CAN TOPICAL INSECT REPELLENTS REDUCE MALARIA? A CLUSTER-RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL OF THE INSECT REPELLENT N,N-DIETHYL-M-TOLUAMIDE (DEET) IN LAO PDR.

Mosquito vectors of malaria in Southeast Asia readily feed outdoors making malaria control through indoor insecticides such as long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying more difficult.Topical insect repellents may be able to protect users from outdoor biting, thereby providing additional protection above the current best p

Cost-sensitive learning is a popular paradigm to address class-imbalance learning (CIL) problem.Traditional cost-sensitive learning approaches always solve CIL problem by assigning a constant higher training error penalty for all minority instances than that of majority instances, but ignore the significance of location information.Therefore, sever

A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can meet both VTOL and horizontal flight performance, but how to achieve a safe and stable transition is a research focus of this type of aircraft.According to the overall configuration characteristics of VTOL UAV, aerodynamic models of lift fan, lift duct and induced wing surface

Many complications may ensue coronary bypass surgery.Among these complications, early ORG GINGER JUICE or late dissection of the ascending aorta is a very rare condition.Successful surgery without life-threatening results can save lives.In this case report, we present a case of aortic dissection due to cross-clamp injury in a patient who underwent

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is the inability of the heart to adequately contract or eject blood.This heart is unable to produce adequate cardiac output to perfuse vital tissues.At a fundamental level, it is known that the cardioprotective pathway of nitric oxide-soluble guanylate cyclase-cyclic guanosine monophosphate is im
