Malaria causes an acute systemic human disease that bears many similarities, both
clinically and mechanistically, to those caused by bacteria, rickettsia, and viruses. Over the …

The microcirculation is a complex and integrated system that supplies and distributes

Objective: To quantify sepsis-induced alterations in changes in muscle tissue oxygenation
(StO 2) after an ischemic challenge using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and to test the …

Many factors in the surrounding environment have been reported to influence erythrocyte

Abstract Changes in red blood cell (RBC) function can contribute to alterations in
microcirculatory blood flow and cellular dysoxia in sepsis. Decreases in RBC and neutrophil …

Falciparum malaria is a complex disease with no simple explanation, affecting organs where
the parasite is rare as well as those organs where it is more common. We continue to argue …
