The effectiveness of public health interventions against COVID-19: Lessons from the Singapore experience. by John P Ansah, David Bruce Matchar, Sean Lam Shao Wei, Jenny G Low, Ahmad Reza Pourghaderi, Fahad Javaid Siddiqui, Tessa Lui Shi Min, Aloysius Chia Wei-Yan, Marcus Eng Hock Ong

“…Importantly, our simulation model results suggest that there about 65% more COVID-19 infection cases in Singapore that have not been captured in the official reported numbers which could be uncovered via a serological study. Compared to the containment intervention, a mitigation intervention would have resulted in early peak infection, and increase both the cumulative confirmed and actual infection cases and deaths.…”

Increasing day three parasitaemia is observed after treatment of patients with artemether-lumefantrine and single dose of primaquine for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria... by Bontu Abate, Bokretsion Gidey Brhane, Tsegahun Manyazewal, Hussien Mohammed, Yonas Wuletaw, Moges Kassa, Mesay Hailu, Getachew Tollera, Geremew Tasew, Ashenafi Assefa, Eyasu Makonnen

“…These findings support the ongoing use of AL with a single dose of PQ as the primary treatment option for uncomplicated P. falciparum infections in the study area. In the context of the emergence and spread of partial artemisinin-based combination therapy(ACT) resistance in Africa, regular monitoring of the efficacy of current artemisinin-based combinations is recommended for the early detection of emerging drug resistance in the study setting and beyond.…”
