Of 10 parasitologically verified cases--all of them exhibiting a low and irregular egg output--8 were detected by histamine release, whereas 4 patient with filariasis, 3 with [...] histamine release test, RAST and IFAT all 10 cases were diagnosed. RAST and IFAT applied to 29 patients with active or treated schistosomiasis were positive in 14 (48%) and 20 (69%) cases, respectively

An IQR higher PM10 (2.0 microg/m3) or NO2 (7.4 microg/m3) was associated with higher triglycerides (1.9%, 95% CI: 1.5-2.4% and 2.2%, 95% CI: 1.6-2.7%), independent of adjustment [...] 3%) was seen. In Lifelines, an IQR higher noise (4.2 dB(A)) and PM10 (2.4 microg/m3) was associated with 0.2% (95% CI: 0.1-0.3%) and 0.6% (95% CI: 0.4-0.7%) higher fasting glucose respectively, with both [...] pollution (PM10, NO2) at residence was estimated for 2007 using a Land...
