COVID-19! Because What You Don’t Know Will Kill You
The COVID-19 pandemic has swept the world. This book is a sequel to my other paperback books that contain short stories about the involvement of the clinical laboratory in real medical cases. In this book, I have described in lay terms, the SARS-CoV-2 virus, how testing is conducted, how infected individuals are treated, and how infections can be avoided. As with my other books, I describe stories of cases, both real and hypothetical.
The Covid Survival Guide
This book might save your life or that of the loved ones around you.By early December 2020, as many as 10,000 people were being infected with the Covid virus, every hour of every day, in the US alone. Up to two people were dying every minute, and many of those who survive will suffer lasting damage to their heart, lungs, brain, and other organs. Vaccines, while tantalizingly close, are unlikely to be generally available for everyone until the second quarter of 2021.The virus is very real and very dangerous. But our public health authorities seem unable to coordinate between themselves and give us consistent messages on what we should and should not do, or what we can do to avoid an infection beyond wearing a mask, social distancing, and washing our hands. If we become infected, we're tragically told to do nothing except take it easy at home and hope our infection doesn't get worse.You need more information and better information on all these points. You need this book. Although written to scholarly standards with lots of citations, it is written in simple clear terms for everyone to use and benefit from.In four major sections, spanning 477 pages, and with a massive 780 footnotes, 650+ links to sources and extra material, 69 charts and graphs, and a matching website with updates and additional resources, this book gives you the knowledge about what to do and how to do it.Topics covered include: What the Virus IsHow you Catch the VirusHow to Avoid Catching the Virus at HomeHow to Avoid Catching the Virus at WorkHow to Avoid Catching the Virus when TravelingHow to Avoid Catching the Virus Everywhere ElseShould You Wear a MaskWhat Happens if You're InfectedSteps to Reduce the Severity of an InfectionWhy the Virus is So ControversialWhat to Believe and How to Interpret ClaimsHydroxychloroquine - Why Such DisagreementsWhat to Expect about Vaccines

A Journal of the Plague Year (Royal Collector’s Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket)
A Journal of the Plague Year is an account of one man's experiences of the year 1665 when the bubonic plague struck the city of London. It is presented as an eyewitness account of the events at the time, told in somewhat chronological order. Defoe goes to great pains to achieve an effect of verisimilitude, identifying specific neighborhoods, streets, and even houses in which events took place. He presents tables of casualty figures and discusses the credibility of various accounts and anecdotes received by the narrator.Defoe was only five years old in 1665 when the Great Plague took place. The book was published under the initials H. F. and is likely based on the journals of Defoe's uncle, Henry Foe. Like the narrator of the book, Henry Foe was a saddler who lived in the Whitechapel district of East London. The book is often compared to the actual, contemporary accounts of the plague in the diary of Samuel Pepys. Defoe's account, which appears to include much research, is far more systematic and detailed than Pepys's first-person account.This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

COVID-19 and Migration
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted every domain of life. Migration and human mobility in general are not exceptions. Since March 2020, researchers, policy makers and many others have channelled their efforts to understand this new coronavirus, its impact and prospects. Many scholars were thinking and writing on the pandemic from its onset and many blog essays quickly appeared. One of the earliest peer-reviewed research articles Sirkeci and Yucesahin (2020) is reproduced here. This article and its focus on mobility and travel data showed that it was possible to predict the spatial spread and concentration of COVID-19 cases. Not only was this finding crucial to developing appropriate policies and strategies to counter the spread of the virus, it reminded us that the pandemic is a social disease and not simply a biological threat. The contributions in this book should be considered in this regard tackling the social and policy aspects as we leave the biological and medical side to the experts. "Covid-19 introduces new uncertainties for everyone. For agriculture, the longer term effects of the pandemic include faster mechanization, more guest workers, and rising imports. Responses are likely to vary by commodity and be shaped by government policies." - Philip L Martin, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Davis, USA "The COVID-19 pandemic reminds us of just how many people across the world rely on mobility for their livelihood: taxi drivers, delivery workers, street vendors, maintenance technicians of long-distance operation systems, all employees in the hospitality sector... not forgetting the most vulnerable at this time, the homeless, beggars and street kids, especially in the global South, who have to move from place to place to get food, to find a place to sleep through the night, and to run away from police." - Biao Xiang, Professor of Anthropology, University of Oxford, UK Contents: CHAPTER 1.

