Variants of N-acetyltransferase NAT1 and a case-control study of colorectal adenomas (Publications)
N-acetyltransferase NAT1, together with enzymes CYP1A2 and NAT2, helps convert heterocyclic amines to mutagens. Epidemiologic studies of the association of variants of these enzymes with colorectal ca
Leishmanicidal and cholinesterase inhibiting activities of phenolic compounds from <em>Allanblackia monticola</em> and <em>Symphonia globulifera</em> (Publications)
In a preliminary antiprotozoal screening of several Clusiaceae species, the methanolic extracts of Allanblackia monticola and Symphonia globulifera showed high in vitro leishmanicidal activity. Furthe
An individual-based model of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> malaria transmission on the coast of Kenya (Publications)
Individual-based models provide powerful tools to model complex interactions characterized by individual variability. This paper presents an object-oriented design for individual-based modelling of Pl
Synthesis of antimalarial 1,2,4-trioxanes via photooxygenation of a chiral allylic alcohol (Publications)
[reaction: see text] Photooxygenation of the chiral allylic alcohol 4-methyl-3-penten-2-ol (3) in nonpolar solvents and subsequent Lewis acid-catalyzed peroxyacetalization afforded a series of monocyc
Absence of anti-hepatitis B surface antibody after vaccination does not necessarily mean absence of immune response (Publications)
A small number of subjects vaccinated against hepatitis B do not produce anti-hepatitis B surface (HBs) antibody levels detectable by commercial assays. Others lose detectable anti-HBs at some time af
Imported schistosomiasis in Europe: sentinel surveillance data from TropNetEurop (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis is a major parasitic disease, increasingly imported into temperate climates by immigrants from and travelers to endemic areas. METHOD: To generate valid data on imported in
Increasing blood flow increases kt/V(urea) and potassium removal but fails to improve phosphate removal (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Hyperphosphatemia and hyperkalemia are major determinants of morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients. Half of the dialysis population suffers from hyperphosphatemia which is now r
