Predictors of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome-associated with kaposi sarcoma in mozambique: a prospective study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The impact and relevance of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome-associated with Kaposi sarcoma (IRIS-KS) has not been assessed in sub-Saharan African countries, where the bulk of H
Land use regression models for estimating individual NOx and NO2 exposures in a metropolis with a high density of traffic roads and population (Publications)
This study is conducted to characterize the intra-urban distribution of NOx and NO2; develop land use regression (LUR) models to assess outdoor NOx and NO2 concentrations, using the ESCAPE modeling ap
Aircraft noise and cardiovascular disease near Heathrow airport in London: small area study (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of aircraft noise with risk of stroke, coronary heart disease, and cardiovascular disease in the general population. DESIGN: Small area study. SETTING: 12 Lon
Incidence of respiratory viruses among travelers with a febrile syndrome returning from tropical and subtropical areas (Publications)
Fifty million people are estimated to travel from industrial countries to the tropics annually. In spite of exhaustive studies and widely different diagnosis among returned patients, some cases of feb
Severe malaria and concomitant bacteraemia in children admitted to a rural Mozambican hospital (Publications)
OBJECTIVES: To describe the prevalence, aetiology and prognostic implications of coexisting invasive bacterial disease in children admitted with severe malaria in a rural Mozambican Hospital. METHODS:
Ambient air pollution and low birthweight: a European cohort study (ESCAPE) (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Ambient air pollution has been associated with restricted fetal growth, which is linked with adverse respiratory health in childhood. We assessed the effect of maternal exposure to low con
Trends and inequalities in cardiovascular disease mortality across 7932 English electoral wards, 1982-2006: Bayesian spatial analysis (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality has more than halved in England since the 1980s, but there are few data on small-area trends. We estimated CVD mortality by ward in 5-year intervals
Large scale air pollution estimation method combining land use regression and chemical transport modeling in a geostatistical framework (Publications)
In recognition that intraurban exposure gradients may be as large as between-city variations, recent air pollution epidemiologic studies have become increasingly interested in capturing within-city ex
