Reduced exposure to PM10 and attenuated age-related decline in lung function (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Air pollution has been associated with impaired health, including reduced lung function in adults. Moving to cleaner areas has been shown to attenuate adverse effects of air pollution on l
Development of land use regression models for nitrogen dioxide, ultrafine particles, lung deposited surface area, and four other markers of... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Land Use Regression (LUR) is a popular method to explain and predict spatial contrasts in air pollution concentrations, but LUR models for ultrafine particles, such as particle number conc
PCR-based verification of positive rapid diagnostic tests for intestinal protozoa infections with variable test band intensity (Publications)
Stool-based rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for pathogenic intestinal protozoa (e.g. Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia intestinalis) allow for prompt diagnosis and treatment in resource-constrained setti
Quality of life as predictor for the development of cardiac ischemia in high-risk asymptomatic diabetic patients (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Ischemia induced by psychological stress and depression is a common phenomenon in stable coronary artery disease (CAD). We evaluated the quality of life (QoL) of diabetic patients screened
Seasonal pattern of <em>Mycobacterium ulcerans</em>, the causative agent of Buruli ulcer, in the environment in Ghana (Publications)
This study aimed to contribute to the understanding of Mycobacterium ulcerans (MU) ecology by analysing both clinical and environmental samples collected from ten communities along two major river bas
Alkamides from <em>Anacyclus pyrethrum</em> L. and their <em>in vitro</em> antiprotozoal activity (Publications)
In our ongoing study to evaluate the antiprotozoal activity of alkamides from Asteraceae, a dichloromethane extract from the roots of Anacycluspyrethrum L. showed a moderate in vitro activity against
Molecular basis for covalent inhibition of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase by a 2-phenoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone small molecule (Publications)
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) has recently gained attention as an anti-protozoan and anti-cancer drug target. We have previously identified 2-phenoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone as an inhibi
