Therapeutic effects of whole-body devices applying pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF): a systematic literature review (Publications)
Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) delivered by whole-body mats are promoted in many countries for a wide range of therapeutic applications and for enhanced well-being. However, neither the therapeu
Cytokeratin 8 is a suitable epidermal marker during zebrafish development (Publications)
We have cloned and characterized the zebrafish (Danio rerio) homologous cytokeratin 8 (zf-K8) cDNA. This cytokeratin belongs to the gene family of intermediate filaments and it is a component of the c
Real-time PCR detection and quantification of vector trichodorid nematodes and <em>Tobacco rattle virus</em> (Publications)
This report describes a novel diagnostic method for virus-vector trichodorid nematodes and associated Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) based on a real-time fluorogenic 5' nuclease PCR assay (TaqMan). Two in

Fear of negative evaluation (FNE) is regarded as being the core feature of social anxiety. The present study examined how FNE is associated with physical activity (PA), body mass index (BMI) and perce
A prospective study of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> multiplicity of infection and morbidity in Tanzanian children (Publications)
Several studies suggest that in individuals with substantial previous exposure to malaria, co-infection with multiple clones of Plasmodium falciparum can protect against subsequent clinical malaria at
<em>Mycobacterium intracellulare</em> infection in non-HIV infected patient in a region with a high burden of tuberculosis (Publications)
Data on non-tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) infection in non-HIV patients in Tanzania are scarce. However, NTM infections are emerging in Africa as in many parts of the world. Healthcare providers and
Prediction of residential radon exposure of the whole Swiss population: comparison of model-based predictions with measurement based predictions (Publications)
Radon plays an important role for human exposure to natural sources of ionizing radiation. The aim of this paper is to compare two approaches to estimate mean radon exposure in the Swiss population: m
