Patients with severe schistosomiasis mekongi morbidity in southern Lao People's Democratic Republic demonstrating ongoing transmission (Publications)
mekongi control programs aimed to prevent morbidity and mortality associated with infection. We report on eight patients with severe morbidity due to S. mekongi infection. The patients were diagnosed [...] eight years after the end of a control intervention. The patients were visited and interviewed annually. In addition, clinical and abdominal ultrasound examinations were performed and faecal and blood
Long-term exposure to traffic-related PM10 and decreased heart rate variability: is the association restricted to subjects taking ACE inhibitors? (Publications)
HRV in older subjects and/or in participants taking specific cardiovascular treatment or with self-reported heart disease. METHODS: We included 1607 subjects from the general population aged 50 to 72years [...] SAPALDIA cohort underwent ambulatory 24-hr electrocardiogram monitoring. Associations of average annual exposure to TPM(10) over 10years with HRV parameters from time and frequency domains were estimated

The report presents comprehensive analysis covering the period [...] 2018 and 2019. Starting from the summer of 2023, Swiss TPH will now monitor heat-related deaths annually. Swiss TPH carries out this monitoring on behalf of the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN)
Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH). In the past 7 years, the number of reported cases has more than doubled, reaching an annual incidence of 7.8 cases per 100'000 population in 2021. The cause for this
disease is notifiable to the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health. Over the past ten years, annual reported incidence rates of Legionnaires’ disease in Switzerland increased continuously. The reason for [...] diagnostic practices of laboratories on the other hand; all those factors are influencing disease reporting and shape the so-called “burden of illness pyramid”.

Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and asthma symptom score in the CONSTANCES cohort (Publications)
Asthma symptom score (range: 0-5) was based on the number of five self-reported symptoms of asthma in the last 12 months. Annual individual exposure to PM2.5, BC and NO2 was estimated at participants'
