Background: Zambia has made profound strides in reducing both the incidence and prevalence of malaria followed by reducing malaria related deaths between 2009 and 2018. The number of partners providing malaria funding has significantly increased in the same period. The increasing number of partners and the subsequent reduction of the number of reported malaria cases in the Ministry of Health main data repository Health Management Information System (HMIS) stimulated this research.

Introduction: Malaria exerts a significant economic burden on health care providers and households and our study attempts to make claims on the cost effectiveness of artesunate against quinine in patients under 14 years of age in Zambia. Also, to find the average total costs involved in the treatment of severe malaria in children and their impact on household expenditure.
Methods: Cost-effectiveness analysis of severe malaria treatment was conducted from a healthcare provider perspective using a Markov model.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics and tolerability of salbutamol/ambroxol fixed-dose combination granules following single and multiple dosing in healthy Chinese subjects.
Materials And Methods: This was a randomized, open-label, two-period, one-sequence study (n = 12). Each subject received a single oral dose in period 1 and multiple doses in period 2.
A method is described for the determination of proteins with LC-MS/MS enabled by a small molecule (adenosine) barcode and based on a double-recognition sandwich structure. The coagulation protein thrombin was chosen as the model analyte. Magnetic nanoparticles were functionalized with aptamer29 (MNP/apt29) and used to capture thrombin from the samples.
