This book introduces the epidemiological characteristics, etiology, molecular biology, virology and the latest research progress of COVID-19. It also presents the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of the new infectious disease. The content is based on literature review of a large number of relevant articles published in China and abroad, as well as the experience of medical workers in this field in China. In the pandemic, experts from major hospitals in Shanghai had successfully treated more than 300 patients with COVID-19. Their valuable experience in diagnosis and treatment has been summarized and included in the book. It is hoped that this book will be helpful to the vast number of readers who are concerned about the research progress and treatment of COVID-19.

This book introduces the up-to-date knowledge of managing FUO (fevers of unknown origin), discusses the etiology and distribution of disorders causing FUO, helps clinicians in differential diagnosis of the wide range of disorders which have the clinical manifestation of fever. The diagnosis and treatment of FUO is one of the most challenging topics recognized in clinical practice. Detailed history, physical examination, and laboratory tests in the differential diagnosis of the FUO patient are also of key importance. This book contains experiences in the diagnostic approaches of FUO and summarizes the clinical practice routine for these patients. The major parts of this book include cases of infectious diseases, non-infectious inflammatory diseases, malignant disease and others. A full view of differential diagnoses and clinical management are presented to help the readers know how to manage the patients when facing similar cases in clinical practice. Concise literature review, including guidelines is also provided for a better understanding of the disease diagnosis and treatment. More general principles of empirical therapy and a handful of specific indications are further demonstrated.

This book proposes an analytical framework covering eight strata in three classes. Based on the data from a large-scale random questionnaire survey on the theme of “Social Development and Social Construction” organized and implemented by Shanghai University from 2012 to 2013, this book expounds the distribution and evolutionary trend of eight strata in three classes in aspects such as education, income, housing, inter-generational mobility, intra-generational mobility, stratum identification, social interaction and marital matching from the four aspects of social stratification and interest relationship adjustment, social contradiction and conflict integration, strata distinctions and social distinctions, as well as consciousness and psychology of social strata. This book explores the dynamics of social stratification and inequality, assessing both the positive and negative impacts of social mobility.This book helps foreign readers understand the current state and future developmental trends of social stratification and social mobility in contemporary China.
