicians to join the Allied war effort in 1914, she was the only woman doctor on the hospital staff.
Her diary and letters, presented here with historical context, narrate day-to-day life in a hospital on the Western Front, with clinical descriptions of the human toll at the battles of Ypres and Champagne. Torn between devotion to family and her commitment to the war effort, Crawford reveals her dedication to her patients, many of whom were French colonial soldiers.

Описание: The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound and persistent impact – a tragic loss of life, changes to established patterns of life and social inequalities laid bare. It brought out the good in many and the worst in others, and raised questions around what is truly important in our lives. In this book, academics, activists and artists come together to remember, and to reflect on, the pandemic. What lessons should we learn? How can things be different when this is over? Sensitive to inequalities of gender, race and class, the book highlights the experience of marginalised and minority groups, and the unjust and uneven spread of violence, deprivation and death. It combines academic analysis with personal testimonies, poetry and images from contributors including Sue Black, Led By Donkeys, Lara-Rose Iredale, Michael Rosen and Gary Younge. This truly inclusive commemorative overview honours the experience of a global disaster lived up close, and suggests the steps needed to ensure we do better next time.

Описание: I introduced the concept of "Dont Eat Your Vomit" in my first book, Prayers of My Mother. Since the books completion in 2017, I have been overwhelmed and humbled by the emotional, heartfelt, and sincere impact Prayers of My Mother has had on the lives of others. Mostly, I continuously received questions about "Dont Eat Your Vomit." Dont Eat Your Vomit! is the precursor to Prayers of My Mother. As I began writing this book, I saw how my journey lead directly to Prayers of My Mother. My path began with my mother, who was a prayer warrior. It was her prayers and healing ministry that catapulted me on this journey. But it was my trials and tribulations in the 80s and 90s that clarified my journey. During the 80s, I entered adulthood. I went to college and earned an associate degree. I landed my first job, married my high school sweetheart, gave birth to my one and only child, and divorced - all in four years. Before I divorced, I talked with my mother and expressed my disappointment regarding the state of my marriage, even changing my mind. She told me, "You know, you dont eat your vomit." Although I understood, it was not until years later that I recognized my vomit alluded to so much more; certain people, unhealthy relationships, and patterns of destructive behaviors. Since then, I have returned to my vomit by remaining in a particular relationship - whether professional or personal to simply maintain my livelihood or fulfill a perceived desire or thirst. I have also danced around, purposely toyed with, and even bathed in it - believing these actions would satisfy some desire or quench my thirst. Even when dissatisfied or my thirst was unquenched, I embraced my vomit, yielding to the emotional rollercoaster and believing the outcome would change, only to be very disappointed in the end. It is my desire that "Dont Eat Your Vomit!" helps you recognize or identify specific people, unhealthy relationships, and patterns of destructive behaviors in your life and teach how to deflect or cope with the consequences of returning to those same people, relationships, or patterns of destructive behaviors. We all do this (eat our vomit) during our lifetime. Too many times, it is simply about perception. Some people learn after the first time, others continue their destructive cycle in hopes of changing the outcome. Rarely will they be successful. In this book, I recount events in my adult life as I endured physical and emotional abuse while managing a successful, but challenging career. By allowing you to live vicariously through the choices I made and the corresponding mistakes, I pray it will assist you with recognizing and understanding your relationship and career vomit. Understanding is the key to preparing yourself to either purge or manage your vomit. Only then can you survive and thrive.
