Mite-Human Interactions: Nuisances, Vectors, Parasites, Allergens, and Commensals offers coverage on the neglected topic of mites, their diversity, and the conditions caused or vectored by them. The first part of the book differentiates the types of mites as arthropod-borne infectious disease vectors (scrub typhus, rickettsialpox), as bothersome pests (animal and itch mites), as potential allergens (dust and food mites), and as human commensals (follicle mites). The book further provides information on how to diagnose and treat mite-borne infections, infestations, and allergies and recommends ways to prevent and control them.In addition, the book also delves into topics such as the potential psychological impact of mites with the unusual condition of delusional parasitosis, also known as known as Morgellons disease and addresses the socioeconomic disparity issues in infections, infestations, and mite-associated conditions.
Identifies the types of mites and differentiates between infections transmitted by ectoparasites from ectoparasitic infestations and allergiesProvides information on diagnoses, treatments, prevention, and control strategiesExamines the psychological and socioeconomic impact of infections, infestations, and mite-associated conditions

Ectoparasitic Diseases provides information on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of ectoparasitic conditions caused by arthropods of medical importance. The book discusses the manner in which arthropod ectoparasites threaten human health by bodily infestations, covering specific ectoparasites and the vector-borne infectious diseases transmitted by each. Chapters offer definitions, epidemiology, diagnosis, clinical manifestations, therapeutic treatments, and preventive measures. In addition, the book examines the public health, socioeconomic, and psychological impact from ectoparasitic infections.This book offers comprehensive coverage to researchers, practitioners, and advanced students studying ectoparasitic vector-borne diseases.Identifies the types of ectoparasites and differentiates between infections transmitted by ectoparasites, from ectoparasitic infestations, and from allergiesProvides information on diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and control strategiesExamines the psychological and socioeconomic impact of infections, infestations, health disparities, ectoparasite-associated conditions, allergies, and predisposing risk factors

Clinicians undergoing competency testing, certification, and periodic recertification are frequently faced with computer-based exams designed to evaluate clinical acumen and judgment. Test questions often include an image or radiograph followed by a vignette of the clinical encounter and a series of questions. Designed to better prepare practitioners for image-intense, computer-based examinations in their respective fields, Atlas of Human Poisoning and Envenoming is a visual and written reminder of the ubiquitous sources of toxins and toxoids in the environment and the outcomes of accidental or intentional toxic exposures in humans. The Second Edition has been restructured with bulleted text, tables, and figures resembling the vignettes that accompany national examinations. Combining the four specialties of toxicology—analytical, medical, environmental, and industrial—into one comprehensive atlas, the book presents photographs and diagrams of toxic plants and animals, their mechanisms of poisoning or envenoming, and the human responses caused by toxic exposure. Highlights of the new edition include: Prescription and illicit drug abuse epidemicsEnvironmental and occupational nephrotoxicology and neurotoxicologyTick paralysisPetrochemical toxicantsBiological, chemical, and radiological warfare agentsWorkplace substance abuse screening and monitoringEpidemiological design and statistical analysis of toxicological investigationsThe book is conveniently divided into four sections covering general medical toxicology, environmental toxicology, industrial and occupational toxicology, and epidemiology and statistics for toxicology. Supplemented with a 16-page color insert, the second edition includes new images and tables. The atlas will be a useful study guide for a range of practitioners preparing for a lifetime of image-intense national examinations.
