Virus har sat dagsordenen i Jens Lundgrens arbejdsliv, lige siden han som helt ung læge stod ved sygesengen hos dødsmærkede aidspatienter og forskede i at finde en effektiv medicinsk mehandling til dem. Resultatet kan alverdens hiv-patienter takke ham for i dag.Siden coronapandemiens start har han knoklet for at hjælpe livstruede patienter og udvikle nye behandlinger med videnskabeligt dokumenteret effekt. Han har rådgivet de danske sundhedsmyndigheder og regeringen, og han har arbejdet tæt sammen med toppen af det amerikanske sundhedsvæsen under pandemigeneralen Anthony Fauci.I Vild virus giver han et unikt indblik i, hvad der sker bag kulisserne, når en virus truer os på livet og vender op og ned på vores hverdag. Bogen giver den første samlede beretning om de to vilde pandemiår: forskernes kapløb med tiden og en virus, der er en mester i at mutere, håndteringen af alle de udfordringer, virus pludselig kastede os ud i – og hvad vi har lært, så vi kan være bedre forberedte, når den næste virus udfordrer vores eksistens. For det vil ske: Pandemiernes tid er langtfra forbi.Bogen er blevet til i tæt samarbejde med Lars Igum Rasmussen, der som sundhedsredaktør på Politiken har dækket coronapandemien med mere end 200 nyhedsartikler, interviews, reportager og analyser.

A revelation' SATHNAM SANGHERA'Thrilling and eye-opening' LEWIS DARTNELL'Science and history at its best' MARK HONIGSBAUM'Unpicks everything we thought we knew... Mind blowing' CAL FLYNIn this revelatory book, Dr Jonathan Kennedy argues that germs have shaped humanity at every stage, from the first success of Homo sapiens over the equally intelligent Neanderthals to the fall of Rome and the rise of Islam.How did an Indonesian volcano help cause the Black Death, setting Europe on the road to capitalism? How could 168 men extract the largest ransom in history from an opposing army of eighty thousand? And why did the Industrial Revolution lead to the birth of the modern welfare state?The latest science reveals that infectious diseases are not just something that happens to us, but a fundamental part of who we are. Indeed, the only reason humans don't lay eggs is that a virus long ago inserted itself into our DNA, and there are as many bacteria in your body as there are human cells. We have been thinking about the survival of the fittest all wrong: evolution is not simply about human strength and intelligence, but about how we live and thrive in a world dominated by microbes.By exploring the startling intimacy of our relationship with infectious diseases, Kennedy shows how they have been responsible for some of the seismic revolutions of the past 50,000 years. Provocative and brimming with insight, Pathogenesis transforms our understanding of the human story, revealing how the crisis of a pandemic can offer vital opportunities for change.

I DERMA-VENEROLOGISKE RIM – EN SYGDOMS-ABC bliver du gennem rim og remser bekendt med en række sygdommes særlige kendetegn.Samlingen består af 29 rim, der beskriver dermatologiske og venerologiske sygdomme med begyndelsesbogstaver fra A til Å. Hvert rim er konstrueret som en gåde, der røber en række af sygdommens karakteristika – og til slut giver sygdommen sit navn til kende. Ved du f.eks., hvilken sygdom der kan få huden til at ”drysse i mængder som aske fra bål”, eller hvad man fejler, hvis ens hud ”den gløder/med knopper, der kradses så hårdt, at det bløder”?Rimsamlingen beskriver både udbredte og sjældne dermato-venerologiske sygdomme. Samlingen har et edukativt sigte, i og med hvert rim med finurlige detaljer, brug af medicinske fagtermer og rimskemaer fremstår som huskeremser.Rimsamlingen kan læses og bruges af både studerende, sundhedsfaglige og patienter, som ønsker at udbrede deres kendskab til de dermatologiske og venerologiske sygdommes udtryk på en legende, rytmisk og humoristisk måde.

OP IGEN er en beretning om en voldsom ulykke og gaseksplosion og er indtalt af forfatteren selv. En beretning om håb, afmagt, fight, kontroltab, viljestyrke og en helt ny virkelighed for en tidligere Miss World deltager, hjernetræner og Danmarksmester, som uforskyldt endte med voldsomme forbrændinger på begge ben, dropfod og PTSD, og som måtte gennemleve et lidelsesmarathon før tingene endte godt igen. I en søgen efter meningsfuldhed med ulykken, er bogen skrevet som den bog Tine Bay gerne selv ville have haft ved hånden undervejs på vej op igen, og er skrevet med både humor, styrke og autentisk ærlighed. Bogens kerne er en fortælling om ikke at give op, selv når det er svært og at holde fast i sig selv og sin integritet og finde sin egen vej, også når det brænder på. Den handler om at det umulige nogen gange kan blive muligt.Vi følger dramaet omkring selve ulykken, forløbet under den marathon lange komplicerede hospitalsindlæggelse, retfærdighedskampen og kampen om at komme tilbage til en form for hverdag. Fra Camilla Martins forord: “Jeg har grædt undervejs i bogen, fordi jeg har tænkt at det Tine går igennem, ville jeg aldrig nogensinde kunne have klaret. Men Tine stod det igennem, med en fuldstændig ufattelig og ukuelig vilje, og med en så fin og skrøbelig tilgang til sig selv og den Tine hun lærte at kende undervejs”. Tine Bay bruger i bogen højlydt alle mentale redskaber hun tidligere har brugt – særligt i kraft af sin funktion som mentaltræner. Det er også beskrivelsen af et menneskes møde medhospitalsvæsenet på godt og ondt. En oplevelse der undervejs er både fantastisk, fortvivlende og medrivende.

