The role of mathematical modelling in malaria elimination and eradication (Comment on: Can malaria be eliminated?)

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2009
بالنسبة للعديد من البلدان، كما يشير البروفيسور غرينوود، فإن الإجابة على سؤاله هي "نعم" مدوية .1 ربما يكون السؤال الأكثر صلة هو، مع وجود العديد من التدخلات المتاحة الآن، "كيف ؟". أهم أداتين جديدتين تمت إضافتهما إلى ترسانتنا لمكافحة الملاريا منذ الخمسينيات هما العلاجات المركبة من مادة الأرتيميسينين والناموسيات المعالجة بالمبيدات الحشرية.

Supra and subgingival application of antiseptics or antibiotics during periodontal therapy

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) are characterized by inflammatory processes which arise as a result of disruption of the balance in the oral ecosystem. According to the current S3 level clinical practice guidelines, therapy of patients with periodontitis involves a stepwise approach that includes the control of the patient ...

Routine delivery of artemisinin-based combination treatment at fixed health facilities reduces malaria prevalence in Tanzania: an observational study. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) has been promoted as a means to reduce malaria transmission due to their ability to kill both asexual blood stages of malaria parasites, which sustain infections over long periods and the immature ...
