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
N-acetyltransferase 2 phenotype but not NAT1*10 genotype affects aminobiphenyl-hemoglobin adduct levels (Publications)
Aminobiphenyls (ABPs) in tobacco have been implicated in bladder cancer etiology in smokers. N-Acetylation of ABPs in the liver, predominantly by the N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) isozyme, represents a
Aromatase and breast cancer susceptibility (Publications)
Based on experimental and epidemiological evidence it is hypothesized that estrogen increases breast cancer risk by increasing mitotic activity in breast epithelial cells. Aromatase is crucial to the
Multiple parasite infections and their relationship to self-reported morbidity in a community of rural Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Concomitant parasitic infections are common in the developing world, yet most studies focus on a single parasite in a narrow age group. We investigated the extent of polyparasitism and par
Golgi phosphoprotein 2 (GOLPH2) expression in liver tumors and its value as a serum marker in hepatocellular carcinomas (Publications)
Hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and bile duct carcinomas (BDCs) have a poor prognosis. Therefore, surveillance strategies including sensitive and specific serum markers for early detection are needed
Dynamics of anemia in relation to parasitic infections, micronutrient status, and growing age in south-central Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
Background. Parasitic diseases (e.g., malaria and helminthiases) exert enormous burdens on public health and social wellbeing. Moreover, parasitic infections are important causes of anemia in tropical
Insecticide resistance and its association with target-site mutations in natural populations of <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> from eastern Uganda (Publications)
Insecticide resistance in Anopheles gambiae threatens the success of malaria vector control programmes in sub-Saharan Africa. In order to manage insecticide resistance successfully, it is essential to
