Abstract: The lethality of infectious diseases can be largely minimized via implementation of crucial sanitary procedures such as vaccination. Vaccine is a biological preparation used to establish or improve immunity to a particular disease. Vaccines, made of killed or attenuated forms of microbes, are the main modes of defense and protection against several bacterial, viral and parasitic diseases. However, the process of production and purification makes them expensive and unaffordable to
Abstract: Background: Electrocardiographic (ECG) changes occurring after the onset of Cerebrovascular Accidents (CVA), including both ischemic and haemorrhagic stroke, have been demonstrated in numerous studies. These changes can be due to various causes. They could be a complication of the CVA or a concomitant Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). Meanwhile, ECG abnormalities including atrial fibrillation could reflect a cause of CVA or could be present prior to the stroke.
Abstract: Angiopoietin-1 and 2 maintain the integrity of endothelium, which plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of severe malaria. We study its dysregulation and utility as biomarker. We enrolled 34 patients of uncomplicated, 108 patients of severe falciparum malaria (SM), and 30 healthy controls in this study. Plasma ANG-1 and 2 were estimated with sandwich ELISA and analyzed for predictive accuracy.
