Epidemiological links between malaria parasitaemia and hypertension: findings from a population-based survey in rural Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Although potential links between malaria parasitaemia and hypertension have been hypothesized, there is paucity of epidemiologic evidence on this link. We investigated in a population-base
Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of new 1-(Aryl-1<em>H</em>-pyrrolyl)(phenyl)methyl-1<em>H</em>-imidazole derivatives as antiprotozoal... (Publications)
We have designed and synthesized a series of new imidazole-based compounds structurally related to an antiprotozoal agent with nanomolar activity which we identified recently. The new analogs possess
