Vaccines, antimalarials and recrudescence

Recrudescence of malignant hyperthermia.

RECRUDESCENCE of a malignant hyperthermia (MH) reaction has previously been reported anecdotally, but in this month’s issue of ANESTHESIOLOGY, Burkman et al. present the first detailed evaluation of its incidence and associated factors. Appreciation of the potential for recrudescence of MH reactions is important for the anesthesiologist managing a suspected case because it informs decisions reg...

Synthetic Antimalarials

Marine Antimalarials

Malaria is an infectious disease causing at least 1 million deaths per year, and, unfortunately, the chemical entities available to treat malaria are still too limited. In this review we highlight the contribution of marine chemistry in the field of antimalarial research by reporting the most important results obtained until the beginning of 2009, with particular emphasis on recent discoveries....

Photophase and Testicular Recrudescence in European Starlings

In an elaborate sequence of experiments, Bissonnette (1930, 1931, 1937) demonstrated a positive correlation between testicular growth in European Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) and seasonally increasing photoperiods occurring during the winter and spring months in north temperate zone latitudes. These results eventually led to the classification of the starling as a primary photoperiodic species ...
