- BookHenri F. Julien, editor.Summary: A very handy practical book written by French doctors specialised in disaster medicine, this guide offers their core experience condensed in 50 small, easily digestible chapters. Each chapter is designed to enable the reader to "know", "understand", and learn what to "do" in the concerned situation, ensuring the crucial information is easily on hand and available. Facing disasters, whether natural or man-made, technological or social, what are the risks and the consequences of such hazards on victims? What kind of care to provide? How to get organised, to have the appropriate resources, and to protect oneself as a responder? The French emergency and healthcare preparedness has followed a unique path. The responding medical doctors have followed in the footsteps of Dominique Larrey, a military surgeon and the father of emergency medicine. For him, the on-scene presence of doctors is paramount to organise the entire healthcare and emergency response, an innovative method that has proven its efficacy. This book is intended for all healthcare and emergency staff, doctors, paramedics or first aiders in ambulances or in emergency services who might come to deal with a massive influx of injured, poisoned, or traumatised victims. The management of multiple concomitant emergencies requires specific know-how and skills. May this guide contribute to the dissemination of a validated French know-how and thus to save lives and alleviate suffering.

Transmission in Disasters. - ArticleWesenberg F, Tönder O.Acta Pathol Microbiol Scand C. 1978 Oct;86C(5):251-8.Heat eluates of homogenized human malignant and normal tissues were prepared using the continuous flow elution technique. IgG antibodies to rabbit erythrocytes served as marker antibodies for non-specifically bound IgG. Eluates of all of the 13 malignant tumours tested contained IgG. Most were eluted at 56C, but considerable amounts also at 37C and 45C. Marker antibodies were present in eluates of 4 of the tumours, indicating that at least parts of the IgG associated with malignant human tumours are non-specifically bound. Eight tumours contained too little IgG to detect marker antibodies, and one contained high amounts of IgG without marker antibodies. Eluates of normal organs contained either no or only small amounts of IgG, although apparently normal kidneys from older individuals contained some more IgG. Marker antibodies were detected in some of the eluates indicating non-specific binding.
