Kala Azar in South Asia
by E. Noiri T. K. JhaTherapeutic regimens for visceral leishmaniasis (also Kala-azar, Dum-dum fever or black fever), caused by parasitic protozoa of the Leishmania genus, evolve at a pace never seen before. Spread by tiny and abundant sand flies, the parasite infects internal organs and bone marrow and if left untreated will almost always result in the death of the host. In developing countries successful diagnosis and treatment are complicated by asymptomatic cases, undernutrition and Kala-azar/HIV co-infections. This book brings together world-renown experts writing state-of-arts review on the progress in diagnosis and treatment of visceral leishmaniasis, ultimately leading to the complete elimination of this fatal disease from South Asia. The chapters provide valuable information for disease control as well as therapy and the diagnostic improvements necessary for early treatment, subclinical detection and drug-resistant cases. The presented methods allow for points-of-care testing in the endemic area, enabling rapid detection in resource-poor settings with easy handling and low costs. This book provides essential information for scientists, medical practitioners and policy makers involved in the diagnosis, treatment and elimination of Kala-azar.
Kala Azar in South Asia
by E. Noiri T. K. JhaVisceral leishmaniasis (VL), (also known as black fever or Kala-azar) is a life-threatening disease first reported from the Indian subcontinent. VL ranks as the world's second largest parasitic disease killer and is a neglected tropical disease. Most of those infected by this life-threatening disease are uneducated daily wagers working to support their families, and vectors easily disseminate the disease to their neighbors. Owing to recent involvement of stakeholders, the number of patients is decreasing, but eradication remains a distant goal. This second edition presents latest reports of visceral Leishmaniasis by specialists working at the forefront of the endemic areas in Indian subcontinent. It also introduces vaccine development and inhibitors to Trypanosomatidae; some of them describing feasibility studies in visceral Leishmaniasis for the first time. Recent progress of the Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development (SATREPS) is also reviewed and the contents share this collaborative research from the forefront of endemic sites in Bangladesh. Widely covering basic, clinical, epidemiological and entomological aspects, this volume will be of great interest to dedicated researchers interested inLeishmaniasis and to experts of NTDs in global health. There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortu≠ Omitted, all the voyage of disease control is bound in shallows and in miseries. ~modified from Shakespeare ~

Kanker en huid: Dermato-oncologie voor de huisarts
by Johan Toonstra Anton C. GrootDoor de toenemende incidentie van huidkanker, multipele tumoren bij patiënten en regelmatige controles neemt het beslag dat dermato-oncologische problematiek op huisartsen legt sterk toe. Het aantal consulten voor patiënten met (vermoeden op) huidkanker stijgt dan ook in rap tempo. Om zo efficiënt mogelijk aan de toegenomen zorgvraag te kunnen voldoen en de patiënten optimale zorg te kunnen bieden, is een gedegen kennis van de presentatievormen van huidkanker,hun prognose, therapieën, controles en preventie noodzakelijk. De onmisbare kennis hiervoor is in dit boek gebundeld en wordt op een praktische manier gepresenteerd en aanschouwelijk gemaakt door een groot aantal klinische afbeeldingen. Niet alleen worden de meest voorkomende vormen van huidkanker beschreven, zoals het basaalcelcarcinoom, plaveiselcelcarcinoom en het melanoom, maar ook de wat minder frequent optredende maligniteiten passeren de revue. Ook wordt ruim aandacht besteed aan de premaligne aandoeningen, waaruit huidkanker kan ontstaan, met de actinische keratose als bekendste en meest voorkomende representant. Daarnaast bevat dit boek hoofdstukken over erfelijke aandoeningen die met een verhoogd risico op huidkanker gepaard gaan (zoals het familiair dysplastisch naevussyndroom) en over huidafwijkingen die kunnen optreden bij kanker in andere organen. Uiteraard ontbreken hoofdstukken over epidemiologie, risicofactoren, preventie en therapie niet. Kanker en Huid is in eerste instantie bedoeld voor huisartsen, huisartsen in opleiding en studenten geneeskunde. Maar ook andere artsen, praktijkondersteuners, nurse practitioners en(al dan niet gespecialiseerde) verpleegkundigen zullen in hun werk regelmatig met huidkanker of voorstadia daarvan worden geconfronteerd, zodat dit boek ook voor hen waardevol zal zijn. Over de auteurs Kanker en huid, dermato-oncologie voor de huisarts is geschreven door dr. Anton C. de Groot(1951) en dr. Johan Toonstra (1949). De Groot heeft van 1980 tot 2002 als dermatoloog gepraktiseerd in het Carolus Ziekenhuis en het Willem Alexander Ziekenhuis in s-Hertogenbosch en was daarnaast actief als hoofdredacteur van het Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Dermatologie en Venereologie. Hij is auteur van 4 boeken en meer dan 350 publicaties. Dr. Johan Toonstra is sinds 1983 als dermatoloog verbonden aan het Meander Medisch Centrum.

Toonstra is actief als redacteur van de rubriek Leerzame Ziektegeschiedenissen van het Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Dermatologie en Venereologie, heeft meegewerkt aan een tiental boeken en is (mede)auteur van ongeveer 150 publicaties.

Kant and the Faculty of Feeling
by Diane Williamson Kelly SorensenKant stated that there are three mental faculties: cognition, feeling, and desire. The faculty of feeling has received the least scholarly attention, despite its importance in Kant's broader thought, and this volume of new essays is the first to present multiple perspectives on a number of important questions about it. Why does Kant come to believe that feeling must be described as a separate faculty? What is the relationship between feeling and cognition, on the one hand, and desire, on the other? What is the nature of feeling? What do the most discussed Kantian feelings, such as respect and sublimity, tell us about the nature of feeling for Kant? And what about other important feelings that have been overlooked or mischaracterized by commentators, such as enthusiasm and hope? This collaborative and authoritative volume will appeal to Kant scholars, historians of philosophy, and those working on topics in ethics, aesthetics, and emotions.
Kantianism for Animals: A Radical Kantian Animal Ethic (The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series)
by Nico Dario MüllerThis open access book revises Kant’s ethical thought in one of its most notorious respects: its exclusion of animals from moral consideration. The book gives readers in animal ethics an accessible introduction to Kant’s views on our duties to others, and his view that we have only ‘indirect’ duties regarding animals. It then investigates how one would have to depart from Kant in order to recognise that animals matter morally for their own sake. Particular attention is paid to Kant’s ‘Formula of Humanity,' the role of autonomy and the moral law, as well as Kant’s notions of practical reason and animal instinct. The result is a deliberately amended version of Kantianism which nevertheless remains faithful to central aspects of Kant’s thought. The book’s final part illustrates the framework’s use in applied contexts, addressing the issues of using animals as mere means, the ethics of veganism and vegetarianism, and environmental protection. Nico Dario Müller shows how, when furnished with duties to animals, Kant's moral philosophy can be a powerful resource for animal ethicists.