Celiac Disease (Updated 4th Edition)
From Dr. Peter H. R. Green, internationally renowned expert on celiac disease and director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University, and medical author Rory Jones, an updated fourth edition of the definitive health guide on celiac disease, one of the most underdiagnosed autoimmune diseases in the U.S. Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic is an indispensable guidebook for anyone with celiac disease as well as for those with gluten intolerance or non-celiac gluten sensitivity on a gluten-free diet. Since the last edition in 2016, scientific advances have changed what we know about the disease, how it is diagnosed and treated, and the long-term effect of a gluten-free diet on the brain and body.Celiac disease is a hereditary autoimmune condition that damages the lining of the small intestine so that it cannot properly absorb food, impacting overall digestive health. Without essential nutrients, the entire body begins to suffer. The disease is triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. The only "cure" for the disease is a life-long gluten-free diet. The disease affects nearly 1 in every 100 people in the United States--50 percent of whom remain undiagnosed and untreated. Although the primary target of injury is the small intestine, CD can and often does affect the entire body. Complications from the disease can include infertility, liver disease, osteoporosis, anemia, and other autoimmune diseases (such as Type 1 diabetes and Thyroid disease), neurological conditions, and even cancer.This updated fourth edition includes the latest information on CD, gluten intolerance, and gluten sensitivity. The important updates cover everything from new testing devices to advances in therapies that may help prevent gluten from entering and/or harming the intestines, to new research on the long-term effect of the gluten-free diet on our minds and bodies. And more!This comprehensive health guide provides clear, evidence-based answers on: Symptoms and Diagnosis: Understand the wide range of symptoms--from digestive distress to neurological conditions--and learn about the latest in testing and diagnosis from an internationally renowned expert.Associated Autoimmune Conditions: Discover the connection between celiac disease and other autoimmune disorders like Type 1 diabetes and Thyroid disease.Long-Term Health Risks: Learn about serious complications from untreated celiac disease, including infertility, osteoporosis, and even cancer, and how to manage your health effectively.Mastering the Gluten-Free Diet: Get the definitive roadmap to embracing a life-long gluten-free diet, the only proven treatment for celiac disease, with practical advice for maintaining your well-being.

Women in Ophthalmology
There are nearly 24,000 ophthalmologists in the United States, with 500 physicians newly entering the ophthalmology field each year and approximately half of those being women. Although women now represent approximately half of all ophthalmologists, gender disparities remain when it comes to certain subspecialties (e.g., surgical retina), leadership roles (e.g., department chairs), industry involvement (e.g., consultancy and advisory board positions), and even academic publications. There has been a recently heightened interest in female representation in this field which has manifested in several ways (e.g., conferences geared towards women in ophthalmology, non-peer-reviewed publications about women in ophthalmology, and mentorship programs specifically for women). This book is the first of its kind in procuring and disseminating information--pertaining to both career and life--in an organized, concrete, and enduring way. Women in Ophthalmology is a comprehensive collection of chapters primarily written by women in the field of ophthalmology. The book aims to guide others through milestones and challenges women may face during their careers, and shares sound insights into how to deal with unique issues both inside and outside the workplace. Topics that are widely applicable to all who work in ophthalmology are included, such as finding mentors, collaborating within industry, handling work-life balance, and seeking out leadership opportunities. Each chapter combines personal anecdotes with knowledge from leaders in the field which both men and women will find highly valuable.

