Artemisinin-Resistant Plasmodium falciparum with High Survival Rates, Uganda, 2014–2016
Because ≈90% of malaria cases occur in Africa, emergence of artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum in Africa poses a serious public health threat. To assess emergence of artemisinin-resistant parasites in Uganda during 2014-2016, we used the recently developed ex vivo ring-stage survival assay, which estimates ring-stage-specific P. falciparum susceptibility to artemisinin. We conducted 4 ...
متن کاملSurvival under high mutation rates
We consider a stochastic model for an evolving population. We show that in the presence of genotype extinctions the population dies out for a low mutation probability but may survive for a high mutation probability. This turns upside down the widely held belief that above a certain mutation threshold a population cannot survive. 1 A model with genotype extinctions There seems to be a consensus ...

متن کاملImproving survival of retinoblastoma in Uganda.
BACKGROUND Diagnostic delay results in relatively high mortality among children with retinoblastoma in Uganda, where treatment was limited to surgery and, for some, radiotherapy. In order to improve outcomes, a simple programme of neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy was introduced. Here we report survival before and after this change to medical practice. METHODS Affordable standard off-pate...
متن کاملRewarming Rates on Survival
Summilt1tary. The survival rates of the cortical parenchymal cells of mulberry tree were determined as a fuinction of cooling and rewarming rates. When cooling was carried out slowly at 10 to 15° per mintute, all of the cells still remained viable even when rewarmed either rapidly or slowly. Survival rates gradually decreased to zero as the cooling rate increased from about 150 to 20000 per min...
