Contiguous spread of <em>Mycobacterium ulceran</em>s in Buruli ulcer lesions analysed by histopathology and real-time PCR quantification of... (Publications)
The distribution of M. ulcerans in Buruli ulcer lesions was analysed by IS2404 real-time PCR quantification of M. ulcerans DNA and by semi-quantitative microscopic assessment of the number of acid-fas
Years of life lost attributable to air pollution in Switzerland: dynamic exposure-response model (Publications)
BACKGROUND: There is debate on how the effect of air pollution should be assessed. We propose an approach to estimate its impact on adult and infant mortality that integrates data from long-term epide
Short-term effects of carbon monoxide on mortality: an analysis within the APHEA project (Publications)
OBJECTIVES: We investigated the short-term effects of carbon monoxide on total and cardiovascular mortality in 19 European cities participating in the APHEA-2 (Air Pollution and Health: A European App
Association of environmental factors with the onset of status epilepticus (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: The goal of the work described here was to investigate the influence of environmental factors on admissions of patients with status epilepticus (SE) to the intensive care unit (ICU). METHOD
Mortality from neurodegenerative disease and exposure to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields: 31 years of observations on Swiss railway employees (Publications)
AIMS: The objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship between extremely low-frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF) exposure and mortality from several neurodegenerative conditions in
Sense and sensibility in the context of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure (Publications)
The association between radiofrequency exposure (RF-EMF) and non-specific health complaints in electromagnetic hypersensitive (EHS) individuals was investigated in a prospective cohort study conducted
The genome, evolution and diversity of <em>Mycobacterium ulcerans</em> (Publications)
Mycobacterium ulcerans (M. ulcerans) causes a devastating infection of the skin and underlying tissue commonly known as Buruli ulcer (BU). Genetic analyses indicate that M. ulcerans has a common ances
What does detection of <em>Mycobacterium ulcerans</em> DNA in the margin of an excised Buruli ulcer lesion tell us? (Publications)
We determined the distribution of Mycobacterium ulcerans DNA by real-time PCR in the excised lesions of Buruli ulcer patients. In one of the patients a new lesion developed adjacent to the site of exc
Wireless communication fields and non-specific symptoms of ill health: a literature review (Publications)
This is an update of a previous systematic review on the association between radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure and health-related quality of life that included studies published b