Du kommer sprøjtende igennem vaccineimmunitet og alle vaccinerne - fra de dræbte og de levende til de nye genetiske og alt derimellem - deres særlige historier, anvendelse (for og imod) samtid fortid og fremtid.Bogen er en hyldest til de videnskabelige triumfer der har formet vores sundhed gennem årtier. Et lille stik, det er ikke noget at være bange for.

In medical school when Franklin Delano Roosevelt was diagnosed with the disease shortly before assuming the Presidency, Salk was given an impetus to conduct studies on polio. His progress in combating the virus was hindered by the politics of medicine and by a rival researcher determined to discredit his proposed solution. But Salk's perseverance made history-and for more than fifty years his vaccine has saved countless lives, bringing humanity close to eradicating polio throughout the world. Splendid Solution chronicles Dr. Salk's race against time-and a growing epidemic that reached 57,000 reported cases in the summer of 1952-to achieve an unparalleled medical breakthrough that made him a cultural hero and icon for a whole generation.

"Anthony Fauci is arguably the most famous--and most revered-- doctor in the world today. His role guiding America sanely and calmly through COVID ... earned him the trust of millions during one of the most terrifying periods in modern American history, but this was only the most recent of the global epidemics in which Dr. Fauci played a major role. His crucial role in researching HIV and bringing AIDS into sympathetic public view and his leadership in navigating the Ebola, SARS, West Nile, and anthrax crises, make him truly an American hero. His memoir reaches back to his boyhood in Brooklyn, New York, and carries through decades of caring for critically ill patients, navigating the whirlpools of Washington politics, and behind-the-scenes advising and negotiating with seven presidents on key issues from global AIDS relief to infectious disease preparedness at home"--

A pacy, real-life page-turner by Reuters journalist on the global 100-days mission to identify and catch the next virus outbreak, codenamed DISEASE X, before it spreads worldwide.

Pandemics inflict significant harm on societies, often exacerbated by human activities that alter the natural environment. As cities expand, encroaching on areas once inhabited by wildlife, the risk of disease transmission increases. Bacteria have existed for 3.5 billion years and viruses for 1.5 billion years, while humans have only been around for 130,000 years. Coronaviruses have a long evolutionary history of over fifty million years, with some recent strains dating back to around 8000 BCE, indicating a prolonged coevolution with bats and birds. Advancements in technology during the 20th century have facilitated rapid global travel, allowing microbes to spread more quickly than ever before. The 1918 influenza pandemic, often referred to as the 'Spanish' flu, was particularly devastating, claiming between 50 and 100 million lives, or about five percent of the global population at the time. Major pandemics have historically led to significant social changes: the Justinian Plague contributed to the rise of Christianity, the bubonic plague heralded the end of serfdom, and the aftermath of the 'Spanish' flu saw many governments adopting socialized medicine. The concept began in socialist Russia and soon spread to countries like France, New Zealand, and eventually Great Britain. It took the return of battle-hardened soldiers from World War II to push this agenda politically in the UK. Post-war, the growing influence of the United States and the nascent World Health Organisation led to the decline of privileged classes and the establishment of the fundamental right to healthcare for every human being, irrespective of their background. As the world confronts the final stages of another global pandemic, the future remains uncertain. There are questions about whether new vaccines will effectively control the disease, leaving societies worldwide in a state of anticipation and adaptation.

In Section 1, the center movements to exposing the mumps infection itself. The part carefully analyzes the starting points and arrangement of the infection, revealing insight into its transmission modes and the unpredictable excursion it embraces inside the human body. A definite investigation of the hatching time frame furnishes perusers with knowledge into the basic window during which the infection quietly propels before side effects manifest.Part 2 investigates the frightening signs and side effects that mark the beginning of mumps. Through clear depictions and illustrative cases, the part refines the experience of those tormented by mumps, working with a more profound comprehension of the physical and close to home cost this viral contamination claims. The cautious separation of mumps from other comparative sicknesses helps perusers in perceiving and tending to the illness quickly.As the story advances into Part 4, consideration goes to the causes and chance factors that add to the pervasiveness of mumps. An assessment of the weakness of specific populaces and the job of immunization in moderating flare-ups further enhances the peruser's understanding of the more extensive epidemiological scene.In Part 4, the investigation reaches out to the likely difficulties and long haul impacts related with mumps. Through nitty gritty contextual investigations, perusers gain knowledge into the seriousness of mumps cases and the enduring effect they can have on different organs. Section 5 gives a top to bottom examination of the symptomatic strategies utilized in distinguishing mumps cases. It tends to the difficulties related with precise determination and highlights the meaning of early identification for starting brief and compelling administration.The penultimate section, Part 6, explores through the different treatment choices accessible to ease the experiencing brought about by mumps. It reveals insight into strong consideration measures and suggestive help procedures while underlining the vital job of immunization in forestalling and overseeing mumps cases.The last part, Section 7, turns toward avoidance methodologies and the future standpoint of overseeing mumps internationally. It investigates general wellbeing drives, progressing research, and the advancing scene of mumps counteraction and treatment.
