Engagement in care, viral suppression, drug resistance and reasons for non-engagement after home-based same-day ART initiation in Lesotho: a two-year... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The CASCADE trial showed that compared to usual care (UC), offering same-day (SD) ART during home-based HIV testing improved engagement in care and viral suppression 12 months after diagno
Analysis of hepatobiliary disorder reports associated with the use of herbal medicines in the global suspected ADR database Vigibase (Publications)
Introduction: Use of herbal medicines (HMs) is widespread across the world, with many people relying on HMs for their primary healthcare or using HMs in the context of a healthy life style. HMs origin
Synthesis, <em>in-vitro</em> antiprotozoal activity and molecular docking study of isothiocyanate derivatives (Publications)
Novel isothiocyanate derivatives were synthesized starting from noscapine, bile acids, amino acids, and some aromatic compounds. Antiparasitic activities of the synthesized derivatives were tested aga
