Background: Ischemic cerebral infarction is a severe clinical condition that can cause serious mortality. Artesunate, an anti-malarial drug that is widely used in cancer treatment, is known to facilitate accelerated cell apoptosis. The aim of this study is to explore the possible neuroprotective
Ischemic heart disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western world. Artesunate is the WHO-recommended drug of choice for complicated malaria (with organ failure). The administration of high doses of artesunate is safe in healthy volunteers (up to 8 mg/kg i.v.) and

Splenic infarct is a rare complication in Plasmodium vivax malaria. We report a case of splenic infarction with acute kidney injury in a case of P. vivax malaria in a 13-year-old male child who presented to the emergency department with severe pain in the left hypochondrium. The patient was managed
An 11-year-old girl presented with Plasmodium vivax malaria complicated by shock and acute renal failure. The diagnosis of malaria was based on demonstration of trophozoites of P. vivax in the peripheral blood smear and a positive rapid malarial antigen test for P. vivax but negative for P.
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death worldwide that also result in long-term disability. Endogenous neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) within subventricular (SVZ) and dentate gyrus (DG) zone, stimulated by cerebral infarction, can promote neural function recovery. However, the
Artesunate is a semi-synthetic derivative of artemisinin that is used in the treatment of patients with malaria. Artesunate has also been reported to exert immune‑regulatory, antitumor, hepatoprotective, anti‑inflammatory and smooth muscle relaxing functions. The present study aimed to investigate
Portable chemiluminescence (CL) imaging with a smartphone has shown a great promise for point-of-care testing of diseases, especially for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) which may occur abruptly. A challenge remains how to improve the imaging sensitivity that usually is several orders of magnitude
