    An estimated 80 million people live with a neurodegenerative disease, with this number expected to double by 2050. Despite decades of research and billions in funding, there are no medications that can slow, much less stop, the progress of these diseases. The time to rethink degenerative brain disorders has come. 
     
     
     
    With no biological boundaries between neurodegenerative diseases, illnesses such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's result from a large spectrum of biological abnormalities, hampering effective treatment. Acclaimed neurologist Dr. Alberto Espay and Parkinson's advocate Benjamin Stecher present compelling evidence that these diseases should be targeted according to genetic and molecular signatures rather than clinical diagnoses. There is no Parkinson's or Alzheimer's, simply people with Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. An incredibly important story never before told, Brain Fables is a wakeup call to the scientific community and society, explaining why we have no effective disease-modifying treatments, and how we can get back on track.

    Cure Unknown - Inside the Lyme...

    This history of Lyme disease is “a tale of biological complexities, scientific turf battles, political intrigue, human egos, and money—lots of it” (Sacramento Bee). 
     
    Winner, American Medical Writers Association Book Award 
     
    When Pamela Weintraub, a science journalist, learned that her oldest son tested positive for Lyme disease, she thought she had found an answer to the symptoms that had been plaguing her family for years—but her nightmare had just begun. Almost everything about Lyme disease turned out to be deeply controversial, from the microbe causing the infection to the length and type of treatment and the kind of practitioner needed. 
     
    On one side of the fight, the scientists who first studied Lyme describe a disease transmitted by a deer tick that is hard to catch but easy to cure no matter how advanced the case. On the other side, rebel doctors insist that Lyme and a soup of “co-infections” cause a complicated spectrum of illness often dramatically different—and far more difficult to treat—than the original researchers claim. Instead of just swollen knees and a rash, patients can experience exhaustion, disabling pain, and a “Lyme fog” that leaves them dazed and confused. As patients struggle for answers, once-treatable infections become chronic. 
     
    In this nuanced picture of the intense controversy and crippling uncertainty surrounding Lyme disease, Pamela Weintraub sheds light on one of the angriest medical disputes raging today. The most comprehensive book ever written about the past, present, and future of Lyme disease, Cure Unknown exposes the ticking clock of a raging epidemic and the vulnerability we all share.

    “A thoroughly researched and well-written account of the disease’s controversial history.” —Jane Brody, The New York Times 
     
    “A comprehensive and compassionate guide to a dreaded illness named after a bucolic, tick-infested town on Long Island Sound.” —Hartford Courant

    Epidemiology - Tracking Diseases

    Epidemiology is the scientific study of the distribution, patterns, and determinants of health and disease conditions in populations. It serves as the cornerstone of public health, enabling researchers and policymakers to understand how diseases spread, who is most at risk, and what factors contribute to health outcomes. By identifying these elements, epidemiology helps in designing and implementing effective disease prevention and control measures, ultimately improving public health and reducing the burden of illnesses. 
    The significance of epidemiology lies in its ability to provide a systematic approach to studying health-related issues. Through observation, data collection, and statistical analysis, epidemiologists uncover trends in disease occurrence and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. This discipline extends beyond infectious diseases, encompassing chronic conditions, environmental health hazards, and even social determinants of health. By examining these factors, epidemiologists can offer insights into the root causes of health disparities and develop strategies to mitigate them. 
    One of the key contributions of epidemiology is its role in disease surveillance. Monitoring the spread of infectious diseases, such as influenza, tuberculosis, or COVID-19, allows health authorities to implement timely responses, including vaccinations, quarantine measures, and public health advisories. Without epidemiology, controlling outbreaks and minimizing their impact on society would be significantly more challenging.
