Delay in diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis increases the risk of pulmonary cavitation in pastoralist setting of Ethiopia (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Delay in diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) leads to severe disease, adverse outcomes and increased transmission. Assessing the extent of delay and its effect on disea
Development of a recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) fluorescence assay for the detection of <em>Schistosoma haematobium</em> (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Accurate diagnosis of urogenital schistosomiasis is vital for surveillance and control programmes. While a number of diagnostic techniques are available there is a need for simple, rapid a
Classifying recurrent <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis </em>cases in Georgia using MIRU-VNTR typing (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Recurrent tuberculosis (TB) is one of the main challenges in TB control. Genotyping based on Mycobacterial Interspersed Repetitive Units-Variable Tandem Repeats (MIRU-VNTR) has been wide
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
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
