Effect of ageing on antiretroviral drug pharmacokinetics using clinical data combined with modelling and simulation (Publications)
AIMS: The impact of ageing on antiretroviral pharmacokinetics remains uncertain, leading to missing dosing recommendations for elderly people living with HIV (PLWH). The objective of this study was to
Typology, technical efficiency and scale economy of <em>dibiteries </em>in Dakar, Senegal (Publications)
BACKGROUND: In recent years, a profound transformation has been observed in the eating habits of the populations of African cities, induced by accelerated socioeconomic and demographic growth. In Sene
Molecular methods for tracking residual <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>transmission in a close-to-elimination setting in Zanzibar (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Molecular detection of low-density Plasmodium falciparum infections is essential for surveillance studies conducted to inform malaria control strategies in close-to-elimination settings. M
Efficiency and stability evaluation of Cu2O/MWCNTs filters for virus removal from water (Publications)
Both multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and metal or metal oxides have demonstrated virus removal efficacy in drinking water applications. In this study, MWCNTs were coated with copper(I) oxide (C
Epigenome-wide association study of DNA methylation and adult asthma in the agricultural lung health study (Publications)
Epigenome-wide studies of methylation in children support a role for epigenetic mechanisms in asthma. Studies in adults are rare, and few have examined non-atopic asthma. We conducted the largest epig
Sub-national stratification of malaria risk in mainland Tanzania: a simplified assembly of survey and routine data (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Recent malaria control efforts in mainland Tanzania have led to progressive changes in the prevalence of malaria infection in children, from 18.1% (2008) to 7.3% (2017). As the landscape o
Body mass index and weight change are associated with adult lung function trajectories: the prospective ECRHS study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported an association between weight increase and excess lung function decline in young adults followed for short periods. We aimed to estimate lung function trajec
The duration of chemoprophylaxis against malaria after treatment with artesunate-amodiaquine and artemether-lumefantrine and the effects of <em>pfmdr1... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The majority of Plasmodium falciparum malaria cases in Africa are treated with the artemisinin combination therapies artemether-lumefantrine (AL) and artesunate-amodiaquine (AS-AQ), with a
