CONCLUSIONS: Low levels of population structure [...] intensities. RESULTS: Diversity was very high with expected heterozygosity values ranging from 0.62 to 0.98 for the different markers. Effective population size was high (12'872 to 19'533 per site). In

In the mixed logistic model, RRs were 1.4 (95% CI: 0.8, 2.5) for in [...] intermediate and 1.3 (95% CI: 0.4, 4.4) for high. Data of the most influential country showed RRs of 1.1 (95% CI: 0.5, 2.4) and 1.7 (95% CI: 0.4, 7.2) for intermediate (8 cases) and high (2 cases) exposure

hookworm across all ages is estimated at 9.9% (95% Bayesian credible interval: 8.0-13.0%), 4.3% (3.0-7.3%), and 0.6% (0.4-0.9%), respectively. There were 24 out of 64 districts with an estimated populat [...] earth fraction was related to a high hookworm prevalence. Furthermore, we estimated that 30.5 (27.2; 36.0) million dosages of anthelmintic treatments for school-age children were required per year in Bangladesh

Associations of PM10 and FeNO differed between moderate to late preterm [3.4 (-0.1, 6.8) ppb] and term [-0.3 (-1.5, 0.9) ppb] infants [...] infants, the interaction with prematurity was significant (pprematurity x PM10 interaction = 0.006, padj = 0.036). Conclusion Preterm infants showed significant higher susceptibility even to low-to-moderate

The VASt = 0 and VASt [...] (VASt = 0 primary outcome) and after 2-5 minutes (VASt = 2-5). PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: In total, 48 children took part in the assessment. Overall, there was no reported difference in the VASt = 0 between the

Adjustment for physical activity abrogated this effect (beta = 0.23, p = 0.07), and a mediating effect of physical [...] physical activity on stress-associated inflammation was demonstrated (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: The analyses provide evidence for both a direct and an indirect effect of job strain on inflammation
