Abstract

Using event study methodology, we investigate whether bilateral investment protection treaties afford protection to foreign investors. Examining arbitral decisions for firms from six countries shows that firms that received awards from arbitrators gained in market value by as much as 3%. Per dollar awarded, firms gained over $20 in market value. Thus, we conclude that the system of arbitration does afford significant benefits to firms that can demonstrate that they have been injured by host governments who violated the terms of the relevant investor protection treaty. We also find some evidence that arbitral decisions are anticipated by stock markets.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Severe falciparum malaria is associated with multiple organ dysfunction and a high rate of fatal outcome. Malaria is a world‐wide disease in tropical areas through the bites of vector mosquitoes. Parasitic protozoans introduced by the mosquito's saliva to the blood travel to the liver then mature and reproduce. In humans, malaria is caused by Plasmodium falciparum, P. malariae, P. ovale, P. vivax, and P. knowlesi, and P. falciparum causes most deaths. Typical malaria symptoms include fever, chills, fatigue, headache, nausea, and vomiting. In severe cases, it can cause jaundice, seizures, coma, or death. Jaundice, caused by intravascular hemolysis is a usual complication of malaria, especially in patients with P. falciparum infection. The use of exchange transfusion in malaria is not currently advocated by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the United States of America. The role of therapeutic plasma exchange as an adjunctive therapy in malaria has not been widely discussed in the literature. Here, we present a 23‐year‐old patient with jaundice, acute renal failure, and cerebral involvement who was successfully treated with plasma exchange and hemodialysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
