Cognitive training in Parkinson disease: cognition-specific vs nonspecific computer training (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: In this study, we compared a cognition-specific computer-based cognitive training program with a motion-controlled computer sports game that is not cognition-specific for their ability to e
Antischistosomal versus antiandrogenic properties of aryl hydantoin ro 13-3978 (Publications)
In the early 1980s, the antischistosomal aryl hydantoin Ro 13-3978 (AH01), a close structural analogue of the androgen receptor antagonist nilutamide, was discovered. Administration of 100 mg/kg oral

Synthesis, beta-haematin inhibition, and in vitro antimalarial testing of isocryptolepine analogues: SAR study of indolo[3,2-c]quinolines with various... (Publications)
A series of indolo[3,2-c]quinolines were synthesized by modifying the side chains of the omega-aminoalkylamines at the C6 position and introducing substituents at the C2 position, such as F, Cl, Br, M
Synthesis and antiparasitic activity of new bis-arylimidamides: DB766 analogs modfied in the terminal groups (Publications)
Fifteen novel bis-arylimidamide derivatives with various 6-membered (7a-c) and 5-membered (7d-o) heterocyclic rings replacing the terminal pyridyl rings of the lead compound DB766{(2,5-bis[2-i-propoxy
Comparison of ambient airborne PM2.5, PM2.5 absorbance and nitrogen dioxide ratios measured in 1999 and 2009 in three areas in Europe (Publications)
Epidemiological studies often use nitrogen dioxide (NO2) or proximity to roads to characterize exposure to more health-relevant pollutants (e.g., fine particles or black carbon aerosol) in vehicle exh
Air pollution and nonmalignant respiratory mortality in 16 cohorts within the ESCAPE project (Publications)
Rationale: Prospective cohort studies have shown that chronic exposure to particulate matter and traffic-related air pollution is associated with reduced survival. However, the effects on nonmalignant
Novel 3-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazole-based amides and sulfonamides as potential antitrypanosomal agents (Publications)
A series of novel 3-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazole-based (and in some cases 2-nitro-1H-imidazole-based) amides and sulfonamides were characterized for their in vitro antitrypanosomal and antileishmanial acti
