TL;DR: This study proposes a new and robust machine learning model based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) to automatically classify single cells in thin blood smears on standard microscope slides as either infected or uninfected.

TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective observational study was conducted to determine the normal range of ONSD in healthy Bangladeshi adults and children, comparing measurements in males and females, horizontal and vertical beam orientations and left and right eyes in the same individual and to determine whether ONSD varies with head circumference independent of age.

TL;DR: A genetic mixing index is developed to estimate the likelihood of samples being local or imported from parasite genetic data and the direction and intensity of parasite flow between locations is inferred using an epidemiological model integrating the travel survey and mobile phone calling data.

TL;DR: Vital organ dysfunction in severe malaria results primarily from sequestration of parasitized erythrocytes in the microvasculature rather than reduction in circulating blood volume and oxygen delivery.

TL;DR: Retinal changes related to microvascular obstruction were common in adults with severe falciparum malaria and correlated with disease severity and coma, suggesting that a compromised microcirculation has important pathophysiological significance in severe and cerebral malaria.
