Bilharzia - A History of Imperial Tropical Medicine (Paperback, Revised): John Farley Bilharzia - A History of Imperial Tropical Medicine (Paperback, Revised)
John Farley
R1,359 Discovery Miles 13 590 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The advent of tropical medicine was a direct consequence of European and American imperialism, when military personnel, colonial administrators, businessmen, and settlers encountered a new set of diseases endemic to the tropics. Professor Farley describes how governments and organizations in Britain, the British colonies, the United States, Central and South America, South Africa, China, and the World Health Organization faced one particular tropical disease, bilharzia or schistosomiasis. Bilharzia is caused by a species of blood vessel-inhabiting parasitic worms and today afflicts over 200 million people in seventy-four countries. Author Farley demonstrates that British and American imperial policies and attitudes largely determined the nature of tropical medicine. Western medical practitioners defined the type of medical system that was imposed on the indigenous populations; they dictated which diseases were important and worthy of study, which diseases were to be controlled, and which control methods were to be used. Historians, historians of medicine, parasitologists, and experts in tropical medicine will find this a fascinating study.

Colonial Pathologies - American Tropical Medicine, Race, and Hygiene in the Philippines (Paperback, New Ed): Warwick Anderson Colonial Pathologies - American Tropical Medicine, Race, and Hygiene in the Philippines (Paperback, New Ed)
Warwick Anderson
R729 Discovery Miles 7 290 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Colonial Pathologies is a groundbreaking history of the role of science and medicine in the American colonization of the Philippines from 1898 through the 1930s. Warwick Anderson describes how American colonizers sought to maintain their own health and stamina in a foreign environment while exerting control over and "civilizing" a population of seven million people spread out over seven thousand islands. In the process, he traces a significant transformation in the thinking of colonial doctors and scientists about what was most threatening to the health of white colonists. During the late nineteenth century, they understood the tropical environment as the greatest danger, and they sought to help their fellow colonizers to acclimate. Later, as their attention shifted to the role of microbial pathogens, colonial scientists came to view the Filipino people as a contaminated race, and they launched public health initiatives to reform Filipinos' personal hygiene practices and social conduct.A vivid sense of a colonial culture characterized by an anxious and assertive white masculinity emerges from Anderson's description of American efforts to treat and discipline allegedly errant Filipinos. His narrative encompasses a colonial obsession with native excrement, a leper colony intended to transform those considered most unclean and least socialized, and the hookworm and malaria programs implemented by the Rockefeller Foundation in the 1920s and 1930s. Throughout, Anderson is attentive to the circulation of intertwined ideas about race, science, and medicine. He points to colonial public health in the Philippines as a key influence on the subsequent development of military medicine and industrial hygiene, U.S. urban health services, and racialized development regimes in other parts of the world.

Climate change and environmental pollution remain two primary areas of concern in today's world. These detrimental influences continue to have a strong impact on various aspects of humanity, specifically public health in tropical regions. Researchers have seen neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affected by climate change and anthropogenic impacts. Climate Change and Anthropogenic Impacts on Neglected Tropical Diseases is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the association of environmental pollutants and global warming with viruses in tropical regions. While highlighting topics such as pathogenicity, travel impact, and economic impacts, this publication explores the developments and trends in these areas of medicine and ecology, as well as prevention strategies to be used for educational and sensitization purposes. This book is ideally designed for doctors, medical practitioners, ecologists, epidemiologists, environmentalists, world health organizations, researchers, biologists, policymakers, academicians, and students.

Bei seinem unvorhergesehenen Tode war es nahezu vollendet und nur einzelne Teile bedurften noch einer kleinen Erganzung. uber unsere Bitte hat der emeritierte Vorstand d.er Wiener Universitatsklinik fur Syphilidologie und Dermatologie Hof rat Professor Dr. Ernest Finger, an dessen Klinik Dr. Planner durch vierzehn Jahre als Assistent gewirkt hat, das hinter lassene Manuskript durchgesehen und uber seine Empfehlung haben wir Dr. Richard Geiger, ebenfalls einen fruheren Assistenten der Klinik Finger und jetzigen Vorstand des Ambu latoriums fur Haut- und Geschlechtskrankheiten im Kaiser Franz Josefs-Spital in Wien veranlasst, die notwendigen Er ganzungen einzufugen. Dr. Geiger hat in anzuerkennender Weise diese Arbeit auf sich genommen. Somit konnen wir nun das letzte .werk Dr. Planners be ruhigt der Offentlichkeit ubergeben, in der Erwartung, dadurch guten Dienst zu leisten. den Arzten einen Dr. Planner hat sich das Ziel gesteckt gehabt, dem prak tischen Arzte das Verstandnis fur das Wesen der Syphilis naherzubringen und ihn uber die Naturgeschichte und Biologie, uber die Klinik und namentlich uber die Therapie der Krank heit ausreichend zu unterrichten.

8 selbe Stelle vermittelt wurden, ungemein grot\. Hat man doch in England jahrlich etwa 190 000 neue Syphilis alle berechnet, in Bel gien die Gesamtzahl der Syphilitischen auf 400000 und in Frank reich auf etwa ein Zehntel der Gesamtbevolkerung geschatzt. Von den in HOBpitalern befindlichen Kranken Bollen in Frankreich bis zu 40 vH, in Belgien bis zu 22 vH ihr Leiden der Syphilis zu ver danken haben. Mogen diese Zahlen bei dem Mangel einer wirk lich zuverlassigen Statistik auf diesem Gebiete auch zum Teil zu hoch gegriffen sein, so sind sie doch geeignet zu zeigen, wie unge mein verbreitet diese Krankheit noch vor kurzem war und wie hoch ihre Bedeutung fUr die Volksgesundheit eingeschatzt werden muD. DaD auch bei uns in Deutschland die Zahl der Todesfalle an Syphilis eine sehr groDe war, haben BLASCHKO, HELLER, JADAS SOHN u. a. sowohl fur die erworbene wie fur die angeborene Sy philis in zum Teil erschreckend hohen Zahlen gezeigt. Welch ent setzliche Ausbreitung und Bedeutung den Geschlechtskrankheiten auch bei uns noch zukommt, ergibt eine mit lehrreichen Tabellen versehene, kurzlich erschienene zur Aufklarung der Offentlichkeit bestimmte Ubersicht von BREGER aus dem Reichs-Gesundheits amt. Hier wird auf Grund der letzten Zahlung der Geschlechts krankheiten yom 15. XI. bis 14. XII. 1919 der Jahreszugang an Neuerkrankungen auf mehr als eine halbe Million berechnet, worunter sich viele Syphilitische befinden; dabei handelt es sich aber nur um eine Mindestzahl, weil viele nicht bei A. rzten behan delte oder nicht von Arzten gemeldete Kranke fehlen."
