Antitrypanosomal activity of 5-nitro-2-aminothiazole-based compounds (Publications)
A small series of 5-nitro-2-aminothiazole-based amides containing arylpiperazine-, biphenyl- or aryloxyphenyl groups in their core were synthesized and evaluated as antitrypanosomatid agents. All test
Assessing the effects of malaria interventions on the geographical distribution of parasitaemia risk in Burkina Faso (Publications)

Back-extrapolated and year-specific NO land use regression models for Great Britain - Do they yield different exposure assessment? (Publications)
Robust methods to estimate historic population air pollution exposures are important tools for epidemiological studies evaluating long-term health effects. We developed land use regression (LUR) model
Effects of breastfeeding on respiratory symptoms in infancy (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of potential risk factors on the development of respiratory symptoms and their specific modification by breastfeeding in infants in the first year of life. STUDY DESIGN

African trypanosomes, exceptTrypanosoma brucei gambienseandTrypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, which cause human African trypanosomiasis, are lysed by the human serum protein apolipoprotein L1 (ApoL1). Th
Comparison of land-use regression modeling with dispersion and chemistry transport modeling to assign air pollution concentrations within the Ruhr... (Publications)
Two commonly used models to assess air pollution concentration for investigating health effects of air pollution in epidemiological studies are Land Use Regression (LUR) models and Dispersion and Chem
Safe start at home: what parents of newborns need after early discharge from hospital - a focus group study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The length of postpartum hospital stay is decreasing internationally. Earlier hospital discharge of mothers and newborns decreases postnatal care or transfers it to the outpatient setting.
