BACKGROUND Intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi) is the administration of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) at 2, 3, and 9 months of age to prevent malaria. We investigated the influence of IPTi on drug resistance. METHODS Twenty-four areas were randomly assigned to receive or not receive IPTi. Blood collected during representative household surveys at baseline and 15 and 27 months...

Pulmonary hypoplasia and hypertension account for significant morbidity and mortality in neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Whether CDH is associated with surfactant dysfunction remains controversial. Therefore, we measured disaturated phosphatidylcholine (DSPC) and surfactant protein (SP)-B concentration in tracheal aspirates and their synthesis rate in infants with CDH compa...

Abstract Background Various parts of Anacardium occidentale plant possess curative qualities like antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant. Aqueous extract this leaf was used in biosynthesizing zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoaggregates using two precursors salt (zinc acetate dihydrate [Zn(CH 3 COO) 2 ?2H O] chloride [ZnCl ]). The synthesized ZnO samples were a comparati...

This paper aims at the analysis of viable bacteria in potable water. Bacteria are the most diverse living beings on earth and only a fraction of them have been identified. The study aims to analyze bacterial abundance in potable water. Sample collection was carried out in 13 different places of Mahabubnagar district of Andhra Pradesh, India. The species were identified based on morphology, bioc...

BACKGROUND Splenic pseudocysts (SP) are a rare consequence of both acute and chronic pancreatitis. Surgery has been conventional treatment for SP and literature on role of endoscopic treatment is scant. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated SP clinical and radiological characteristics as well as the outcome following endoscopic drainage. METHODS Retrospective analysis of SP patients see...

The furan ring in the title compound, C(27)H(20)N(2)O(2), adopts a twisted conformation about the sp(3)-sp(3) bond. The mol-ecular structure is stabilized by an intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action which generates an S(6) ring motif. The crystal packing is stabilized by N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O inter-actions generating centrosymmetric R(2) (2)(18) and C(6) chain motifs, respectively. A weak C-H⋯π inter-ac...
