Snake Envenoming: A Disease of Poverty
TL;DR: This study unequivocally demonstrates that snake envenoming is a disease of the poor, and the negative association between snakebite deaths and government expenditure on health confirms that the burden of mortality is highest in those countries least able to deal with the considerable financial cost of snakebite.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that loss of EPCR and TM at sites of IE cytoadherence is detectible in nonfatal CM and these data implicate disruption of the endothelial protective properties at vulnerable sites and particularly in the brain, linking coagulation and inflammation with IE sequestration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macrofilaricidal activity after doxycycline only treatment of Onchocerca volvulus in an area of Loa loa co-endemicity: a randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: Doxycycline is well tolerated in patients co-infected with moderate intensities of L. loa parasitaemias and the viability of female adult worms was significantly reduced in doxycycline treated groups and the macrofilaricidal and sterilising activity was unaffected by the addition of ivermectin.
Journal ArticleDOI
