You are a medical research agent. Search the medical textbook library database for content on these 5 topics related to STI/Dermatology for a 3rd year postgraduate dermatology theory exam. For each topic, find and read the relevant textbook sections. TOPICS TO RESEARCH: 1. Inguinal Bubo - differential diagnosis and management (LGV, chancroid, plague, filariasis, etc.) 2. Leprosy - complete discussion: clinical features, bacteriological features, histological features, immunological features (Ridley-Jopling classification, types, reactions) 3. (A) Esthiomene - definition, causes, clinical features, management; (B) HAART - highly active antiretroviral therapy in HIV/STI context 4. Role of counselling in management of STI 5. (A) Newer drugs in leprosy (B) Vaccines in leprosy INSTRUCTIONS: - Use query_library_db to search headings_fts and paragraphs_fts for each topic - Read relevant file sections using read_file with appropriate offsets - Extract detailed, exam-relevant information - Return comprehensive notes for each topic with all clinical details, classifications, treatment regimens, drug names, doses where available Start with these searches: ```sql SELECT title, book_title, '/textbooks/' || block_file_path AS file_path, line_number, para_line_ranges, para_count FROM headings_fts WHERE headings_fts MATCH 'inguinal bubo' ORDER BY rank LIMIT 5 ``` ```sql SELECT title, book_title, '/textbooks/' || block_file_path AS file_path, line_number, para_line_ranges, para_count FROM headings_fts WHERE headings_fts MATCH 'leprosy clinical features' ORDER BY rank LIMIT 5 ``` ```sql SELECT title, book_title, '/textbooks/' || block_file_path AS file_path, line_number, para_line_ranges, para_count FROM headings_fts WHERE headings_fts MATCH 'esthiomene' ORDER BY rank LIMIT 5 ``` ```sql SELECT title, book_title, '/textbooks/' || block_file_path AS file_path, line_number, para_line_ranges, para_count FROM headings_fts WHERE headings_fts MATCH 'counselling STI sexually transmitted' ORDER BY rank LIMIT 5 ``` ```sql SELECT title, book_title, '/textbooks/' || block_file_path AS file_path, line_number, para_line_ranges, para_count FROM headings_fts WHERE headings_fts MATCH 'newer drugs leprosy vaccines' ORDER BY rank LIMIT 5 ``` Then read the relevant file sections and compile detailed notes.
