Inflammatory response, plasma albumin, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, and packed cell volume in relationship with the degree of anemia and gestational age in HbAA anemic pregnant women

Biomedical and Biotechnology Research Journal, 2021
Background: Anemia in pregnancy which may be mild, moderate, or severe is a common physiological disorder that can lead to poor pregnancy outcome which may be primary or secondary to problems associated with hepatic, renal, and immune system which may be

Malaria in children of Tshimbulu (Western Kasai, Democratic Republic of the Congo): epidemiological data and accuracy of diagnostic assays applied in a limited resource setting [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: The literature data on malaria in Western Kasai, DRC, are limited and inadequate. A recent molecular survey there has detected Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae as mixed infections with Plasmodium falciparum.

A small mitochondrial protein present in myzozoans is essential for malaria transmission [PDF]

Open Biology, 2016
Myzozoans (which include dinoflagellates, chromerids and apicomplexans) display notable divergence from their ciliate sister group, including a reduced mitochondrial genome and divergent metabolic processes.

Structural insights into Plasmodium PPIases

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Malaria is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases posing a serious challenge over the years, mainly owing to the emergence of drug-resistant strains, sparking a need to explore and identify novel protein targets.

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Solar Geoengineering Effects on Malaria Transmission Risk in South Asia Under G6sulfur Scenario

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Comparison of EIR (unit: No of infected bites per person per day) for each considered country in South Asia, under the considered scenarios, averaged over the period 2020–2090. A regression equation is shown for each country (for Bhutan EIRG = 0.1690 × 10−10 EIRS + 0.5968 × 10−12) to illustrate the projected trend.

The role of pfmdr1 in Plasmodium falciparum tolerance to artemether-lumefantrine in Africa [PDF]

, 2007
Objective Artemether-lumefantrine (AL), presently the most favoured combination therapy against uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Africa, has recently shown to select for the pfmdr1 86N allele.

Pupil Plane Multiplexing for Vectorial Fourier Ptychography

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This study proposes a cost‐effective, modality‐adaptive multichannel microscopy framework using pupil‐plane multiplexing. A custom pupil aperture at the Fourier plane encodes channel‐specific transfer functions with spectral or polarization filters, and model‐based reconstruction with channel‐dependent priors decodes them.
