Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDihydroartemisinin-Stimulated Hyperplasia of Rat Lung Smooth MusclesUtoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu AnastasiaProblem statement: Dihydroartemisinin was shown to produce two types of inhibitory effects on the cardiac muscles of rats. It was also shown to stimulate haemopoiesis in the lungs, liver, spleen, intestine and kidney of rats. This study attempted to find out the nature of the effect of oral dihydroartemisinin on the lungs of Wistar albino rats. Approach: The effects of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 8 Dec 2011 · 7,024 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Identification of Local Soil Bacteria with Larvicidal Activities Against Aedes aegypti LarvaeNaif Mohammed Alotaibi, Saber Abdelkader Saïdi, Mohamed Mohamed Roushdy et al.Mosquito-borne diseases caused by infected mosquitoes like dengue fever, Zika fever, Chikungunya and malaria are spread to humans through biting causing disease epidemics all over the world. This indicates the necessity for new mosquito-borne disease control strategies in Saudi Arabia and internationally. This study evaluated the potential of local bacteria isolated from the soil of the Rahat region of Makkah, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 14 Dec 2022 · 5,411 accessesView PDFCite
Letters to the EditorOpen accessIn the abstractIs Hydroxychloroquine a Safe and Effective Choice for Covid-19 ProphylaxisRodrigo Moisés de Almeida-Leite, Tais Rondello Bonatti, Carolina Rodrigues Ponzoni et al.The authors speculate about the possibility of Hydroxychloroquine as Covid-19 Phrophylaxis in the dose of 400 mg per week. The authors compared the experience of Malaria phrophylaxis in this dose, with acceptable safety profile. Also, we compared in vitro susceptibility of SARS-Cov-2 with that of Plasmodium falciparum. This agent show significant higher potency for the first. Also, the extended Half-life … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 29 Jul 2020 · 7,048 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSurvival Analysis of Data of HIV Infected Persons Receiving Antiretroviral Therapy Using a Model-Based Binary Tree ApproachSimon Tiendrébéogo, Blaise Somé, Séni Kouanda, Simplice Dossou-GbétéDiscrete-time approach is used in survival data analysis when only the time interval in which the event of interest has occurred is known or when this event occurs in a discrete - time scale. The work presented in this paper is motivated by the analysis of HIV/AIDS follow-up data collected in Burkina Faso during the 5-YEAR Global Fund program implemented … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 24 Dec 2019 · 6,495 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapies on Lipids and Hepatorenal Circulating Indices in Guinea PigsAbaram Chesa Mankwe, Jonah Sydney Aprioku, Atuboyedia Wolfe ObianimeArtemisinin-based Combination Therapies (ACTs) are employed as first-line agents in malaria chemotherapy. In many malaria endemic areas, ACTs are frequently abused partly due to resistance, poor drug control and inadequate health facilities. This study investigated the effects of prolong administration of Artesunate-Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine (ATS-SP), Artesunate-Amodiaquine (ATS-Amod) and Artemether-Lumefantrine (ATM-Lum) on plasma levels of biochemical parameters (AST, ALT, ALP, urea and creatinine) … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2017 · 7,282 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Pesticide Residue in Dams and Well Water in Jazan Area, Saudi ArabiaHasan Y. Al-Hatim, Deifalla Alrajhi, Abdul Jabbar Al-RajabThe application of pesticides indoors and on agricultural lands increased dramatically in recent years in the Jazan area (Saudi Arabia) to control termites and the vectors of diseases, such as Rift Valley Fever (RVF) and malaria. This practice increased the potential risk of pesticide contamination of surface water and groundwater. In this study, samples of 44 wells and 3 dams … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 3 Nov 2015 · 7,943 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAspergillus Niger Metabolites Efficacies Against the Mosquito Larval (Culex Quinquefasciatus, Anopheles Stephensi and Aedes Aegypti) Population after Column ChromatographyNamita Soni, Soam PrakashProblem statement: Mosquito is a very common vector of several tropical diseases such as malaria, filariasis, dengue and chikungunya. Till todate, many xenobiotics have been used to control mosquito population and protect people from mosquito born diseases but increasing rate of resistance against these xenobiotics is a major concern in the disease control management. In contrast, extensive use of these … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 21 Dec 2011 · 15,205 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractErythropoietin-Like Effects of Dihydroartemisinin in Wistar Albino RatsUtoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu Anastasia, Nedosa Kenechi Stanislaus, Onyedibe Ikenna KennethArtemisinin drugs were active during the intra-erythrocytic stage of malaria parasite infection. The activity of artemisinin and synthetic endoperoxides was related to their interaction with heme. The electrophillic intermediate formed from artemisinin in the presence of heme alkylates the protein portion of hemoglobin preferentially to the heme portion. Problem statement: Since there might be an interaction between artemisinin and the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2011 · 7,785 accessesView PDFCite
