Schistosomiasis is a serious health problem in many parts of Africa which is linked to poor water quality and limited sanitation resources. We administered a discrete choice experiment on water access and health education in rural Uganda, focussing on interventions designed to reduce cases of the disease. Unlike previous studies, we included a payment vehicle of both labour hours supplied per week and money paid per month within each choice set.

While schistosomiasis remains a significant health problem in low to middle income countries, it also represents a recently recognised threat to more economically-developed regions. Until a vaccine is developed, this neglected infectious disease is primarily controlled by praziquantel, a drug with a currently unknown mechanism of action. By further elucidating how Schistosoma molecular components cooperate to regulate parasite developmental processes, next generation targets will be identified.

Purpose: We report the case of a 59-year-old male patient who presented with space-occupying lesions in the pancreas and liver suggestive of metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Materials And Methods: Whole-body F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT imaging and enhanced CT imaging of the lesions were performed in addition to abdominal ultrasound, ERCP, and MRCP. Tumor markers, including CA199 and AFP, were also evaluated.
