Very high carriage of gametocytes in asymptomatic low-density <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> and <em>P. vivax</em> infections in western Thailand (Publications)
highly associated with P. falciparum (OR = 9.0, P = 0.001) but not P. vivax infections (P = 0.13). A large number of P. vivax (71.5%) and P. falciparum (72.0%) infections were gametocyte positive by pvs25/pfs25 [...] individuals were found infected with P. vivax (3.09%), 37 with P. falciparum (0.86%), and 11 with mixed P. vivax/ P. falciparum (0.26%). The clear majority of both P. vivax (91.7%) and P. falciparum (89.8%) [...] numbers, a measure of gametocyte density, were also highly correlated...
Malaria control across borders: quasi-experimental evidence from the Trans-Kunene malaria initiative (TKMI) (Publications)
54% (aOR: 0.46, 95% CI 0.29 to 0.73) over the intervention period. In Namibia, the programme reduced the odds of fever by 30% in areas without simultaneous Angolan efforts (aOR: 0.70, 95% CI 0.34 to 1.44) [...] Angola, the programme was highly effective in areas within 5 km of Namibian programmes (OR: 0.37, 95% CI 0.22 to 0.62), but mostly ineffective in areas closer to inland Angolan areas without concurrent a

In a receiver operating characteristic analysis for the prediction of in-hospital cardiac events, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for BNP was 0.86 (95% confidence [...] confidence interval 0.74-0.99). The optimal predictive accuracy was achieved with a BNP threshold of 174 pg ml(-1). Importantly, the combination of BNP and the American Society of Anesthesiologists score [...] with known cardiac diseases [area under the receiver operating...
Use of portable exposure meters for comparing mobile phone base station radiation in different types of areas in the cities of Basel and Amsterdam (Publications)
RESULTS: Exposure from mobile phone base stations ranged from 0.30 to 0.53V/m in downtown and business areas and in residential areas from 0.09 to 0.41V/m. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) demonstrated that me [...] of approximately 30min) with only 0.6% of the variance of all measurements from mobile phone base station radiation being explained by the measurement day and only 0.2% by the measurement time (morning
