The oxidative system H2O2/fluorinated alcohol (TFE, HFIP) was used for direct acid- and MeReO3-catalyzed synthesis of 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes from cyclic (C6, C7, and C12) and acyclic ketones. The influence of ring size and alkyl chain length were studied and antimalarial activities of synthetic 3,3,6,6-tetraalkyl-1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes were determined. Variations in their antimalarial activities were significant, although they share similar electrochemical properties of the peroxide bond.

To synthesize available evidence on predictive factors associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) flares during pregnancy, we systematically searched MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library through January 2024 for observational studies on risk and protective factors of SLE flares during pregnancy. Odds ratios (OR) and mean differences (MD), as well as their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to quantify effect sizes. We employed fixed-effect or random-effect models based on heterogeneity assessments (I statistics).

Unlabelled: is a high-priority organism for the development of new antibacterial treatments. We found that the antimalarial medication mefloquine (MFQ) permeabilized the bacterial cell membrane of , decreased membrane fluidity, and caused physical injury to the membrane. MFQ also maintained activity across different pH conditions (PH range 5-8).

Background: The World Health Organization conditionally recommends reactive drug administration to reduce malaria transmission in settings approaching elimination. However, few studies have evaluated the impact of reactive focal drug administration (rFDA) in sub-Saharan Africa, and none have evaluated it under programmatic conditions. In 2016, Senegal's national malaria control programme introduced rFDA, the presumptive treatment of compound members of a person with confirmed malaria, and reactive mass focal drug administration (rMFDA), an expanded effort including neighbouring compounds during an outbreak, in 10 low transmission districts in the north of the country.

Background: The negative impact of COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare service utilization has been reported in several countries. In Gabon, data on the preparedness for future pandemic are lacking. The aim of the present study was to assess the trends of hospital attendance, malaria and self-medication prevalences as well as ITN use before and during Covid-19 first epidemic waves in a paediatric wards of a sentinel site for malaria surveillance, in Libreville, Gabon.
