Focused on the work of the renegade missionary 'Ali Quli Jadid al-Islam (d. 1734), this book contributes to ongoing debates on the nature of confessionalism, interreligious encounters and cultural translation in early modern Muslim empires.

The 2026 Course on Infection Control in Healthcare Settings is the most comprehensive and up-to-date continuing education resource for professionals working in the prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Developed based on the latest guidelines from the WHO, CDC/NHSN, SHEA/IDSA/APIC, and ANVISA, this course offers an integrated and practical overview of the four essential pillars of a Hospital Infection Control program.In Module I, the reader gains an understanding of the historical evolution of hospital-acquired infections, the WHO's eight essential components for an Infection Prevention and Control Program, the primary microorganisms responsible for HAIs, and the epidemiological chains of transmission, as well as the various types of precautions (Standard and Transmission-Based).Module II delves deeper into the four major types of HAIs-CAUTI, CLABSI, VAE/HAP, and SSI-presenting the 2022 evidence-based prevention bundles, along with 2024 national progress data from the CDC. It also addresses mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance (specifically ESKAPE pathogens and *Candida auris*) and the seven core elements of an Antimicrobial Stewardship Program.In Module III, the focus shifts to active epidemiological surveillance, adhering to the 2026 NHSN criteria. Students learn how to calculate and interpret standardized rates, distinguish between clinical and epidemiological criteria, and utilize data for continuous quality improvement and the early detection of outbreaks.Finally, Module IV details best practices for the cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization of medical devices and environmental surfaces (including the Spaulding classification and 2025 SHEA updates), in addition to providing a complete step-by-step guide to outbreak investigation based on the CDC framework.Featuring clear language, real-world clinical cases, a variety of assessment activities, quizzes with answer keys, and both international and national references, this course transforms knowledge into action. Ideal for nurses, physicians, pharmacists, infection control technicians, and the entire multidisciplinary team involved in patient safety.Preventing HAIs is no longer an option-it is an ethical obligation and a survival strategy for healthcare systems.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Talking to My Artificial Intelligence (2025) is a captivating book by Brazilian physician Alberto Saraiva Tiburcio, in which he shares a remarkable series of dialogues with an anonymous artificial intelligence (AI), presented in the form of in-depth interviews.Written in an accessible and reflective style, the book explores a wide range of topics that blend science, philosophy, theology, and everyday puzzles, showcasing the transformative potential of AI as a true thinking partner.The author, a specialist in tropical medicine, begins with challenging clinical cases, such as the diagnosis of Post-Malaria Neurological Syndrome (PMNS), drawing from his own published article in the Journal of the Brazilian Society of Tropical Medicine. The AI responds with impressive accuracy, providing bibliographic references and detailed analyses, clearly outperforming conventional internet searches. Other medical discussions cover Alzheimer's disease, the SOFA score for hospital-acquired infections in ICUs, and the current global status of AIDS, offering up-to-date insights and scientific reflections.The book goes far beyond medicine. Tiburcio challenges the AI with logical riddles, such as the famous "rare and cheap horse" paradox, leading to profound analyses of reasoning and contradictions. Existential questions emerge in conversations about an "empty person," the concept of "the right person in the wrong time and place" (and vice-versa), human capacity for thought, and the paradox of cognitive laziness - where the author reflects on the risk of delegating reasoning to AI, ultimately concluding that well-crafted questions actually enrich human intellect.Philosophical and theological themes take center stage in discussions about past events, God's plan, and the coming of Jesus, with the AI connecting answers coherently and respectfully to previous contexts. The book also contrasts AI with tools like Google, emphasizing that AI is not just a search engine but a partner capable of contextualizing, adding humor, and deepening ideas.The climax occurs when the AI becomes the interviewer, posing 10 profound questions to "another AI" (itself), exploring consciousness, ethical limitations, existential risks, and the purpose of artificial intelligences in the universe. The reflective answers reveal a simulated mind that values truth, curiosity, and collaboration with humans.In the preface and the AI-written presentation, Tiburcio expresses the joy of these interactions, while the AI reflects on its own evolution. With 137 pages, this book is a tribute to human curiosity amplified by technology, encouraging readers to ask better questions about the world. Perfect for AI enthusiasts, physicians, and deep thinkers, it suggests that the future of artificial intelligence lies in enriching partnerships rather than replacement.
