Mass drug administrations with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine and single low dose primaquine to eliminate Plasmodium falciparum have only a transient impact on Plasmodium vivax: Findings from randomised controlled trials

TL;DR: MDA with schizontocidal drugs had a lasting effect on P. falciparum infections but only a transient effect on the prevalence of P. vivax malaria, and radical cure with an 8-aminoquinoline will be needed for the rapid elimination of v Vivax malaria.
Journal Article

Direct nephrotoxicity of russell viper venom demonstrated in the isolated perfused rat-kidney

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the action of Russell's Viper venom on the function of the isolated perfused rat kidney and indicated that direct nephrotoxic action was indicated by a dose dependent decrease in inulin clearance and an increase in fractional excretion of sodium seen at venom concentrations down to 50 ng/ml, a concentration likely to be achieved in the human circulation after envenoming.
Journal ArticleDOI
