What research has been done on osteoarthritis?
Since 1997, several new methods of treatment for OA have been investigated. Although they are still being developed and tested, they appear to hold promise.
What is the cure against malaria?
If the patient has P. vivax, P ovale, P. malariae, or has been in an area where there is no chloroquine resistance in P. falciparum, chloroquine is the best drug to use to treat malaria. If the patient is infected with P. vivax or P. ovale, primaquine needs to be given as well. This drug is able to kill the liver stages of the parasites, unlike chloroquine. If primaquine is not used, the chloroquine will cure the acute attack, but the dormant liver stages will be able to cause recurrences in the future. In cases where chloroquine resistant P. falciparum is suspected, either quinine, mefloquine, halofantrine or the artemesinins can be used. Parasites that are resistant to mefloquine are also often resistant to halofantrine. Mefloquine is also not licensed for use as treatment in South Africa. Halofantrine has been associated with cardiac side effects, and should not be used for routine treatment. Quinine was the first drug used to successfully treat malaria, and with increasing chloroquine resistance, it is making something of a "comeback". It is thought to be the best available agent for treating complicated chloroquine resistant falciparum malaria. Unfortunately, resistance to this drug is also being described. A new class of drug is the artemesinin derivatives. This drug has been known for centuries in China and is derived from the wormwood plant. It shows great potential in being able to treat resistant falciparum malaria, and has been used often in SE Asia. Unfortunately, resistance to this agent is also being described. When these drugs are used to treat malaria, they should be combined with a second agent to try and reduce the development of resistance.
What are the malaria statistics in Papua New Guinea?
Papua New Guinea has one of the highest rates of malaria in the world, with around 10% of the population infected each year. Malaria is a major public health concern in the country, particularly in rural and remote areas. Efforts are being made to control and prevent the spread of the disease through various interventions.
What technology was developed after1995?
New technologies are constantly being developed. It is frequently difficult to see these as "new technology", as new technologies almost always are based off of previously existing technology, which are seen more of as improvement over being new.

Which part of the body does the malaria effect and how?
Malaria affects the liver and the red blood cells mainly.The parasite replicates in the liver cells and in the red cells, when enough new parasites have developed the cells burst.Malaria can also affect the kidneys and brain by blocking the blood supply to these organs, when the cells of the liver and red blood cells burst.
Malaria and mosquitoes relationship?
Mosquitoes bite people with Malaria and then bite a person without Malaria and introduce it into the new person's blood when they inject their anticoagulant to keep the blood liquid while feeding. Mosquitoes are a "vector" for Malaria.
How is malaria treated today?
Malaria is treated with a class of drugs which are known, unsurprisingly, as antimalarials. Antimalarial drugs are designed to attack the parasites which cause malaria, preventing them from spreading while also killing them off so that they cannot continue causing infection. The success of treatment varies, depending on what strain of malaria the patient has, whether or not the malaria is drug resistant, and whether or not the patient is able to complete the course of drugs needed to treat the malaria.
What is the level of glass IR transmission in the new security system being developed?
The level of glass infrared (IR) transmission in the new security system being developed is high, allowing for effective detection and monitoring through glass surfaces.
