We analyzed DNA eluted from FTA (Flinders Technology Associates) cards spotted with blood from Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) patients admitted at Lwala Hospital, Eastern Uganda, and Kaliua Healt
Respiratory symptoms following wildfire smoke exposure: airway size as a susceptibility factor (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Associations between exposure to smoke during wildfire events and respiratory symptoms are well documented, but the role of airway size remains unclear. We conducted this analysis to asses
Isoneocryptolepine, a synthetic indoloquinoline alkaloid, as an antiplasmodial lead compound (Publications)
The antiprotozoal activities of three naturally occurring isomeric indoloquinoline alkaloids, i.e., cryptolepine (1), neocryptolepine (2), and isocryptolepine (3), and two dimeric indoloquinoline alka
Contribution of physical education to overall physical activity (Publications)
For many children, physical activity (PA) during physical education (PE) lessons provides an important opportunity for being physically active. Although PA during PE has been shown to be low, little i
