Determinants of circulating insulin-like growth factor I and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 concentrations in a cohort of Singapore men... (Publications)
Variation in the circulating concentrations of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system has been implicated in the etiology of chronic diseases including cancer (prostate, breast, colon, and lung),
Increased and expedited case detection by Xpert MTB/RIF assay in childhood tuberculosis: a prospective cohort study (Publications)
Background. Diagnosis and timely treatment of tuberculosis in children is hampered by the absence of fast and reliable tests, especially in the era of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The aim of th
Cytotoxic and haemolytic steroidal glycosides from the Caribbean sponge <em>Pandaros acanthifolium</em> (Publications)
Six new steroidal saponins, pandarosides K-M (1-3) and their methyl esters (4-6), were isolated as minor components, after a careful chemical reinvestigation of the Caribbean sponge Pandaros acanthifo
Risk factors and spatial patterns of hookworm infection among schoolchildren in a rural area of western Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
This study is aimed at investigating the risk factors for hookworm infection among schoolchildren in a rural area of western Cote d'Ivoire and predicting and mapping the spatial distribution of infect
Total serum IgE levels are associated with ambient ozone concentration in asthmatic adults (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Effects of air pollution exposure on IgE-mediated response in asthmatics are poorly investigated. The aim was to examine the relationship between air pollution concentrations and total IgE
Monitoring of heavy metal concentrations in home outdoor air using moss bags (Publications)
One monitoring station is insufficient to characterize the high spatial variation of traffic-related heavy metals within cities. We tested moss bags (Hylocomium splendens), deployed in a dense network
