In sub-Saharan Africa almost all of the malaria deaths occur in children below five years of age and these deaths occur within 48 hours of onset of symptoms. Consequently, the home management of malaria (HMM), was introduced to ensure early recognition of and prompt and appropriate response to malarial illness in children within the home or the community. In this report the impact of HMM in chi...

To determine the relationship between the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) encephalitis (HIVE) and diffuse poliodystrophy in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome dementia complex, we examined the neuropathologic features in brain autopsy tissue specimens of HIV-1Yinfected patients with (n = 11) or without HIVE (n = 9). The brains were free of opportunistic diseases and major cerebr...

METHODS Patients (n=603; mean age, 73.9 years; 55.2% men) with probable (70.5%) or possible (29.5%) VaD, according to criteria of the Natio...

Fracture is one of the main causes for failure resin-based composite restorations. To overcome this drawback, self-healing composites have been designed by incorporation microcapsules. However, relationship between their capacity and microcapsule resin parameters still poorly understood. Therefore, objective study was to systematically investigate effect initiator concentration (in resin) size ...
