Greenspace exposure and cancer incidence: a 27-year follow-up of the French GAZEL cohort (Publications)
greenspace for breast, lung, and colorectal cancers (e.g. breast cancer HR at 100 m buffer: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.69, 0.99). Non-significant associations were observed for prostate, bladder, and skin cancer. Stratified
Ambient carbon monoxide and daily mortality: a global time-series study in 337 cities (Publications)
1 mg/m(3) increase in the average CO concentration of the previous day was associated with a 0.91% (95% CI 0.32-1.50) increase in daily total mortality. The pooled exposure-response curve showed a continuously [...] greater risk of mortality per increment in CO exposure, and persisted at daily concentrations as low as 0.6 mg/m(3) or less. The association remained similar after adjustment for ozone but was attenuated after

All ticks were negative for Bartonella spp., Babesia [...] variegatum (n = 22, 7.5%), Rhipicephalus pulchellus (n = 19, 6.5%), and Rhipicephalus decoloratus (n = 9, 3.0%). Among all ticks, 32 (11%) were positive for Rickettsia spp. and 15 (5.2%) of these were identified
A cohort study of survival following discharge from hospital in rural Tanzanian children using linked data of admissions with community-based... (Publications)
Survivors of hospital discharge aged 0-5 years were almost two times more likely to die than children of the same age in the community who had not been admitted (RR = 1.9, P < 0.01, 95% CI 1.6, 2.4). Amongst [...] RESULTS: Between March 2003 and March 2007, demographic surveillance included 28,910 children aged 0 to 5 years and among them 831 (3%) were admitted at least once to the district hospital. From all the

miRNA signatures in Sera of patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis (Publications)
(CI 68.1-92.1), and 81% (65.0-90.3), respectively. The African-specific signature (12 miRNAs) increased the diagnostic accuracy up to 95% (CI 76.4-99.1), and 100% (83.9-100.0), respectively. Serum miRNA [...] 15 miRNAs serve as signature for H and PTB categories with a diagnostic accuracy of 82% (CI 70.2-90.0), and 77% (CI 64.2-85.9) in a RVM and a logistic classification model, respectively. Considering the
