Cerebral Malaria

Brain Pathology, 1997
Malaria infection of the Central Nervous System (CNS) can cause a severe neurological syndrome termed Cerebral Malaria (CM). The central neuropathological feature of CM is the preferential sequestration of parasitised red blood cells (PRBC) in the cerebral microvasculature.

Hypoglycaemia and cerebral malaria [PDF]

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1986
Summary A patient with severe hypoglycaemia complicating cerebral malaria is reported. No other recognized cause of hypoglycaemia was detected during life or at autopsy. This case adds to the existing evidence that, through several possible mechanisms, cerebral malaria can give rise to life-threatening hypoglycaemia.

Diagnosing Severe Falciparum Malaria in Parasitaemic African Children: A Prospective Evaluation of Plasma PfHRP2 Measurement. [PDF]

, 2012
In African children, distinguishing severe falciparum malaria from other severe febrile illnesses with coincidental Plasmodium falciparum parasitaemia is a major challenge. P. falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2) is released by mature sequestered

Characterization of Neuropsychiatric Conditions in United States Resettled Refugees at a Single Academic Center

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Neuropsychiatric diseases are common among forcibly displaced persons, and a better understanding is needed to improve screening and treatment efforts. We performed a retrospective cross‐sectional study at a single academic center looking at neuropsychiatric diagnoses of United States resettled refugees presenting for their domestic medical examination.

Gene expression profiling in blood from cerebral malaria patients and mild malaria patients living in Senegal

BMC Medical Genomics, 2019
Background Plasmodium falciparum malaria remains a major health problem in Africa. The mechanisms of pathogenesis are not fully understood. Transcriptomic studies may provide new insights into molecular pathways involved in the severe form of the disease.

From silence to academic engagement: How refugee children with disabilities access learning through inclusive ‘artful’ schools in Canada

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Many newcomer children spend a ‘silent year’ in elementary school classrooms while they adjust to a new culture and language. This often delays inclusion in learning and forming friendships with peers. For refugee children with disabilities (RCDs) this phase may last for 3 years or more, impacting their mental health and sense of belonging ...