Ampossible
Ampossible is the go-to guide for every amputee from the first day after limb loss to the day they get their life back. Thousands of amputations happen each day and millions happen every single year around the world. Yet, what an amputee actually experiences minutes after surgery, what's endured through the heart-wrenching recovery, to the time they get their life back, is rarely addressed in its complexity. Almost every amputee experiences an onslaught of emotions filled with confusion, grief, anxiety, depression, and immense physical pain. AMPOSSIBLE offers a glimpse into the realities of limb loss for those who experience it and answers the many questions amputees often have surrounding their very immediate medical needs as well as the long-term challenges, both physical and emotional, amputees must face. The book is a no-holds-barred real-world depiction of life as an amputee. Jeffrey A. Mangus, a below the knee (BKA) amputee, delivers straightforward information for both the amputee and his or her family and support network. Covering the basics of wound care and rehabilitation, he also addresses the very real emotional needs of living a new reality without a part of the body intact. Offering hope and guidance, however, Mangus encourages readers to challenge themselves to overcome the downsides and live a full and engaged life.
The Decameron (Deluxe Library Binding) (Annotated)
The Decameron is a collection of novellas containing 100 tales told by a group of seven young women and three young men sheltering in a secluded villa just outside Florence to escape the Black Death. To pass the evenings, each member of the party tells a story each night, except for one day per week for chores, and the holy days during which they do no work at all, resulting in ten nights of storytelling over the course of two weeks. The various tales of love range from the erotic to the tragic, with tales of wit, practical jokes, and life lessons contributing to the mosaic.In addition to the literary value and widespread influence of The Decameron, the book provides a document of life at the time. Written in the vernacular of the Florentine language, it is considered a masterpiece of classical early Italian prose. The Decameron was very popular among contemporaries, especially merchants, allowing many manuscripts to survive. Two in particular have elaborate drawings, likely done by Boccaccio himself.

Pandemics
If there has been one constant throughout the history of human life, it's disease. Disease-causing pathogens have always been present in our world and will undoubtedly continue to exist for the foreseeable future. This book examines the history of major plagues and pandemics from the 5th century CE to the present-day COVID-19 crisis. Each chapter tackles an individual pandemic and examines its causes, scope, and impact. Denial, prejudice, and scapegoating are societal patterns that consistently recur in response to the threat of disease. However, necessity breeds innovation, and past pandemics have spurred us to develop new technology, medical advancements, improved public health policies, and more practical infrastructure. Misinformation, however, is the enemy of progress, and learning how our predecessors responded when confronted with similar events helps us both understand and better prepare for present and future crises. COVID-19 will not be the last pandemic that humanity will experience. History demonstrates that we have overcome outbreaks of disease time and time again, and we will continue to do so using the lessons we have learned from our past. There will always be infectious diseases present in our world, but the casualties and scale of future pandemics will depend entirely on how well we can learn from our previous mistakes.

Perilous Pills
Do you know that you can be harmed by some commonly-prescribed antibiotics? The author found it was true when she developed severe tendonitis after taking an antibiotic called Levaquin, prescribed by her doctor for a minor sinus infection. She found it was one of a class of drugs called fluoroquinolones that also includes Cipro, Avelox and many generics, and that they had caused injuries and psychological damage to hundreds of thousands of patients. As a journalist, she decided to investigate. What she found were heartbreaking tales from victims who had suffered adverse effects such as rapid heartbeat, neuropathy, pain, inability to walk, nightmares, anxiety, chronic fatigue, retinal damage, aortic aneurysm, and the most common: torn Achilles tendons.The author was driven to find out why these drugs are prescribed so frequently when they can cause such damage. She uncovered a messy story of profit over safety at Big Pharma, unreliable regulation at the FDA, hospitals that gave fluoroquinolones as preventatives instead of only for bacterial infections for which they were intended, pharmacies that took shortcuts around safety warnings, and industry-influenced doctors who over-prescribed these powerful medications which can cause disability or psychological impairment for life.Here is the largely untold story about fluoroquinolones and the unnecessary harm that they have caused. It has become the author's passion to increase awareness of the risks associated with taking these drugs and to generate change in a medical community that has perpetuated this decades-long travesty.

