Evaluating the hypertension cascade of care in adults in urban Lao PDR: evidence from the VITERBI Cohort Study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Hypertension (HT) is a major risk factor for adult morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries and little is known regarding the distribution of HT risk and treatment acces
Associations between long-term air pollution exposure and mortality and cardiovascular morbidity: a comparison of mobility-integrated and... (Publications)
Epidemiological studies investigating the health effects of long-term air pollution exposure typically only consider the participants' residential addresses when determining exposure. Neglecting mobil
Onset of infectiousness explains differences in transmissibility across <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis </em>lineages (Publications)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) lineages show substantial variability in virulence, but the epidemiological consequences of this variability have not been studied in detail. Here, we aimed f
Microbial Ecosystem Therapeutics 4 (MET4) elicits treatment-specific IgG responses associated with changes in gut microbiota in immune checkpoint... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Gut microbiome modulation has shown promise in its potential to treat cancer in combination with immunotherapy. Mechanistically, the pathways and routes by which gut microbiota may influen
Identifying gaps in protection from malaria vector biting in rural Cambodia using an entomological assessment and human behaviour observations (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Forest-exposed populations remain the last significant, and most difficult to access, high-risk populations for malaria in Cambodia. Despite the availability of long-lasting insecticidal n
Global impact of parasitic infections and the importance of parasite control (Publications)
Parasites have a severe impact on animal and human health. Parasites like worms, ticks, mites, fleas, biting flies, mosquitoes, and pathogenic protozoa affect humans and their pets as well as their li
Assessment of health status and creation of a registry of potential research participants aged 1.5 to 50 years on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea (Publications)
A malaria control program established in 2004 on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea, achieved significant reductions in malaria prevalence; however, progress subsequently stalled, leading to a proposal t
Concurrently measured concentrations of atmospheric mercury in indoor (household) and outdoor air of Basel, Switzerland (Publications)
Indoor air pollution can be a major health risk because urban populations spend up to 90% of their time in closed rooms. Gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) has not been measured as routinely as other ind
Ultradian modulation of cortical arousals during sleep: effects of age and exposure to nighttime transportation noise (Publications)
STUDY OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed at assessing the temporal non-rapid eye movement (NREM) EEG arousal distribution within and across sleep cycles and its modifications with aging and nighttime
Associations between modeled residential outdoor and measured personal exposure to ultrafine particles in four European study areas (Publications)
Land use regression (LUR) models for Ultrafine Particles (UFP) have been developed to assess health effects of long-term average UFP exposure in epidemiological studies. Associations between LUR model
