One Health is an approach that integrates perspectives from human, animal and environmental health to address health challenges. As the idea of One Health is grounded in achieving sustainable outcomes
Health solutions: theoretical foundations of the shift from sectoral to integrated systems (Publications)
The current fragmented framework of health governance for humans, animals and environment, together with the conventional linear approach to solving current health problems, is failing to meet today’s
A diagnostic challenge of tongue botryomycosis miming mycetoma: a case report (Publications)
Botryomycosis of the tongue is a rare chronic bacterial infection that presents as nodular masses, mimicking other infectious or neoplastic conditions such as mycetoma. A case of an 80-year-old male w
The microbiome antibiotic resistome: significant strategies toward microbiome-targeted therapeutic interventions in medicine (Publications)
Antibiotic resistance/drug resistance occurs in some, or less commonly all, subpopulations of microbes, usually bacteria, which can survive after exposure to one or more antibiotic environments. A mic
Europe-wide high-spatial resolution air pollution models are improved by including traffic flow estimates on all roads (Publications)
Road traffic is an important source of noise and air pollution. Modelling of air pollution and noise therefore requires detailed information on annual average daily traffic (AADT) flows on all roads.
