BACKGROUND
Severe malaria is a potentially life-threatening infectious disease. It has been conclusively shown that artesunate compared to quinine is superior in antiparasitic efficacy and in lowering mortality showing a better short-term safety profile. Regarding longer-term effects, reports of
1. Patch clamp studies of whole-cell ionic currents and biochemical studies of proliferation were carried out on Schwann cells of myelinated axons in explant segments of sciatic nerves of adult rabbit maintained in culture for 0-10 days. 2. Schwann cell proliferation, as assayed by [3H]thymidine
Accruing evidence indicates that connexin (Cx) channels in the gap junctions (GJ) are involved in neurodegeneration after injury. However, studies using KO animal models endowed apparently contradictory results in relation to the role of coupling in neuroprotection. We analyzed the role of
The lowered vision of a patient was attributed to an acute quinidine intoxication, although his condition differed from that of another patient with an acute quinine intoxication. Later, the uncle of the first patient showed lowered vision too, possibly due to a tobacco-alcohol neuropathy. Both
The effects of quinine and a 9-phenanthrenemethanol, WR 122,455 on the fine structure of Plasmodium berghei have been investigated. Changes consequent upon quinine treatment were noted in the outer membranes (including those that surround the "food vacuole") and the digestive vacuoles. These changes
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of acute quinine poisoning, document acute and chronic macular changes with optical coherence tomography imaging and fluorescein angiography (FA), and to review the literature on ocular toxicity of quinine.
METHODS
A 32-year-old white female presented to our Emergency
The compound action potential (CAP) in response to a click train stimulus was recorded at the round window of guinea pigs. Administration of quinine hydrochloride (200 mg/kg) significantly elevated the CAP thresholds by 5 to 25 dB (p < .05), and the CAP waveform elicited by the click train stimulus
An in vitro designed for determining sensitivity of Plasmodium falciparum strains isolated from Kanchanaburi Province, to Mefloquine/Quinine combination, was carried out. The MIC values of Mefloquine/Quinine for the P.falciparum strains were found to be 0.075/3.75 to 0.225/11.15 nM/ml. The changes
We report the case of an HIV-positive Nigerian man on antiretroviral therapy (ART) with an undetectable viral load who presented with rigors, fever and back pain after returning to the UK from a three-week trip to Nigeria. Infection with Plasmodium falciparum malaria was confirmed and treatment with
OBJECTIVE
To compare the safety and efficacy of quinine given by the rectal route with quinine given by the intramuscular route in children with moderately severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
METHODS
Randomised, open, clinical trial.
METHODS
Health centre in Burkina Faso.
METHODS
898 children with
