Isolated perinephric abscess as the initial manifestation of filariasis—an unusual presentation

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2024.
Graphical Abstract Key Clinical Message Filariasis may present as an isolated perinephric abscess. Hence, a high index of suspicion should be maintained in endemic settings. Abstract In cases with unexplained fever, eosinophilia and perinephric collection, it is necessary to do detailed infectious disease work up. High index of suspicion is required to

Clarifying the complex chemistry of cobalt(II) thiocyanate‐based tests for cocaine using single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and spectroscopic techniques

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 69, Issue 1, Page 291-300, January 2024.
Abstract Cobalt(II) thiocyanate‐based tests are routinely used to screen cocaine products, with the formation of a blue species interpreted as a positive response. An array of other organic bases has been identified as false positives – including well‐documented cocaine product adulterant lidocaine and its salt.

The use of variable temperature 13 C solid-state MAS NMR and GIPAW DFT calculations to explore the dynamics of diethylcarbamazine citrate [PDF]

, 2018
Experimental 13C solid‐state magic‐angle spinning (MAS) NMR as well as DFT (gauge‐including projector augmented wave) GIPAW calculations were used to probe disorder and local mobility in diethylcarbamazine citrate, (DEC)+(citrate)‐.

In Vitro Filaricidal Properties of Aqueous Extracts of Combretum nigricans (Combretaceae) on Onchocerca ochengi (Onchocercidae)

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Aim. Onchocerciasis is an endemic parasitic disease in sub‐Saharan Africa that significantly impacts animal and human health. In Northern Cameroon, medicinal plants from the Combretum genus are used for onchocerciasis traditional treatment although there is no scientific evidence of their antifilarial potential. This study evaluates the in vitro macro‐

Diagnosis of O. volvulus infection via skin exposure to diethylcarbamazine: clinical evaluation of a transdermal delivery technology-based patch

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Elimination of onchocerciasis in Africa is now regarded as an achievable goal in many areas. This makes monitoring changes in infection prevalence a key component of control programmes. Monitoring is currently based on determining the presence

The Significance of Stochastic CTMC Over Deterministic Model in Understanding the Dynamics of Lymphatic Filariasis With Asymptomatic Carriers

Journal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Lymphatic filariasis is a leading cause of chronic and irreversible damage to human immunity. This paper presents deterministic and continuous‐time Markov chain (CTMC) stochastic models regarding lymphatic filariasis dynamics. To account for randomness and uncertainties in dynamics, the CTMC model was formulated based on deterministic model possible ...
