Lack of association between the polyadenylation polymorphism in the NAT1 (acetyltransferase 1) gene and colorectal adenomas (Publications)
Smoking and a high intake of red meat are risk factors for colorectal tumors. These effects could be due to aromatic amine carcinogens. Individual susceptibility to aromatic amines has been related to
Monitoring of 1-min personal particulate matter exposures in relation to voice-recorded time-activity data (Publications)
Recent studies on the association between exposures to airborne particulate matter (PM) and disease have identified short-term peaks in PM exposures as posing especial health threats. Lightweight pers
Comparative immunogenicity of a PreS/S hepatitis B vaccine in non- and low responders to conventional vaccine12 (Publications)
Conventional hepatitis B vaccines do not elicit adequate antibody production in 5-10% vaccinees. This trial tests the ability of a third-generation vaccine, containing PreS1 and PreS2 antigens in addi

The chemical composition of the Caribbean sponge Pandaros acanthifolium was reinvestigated and led to the isolation of 12 new steroidal glycosides, namely, pandarosides E-J (1-6) and their methyl este
Summary of the animal homologue section of HLDA8 (Publications)
Development of reagents against leukocyte differentiation antigens in veterinary immunology is slower compared to humans and mice. Cross-reactivity studies with monoclonal antibodies (mAb) generated a
Lack of associations of alpha(+) - thalassemia with the risk of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> and <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> infection and disease in... (Publications)
Despite consistent evidence of a protective effect of alpha(+)-thalassemia against severe Plasmodium falciparum disease, the mechanisms underlying this protection remain unknown. An increase in risk o
Sleepless night, the moon is bright: longitudinal study of lunar phase and sleep (Publications)
Popular belief holds that the lunar cycle affects human physiology, behaviour and health. We examined the influence of moon phase on sleep duration in a secondary analysis of a feasibility study of mo
