Malaria: An Update
@article{Basu2017MalariaAU, title={Malaria: An Update}, author={Srikanta Basu and Puneet Kaur Sahi}, journal={The Indian Journal of Pediatrics}, year={2017}, volume={84}, pages={521-528} }
India is endemic for malaria with unstable transmission inhibiting the development of immunity and predisposing all age groups to the disease. Children under five are the greatest sufferers with maximum mortality. P. falciparum and P. vivax cause majority of cases. Fever is the cardinal symptom, though no set of signs and symptoms reliably distinguishes malaria from other causes of fever. In all suspected cases parasitological diagnosis should be confirmed before starting the treatment…

Development of lipid matrix tablets containing a double fixed dose combination of artemisone and lumefantrine
- Medicine, Biology
- 2018
Artemisone, an artemisinin derivative, signifies a new class of antimalarial drugs that is an effective blood schizontocide against strains of drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria and Lumefantrine was chosen as the long acting drug that has poor aqueous solubility, is highly lipophilic and depicts erratic absorption, leading to poor bioavailability.

The findings of this study demonstrate that ethnicity and parasitemia are important independent risk factors for severe falciparum malaria in adults from malaria-nonendemic countries and that a history of previous clinical malaria significantly reduces the risk of WHO-defined severefalcipareum malaria.

The review found the studies to be fairly consistent in that a well-prepared dentally fit force can expect 150 to 200 dental casualties per 1,000 soldiers per year, although maxillofacial cases have remained steady at 25%, dental disease has decreased and endodontic cases have had a corresponding increase.
