Stability of measured and modelled spatial contrasts in NO2 over time (Publications)
contrasts in outdoor NO(2) in 1999-2000 and 2007. LUR models predicted spatial contrast 8 years in the past (2007 model) and 8 years in the future (1999-2000 model) well. This supports the use of LUR models in [...] modelled spatial contrasts in outdoor nitrogen dioxide (NO(2)) pollution across the Netherlands over 8 years. METHODS: NO(2) measurements were conducted at 40 locations in the Netherlands in 1999-2000. In

occurring cecal dilatation-dislocation (CDD) and compare findings with those in healthy cows. ANIMALS: 8 CDD-affected and 6 healthy control cows. PROCEDURES: Immediately after diagnosis, CDD-affected cows [...] underwent surgery; control cows underwent a similar surgical procedure. Before completion of surgery, 8 bipolar silver electrodes were implanted in the ileum (n = 2), cecum (1), PLAC (1), and spiral colon [...] (4) of each cow. Beginning the day after surgery, intestinal myoelectric...

Incidence and predictors of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome in a rural area of Mozambique (Publications)
ART initiation (IQR 35.5-93.5). Twenty-five cases (69.4%) were "unmasking", 10 (27.8%) were "paradoxical", and 1 (2.8%) developed a paradoxical worsening followed by the unmasking of another condition [...] condition. Systemic OI (OI-IRIS) accounted for 47% (17/36) of IRIS cases, predominantly of KS (8 cases) and TB (6 cases) IRIS. Mucocutaneous IRIS manifestations (MC-IRIS) accounted for 53% (19/36) of IRIS events

Corresponding egg reduction rates were 99.8% (95% CI 99.7-100.0) with one 200 mg tablet, 97.9% (95.9-99.2) with four 50 mg tablets, 99.9% (99.8-100.0) with 400 mg, and 99.8% (99.6-99.9) with 600 mg. The Emax [...] patients (42.6%, 28.3-57.8) were cured in the 50 mg group, and 34 of 44 patients (77.3%, 62.2-88.5) were cured in the 100 mg group; geometric mean egg reduction rates were 86.9% (95% CI 74.8-93.4), 95.9% (92.7-97 [...] We did two randomised, parallel-group, single-blind, dose-ranging,...
