Leisure-time vigorous physical activity is associated with better lung function: the prospective ECRHS study (Publications)
at the first examination had higher FEV1 (43.6 mL (95% CI 12.0 to 75.1)) and FVC (53.9 mL (95% CI 17.8 to 89.9)) at both examinations than their non-active counterparts. These associations appeared restricted [...] were higher among those who changed from inactive to active during the follow-up (38.0 mL (95% CI 15.8 to 60.3) and 54.2 mL (95% CI 25.1 to 83.3), respectively) and who were consistently active, compared

prior to the discharge date. RESULTS: An IQR increase in O3 concentrations (85.8mug/m(3)) was associated with a 5% (95%CI: 2%-8%) decrease in the odds of discharge from hospital among children with ALRI.
Molecular epidemiology and seroprevalence in asymptomatic <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> infections of Malagasy pregnant women in the highlands (Publications)
antibodies against Plasmodium falciparum and 9.2% were carrying parasites, at the coast 95.6% and 14.8%, respectively. In the mean, 1.2 clones were detected in infected pregnant woman in the highlands and [...] higher level of monoclonal infections was found in the highlands (85.4%) compared to the coast (61.8%). Resistance markers for sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine were present only in two sites. CONCLUSION: Immunity
