Wer eine akute Coviderkrankung übersteht, hat bis zur vollständigen Genesung oft einen langen Weg vor sich. Das gilt keineswegs nur für Personen, die intensivmedizinisch behandelt wurden: Auch nach milden Verläufen leiden Menschen manchmal noch lange nach der Infektion mit Sars-CoV-2 unter verschiedenen Beschwerden. Zu ihnen zählen etwa Abgeschlagenheit, Sinnesstörungen und Konzentrationsschwierigkeiten bis hin zu bleibenden Organschäden und neurologischen Folgeerkrankungen. Die Erforschung dieses komplexen Symptombilds, das als "Long Covid" bekannt wurde, hat erst begonnen.

Unser Immunsystem ist durch die Evolution mit der Umwelt und allen anderen Lebensformen verbunden und trägt die immunologische Entwicklung aller Lebewesen in sich. Wenn wir verstehen wollen, wie wir langfristig gesund bleiben, brauchen wir in der Medizin einen Paradigmenwechsel hin zur Ökoimmunologie. Diese junge Wissenschaft untersucht, welchen Einfluss Temperatur, Jahreszeit, Bodenmikroben, Atemluft und andere Umweltfaktoren auf Krankheiten und deren Verläufe haben.

Abseits aller Hysterie: Jeder 10. Todesfall ist auf eine Infektion zurückzuführen ... Gefährliche Coli-Keime auf Flugzeugsitzen, Legionellen im Trinkwasser, multiresistente Bakterien, Schweinegrippe, Ebola - was eignet sich besser für Schlagzeilen? Ist es nicht Ironie, dass uns dabei der Blick für die eigentlichen Risiken verloren geht? In diesem Buch klären Experten ersten Ranges auf: Welche Rolle spielen Abwehrkräfte des Körpers? Wann sind Impfungen zielführend? Was ist mit "klassischen" Kinderkrankheiten? Was hilft bei schweren Infektionen?

For all the horrifying statistics of the number infected by COVID-19, multiply by a factor of 20 to approximate how many worldwide are suffering stress, depression, relationship breakdown, and even suicide as a direct consequence of Coronavirus. In this straight-talking, pragmatic, but hard-hitting exposé, practicing psychiatrist Raj Persaud argues for simple yet powerful mental strategies to immunize individuals against the panic of the pandemic.

Caldo estremo, uragani, piogge torrenziali, incendi, nuovi virus aggressivi come quello che ha segnato il mondo intero nel 2020. La natura ha cominciato a ribellarsi. E non c'è più tempo: l'impatto dell'uomo sul nostro pianeta ha un peso ormai insostenibile. Molte patologie infettive degli ultimi decenni, da Ebola all'AIDS, da hendra alla dengue, non sono solo tragedie dettate dal caso. C'è un nesso profondo tra la loro diffusione e i cambiamenti climatici, la deforestazione, l'inquinamento e anche la diseguaglianza sociale, perché povertà e fame sono alleati dei virus.

When the SARS virus broke out in China in January 2003, Karl Taro Greenfeld was the editor of Time Asia in Hong Kong, just a few miles from the epicenter of the outbreak.

Overcoming the Darkness of COVID is about two doctors who used a treatment protocol early in the pandemic and early in treatment, when the conventional wisdom issued was not to provide any treatment to patients and send them home. To the contrary, every one of the patients Dr. Tyson and Dr. Fareed treated early in the illness recovered and there were no deaths. This book is their story, complete with testimonials from patients and other doctors, research studies, news clippings, and most of all, the reasons why this successful treatment was held back from the public.

In early 2020, our lives were upended by a new virus that caused the most severe pandemic in over a century. In the span of a few weeks, even visiting a grocery store became a task in risk assessment. Cities and countries across the world closed their borders for their own citizens, as well as...

Brought to you by Penguin. Before Bill Gates became an expert on climate science, he was known as one of the few who studied pandemics - how they start, how they spread, how they can be controlled. He warned us years ago in a now-famous TED Talk of their arrival in our future. The future, of...

El 31 de diciembre de 2019 China informó a la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) sobre la aparición de varios casos de neumonía de causa desconocida en Wuhan, ciudad de la provincia de Hubei. El 23 de enero se cerró Hubei. El 31 de enero la OMS decretó la emergencia sanitaria global.

Margaret never dreamed that purchasing her newly remodeled dream cottage on the north end of Houghton Lake, Michigan, would send her family's life spiraling into any parent’s worst nightmare. Shortly after moving in, the family finds themselves barricaded like prisoners in their own home in a vain attempt to dodge the swarming reconstructed wetland mosquitoes. Nobody's immune to the bug bites, but one-year-old Julia's welts quickly develop into bizarre and unexplainable lesions.

Since we first heard rumblings about a novel type of pneumonia in Wuhan, China, terms like pandemic, spike protein, viral particles, variants, mRNA vaccines, antibodies, hydroxychloroquine, social distancing, immune response, convalescent plasma, aerosol transmission, and of course, face coverings, have entered our everyday vocabulary. The scientific literature has exploded with studies exploring every facet of COVID-19, but unfortunately the “viral” spread of misinformation about the pandemic has also reached epic proportions.
