Symptoms of ill health ascribed to electromagnetic field exposure--a questionnaire survey (Publications)
From June 2001, health questionnaires were distributed to people who complained about symptoms of ill health which they ascribed to exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF). The objective of the surve
High prevalence of nonconvulsive and subtle status epilepticus in an ICU of a tertiary care center: a three-year observational cohort study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Status epilepticus is one of the most important neurological emergencies and requires immediate therapy and admission to the intensive care unit. We hypothesized that nonconvulsive and sub
Estimating the duration of Plasmodium falciparum infection from trials of indoor residual spraying (Publications)
We reviewed the use of simple mathematical models to estimate the duration of Plasmodium falciparum infection after transmission has been interrupted. We then fit an exponential decay model to repeate
Quality of drinking-water at source and point-of-consumption-drinking cup as a high potential recontamination risk: a field study in Bolivia (Publications)
In-house contamination of drinking-water is a persistent problem in developing countries. This study aimed at identifying critical points of contamination and determining the extent of recontamination
Spatial variability of different fractions of particulate matter within an urban environment and between urban and rural sites (Publications)
The spatial variability of different fractions of particulate matter (PM) was investigated in the city of Basel, Switzerland, based on measurements performed throughout 1997 with a mobile monitoring s
Statistical analysis of personal radiofrequency electromagnetic field measurements with nondetects (Publications)
Exposimeters are increasingly applied in bioelectromagnetic research to determine personal radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure. The main advantages of exposimeter measurements are t
