Acetylation polymorphism and prevalence of colorectal adenomas (Publications)
Polymorphic N-acetyltransferase (NAT2), an enzyme present in the colon, may effect incidence of colon cancer. Individuals with NAT2 fast acetylator genotypes may have higher colon cancer risks due to
Disparities in parasitic infections, perceived ill health and access to health care among poorer and less poor schoolchildren of rural Côte... (Publications)
Differences in the state of health between rural and urban populations living in Africa have been described, yet only few studies analysed inequities within poor rural communities. We investigated dis
Treatment gap for people living with epilepsy in Madagascar (Publications)
Using an indirect assessment technique we assessed the epilepsy treatment gap (ETG) in Madagascar. We estimate the ETG in Madagascar to be 92%. However, given the sociological, economic and sanitary c
A prospective observational safety study on MF59((R)) adjuvanted cell culture-derived vaccine, Celtura((R)) during the A/H1N1 (2009) influenza... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The present study was a prospective observational study to evaluate the safety profile of Celtura((R)), a monovalent, cell culture-derived, inactivated subunit influenza vaccine prepared f
Solid phase synthesis and antiprotozoal evaluation of di- and trisubstituted 5'-carboxamidoadenosine analogues (Publications)
The rapid increase of resistance to drugs commonly used in the treatment of tropical diseases such as malaria and African sleeping sickness calls for the prompt development of new safe and efficacious
Lack of association between the polyadenylation polymorphism in the NAT1 (acetyltransferase 1) gene and colorectal adenomas (Publications)
Smoking and a high intake of red meat are risk factors for colorectal tumors. These effects could be due to aromatic amine carcinogens. Individual susceptibility to aromatic amines has been related to
Monitoring of 1-min personal particulate matter exposures in relation to voice-recorded time-activity data (Publications)
Recent studies on the association between exposures to airborne particulate matter (PM) and disease have identified short-term peaks in PM exposures as posing especial health threats. Lightweight pers
