Efficacy and safety of praziquantel against light infections of <em>Opisthorchis viverrini</em>: a randomised parallel single blind dose-ranging trial (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini, highly prevalent in Southeast Asia, is an important public health burden, including a risk factor for developing an aggressive bile duct cancer, cho
Associations between selective attention and soil-transmitted helminth infections, socioeconomic status, and physical fitness in disadvantaged... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Socioeconomically deprived children are at increased risk of ill-health associated with sedentary behavior, malnutrition, and helminth infection. The resulting reduced physical fitness, gr
Improving household air, drinking water and hygiene in rural Peru: a community-randomized-controlled trial of an integrated environmental home-based... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Diarrhoea and acute lower respiratory infections are leading causes of childhood morbidity and mortality, which can be prevented by simple low-cost interventions. Integrated strategies can
Genome-wide interaction analysis of air pollution exposure and childhood asthma with functional follow-up (Publications)
RATIONALE: The evidence supporting an association between traffic-related air pollution exposure and incident childhood asthma is inconsistent, and may depend on genetic factors. OBJECTIVES: To identi
Western European land use regression incorporating satellite- and ground-based measurements of NO2 and PM10 (Publications)
Land use regression (LUR) models typically investigate within-urban variability in air pollution. Recent improvements in data quality and availability, including satellite-derived pollutant measuremen
Genome-wide association study identifies five loci associated with lung function (Publications)
Pulmonary function measures are heritable traits that predict morbidity and mortality and define chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We tested genome-wide association with forced expiratory
The relevance of commuter and work/school exposure in an epidemiological study on traffic-related air pollution (Publications)
Exposure during transport and at non-residential locations is ignored in most epidemiological studies of traffic-related air pollution. We investigated the impact of separately estimating NO2 long-ter
Childhood vaccination communication outcomes unpacked and organised in a taxonomy to facilitate core outcome establishment (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: We present a comprehensive taxonomy of outcomes for childhood vaccination communication interventions. Adding to our earlier map of trial outcomes, we aimed to: 1) identify relevant outcome
Antimicrobial resistance in <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em>: mechanistic and evolutionary perspectives (Publications)
Antibiotic-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains are threatening progress in containing the global tuberculosis epidemic. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is intrinsically resistant to many antibioti
