Predictors of disease severity in children presenting from the community with febrile illnesses: a systematic review of prognostic studies (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Early identification of children at risk of severe febrile illness can optimise referral, admission and treatment decisions, particularly in resource-limited settings. We aimed to identi
Predicting the impact of outdoor vector control interventions on malaria transmission intensity from semi-field studies (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Semi-field experiments with human landing catch (HLC) measure as the outcome are an important step in the development of novel vector control interventions against outdoor transmission of
Foliar nutrient concentrations of European beech in Switzerland: relations with nitrogen deposition, ozone, climate and soil chemistry (Publications)
Excess deposition of the mineral nutrient nitrogen (N) is a serious threat for European forests. Its effect on foliar nutrient concentrations of Fagus sylvatica, along with other predictors, was analy
3D imaging of undissected optically cleared <em>Anopheles stephensi </em>mosquitoes and midguts infected with <em>Plasmodium</em> parasites (Publications)
Malaria is a life-threatening disease, caused by Apicomplexan parasites of the Plasmodium genus. The Anopheles mosquito is necessary for the sexual replication of these parasites and for their transmi
Bacterial genome-wide association study of hyper-virulent pneumococcal serotype 1 identifies genetic variation associated with neurotropism (Publications)
Hyper-virulent Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 1 strains are endemic in Sub-Saharan Africa and frequently cause lethal meningitis outbreaks. It remains unknown whether genetic variation in serotype
Core components and impact of nurse-led integrated care models for home-dwelling older people: a systematic review and meta-analysis (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Integrated care models are highly recommended to overcome care fragmentation in the multimorbid older population. Nurses are potentially ideally situated to fulfil the role as care coordin
Activation, structure, biosynthesis and bioactivity of glidobactin-like proteasome inhibitors from <em>Photorhabdus laumondii</em> (Publications)
The glidobactin-like natural products (GLNPs) glidobactin A and cepafungin I have been reported to be potent proteasome inhibitors and are regarded as promising candidates for anti-cancer drug develop
Unusual derivatives from <em>Hypericum scabrum</em> (Publications)
Three new compounds (1-3) with unusual skeletons were isolated from the n-hexane extract of the air-dried aerial parts of Hypericum scabrum. Compound 1 represents the first example of an esterified po
