Rare & Severe Infections - From...

Lilly Richardsen

Uncommon infections represent the frontiers of medical challenge, where diagnostic complexity, rapid progression, and severe outcomes converge to create some of the most daunting scenarios in clinical medicine. This comprehensive exploration delves into three distinct yet equally consequential infections—Meningitis, Elephantiasis (Lymphatic Filariasis), and Legionella pneumophila infection—each exemplifying the remarkable diversity of microbial pathogenesis and the profound ways in which rare infections can transform human health and lives. 
The narrative of rare and severe infections extends beyond their medical rarity; it encompasses the intricate biological mechanisms, unique transmission patterns, and complex clinical presentations that make these conditions simultaneously fascinating to researchers and devastating to patients. By examining the neurological inflammation of meningitis, the disfiguring lymphatic disruption of elephantiasis, and the respiratory assault of Legionella, this book illuminates how different pathogenic organisms exploit specific biological vulnerabilities to produce extraordinarily consequential diseases. Readers will journey through the epidemiological landscapes where these infections emerge—from the global burden of meningococcal disease to the tropical endemic regions of lymphatic filariasis and the modern built environments where Legionella thrives—while exploring the scientific advances in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention that offer hope against these formidable pathogens.

The Rosedale Diet

Carol Colman, Ron Rosedale

“I believe Dr. Rosedale’s method will positively shape our ultimate understanding of what constitutes healthy nutrition.” —Eric C. Westman, MD, New York Times–bestselling author

Finally—the ultimate diet for fast, safe weight loss, lifelong health, and longer life, based on more than twenty years of research and the latest findings on appetite and weight. Metabolic specialist Ron Rosedale, MD, has designed the Rosedale Diet to regulate the powerful hormone leptin, which controls appetite and weight loss by telling the brain when to eat, how much to eat—and when to stop. New research shows that leptin may be one of the body’s most important hunger control mechanisms. Control leptin, and you control your weight.

Dr. Rosedale’s 21-day diet plan is simple: Just select from the many foods on his “A” list, including “healthy-fat” foods such as avocados, nuts, olives, lobster, crab, shrimp, goat cheese, Cornish game hen, venison, and more. Then gradually add foods from the “B” list, such as steak, lamb chops, fruits, beans, and so on. A 28-day menu plan and more than 100 recipes, such as Dilled Salmon and Fresh Asparagus, Gingery Chicken Soup, Lasagna, Black Bean Wrap, Raspberry Mousse Cake, and French Silk Pie, make eating the Rosedale way deliciously easy.

The Rosedale Diet will make you feel satisfied, reduce cravings, and put you in control of your “sweet tooth.” It can even help eliminate or reduce heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and other conditions associated with “natural” aging, as many of Dr. Rosedale’s patients can attest. You’ll find inspiring stories from them—and the power to control your weight and improve your health—in this groundbreaking book.
