Each year, about 15,000 cases of Lyme disease are reported in the United States, making it our number one vector-borne, or animal carried, disease. Surprisingly, Lyme disease was not listed as an official disease category by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) until 1982. The public is still unaware of many of the aspects of Lyme disease e.g., its symptoms, its cause, its method of transmission (is it contagious ?). However, there are many aspects of Lyme disease that are known. For example, we know that a certain type of tick spreads the disease, and that Lyme disease is actually caused by bacteria. There is a vaccine, but it is not presently available. More research needs to be done on the interaction of the animals involved in the pathogenesis of the disease, assessing the role of the environment, and determining the effectiveness of different preventive measures |

Biomedical Research Reports is introduced at a time of unprecedented advances and public interest in medical research. Our intention is to provide the reader with an in-depth analysis of subjects of interest to the biomedical researcher from the broad perspective of multiple authors, each covering a particular facet of the subject. We intentionally have chosen a broad scope for this new series to maximize flexibility in the range of topics that will be reviewed. We will select, annually at a minimum, subjects that we believe are both timely and challenging. It is particularly appropriate to launch the series with the topic of "Emerging Infections." We are indeed fortunate that Richard M. Krause, M.D., a long-time student and authority on the subject, has agreed to edit our first volume. Dr. Krause has highlighted the leading emerging infectious diseases of this century, and in his characteristically eloquent style has packaged them into an easy to read volume. The introductory chapter by Dr. Krause, and the chapters by Roy M. Anderson, "Analytical Theory of Epidemics," and Julian E. Davies and Vera Webb, "Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria," provide a background for understanding some of the principles of emerging infectious diseases. Influenza, dengue, AIDS, Hantavirus, Ebola virus, streptococcal diseases, Lyme disease, tuberculosis, cholerae, malaria, parasitic infections and slow virus infections were selected by Dr. Krause as examples of infectious diseases that pose enormous scientific and clinical challenges. |

In the 1960s, infectious diseases—which had terrorized generations were tamed. Building on a century of discoveries, the leading killers of Americans both young and old were being prevented with new vaccines or cured with new med i c i n e s . The risk of death from pneumonia, tuberculosis, meningitis, influenza, whooping cough, and diphtheria declined dramatically. New vaccines lifted the fear that su m m er would bring po l i o, and a gl obal campaign was approaching the global eradication of smallpox . New pesti c i de s like DDT cleared mosquitoes from homes and fields, thus reducing the incidence of malaria which was present in the southern United States and a leading killer of children worldwide. New technologies produced safe drinking water and removed the risk of cholera and other water-borne diseases. Science seemed unstoppable. Disease seemed destined to almost disappear. But the euphoria of the 1960s has evaporated. |

The word Ebola conjures up horrific images of sickness and death. Movies and television shows have dramatized the deadly results of infection with the virus (Figure 1.1). In fact, the Ebola virus has become synonymous with a gruesome death. The body’s organs “liquefy,” patients succumb to a haze of fever and pain, internal and external bleeding causes oozing blood, and patients often die. Even people who are unfamiliar with infectious diseases have probably heard about the Ebola virus. Much like the Black Plague or AIDS, Ebola is a disease that has transcended medicine to become part of popular culture. And also like AIDS, the Ebola virus has captured the general public’s respect and instilled fear in a remarkably short period of time: Both diseases were discovered barely 30 years ago, and have already made their mark in the history books. |

Few people ever bother to read the preface of a textbook, much less the preface of a book on the subject of pain management. This completely revised Seventh Edition is the most comprehensive rewrite of Pain Management: A Practical Guide for Clinicians. Unlike the previous six editions, every attempt has been made to offer evidence-based, clinically relevant information. This book is intended for pain practitioners and busy practitioners from other disciplines trying to provide relief for those suffering with pain. Uniquely, the book unfolds the “story” of pain and its management just as those suffering present themselves to clinicians for help. Major perspectives and challenges are initially identified, leading to an appreciation of the various disciplines providing care. Common pain problems and diagnostic methods used in pain management next give “flesh” to the skeletal story. Treatment options unfold from least invasive to most invasive as we explore behavioral approaches, pharmacotherapy, procedural techniques and the integrative options. The needs of special populations, along with the legal aspects of care, belief systems and spiritual matters, and practice issues finally complete the book. |

A sincere effort has been made for this textbook to contain up-to-date, accepted guidelines for diagnosing and treating ear problems. However, medical knowledge is ever changing, and treatment choices may also vary fromgeographic region to region. Astute practitioners should be aware of even the most recent changes in medical information. Furthermore, the medical professional should exercise great care in performing any procedure or prescribing any medication. For example, seemingly straightforward ear cleaning may bring about unexpected complications. Regarding the prescription of drugs and their dosages, one should refer to the manufacturer’s leaflet accompanying the product and be aware of the patient’s known drug intolerances and allergies. |

Major depression was meticulously described by Hippocrates nearly 2500 years ago. Melancholia, a subtype of depression, is the only word which was coined by Hippocrates based on his theory of the four humors (melancholia: black bile), and that is still used today to describe a disorder that is part of contemporary official diagnostic systems. This book covers major depressive disorder, specifically unipolar depression, a condition that we conceptualize as a common and complex disorder of gene– environment interactions for which the specific genetic and environmental substrates are still unknown. These words are simple but are loaded with meaning, as follows. Common – depression is highly prevalent worldwide. As the disorder is episodic, lifetime rates are higher than point prevalence. Even though figures vary worldwide, depression is indeed very common. |

Much has changed in psychopharmacology since the publication of the first edition of Essential Psychopharmacology four years ago. This second edition attempts to reflect the advances in neuroscience, in the understanding of psychiatric disorders, and in the dozens of new medications for psychiatric disorders that have dramatically advanced the field of psychopharmacology in this brief period of time. Thus, two chapters have been added, 11 of the 12 earlier chapters have been extensively revised, and the length of the written text has been increased by about 50%. What has not changed is the didactic style of the first edition, which continues in this edition and is largely based on updated lectures, slides, and articles of the author. Thus, new materials are presented, with an emphasis on color pictures, which have more than doubled in this edition to over 500 in total. |
