Synthesis, <em>in vitro</em> antiprotozoal activity, molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies of some new monocationic guanidinobenzimidazoles (Publications)
A series of monocationic new guanidinobenzimidazole derivatives were prepared in a four step process starting from 2-nitro-1,4-phenylendiamine. Their antiparasitic activity against Plasmodium falcipar
Health impacts of industrial mining on surrounding communities: local perspectives from three sub-Saharan African countries (Publications)
Industrial mining projects can play an important role in global sustainable development if associated health risks are minimised and opportunities maximised. While a broad body of evidence from quanti
‘The time where the British took the lead is over’: ethical aspects of writing in complex research partnerships (Publications)
Writing reflects some of the different characteristics of the language being used and of the people who are communicating. The present paper focusses on the internal written communication in internati
Antenatal care service delivery and factors affecting effective tetanus vaccine coverage in low- and middle-income countries: results of the Maternal... (Publications)
OBJECTIVES: To map the integration of existing maternal tetanus immunization programmes within antenatal care (ANC) services for pregnant women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and to ident
A sister lineage of the <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis </em>complex discovered in the African Great Lakes region (Publications)
The human- and animal-adapted lineages of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) are thought to have expanded from a common progenitor in Africa. However, the molecular events that accompanied
Point-of-care ultrasound: a useful diagnostic tool in Africa (Publications)
In resource limited settings with limited tests and diagnostic tools, most of diagnoses are based on clinical findings, and patients are managed empirically, e.g. with anti-tuberculosis drugs. This ar
Whole genome sequencing and spatial analysis identifies recent tuberculosis transmission hotspots in Ghana (Publications)
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is progressively being used to investigate the transmission dynamics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). We used WGS analysis to resolve traditional genotype cl
The epidemiology of <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>and <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> in East Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea, pre- and... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: In the past decade, national malaria control efforts in Papua New Guinea (PNG) have received renewed support, facilitating nationwide distribution of free long-lasting insecticidal nets (L
Low serum DHEA-S is associated with impaired lung function in women (Publications)
Background: Emerging evidence suggests that androgens and estrogens have a role in respiratory health, but it is largely unknown whether levels of these hormones can affect lung function in adults fro
Regular physical activity levels and incidence of restrictive spirometry pattern: a longitudinal analysis of two population-based cohorts (Publications)
A restrictive spirometry pattern is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Whether practicing regular physical activity protects against this pattern has never been studied. We estimated the as
