1. Genome-wide association study identifies five loci associated with lung function (Publications)

   Genome-wide association study identifies five loci associated with lung function

   Relevance:

   Pulmonary function measures are heritable traits that predict morbidity and mortality and define chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We tested genome-wide association with forced expiratory

2. The influence of HIV on the evolution of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> (Publications)

   The influence of HIV on the evolution of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em>

   Relevance:

   HIV significantly affects the immunological environment during tuberculosis co-infection, and therefore may influence the selective landscape upon which M. tuberculosis evolves. To test this hypothesi

3. Genome-wide interaction analysis of air pollution exposure and childhood asthma with functional follow-up (Publications)

   Genome-wide interaction analysis of air pollution exposure and childhood asthma with functional follow-up

   Relevance:

   RATIONALE: The evidence supporting an association between traffic-related air pollution exposure and incident childhood asthma is inconsistent, and may depend on genetic factors. OBJECTIVES: To identi

4. Efficacy and safety of praziquantel against light infections of <em>Opisthorchis viverrini</em>: a randomised parallel single blind dose-ranging trial (Publications)

   Efficacy and safety of praziquantel against light infections of <em>Opisthorchis viverrini</em>: a randomised parallel single blind dose-ranging trial

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: The liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini, highly prevalent in Southeast Asia, is an important public health burden, including a risk factor for developing an aggressive bile duct cancer, cho

   Sensitisation to Ambrosia in Switzerland: a public health threat on the wait

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Ambrosia artemisiifolia (short name = Ambrosia common ragweed) pollen is a potent allergen and has recently been found in Switzerland, spreading from the southwest of the country. The aim

   Relation between circulating CC16 concentrations, lung function, and development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease across the lifespan: a prospective study

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Low concentrations of the anti-inflammatory protein CC16 (approved symbol SCGB1A1) in serum have been associated with accelerated decline in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) in patie

    HMOX1 and GST variants modify attenuation of FEF25-75% decline due to PM10 reduction

    Relevance:

    Reduced exposure to particulate matter with a 50% cut-off aerodynamic diameter of 10 microm (PM(10)) attenuated age-related lung function decline in our cohort, particularly in the small airways. We h