SPECtacular Dispensing is designed to deliver useful and practical information to eye care professionals involved in dispensing and sales in a direct and efficient manner. It guides eye care professionals - in particular, business owners, dispensing opticians, optical assistants and managers. Although eyecare professionals are not trained sales professionals. They can often appear outwardly confident, but often lack the inner confidence and practical strategies to achieve great sales results on a consistent basis.SPECtacular Dispensing focuses on an approach which is natural, authentic and respectful to the people involved in the conversations. It blends neurolinguistics programming, the 5-step sales model, and unconscious archetypical patterns of behaviour also consumer psychology to provide a proven framework for becoming more persuasive, influential and consistent during dispensing and beyond.It differs from other optical books because it is not a manual, a comprehensive textbook or a system of operation; nor is it intended to offer theoretical and practical information about dispensing. It takes the reader through a cutting-edge approach that will help to clarify the role and critical position in which opticians are healthcare professionals with a foundation in retail, a role that is generally not understood by the public. It challenges the default setting of opticians as an extension of a clinical identity rather than eye care professionals in their own right within the optical retail space, which prides itself in the meeting customers' wants and needs also offering an exceptional customer retail experience.The contents explore the impact and dilemma of how optometry in certain countries, in particular, the UK, occupies an interesting yet peculiar position within the world of the eye care health professionals, where it is not totally medical, nor is it totally retail.It offers the reader skills, approaches and attitudes that have taken the author many years of training and experience to learn. She draws on those years to create a five-step framework for helping customers to buy. Her principles are natural, authentic, balanced and easy to understand and can be put into practice immediately.

A Journal of the Plague Year (Deluxe Library Binding)
A Journal of the Plague Year is an account of one man's experiences of the year 1665 when the bubonic plague struck the city of London. It is presented as an eyewitness account of the events at the time, told in somewhat chronological order. Defoe goes to great pains to achieve an effect of verisimilitude, identifying specific neighborhoods, streets, and even houses in which events took place. He presents tables of casualty figures and discusses the credibility of various accounts and anecdotes received by the narrator.Defoe was only five years old in 1665 when the Great Plague took place. The book was published under the initials H. F. and is likely based on the journals of Defoe's uncle, Henry Foe. Like the narrator of the book, Henry Foe was a saddler who lived in the Whitechapel district of East London. The book is often compared to the actual, contemporary accounts of the plague in the diary of Samuel Pepys. Defoe's account, which appears to include much research, is far more systematic and detailed than Pepys's first-person account.
Bioterrorism
Roy L. McCray Ret. MSGT, USAF Paramedic in his knowledge and impassioned work, Bioterrorism: I Smell Smoke in the Health Care Community focuses on today's most prominent threat, bacteria that caused the bubonic plague known as Yersinia Pestis. The author states knowledge and awareness are key factors all health-care workers need to be equipped with. Early diagnosis is essential to limiting any outbreak, become another nightmare such as the Plague. The interest of this paper came about with a question, how did a simple flea and lonely rate cause such devastation to wipe out a generation and left a signature in medial research. Teamwork amongst nations shared knowledge, and faith in GOD WE TRUST can conquer the sleeping giant, Yersinia. Dr. McCray believes without Jesus the battle between good and evil against a deadly disease can't be retained. Roy L McCray, D.D.D. Min. from Oval Bible Institute and Biblical Studies, M.Th. from life Christian University an Ordained Minister, enjoy outdoor activities, such as fishing, hunting, archery, and taking in the scenes of gardening. I leave the reader on this note, even though America has successful checks and balance system, we face attacks from viral, cyber, ideology conviction and the shadow of the bubonic plague. Bacteria have a cell wall that protects the nucleus of cells. How is our wall challenged against Yersinia pestis?
