This supplementary DVD was made in response to the WHO endorsing the use
of intradermal vaccination as a way of rabies prevention. We interview
experts at the Thai Red Cross in Bangkok, and the WHO, RITM and San Lazaro
Hospital in Manila as well as explore the technique of intradermal
vaccination itself.

These dreadful diseases, easily prevented by active immunisation
programmes,
are still rife in many less fortunate parts of the world.
On
this DVD, we explore these two diseases with the help of specialists in
Ho Chin Minh City, Vietnam and San Lazaro Hospital, Manila, the
Philippines. A total of 10 cases of tetanus, and five of diphtheria well
illustrate the horror of these preventable diseases. Discussions also
consider the pathophysiology of these classical diseases and immunisation
programmes.

This DVD gets close to giving the viewer real clinical experience
of these
classical and preventable infectious diseases.
Measles is one of the most infectious diseases known, with a significant
morbidity and mortality, especially in the malnourished. The main features
of five cases are demonstrated and treatment discussed. Then seven cases
of chickenpox (Varicella) are shown, ranging from a trivial illness in
young children to severe disseminated chickenpox in adults. This is
followed by a discussion of many of the issues relating to immunisation,
and important aspects of treatment. Finally, Dr Heath presents a child
with a streptococcal rash, who has also had meningococcal septicaemia; and
in the context of this child and another case discusses classical Scarlet
Fever, as well as meningococcal disease and its early recognition.

Two doctors explore the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, through the
eyes of three of their patients in Hong Kong. A Caucasian American
businessman presented with pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, and also has
cytomegalovirus and oral candidiasis, and incipient cerebral atrophy. A
Chinese man presented with Penicillium marneffei pneumonia, and has major
anxieties about his family discovering that he has AIDS and is homosexual.
J J Chan, a Hong Kong disc jockey who presented with pneumocystis, has
eosinophilic folliculitis and now advanced Kaposi's sarcoma. He went
public to help increase awareness of AIDS and its prevention in Hong Kong.
Together these men illustrate many of the physical and psychological
problems of this disease in people with access to advanced medical
services. The DVD also illustrates on a slide presentation many of the
cutaneous and other manifestations of AIDS, and the DVD concludes with a
new discussion of the general principles of its management and prevention,
and how the field has changed in the nine years since the patients were
filmed.

Tuberculosis is one of the opportunistic infections to which AIDS patients
are especially vulnerable, because they fail to mount an adequate immune
response. Their concomitant spread has been associated with the widespread
development of multi-drug resistance of tuberculosis. On this DVD we
examine their prevention and management both separately and together,
concentrating on the plight of children in the developing world, and also
hear of the programme in Thailand for the prevention of mother to child
transmission of AIDS.

Dengue is caused by four strains of a RNA flavivirus, transmitted by the
daytime biting Aedes mosquito, and is primarily a disease of the tropics
and subtropics. Thought for long to be a benign infection, the past 50
years has seen a global explosion in Dengue and its complications.
Increasing urbanization, crowding and travel mean that we now have a
pandemic; furthermore dengue is now considered by WHO to be a serious
disease of global importance. On this DVD we see patients at various
stages and of varying degrees of severity, presented by doctors in Manila
and Bangkok, and we then hear about the aetiology, prevention, detection,
pathophysiology and management of Dengue and Dengue Shock Syndrome.

On this DVD we consider all relevant aspects of Helicobacter pylori
with the help of authorities in this field.
The Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2005 has been awarded to Warren and
Mitchell for the discovery of Helicobacter pylori and its central role in
gastro-duodenal disease. On this DVD we consider all relevant aspects of
Helicobacter pylori with the help of authorities in this field. We first
look at four representative cases undergoing upper GI endoscopy followed
by an informative clinical discussion. The second part of the DVD is a
detailed discussion with Professor Joseph Sung and Dr Frances Chan, in
which we explore important recent developments, including the relevance
between H. Pylori and patients treated with Asprin and NSAIDs,
non-specific dyspepsia, stomach cancer and difficult antibiotic regimens.
As an appendix, we have a demonstration of the cleaning of the endoscope
(of especial importance for theatre nurses).

Hepatitis B is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in many parts of
the world, with its vertical transmission from mother to child, and its
capacity to cause cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Immune
tolerance, especially in the young plays a major role in chronicity, and
ultimately fatal complications. The cases and discussion cover many of the
important advances in its understanding and treatment including the use of
antiviral drugs, and immunisation. Hepatitis E on the other hand is caused
by a food-born RNA virus and the case shown on this DVD was in a patient
with chronic hepatitis B.

The DVD first shows a typical case of hepatitis A, illustrating the
importance of active immunisation. Hepatitis C, also due to an RNA virus,
is quite different in its pathophysiology, being mainly bloodborne, and
susceptible to chronicity and ultimately leading to hepatocellular
carcinoma. The cases shown and the expert discussions illustrate most of
the important aspects of this disease and its (still unsatisfactory)
treatment with pegylated interferon and antiviral drugs. Finally, we see
and discuss a case of alcoholic hepatitis, and another patient with a
classical flapping tremor of liver failure

Leprosy is caused by an acid-fast bacillus, and among the communicable
diseases is traditionally associated with the greatest fear and social
stigma. It affects mainly the skin, and peripheral nerves, and carries the
greatest potential for permanent, progressive and obvious disfiguration
and disability. In the early stages it is now curable, and on this DVD we
learn about all aspects of the disease through presentation and discussion
of 14 patients filmed with experts in China and India.

Falciparum malaria is a continuing scourge throughout the tropical world,
and a disease with which all doctors should be thoroughly familiar, in
these days of extensive air travel.
Dr Arnold, was a leading researcher in
clinical management of malaria, and is filmed with staff at the Centre for
Tropical Diseases in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where important research
in the use of the Artimisinin derivatives, derived from a traditional
Chinese remedy Qing Hao, was conducted. First some cases are presented,
including one with cerebral malaria (Glasgow Coma score test
demonstrated); then the technique of diagnosis including staining of thin
and thick blood DVDs is shown, and the parasites of P.falciparum and
vivax illustrated. There is then a full discussion with Dr Arnold, with
the life cycle of the parasite well illustrated, and treatment and
prevention discussed, followed by an updated discussion with world expert
in Malaria Professor Sornchai Loowaresan on its prevention and treatment.

Dr Khanh is a paediatric neurologist with great experience of polio. On
this DVD he presents two infants, the first a 13-month old boy with pure
motor paralysis due to classical acute poliomyelitis, and asymmetrical
paralysis of the lower limbs; and the second a three year old boy with
symmetrical distal limb weakness due to Guillain-Barr? syndrome. The
clinical features are well presented, and the differential diagnosis and
management fully discussed. The DVD concludes with new discussions on
immunisation strategies against poliomyelitis in developing and developed
countries, and the relative merits and risks of live oral versus inactive
polio vaccines.

Most people consider rabies to be a disease of importance solely in the
developing world, but it is in fact ubiquitous and remains a perpetual
threat even in developed countries. In India alone 30,000 people die from
the disease each year, half of them children. Once symptoms (hydrophobia
aerophobia or paralysis) have developed death is inevitable. On this DVD
we see graphic cases of rabies and talk to experts from India and the
United States about the signs and symptoms, its primary and secondary
prevention, different immunisation regimes (especially intradermal), and
the dog management programme in India.
