High prevalence of nonconvulsive and subtle status epilepticus in an ICU of a tertiary care center: a three-year observational cohort study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Status epilepticus is one of the most important neurological emergencies and requires immediate therapy and admission to the intensive care unit. We hypothesized that nonconvulsive and sub
Estimating the duration of Plasmodium falciparum infection from trials of indoor residual spraying (Publications)
We reviewed the use of simple mathematical models to estimate the duration of Plasmodium falciparum infection after transmission has been interrupted. We then fit an exponential decay model to repeate
Quality of drinking-water at source and point-of-consumption-drinking cup as a high potential recontamination risk: a field study in Bolivia (Publications)
In-house contamination of drinking-water is a persistent problem in developing countries. This study aimed at identifying critical points of contamination and determining the extent of recontamination
Spatial variability of different fractions of particulate matter within an urban environment and between urban and rural sites (Publications)
The spatial variability of different fractions of particulate matter (PM) was investigated in the city of Basel, Switzerland, based on measurements performed throughout 1997 with a mobile monitoring s
Statistical analysis of personal radiofrequency electromagnetic field measurements with nondetects (Publications)
Exposimeters are increasingly applied in bioelectromagnetic research to determine personal radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure. The main advantages of exposimeter measurements are t
Monepantel allosterically activates DEG-3/DES-2 channels of the gastrointestinal nematode <em>Haemonchus contortus</em> (Publications)
Monepantel is the first drug of a new family of anthelmintics, the amino acetonitrile derivatives (AAD), presently used to treat ruminants infected with gastrointestinal nematodes such as Haemonchus c
Exposure to moulds and actinomycetes in Alpine farms: a nested environmental study of the PASTURE cohort (Publications)
Several studies have suggested that children exposed to a farm environment are protected against allergies and asthma. The present work is an environmental study nested within the PASTURE cohort and i
Evaluation des VNTR (variable number of tandem repeats) des isolats de <em>Mycobacterium bovis</em> en Algérie (Publications)
The discriminatory potency of variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR), based on 7 loci (MIRU 26, 27 and 5 ETRs A, B, C, D, E) was assayed on Mycobacterium bovis strains obtained from samples due to t
