"In many countries in sub-Saharan Africa where malaria is endemic, a high proportion of the population carry the parasite but do not show any clinical symptoms. This is particularly problematic when it comes to donated blood transfusions as it puts the recipients at high risk of infection if no blood treatment procedure is provided," says Professor Jean-Pierre Allain, lead author from the University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK. "Testing for parasites such as malaria is expensive and until now, there have been no technologies capable of treating whole blood, which is most commonly used in transfusions in sub-Saharan Africa. This is the first study to look at the potential of pathogen-reduction technology in a real-world treatment setting and finds that although the risk of malaria transmission is not completely eliminated, the risk is severely reduced." The study is published ahead of World Malaria Day. Every year, approximately 214 million people worldwide are i...

New analysis from North Carolina State College and Pennsylvania State College finds that black feminine faculty college students have been usually unlikely to make use of on-line assets associated to HIV prevention, as a result of stigma related to the illness and issues that their social community would study they have been accessing HIV-related supplies. "We assumed that offering details about HIV prevention on-line can be an efficient method of reaching black feminine faculty college students," says Fay Cobb Payton, an affiliate professor of knowledge expertise at NC State and lead creator of a paper on the work. "We thought it will resonate and be accepted, and we have been incorrect." The researchers convened eleven focus teams, consisting of a complete of 60 black ladies who have been faculty college students. Half of the main focus teams have been based mostly in North Carolina, the others in Pennsylvania. Pri...
