Abstract

Cryptococcal meningitis associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection causes more than 600,000 deaths each year worldwide. Treatment has changed little in 20 years, and there are no imminent new anticryptococcal agents. The use of adjuvant glucocorticoids reduces mortality among patients with other forms of meningitis in some populations, but their use is untested in patients with cryptococcal meningitis.In this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, we recruited adult patients with HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis in Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Laos, Uganda, and Malawi. All the patients received either dexamethasone or placebo for 6 weeks, along with combination antifungal therapy with amphotericin B and fluconazole.The trial was stopped for safety reasons after the enrollment of 451 patients. Mortality was 47% in the dexamethasone group and 41% in the placebo group by 10 weeks (hazard ratio in the dexamethasone group, 1.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.84 to 1.47; P=0.45) and 57% and 49%, respectively, by 6 months (hazard ratio, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.91 to 1.53; P=0.20). The percentage of patients with disability at 10 weeks was higher in the dexamethasone group than in the placebo group, with 13% versus 25% having a prespecified good outcome (odds ratio, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.25 to 0.69; P

Abstract

Reservoir sedimentation adversely affects both operation and safety of dam. It is important for reservoir manager and operator to predict the incoming sediment inflow into a reservoir to develop sustainable sediment management plan. Continuous sediment monitoring is preferred to estimate total sediment load but it is labor intensive and costly. To cope with these limitations, total sediment inflow into a reservoir is predicted by coupling the runoff from hydrological model and sediment rating curves derived from field sampling dataset. In this research, MIKE NAM rainfall runoff model is used to simulate runoff in Cameron Highlands’ catchment, using hydrological data from 1999 to 2012. This model is calibrated and validated using the flow data of Sg Bertam. Field sampling is conducted to measure the Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Bed Load and grab samples at major rivers namely Sg Telom, Sg Habu, Sg Ringlet and Sg Bertam. Sediment rating curves using power function are used to describe the relationship between the total sediment load and discharge. Using this concept, annual total sediment inflow into Ringlet Reservoir from 1999 to 2012 is estimated in the range of 100,000 m3/year to 270,000 m3/year, agreeable to the survey records previously.

Abstract

Drug resistance has made malaria prevention difficult and the new agents are too expensive for widespread use. Primaquine, an established drug for treatment, is potentially useful for prevention. Malaria prophylaxis with primaquine was evaluated in Irian Jaya during one year in Javanese men who were not deficient in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD). 126 volunteers were randomised to receive 0.5 mg/kg primaquine base or placebo daily (double-blinded), or 300 mg chloroquine base weekly (open). The protective efficacy of primaquine relative to placebo was 94.5% (95% confidence interval 57-99) for Plasmodium falciparum and 90.4% (95% CI 58-98) for P vivax. Attack rates for either parasite did not differ significantly between the chloroquine and placebo groups. Incidence density of physical complaints not associated with parasitaemia was low (17-18 complaints/person-year) and was about the same in all groups except for cough, which was increased in the primaquine group. Complete blood counts were normal and no evidence of hepatic or renal dysfunction was found with primaquine. However, at 50 weeks the primaquine group had a mean methaemoglobin of 5.8% (range 1.4-13%), which declined by half within 7 days of ending prophylaxis. When used daily for one year by men with normal G-6-PD activity, primaquine was well tolerated and effective for prevention of malaria.
