New diagnostic tools in schistosomiasis (Publications)
Schistosomiasis is a water-based parasitic disease that affects over 250 million people. Control efforts have long been in vain, which is one reason why schistosomiasis is considered a neglected tropi
One-hour rule-in and rule-out of acute myocardial infarction using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to prospectively derive and validate a novel 1h-algorithm using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) for early rule-out and rule-in of acute myocardial infarction. METHODS
Anti-trypanosomal cadinanes synthesized by transannular cyclization of the natural sesquiterpene lactone nobilin (Publications)
Acid-catalyzed transannular cyclization of the germacrene-type sesquiterpene lactone nobilin 1 was investigated with the aim of obtaining new anti-trypanosomal cadinane derivatives. The reaction was r
LUR models for particulate matters in the Taipei metropolis with high densities of roads and strong activities of industry, commerce and construction (Publications)
Traffic intensity, length of road, and proximity to roads are the most common traffic indicators in the land use regression (LUR) models for particulate matter in ESCAPE study areas in Europe. This st
Particulate matter composition and respiratory health: the PIAMA birth cohort study (Publications)
BACKGROUND:: Ambient particulate matter (PM) exposure is associated with children's respiratory health. Little is known about the importance of different PM constituents. We investigated the effects o
Health & demographic surveillance system profile: the Rufiji Health and Demographic Surveillance System (Rufiji HDSS) (Publications)
The Rufiji Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) was established in October 1998 to evaluate the impact on burden of disease of health system reforms based on locally generated data, prior
