"A gripping cautionary tale about the dangers of mainstreaming fringe ideas before turning them into federal policy, We Want Them Infected is damning, indispensable, and one-of-a-kind. It is likely to become canonical." Christopher LaneWriter on Side Effects @PsychTodayMember, Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities>Praise For We Want Them InfectedOne of the untold stories of the COVID pandemic in the US is the role of medical and public health professionals in spreading disinformation, pushing for policies that exacerbate the virus' spread, and drive people away from important interventions, particularly vaccines, which blunt the deadly effects of SARSCOV2. Because of professional courtesy, solidarity or just sheer cowardice, many inside the professions have refused to take on these frauds, egomaniacs, purveyors of sickness and suffering in white coats. Jonathan Howard's book We Want Them Infected, though, names names. In painstaking detail, he builds an indictment of these men and women who have blood on their hands, abusing the trust of millions to peddle lies and falsehoods. This book is one for the ages, making it hard to sweep the complicity of these individuals with the virus under the carpet, leaving a record for the future, a cautionary tale for all of us.Gregg Gonsalves, PhDAssociate Professor, Yale School of Public HealthAssociate Professor (adjunct), Yale Law SchoolThe legacy of the COVID-19 pandemic will haunt our nation (United States) for many years. This is true not only because of the horrific toll of more than one million American deaths, and those who lost loved ones, but also several failed public health policies that contributed to America's suffering. In "We Want Them Infected" Dr. Howard tells a dark story of how spurious concepts of herd immunity may have contributed to the spread of COVID-19 in the United States (and perhaps globally). His book provides important information about how we might limit the death and destruction of future virus pandemics.Dr. Peter Hotez, MD, PhD, DSc (hon), FASTMH, FAAPTexas Children's Hospital: Endowed Chair of Tropical Pediatrics Co-Director, Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development Baylor College of Medicine: Dean, National School of Tropical Medicine Professor, Departments of Pediatrics, Molecular Virology & Microbiology Health Policy Scholar Rice University, Baker Institute Fellow in Disease & Poverty, Texas A&M University, Faculty-Senior Fellow, Hagler Inst for Advanced Study & Scowcroft Institute of Intl Affairs

This book is unique in describing the practical considerations of endoscopic cardiac surgery. It covers this topic from basic concepts such as patient selection to imaging and outlines the different approaches to particular endoscopic cardiac surgical procedures. As there is an increasing acceptance that cardiac surgery needs to be provided to older and sicker patients and more asymptomatic patients, the option of a sternotomy is becoming less appealing. The endoscope has changed the patient pathway in many surgical specialities, but until recently cardiac surgery has been slow to adopt this approach. With improvements in imaging and better imaging technology, there is a steady increase in accepted procedures and trained surgeons offering this approach.Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery: Tips, Tricks and Traps captures the experience of endoscopic cardiac surgeons from around the world and is a concise yet thorough reference book for those starting a program in this discipline. With over 3 hours of associated video material, it will be an essential primer for the discipline, therefore making it a valuable reference for trainees in cardiac surgery and experienced surgeons wishing to add this approach to their armamentarium.Via app: download the SN More Media app for free, scan a link with play button and access MP4 directly on your smartphone or tablet.

In this issue of Thoracic Surgery Clinics, guest editors Drs. DuyKhanh P. Ceppa and Kei Suzuki bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Access to Lung Screening.

The author, a professor of Hispanic Studies at Trinity College in Hartford, CT, argues that political, scientific, and cultural elites, in conjunction with the pharmaceutical industry and other corporate actors, used the COVID-19 pandemic to impose a repressive social order on the American public and establish "medical apartheid" within communities, ultimately striking at the heart of freedom and democracy.

This book should represent a guideline for launching an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) program. It describes in detail particularities and special features of planning, setting up, developing, structuring and maintaining of ECMO support program for instable patients with the need of transportation from peripheral hospitals to an experienced ECMO centre for further treatment.Authors have condensed both the current evidence and Guidelines on ECMO and eCPR support and have highlighted in detail the issue of planning, setting up, developing, structuring and maintaining this program with the view to helping other centres launching this life-saving service taking into account their experience in this important field of medicine. In this context, the main benefit of this book is the outstanding and particular aim to educate the reader in developing and maintaining a large-spectrum ECMO program. The volume, richly illustrated and written by KOLs using an expository writing style to promote the readability will appeal to intensivists, anesthesiologists and cardiologists as well as cardiac- and thoracic-surgeons and pneumologists

The commonness and complexity of COPD necessitate rapid communication of significant new knowledge of the disease. This book provides a platform for sharing new notions in scientific research as well as contemporary clinical best practices. It combines noetic theoretical concepts with the ontic practical management of COPD. Epistemological concepts explored in this book include contextualization in the evaluation and treatment of COPD, as well as the latest in the basic science of airway inflammation, "omics" research, and delivery therapeutics. Practical topics addressed include early detection and alleviation of COPD exacerbation, pulmonary rehabilitation, and identifying phenotypes or treatable traits to optimize inhaled therapy.

This book describes the different aspects of ischemic heart disease, one of the leading causes of death in industrialized countries, and whose growing prevalence represents a major challenge in terms of short- and long-term management and surveillance. This volume offers a comprehensive discussion of the state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging options, of disease risk stratification, selection of candidates for surgical intervention, percutaneous revascularitation, mechanical assist devices implantation. Recently, the morbidity and mortality of ischaemic heart disease have substantially improved because of the progress in therapeutic strategies, represented by the dramatic evolution of percutaneous coronary interventions, that are carefully described in the volume, together with all the other most recent treatment options: from medical therapy to conventional surgery, minimally invasive surgery, surgery of ischemic complications. The biggest challengein the next years is, however, to reduce the incidence of coronary artery disease worldwide.This highly illustrated, case oriented reference book is aimed at cardiology fellows in training, while also helpful to surgeons, cardiologists, imaging specialists, interventional cardiologists, as well as other clinicians and students involved in the diagnosis and treatment of ischemic disease.

Dieses Buch bietet neue Einblicke in die Pathogenese der Atherosklerose. Die Kapitel befassen sich mit den Risikofaktoren für Atherosklerose, den Auswirkungen von Wachstum und Alterung auf die Gefäßarchitektur und der entscheidenden Rolle, die das Mikrogefäßsystem bei der Entstehung von Atherosklerose spielt. Eine mikrovaskuläre Dysfunktion würde erklären, warum die bekannten Risikofaktoren das Risiko für den Einzelnen tatsächlich erhöhen. Dieser Pathomechanismus würde nicht nur für die obstruktive Atherombildung gelten, sondern auch für die aneurysmatische Dilatation sowie für die Dissektion der Aorta und der peripheren Arterien. Durch diese Brille betrachtet, ergeben sich neue präventive und therapeutische Möglichkeiten.In Atherosclerosis Pathogenesis and Microvascular Dysfunction wird ein einheitlicher Mechanismus für die Entstehung von Atherosklerose vorgeschlagen und es werden potenzielle präventive und therapeutische Möglichkeiten auf der Grundlage dieses Konzepts beschrieben. Das Buch stellt daher eine zeitgemäße und wertvolle Ressource für Ärzte der Inneren Medizin, Kardiologie, Angiologie, Herz- und Gefäßchirurgen, Pathologen, Forscher, Auszubildende und Studenten dar.
