1. Traffic-related air pollution, noise at school, and behavioral problems in Barcelona schoolchildren: a cross-sectional study (Publications)

   Traffic-related air pollution, noise at school, and behavioral problems in Barcelona schoolchildren: a cross-sectional study

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: The available evidence of the effects of air pollution and noise on behavioral development is limited, and it overlooks exposure at schools, where children spend a considerable amount of t

2. Health impacts of active transportation in Europe (Publications)

   Health impacts of active transportation in Europe

   Relevance:

   Policies that stimulate active transportation (walking and bicycling) have been related to heath benefits. This study aims to assess the potential health risks and benefits of promoting active transpo

3. <em>In vitro</em> activity of anti-malarial ozonides against an artemisinin-resistant isolate (Publications)

   <em>In vitro</em> activity of anti-malarial ozonides against an artemisinin-resistant isolate

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Recently published data suggest that artemisinin derivatives and synthetic peroxides, such as the ozonides OZ277 and OZ439, have a similar mode of action. Here the cross-resistance of OZ27

4. Multiplicity of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> infection following intermittent preventive treatment in infants (Publications)

   Multiplicity of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> infection following intermittent preventive treatment in infants

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Intermittent preventive treatment in infants with sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTi-SP) reduces malaria morbidity by 20% to 33%. Potentially, however, this intervention may compromise the a

5. The effects of an oil and wheat flour fortification program on pre-school children and women of reproductive age living in Côte d'Ivoire, a... (Publications)

   The effects of an oil and wheat flour fortification program on pre-school children and women of reproductive age living in Côte d'Ivoire, a malaria-endemic area

   Relevance:

   Anemia and micronutrient deficiencies are widespread in sub-Saharan Africa, but the impact of food fortification is still debated. The objective of this study was to estimate the iron and vitamin A st

6. Conduct of a personal radiofrequency electromagnetic field measurement study: proposed study protocol (Publications)

   Conduct of a personal radiofrequency electromagnetic field measurement study: proposed study protocol

   Relevance:

   ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The development of new wireless communication technologies that emit radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) is ongoing, but little is known about the RF-EMF exposure dis

7. The association between exposure determined by radiofrequency personal exposimeters and human exposure: a simulation study (Publications)

   The association between exposure determined by radiofrequency personal exposimeters and human exposure: a simulation study

   Relevance:

   The selection of an adequate exposure assessment approach is imperative for the quality of epidemiological studies. The use of personal exposimeters turned out to be a reasonable approach to determine

8. Different genes interact with particulate matter and tobacco smoke exposure in affecting lung function decline in the general population (Publications)

   Different genes interact with particulate matter and tobacco smoke exposure in affecting lung function decline in the general population

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress related genes modify the effects of ambient air pollution or tobacco smoking on lung function decline. The impact of interactions might be substantial, but previous studie

9. Effect modification of immunoglobulin E-mediated atopy and rhinitis by glutathione S-transferase genotypes in passive smokers (Publications)

   Effect modification of immunoglobulin E-mediated atopy and rhinitis by glutathione S-transferase genotypes in passive smokers

   Relevance:

   Background Experimental studies suggest that glutathione S-transferase (GST) genotypes modify nasal allergen responses induced by secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure. Objective We aimed to investigate whe

10. Serum levels and genotype distribution of alpha1-antitrypsin in the general population (Publications)

    Serum levels and genotype distribution of alpha1-antitrypsin in the general population

    Relevance:

    RATIONALE: alpha1-Antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is one of the commonest rare respiratory disorders worldwide. Diagnosis, assessment of risk for developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
