Cinnamoylphenethyl amides from <em>Polygonum hyrcanicum</em> possess anti-trypanosomal activity (Publications)
A methanolic extract from aerial parts of Polygonum hyrcanicum (Polygonaceae) showed high activity against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (IC50 = 3.7 microg/mL). Bioassay-guided fractionation of the e
Comparative testing of a miniature diffusion size classifier to assess airbone ultrafine particles under field conditions (Publications)
Miniature diffusion size classifiers (miniDiSC) are novel handheld devices to measure ultrafine particles (UFP). UFP have been linked to the development of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases; thus,
Strain classification of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em>: congruence between large sequence polymorphisms and spoligotypes (Publications)
Spoligotyping is used in molecular epidemiological studies, and signature patterns have identified strain families. However, homoplasy occurs in the markers used for spoligotyping, which could lead to
Residential distance to high voltage power lines and risk of neurodegenerative diseases: a Danish population-based case-control study (Publications)
The aim of this study was to investigate the possible association between residential distance to high-voltage power lines and neurodegenerative diseases, especially Alzheimer's disease. A Swiss study
The hidden economic burden of air pollution-related morbidity: evidence from the Aphekom project (Publications)
Public decision-makers commonly use health impact assessments (HIA) to quantify the impacts of various regulation policies. However, standard HIAs do not consider that chronic diseases (CDs) can be bo
