Associations of various nighttime noise exposure indicators with objective sleep efficiency and self-reported sleep quality: a field study (Publications)
It is unclear which noise exposure time window and noise characteristics during nighttime are most detrimental for sleep quality in real-life settings. We conducted a field study with 105 volunteers w
Guidance for studies evaluating the accuracy of tuberculosis triage tests (Publications)
Approximately 3.6 million cases of active tuberculosis (TB) go potentially undiagnosed annually, partly due to limited access to confirmatory diagnostic tests, such as molecular assays or mycobacteria
Spatial effects of permethrin-impregnated bed nets on child mortality: 26 years on, a spatial reanalysis of a cluster randomized trial (Publications)
In addition to the direct effect of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), there has been evidence for spatial indirect effects. Spatial analyses in cluster randomized trials (CRTs) are rare, but a large-sc

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Primates forage on a variety of plant parts to balance their dietary intake to meet requirements of energy, nutrition and maintenance, however the reason(s) leading the
Neglected tropical diseases in the People's Republic of China: progress towards elimination (Publications)
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, considerable progress has been made in the control and elimination of the country's initial set of 11 neglected tropical diseases. Indeed,
Research and implementation lessons learned from a youth-targeted digital health randomized controlled trial (the ARMADILLO Study) (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Evidence is lacking on the efficacy of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) communication interventions for youth (aged 15-24 years), especially from low- and middle-income countries. Ther

From the twigs and leaves of the Central African liana Ancistrocladus ealaensis (Ancistrocladaceae), a series of ten 7,8'-coupled naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids were isolated, comprising eight new com
Exploring mechanochemical parameters using a DoE approach: crystal structure solution from Synchrotron XRPD and characterization of a new praziquantel... (Publications)
A rotated Doehlert matrix was utilized to explore the experimental design space around the milling parameters of Praziquantel (PZQ) polymorph B formation in terms of frequency and milling time. Three
