Acid-induced rearrangement of epoxygermacranolides: synthesis of furanoheliangolides and cadinanes from nobilin (Publications)
vative 2, furanoheliangolide 5 was obtained, while the 4,5-epoxy group of 3 did not react. Conversely, when the 3-hydroxy function of nobilin was acetylated (12), the 4,5-epoxy derivative did cyclize into [...] into cadinanes (15 and 16) under Lewis acid catalysis. The reactivity of the 4,5- and 1,10-epoxy derivatives of nobilin (2 and 3) was compared with that of parthenolide, and rationalized on the basis of

Sub-national stratification of malaria risk in mainland Tanzania: a simplified assembly of survey and routine data (Publications)
allocate councils to one of four risk groups: very low ( < 1%PfPR5to16), low (1- < 5%PfPR5to16), moderate (5- < 30%PfPR5to16) and high (> /= 30%PfPR5to16). Scores were assigned to each risk group per indicator [...] prevalence in school children (PfPR5to16) were obtained from the two latest biennial council representative school malaria parasitaemia surveys, 2014-2015 and 2017. The PfPR5to16 served as a guide to set a

Median exposure to air pollution over the 5 years before MRI acquisition was 24.3 (IQR: 1.7) μg/m3 for PM2.5, 48.9 (14.6) μg/m3 for NO2, and 2.66 (0.60) 10-5/m for BC. We found no significant association [...] volumes. Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and black carbon (BC) at the participants' residential address during the 5 years before the MRI examination was estimated with [...] population-based study in older adults, PM2.5 exposure was associated with...

Cancer risk assessment of selected hazardous air pollutants in Seattle (Publications)
cancer risk was 6.09 x 10(-5), with the background (1.61 x 10(-5)), diesel (9.82 x 10(-6)) and wood burning (9.45 x 10(-6)) sources being the primary risk sources. The PM(2.5) mass concentration contributed [...] lifetime excess cancer risks of selected hazardous air pollutants. We analyzed the speciated PM(2.5) and VOCs data collected at the Beacon Hill in Seattle, WA between 2000 and 2004 with the Multilinear [...] contributed 20% of the total risk. The 5th percentile of the risk estimates of...
Ambient air pollution and cardiorespiratory outcomes amongst adults residing in four informal settlements in the western province of South Africa (Publications)
Land-Use Regression for Particulate Matter (PM2.5) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) at participants' homes. The median age of the participants was 40.7 years, and 88.5% were female. The median annual NO2 level was [...] annual PM2.5 level was 9.7 microg/m(3) (IQR: 7.3-12.4). Logistic regression analysis was used to assess associations between outcome variables and air pollutants. An interquartile range increase of 5.12 microg/m(3) [...] microg/m(3) in PM2.5 was significantly associated with an...
