There are limited control measures for the disease schistosomiasis, despite the fact that infection with parasitic blood flukes affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The current treatment, praziquantel, has been in use since the 1980's and there is a concern that drug resistance may emerge with continued monotherapy. Given the need for additional antischistosomal drugs, we have re-visited an old lead, meclonazepam.

Intracardiac air remains an unsolved problem in the realm of cardiac surgery, leading to embolic events encompassing conduction disturbance, heart failure, and stroke. Transesophageal echocardiography allows the visualization of three distinct types of retained intracardiac air: pooled air, coarse bubbles, and microbubbles. The former two predominantly manifest in the right upper pulmonary vein, left atrium, and left ventricle, exhibiting passive movement along the vessel walls by buoyancy.

Spreading depolarization (SD) is assumed to be the pathophysiological correlate of migraine aura, leading to spreading depression of activity and a long-lasting vasoconstriction known as spreading oligemia. Furthermore, cerebrovascular reactivity is reversibly impaired after SD. Here, we explored the progressive restoration of impaired neurovascular coupling to somatosensory activation during spreading oligemia.

This has contributed to antibiotic resistance levels that are amongst the highest in the world. To address this problem, we developed a participatory learning and action (PLA) intervention.

Introduction: To date, eleven countries have been validated as having eliminated trachoma as a public health problem, including Ghana in 2018. Surveillance for recrudescence is needed both pre- and post-validation but evidence-based guidance on appropriate strategies is lacking. We explored two potential surveillance strategies in Ghana.
