(2023-04-21). UNAC Statement on the indictment of the African People's Socialist Party, petition link & donation link. iacenter.org The United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC) condemns the indictment of Omali Yeshiteli, chairman of the African People's Socialist Party (APSP) and other members for expressing their views on Ukraine. The indictment charges them of "conspiring to covertly sow discord in U.S. society, spread Russian propaganda and interfere illegally in U.S. elections." This indictment attempts to criminalize freedom of speech and discourage all who oppose U.S. foreign policy from expressing their views. This attack on the APSP and on freedom of speech should also be seen in the light of other cases that the government has used…

Perspectives] Artesunate versus quinine: the controlled trials watershed. thelancet.com Earlier this century, two inter-related randomised controlled trials—the first in southeast Asia and a second in Africa—provided an incontrovertible breakthrough in the treatment of severe falciparum malaria. The trials, of artesunate versus quinine, proved beyond doubt for the first time that quinine, which had long been the mainstay of treatment for severe malaria, was no longer the most effective drug available, and thus catalysed a watershed in clinical practice and policy making. Like almost all decisive moments, this advance had a backstory that stretched several decades.

Correspondence] Key questions regarding the SYMPLICITY HTN-3 trial. thelancet.com In their Article, Deepak L Bhatt and colleagues1 report results from the SYMPLICITY HTN-3 (Renal Denervation in Patients With Uncontrolled Hypertension) trial, showing that blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension undergoing renal denervation was lower at 36 months than in patients in the initial sham control group, with adjusted treatment differences of —22 ∑1 mm Hg for office systolic blood pressure and —16 ∑5 mm Hg for 24-h ambulatory systolic blood pressure. These findings are in contrast to those observed at 6 months, when differences in blood pressure between the two groups…

Correspondence] Key questions regarding the SYMPLICITY HTN-3 trial — Authors' reply. thelancet.com In response to our Article,1 Sverre E Kjeldsen and colleagues raise several points that require clarification. The subgroup of patients in the sham control group who did not cross over either did not meet minimal blood pressure requirements or elected not to cross over. These patients had a subsequent rise in systolic blood pressure after unblinding, as shown in the appendix of our Article (p 14).1 Although poor long-term medication adherence remains a plausible explanation for poorly controlled blood pressure in this group, medical inertia is less likely to have occurred in our study because patients had already…
