- |||||||||| Journal: The search for better treatment strategies for mansonellosis: An expert perspective. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 21, 2023
We recommend that human infections with Mansonella species be treated, regardless of any apparent clinical manifestations. We argue that mansonellosis, despite being widely considered a benign infection, may represent a direct or indirect cause of significant morbidity that remains poorly characterized at present.

Journal: Albendazole - Ivermectin combination decreases inflammation in experimental neurocysticercosis. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 17, 2023 The current treatment is performed with anthelminthic drugs - albendazole (ABZ) or praziquantel - associated with anti-inflammatory and corticosteroids in order to prevent the negative effects of the inflammatory reaction to the parasite's death...The IVM monotherapy and ABZ-IVM combination showed more degenerated cysticerci, less inflammatory infiltration, meningitis and hyperemia than the other groups. Therefore, it is possible to recommend the combination of albendazole and ivermectin as alternative chemotherapy for NCC due to its antiparasitic and anti-inflammatory effects, with potential to decrease the negative effects of the inflammatory burst when the parasite is killed within the CNS.

Journal: COVID-19 pharmaceuticals in aquatic matrices: The threatening effects over cyanobacteria and microalgae. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 10, 2023 This study examined the presence of three repositioned drugs used for COVID-19 treatment: azithromycin (AZI), ivermectin (IVE) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in water samples collected from three urban rivers in Curitiba, Brazil, during August and September 2020...The use of AZI, IVE and HCQ for COVID-19 treatment may have generated surface water contamination, which could increased their potential ecotoxicological effects. This raises the need to further investigation into their effects on aquatic ecosystems.

Journal: Reliability evaluation in rural Congo of the calibrated blood smear technique to assess Loa loa microfilaremia level (Pubmed Central) - Jul 4, 2023 All estimated coefficients of variability were lower than the calculated acceptable coefficients suggesting reliability of the technique, although the lack of laboratory references precludes any conclusion on the quality of this diagnosis. It is imperative to implement a quality system and standardization of procedures for the diagnosis of L. loo microfilaremia, both in endemic countries and in the rest of the world, where the demand for diagnosis has been increasing for years.
