Current predictions suggest that the twin epidemics of obesity and diabetes worldwide will result in an increase in CVD rates, which have sharply declined over the past 30 years, after the introduction of effective lipid-lowering and antihypertensive therapies. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that in 2002, deaths from CVD outnumbered deaths from the major communicable diseases (AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria) by 3 to 1 (2). By 2015, an estimated 20 million people will die annually from CVD. Therefore, with the advent of the new millennium, there is a sense of urgency to address the burden of chronic cardiometabolic diseases worldwide. The information on the prevalence and etiology of cardiometabolic diseases, which is cited in this section was obtained from the WHO and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) websites (2-6). [Pg.1018]

Treatment regimens vary in detail those quoted here accord with the recommendations in the British National Formulary 2002, and the BNF is a good source of contact numbers, addresses and websites to obtain expert advice on therapy and prophylaxis of malaria. [Pg.269]

In 1990, Schrevel et al. were able to record the presence of a variety of acid aspartic and cysteine proteases and metalloproteases, as well as alkaline proteases and aminopeptidases in the erythrocytic stages of a variety of Plasmodium spp. Unfortunately, since many of the enzymes catalogued were only partially purified, and sometimes appeared aggregated, their biochemical characteristics remain ill defined at best. More recent findings for plasmodial enzymes—principally cysteine, aspartic and metalloproteases—can be found in Rosenthal (2005) and in the Plasmodium database PlasmoDB (http //plasmodb.org) as well as in the website developed and curated by Hagai Ginsburg (http //sites.huji.ac.il/malaria). [Pg.173]

The Malaria Parasite Metabolic Pathway (MPMP) is a website (http // sites.huji.ac.il/malaria last accessed 16 July 2008) that contains over 120 maps that encompasses not only classical biochemical pathways but next to each entry there is a 48-h clock that depicts stage-dependent transcription of a particular gene in P. falciparum. At the clock s zero hour, merozoites invade and at 12 o clock the 48-h cycle terminates. In the middle of the clock appears the hour of maximal transcript level. Clicking on the clock links to a transcriptomic database (http //malaria. ucsf.edu last accessed 16 July 2008). The enzymes are also linked to the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology website (http //www.iubmb.org last accessed 16 July 2008) where there is a detailed chemistry of the enzymatic reaction. Unlike other databases MPMP has been developed, curated and updated manually (Ginsburg, 2006). [Pg.298]

Some products advertised as alkaline are actually harmful. Miracle Mineral supplements were available from various websites in a number of countries, the claimed benefits included treatment of HIV, malaria, hepatitis and cancer. Maiket-ing the brand was consequently banned in most countries. The chemical composition of the product explains the life threatening effects it was sodium chlorite (NaC102), which had to be mixed with citric acid before use. Chlorous acid (HCIO2) is first formed in the induced reaction, and then chlorine dioxide (CIO2) is produced. In the final product, chloride (Cl ) and chlorite (CIO2 ) ions are both present depending on the pH ... [Pg.210]
