Comparison of light scattering devices and impactors for particulate measurements in indoor, outdoor, and personal environments (Publications)
Short-term monitoring of individual particulate matter (PM) exposures on subjects and inside residences in health effect studies have been sparse due to the lack of adequate monitoring devices. The re
Characterization of source-specific air pollution exposure for a large population-based Swiss cohort (SAPALDIA) (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Although the dispersion model approach has been used in some epidemiologic studies to examine health effects of traffic-specific air pollution, no study has evaluated the model predictions
AID protein expression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma is associated with poor prognosis and complex genetic alterations (Publications)
The biological behavior of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma is unpredictable. Nonetheless, non-mutated IgV(H) gene rearrangement, ATM (11q22-23) and p53 (17p13) deletion are
Lanosterol induces mitochondrial uncoupling and protects dopaminergic neurons from cell death in a model for Parkinson's disease (Publications)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by the selective degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the nigrostriatal pathway. Several lines of evidence indicate that mitochondria
Lay health workers in primary and community health care for maternal and child health and the management of infectious diseases (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Lay health workers (LHWs) are widely used to provide care for a broad range of health issues. Little is known, however, about the effectiveness of LHW interventions. OBJECTIVES: To assess
Global metabolic responses of NMRI mice to an experimental <em>Plasmodium berghei</em> infection (Publications)
We present a metabolism-driven top-down systems biology approach to characterize metabolic changes in the mouse resulting from an infection with Plasmodium berghei, using high-resolution (1)H NMR spec
Epidemiology of <em>Schistosoma japonicum</em> in China: morbidity and strategies for control in the Dongting Lake region (Publications)
Dongting Lake, covering a very large surface water area of 2691km(2), is located in Hunan Province in the southern part of the People's Republic of China. It is the second-largest freshwater lake in C
