Burden of disease scenarios by state in the USA, 2022-50: a forecasting analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (Publications)
in the USA is projected to increase from 78·3 years (95% uncertainty interval 78·1-78·5) in 2022 to 79·9 years (79·5-80·2) in 2035, and to 80·4 years (79·8-81·0) in 2050 for all sexes combined. This increase [...] 0·6 additional years (0·5-0·8) of HALE in 2050 under the improved drug use scenario relative to the reference scenario. Life expectancy and HALE are likewise projected to be 0·4-0·5 years higher in 2050 under [...] DALY rate due to drug use disorders is projected to increase...

Measuring progress and projecting attainment on the basis of past trends of the health-related Sustainable Development Goals in 188 countries: an... (Publications)
We transformed each indicator on a scale of 0-100, with 0 as the 2.5th percentile estimated between 1990 and 2030, and 100 as the 97.5th percentile during that time. An index representing all 37 health-related [...] than 60% of countries projected to reach targets for under-5 mortality, neonatal mortality, maternal mortality ratio, and malaria, to less than 5% of countries projected to achieve targets linked to 11 indicator [...] and Afghanistan (10.9, 9.6-11.9), the Central African Republic...

Ferrocenyl derivatives of the anthelmintic praziquantel: design, synthesis and biological evaluation (Publications)
spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis as well as by X-ray crystallography for 4A, 5A and 7A. Cytotoxicity studies revealed that the complexes were moderately toxic towards a cervical cancer [...] cell line (HeLa) and, importantly, significantly less active towards a noncancerous cell line (MRC-5). The in vitro anthelmintic activity of the eighteen ferrocenyl PZQ derivatives was tested against
