Combining near- and far-field exposure for an organ-specific and whole-body RF-EMF proxy for epidemiological research: a reference case (Publications)
A framework for the combination of near-field (NF) and far-field (FF) radio frequency electromagnetic exposure sources to the average organ and whole-body specific absorption rates (SARs) is presented
An outbreak of serotype 1 <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae</em> meningitis in northern Ghana with features that are characteristic of <em>Neisseria... (Publications)
Background. The Kassena-Nankana District (KND) of northern Ghana lies in the African meningitis belt, where epidemics of bacterial meningitis have been reoccurring every 8-12 years. These epidemics ar
The public health relevance of air pollution abatement (Publications)
Assuming a causal relationship between current levels of air pollution and morbidity/mortality, it is crucial to estimate the public health relevance of the problem. The derivation of air pollution at
Metabonomic investigation of single and multiple strain <em>Trypanosoma brucei brucei</em> infections (Publications)
Abstract. Although co-infections are common and can have important epidemiologic and evolutionary consequences, studies exploring biochemical effects of multiple-strain infections remain scarce. We st
Association of environmental tobacco smoke at work and forced expiratory lung function among never smoking asthmatics and non-asthmatics. The... (Publications)
Inconsistencies across studies on the association of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and pulmonary function may be clarified addressing potentially susceptible subgroups. We determined the associati
An attributable risk model for exposures assumed to cause both chronic disease and its exacerbations (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Many chronic diseases are the product of an underlying pathologic condition and superimposed acute exacerbations. This model may apply to several conditions such as asthma, other obstructi
