OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Dr Ray will be speaking about two studies just published in April 2025 that investigated febrile non-traumatic coma in African children. In the first paper they report that the malaria mortality rate has remained constant for 50 years, despite targeted interventions and improved treatment. In the second paper they report that whilst cerebral malaria is the leading cause of febrile coma, bacterial co-infections were detected in over 25% of cases.
