Safety and benefits of interventions to increase folate status in malaria-endemic areas. [PDF]

, 2017
For decades, folic acid has routinely been given to prevent or treat anaemia in children, pregnant women and people with sickle cell disease. However, there is no conclusive evidence that folate deficiency anaemia constitutes a public health problem in ...

Climate change and resilience of the Senegalese health system in the face of the floods in Keur Massar

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 1840-1859, November 2024.
Abstract This article is based on the observation that the affected populations perceive existing community‐based adaptation strategies to the health effects of floods differently. We explore the resilience of the local health system to climate change (CC) in Keur Massar (Senegal) using a monographic approach based on a qualitative survey of flooded ...

Cross‐disciplinary mathematical modelling to benefit healthcare – could clinical pharmacology play an enabling role?

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 90, Issue 10, Page 2509-2516, October 2024.
Abstract Clinical pharmacology is often the nexus in any cross‐disciplinary team that is seeking solutions for human healthcare issues. The use and application of real‐world data and artificial intelligence to better understand our ecosystem has influenced our view at the world and how we do things.

Avidity of anti-malarial antibodies inversely related to transmission intensity at three sites in Uganda. [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: People living in malaria endemic areas acquire protection from severe malaria quickly, but protection from clinical disease and control of parasitaemia is acquired only after many years of repeated infections.

Pro‐ and anti‐inflammatory cytokines mediate the progression of severe anemia in malaria‐infected children: A prospective study

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Background Severe Plasmodium falciparum malarial anemia is still the principal cause of death in children in underdeveloped countries. An imbalance between proinflammatory and anti‐inflammatory cytokines is associated with malaria progression.

Measuring the impact of seasonal malaria chemoprevention as part of routine malaria control in Kita, Mali

Malaria Journal, 2017
Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) is a new strategy recommended by WHO in areas of highly seasonal transmission in March 2012. Although randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown SMC to be highly effective, evidence and experience from routine implementation of SMC are limited.A non-randomized pragmatic trial with pre-post design was used ...
