Cost-effectiveness of the introduction of a pre-erythrocytic malaria vaccine into the expanded program on immunization in Sub-Saharan Africa: analysis... (Publications)
n was simulated in populations of 100,000 people at 10 different entomological inoculation rates (EIRs), using an existing stochastic model and a 10-year time horizon. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios [...] life-year averted, 52.4% of parameterizations predicted cost-effectiveness in the primary analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Cost-effectiveness of RTS,S will be maximal in low endemicity settings (EIR 2-20 ibpa). Widespread [...] always substantially exceeded case management savings. Optimal...

Muscle pain (OR: 1.3; 95% CI: 1.0 - 1.6; P = 0.028) and urticaria (OR: 1.4; 95% CI: 1.1 - 1.8; P = 0.001) were significantly associated with S. stercoralis infection. CONCLUSIONS: S. stercoralis is [...] technique on a single stool sample. RESULTS: Eight intestinal helminth...

Long-term air pollution exposure is associated with increased severity of rhinitis in 2 European cohorts (Publications)
rhinitis severity was 4 (2-6). Higher exposure to PM10 was associated with higher rhinitis severity (adjusted odds ratio [95% CI] for a 10 mug/m(3) increase in PM10: for mild: 1.20 [0.88-1.64], moderate: [...] Respiratory Health Survey) were included. Annual exposure to NO2, PM10, PM2.5, and PMcoarse (calculated by subtracting PM2.5 from PM10) was estimated using land-use regression models derived from the European
