Plant-derived compounds for the treatment of schistosomiasis: Improving efficacy via nano-drug delivery
AA Eze, MO Ogugofor, EC OssaiNigerian Journal of Clinical Practice 2022 25(6):747-764

Presently, chemotherapy is the main method of control and treatment of this disease due to the absence of a vaccine. However, Praziquantel, which is the only chemotherapeutic option, lacks efficacy against the early developmental stages of schistosomes. A number of plant-derived compounds, including alkaloids, terpenes and phenolics, have displayed in vitro and in vivo efficacy against Schistosoma spec...

SK Lee, JE Park, SY Jin, MO LeeNigerian Journal of Clinical Practice 2022 25(5):728-730
The recurrence or exacerbation of phantom limb pain (PLP) induced by spinal anesthesia in patients with amputated limbs is rare, but it can occur in any amputee.

She did not experience PLP in the previous two surgeries but experienced the recurrence of severe PLP after the third surgery for the left knee amputation. It is believed that this third operation caused the patient to experience even more seve...
