Emergence chez l’homme de fasciolose à <em>Fasciola gigantica</em> et de distomatose intestinale à <em>Fasciolopsis buski</em> au Laos (Publications)
Distomatoses due to Fasciola spp. and Fasciolopsis buski are very common in the developing countries of Southeast Asia. The flukes in Laos have not yet been completely studied and described, however.
Physical activity intensity and surrogate markers for cardiovascular health in adolescents (Publications)
We examined the impact of physical activity (PA) on surrogate markers of cardiovascular health in adolescents. 52 healthy students (28 females, mean age 14.5 +/- 0.7 years) were investigated. Microvas
Cell adhesion molecules P-cadherin and CD24 are markers for carcinoma and dysplasia in the biliary tract (Publications)
P-cadherin (CDH3) and CD24 are cell adhesion molecules that control morphogenic processes, cell motility, and invasive growth of tumor cells. The aim of our study was to investigate P-cadherin and CD2
UMTS base station-like exposure, well-being, and cognitive performance (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF) of mobile communication systems are widespread in the living environment, yet their effects on humans are uncertain despite a growing body o
Impaired fitness of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> resistant isolates in a cell culture model of murine macrophages (Publications)
Objectives We analysed the ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates to penetrate and grow inside murine macrophages as a surrogate of fitness. Methods Thirty-five drug-resistant and 10
Bacterial and fungal components in house dust of farm children, Rudolf Steiner school children and reference children--the PARSIFAL Study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Growing up on a farm and an anthroposophic lifestyle are associated with a lower prevalence of allergic diseases in childhood. It has been suggested that the enhanced exposure to endotoxin
Bicyclo[2.2.2]octyl esters of dialkylamino acids as antiprotozoals (Publications)
A couple of bicyclo[2.2.2]octyl esters of 2-dialkylaminoacetic acids were prepared. Their antiplasmodial and antitrypanosomal activities against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (STIB 900) and the K(1)
Differential gene expression in LPS/IFNgamma activated microglia and macrophages: in vitro versus in vivo (Publications)
Two different macrophage populations contribute to CNS neuroinflammation: CNS-resident microglia and CNS-infiltrating peripheral macrophages. Markers distinguishing these two populations in tissue sec
Antiplasmodial and antitrypanosomal activities of aminobicyclo[2.2.2]octyl omega-aminoalkanoates (Publications)
Several 4-aminobicyclo[2.2.2]octyl esters of omega-dialkylamino acids were prepared. Their activities against the multidrug-resistant K(1) strain of Plasmodium falciparum and Trypanosoma brucei rhodes
