Breakthrough in combating the side effects of Quinine
Discovered back in the 1600s quinine was the first effective treatment in the fight against malaria - and it continues to be a commonly used treatment against this devastating disease. view more (2009-06-30)
Major advance in the treatment of severe malaria in our region
A drug derived from an ancient Chinese herb has been shown to reduce the risk of death from severe malaria by a third, potentially saving hundreds of thousands of lives in nations on our doorstep. view more (2005-08-29)
Food tastes stronger when you're hungry
People on diets should be forgiven for moaning that chocolate tastes better when you're hungry. Just missing breakfast makes you more sensitive to sweet and salty tastes, according to research to be published next Monday in BMC Neuroscience. Hunger could increase your ability to taste, by increasing the sensitivity of the taste receptors on your... view more... (2004-02-18)
Rectal artemisinins rapidly eliminate malarial parasites
Artemisinin-based suppositories can help 'buy time' for malaria patients who face a delay in accessing effective, injectable antimalarials, according to research published in the online open access journal BMC Infectious Diseases. view more (2008-03-28)
Not enough is known about treating malaria in pregnancy, researchers say
Few studies compare the effects of different drug regimes in pregnant women, and many of the best studies were conducted in Southeast Asia, where malaria transmission rates are low, says researcher Lois Orton of the University of York in England. view more (2005-07-20)
Dementia induced and blocked in Parkinson's fly model
Parkinson's disease is well-known for impairing movement and causing tremors, but many patients also develop other serious problems, including sleep disturbances and significant losses in cognitive function known as dementia. view more (2009-08-03)
