Albendazole and mebendazole administered alone or in combination with Ivermectin against <em>Trichuris trichiura</em>: a randomized controlled trial (Publications)
ivermectin statistically significantly increased the CRs from 14% to 47% (odds ratio, 0.19; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.12-0.28). The highest egg reduction rate (97%; 95% CI, 95%-98%) was observed using the

genotypes (P = 0.005 and P = 0.006). In this study, the genotype combination of AG at CFH with CT at FZD4 (SNP rs10898563) promised an increased chance of positive treatment outcome (P = 0.004). Furthermore
Turkish freshwater and marine macrophyte extracts show in vitro antiprotozoal activity and inhibit FabI, a key enzyme of <em>Plasmodium... (Publications)
extracts of C. glomerata and U. lactuca efficiently inhibited the FabI enzyme with IC(50) values of 1.0 and 4.0mug/ml, respectively. None of the extracts were cytotoxic towards mammalian L6 cells. This work reports [...] potential. The best antileishmanial activity was exerted by U. lactuca and P. oceanica (IC(50)'s 5.9 and 8.0mug/ml, respectively). Five extracts that demonstrated inhibitory activity towards P. falciparum (IC(50)'s

The incidence of chronic phlegm increased [...] exposed to mineral dust (relative risk, 1.94 [1.29-2.91]) and gases and fumes (relative risk, 1.53 [0.99-2.36]), which was not modified by smoking. CONCLUSION: Occupational exposures to dusts, gases, and
