An atlas dedicated to medical parasitology, featuring photographs and scanning electron microphotographs of various parasites, such as hookworm and Spirometra erinacei. It serves as a reference guide for scientists and sufferers of parasitic diseases.
A comprehensive review covering the fundamental principles of parasitology, including definitions of host types (definitive, intermediate, reservoir, paratenic) and parasite classifications (obligate, facultative, ecto-, endo-). The notes detail life cycles and modes of transmission (food/waterborne, transplacental, blood transfusion) for key protozoa and helminths, such as Entamoeba histolytica, Plasmodium, and various tapeworms and nematodes.
A visual resource and reference guide, formatted as an atlas, detailing the morphology, life cycles, and diagnostic features of medically relevant parasitic helminths (worms) and protozoa.
This manual provides a detailed study of medically important protozoan parasites. Content covers bridged classification, morphology, life cycles, pathogenesis, pathology, and laboratory diagnosis of major protozoal infections, including Amoebiasis (Entamoeba histolytica), Intestinal Flagellates (Giardia lamblia), Leishmaniasis, Trypanosomiasis (Sleeping Sickness and Chagas Disease), and Malaria (Plasmodium species).
This book features a series of entertaining essays based on interviews with eighteen of the world’s leading parasitologists and infectious disease epidemiologists. It provides unique insight into key discoveries that shaped the field, covering breakthrough science ranging from immunology and ecology to diseases like malaria, trypanosomiasis, schistosomiasis, and Lyme disease.
A comprehensive textbook covering the core principles of parasitology, including animal associations, taxonomy of major parasitic phyla (Protozoa, Platyhelminthes, Nematodes, Arthropods), transmission methods, host immune reactions, detailed pathology, and diagnostic techniques. It also explores the economic and beneficial uses of parasites.
A comprehensive textbook focusing on the study of human parasites and the diseases they cause, providing foundational knowledge in the field of medical parasitology and microbiology. The book is dedicated to teaching students and professionals about parasitic pathogens.
A comprehensive collection of multiple-choice questions designed to test knowledge in medical parasitology. Topics covered include the structure and life cycles of medically significant protozoa (e.g., Naegleria, Plasmodium) and helminths (trematodes, cestodes, nematodes), clinical presentations of parasitic diseases (e.g., malaria, schistosomiasis, filariasis), and diagnostic methods.
A comprehensive reference detailing the principles, diagnosis, pathology, and management of human parasitic infections. It covers both fundamental aspects and practical clinical applications for identifying and treating parasitic diseases.
A comprehensive dictionary providing definitions and reference material related to the field of parasitology. Authored by a former Senior Government Scientist specializing in zoonoses and infection risks.
A comprehensive textbook detailing medical parasitology, covering protozoan pathogens and other parasites relevant to infectious diseases. The book includes historical context, acknowledging foundational contributors like Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, the founder of Microbiology.

Description
Patients in the neurointensive care unit...
This handbook provides an extensive overview of the theory, research, and treatment approaches for personality disorders, focusing on current standards of practice in the field.
This outline details various supranuclear eye movement disorders, including horizontal and vertical gaze palsies, Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia (INO), the one-and-a-half syndrome (combined MLF and PPRF lesion), Parinaud dorsal midbrain syndrome, and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). It notes key symptoms like defective adduction, nystagmus, convergence issues, and light-near dissociation, along with important causes such as vascular disease, tumors, and demyelination.
A comprehensive set of medical notes covering the definition, etiology, clinical presentation (Major and Minor Criteria), diagnosis, special investigations, and treatment (prophylactic and active) of Rheumatic Fever. It also introduces Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis (SBE), discussing its definition, etiology, and pathogenesis.
This book analyzes Helicobacter pylori, discussing its discovery, its role in fundamentally changing the paradigm of gastroduodenal diseases, and its impact on acid secretion, chronic inflammation, and mucosal immunology. It details how H. pylori is the main causal factor for gastritis, peptic ulcer, gastric MALT lymphoma, and gastric cancer, being classified as a Group 1 carcinogen.
This textbook covers the field of Endocrinology, detailing topics from pathophysiology to therapeutic interventions. It is intended for general scientific research and professional understanding in the areas of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism.
A clinical guide detailing the principles and application of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in examining the optic nerve, focusing on conditions like glaucoma. The book covers analysis methods for the optic nerve, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and macular ganglion cells, discusses error sources in OCT, and outlines result presentation formats for specific platforms, including Cirrus™ HD-OCT and OCT Optovue (RTVue).
A specialized volume focusing on the combined use of pharmacology and surgical methods for treating diseases of the retina and vitreous body. Key areas covered include vitreoretinal surgery techniques, the role and therapeutic use of enzymes, and the drug effects on the vitreous body in the context of combined modality therapy.
This comprehensive clinical guide focuses on the identification, accurate diagnosis, and expeditious management of complications that occur during and after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). It uses a case-based approach to provide a fundamental understanding of these complications.
This book analyzes the biophysical properties and diagnostic technologies related to Glaucoma. Key topics include the importance of Intraocular, Intracranial, and Ocular Perfusion Pressures (IOP, ICP, OPP) in pathogenesis, and current methods for visualizing the anterior chamber angle.
A prescribing guide intended for medical, scientific, or health-care professionals, providing information on dosages, procedures, and diagnoses, intended as a supplement to professional judgment. The book emphasizes independent verification of information due to rapid advances in medical science.
