A MALDI-TOF MS library for rapid identification of human commensal gut bacteria from the class <em>Clostridia</em> (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Microbial isolates from culture can be identified using 16S or whole-genome sequencing which generates substantial costs and requires time and expertise. Protein fingerprinting via Matri
Assessing the variability in experimental hut trials evaluating insecticide-treated nets against malaria vectors (Publications)
Experimental hut trials (EHTs) are used to evaluate indoor vector control interventions against malaria vectors in a controlled setting. The level of variability present in the assay will influence wh
Upscaling cervical cancer screening and treatment for women living with HIV at a rural referral hospital in Tanzania: protocol of a before-and-after... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer (CC) is nearly always caused by persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. It is the most common cancer among women living with HIV (WLWH) and is the leading cause of
Ambient air quality standards and policies in Eastern Mediterranean countries: a review (Publications)
Objectives: National ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) are critical tools for controlling air pollution and protecting public health. We designed this study to 1) gather the NAAQS for six classica
Explorative assessment of the temperature–mortality association to support health-based heat-warning thresholds: a national case-crossover study in... (Publications)
Defining health-based thresholds for effective heat warnings is crucial for climate change adaptation strategies. Translating the non-linear function between heat and health effects into an effective
Global, regional, and national burden of mortality associated with short-term temperature variability from 2000-19: a three-stage modelling study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Increased mortality risk is associated with short-term temperature variability. However, to our knowledge, there has been no comprehensive assessment of the temperature variability-related
Model validation for a knowledge and practices survey towards prevention of soil-transmitted helminth infections in rural villages in Indonesia (Publications)
The rate of soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infection is estimated to be around 20% in Indonesia. Health promotion and health education are cost-effective strategies to supplement STH prevention and c
