Even though established parasites inside the red blood cells are extinct, the fatality rate is due to ongoing cyto-adhesion to infected erythrocytes.
New avenues are desperately needed as malaria vaccines have shown to be less than moderately successful and to treat these serious cases of P. falciparum malaria.
The latest figures suggest that more than 500 million malaria cases and more than 400,000 deaths are recorded annually worldwide. The secret to dramatically enhancing survival rates could be anti-adhesion medications.
Medical Study
A first-of-its-kind study by Florida Atlantic University s Schmidt College of Medicine in conjunction with FAU s Charles E. Schmidt College of Science and the Division of Chemical Sciences, National Institute of Standards and Technology, United States Department of Commerce, indicates that these conotoxins could theoretically cure malaria using venom from the Conus nux, a species of sea snail.
Teletica reports the jumper is Chase Reinford, who hails from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
“I found this abandoned train trestle and couldn’t help but jump it,” he wrote on Instagram. “There is a small village right next to the bridge and the local people were helpful in guiding me out from the canyon via hand drawn map. I still got lost and just ended up bushwhacking my way out.”
The video has amassed 23,000 views over just two days, and it drew the attention of the Costa Rica Railway Institute (INCOFER).
“At Incofer, we are in absolute disagreement with the events carried out from a railway bridge. This is to safeguard human lives,” said Elizabeth Briceño, the organization’s president.

There’s a foot and a half of snow on the ground. The mushy, slippery old kind, not the new, fun, sledding and snowball kind. Tired of waiting to go out and do stuff. Tired of waiting for a vaccine. Tired of waiting for this whole thing to end. Well, the wait is over. I’ve got you covered.
Dominical is one of the many small beach towns that dot Costa Rica’s Pacific coast.
It’s in Puntarenas, south of the Nicoya Peninsula where most of the surf activity is centered. And yet the broad southern beaches of Dominical and Uvita are equally spectacular, and Dominical may have the most dependable break in Costa Rica. Playas Coco or Conchal are on lovely bays up north where you’ll find calmer water, but if you like to surf or body surf, or just like to lie by the beach and listen to the soothing music of the waves, there’s no better place than Dominical.
