Spiro- and dispiro-1,2-dioxolanes: contribution of iron(II)-mediated one-electron vs two-electron reduction to the activity of antimalarial peroxides (Publications)
Fourteen spiro- and dispiro-1,2-dioxolanes were synthesized by peroxycarbenium ion annulations with alkenes in yields ranging from 30% to 94%. Peroxycarbenium ion precursors included triethylsilyldipe
Comparative antiplasmodial, leishmanicidal and antitrypanosomal activities of several biflavonoids (Publications)
The antiplasmodial, leishmanicidal and antitrypanosomal activities of eight natural biflavonoids were estimated in vitro on a chloroquine-resistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum, axenically grown Le
Demographic and health surveillance of mobile pastoralists in Chad: integration of biometric fingerprint identification into a geographical... (Publications)

Visceral leishmaniasis: a threat to immunocompromised patients in non-endemic areas? (Publications)
Visceral leishmaniasis is rare in western Europe, but may be life-threatening in immunocompromised patients. It is therefore important to understand the incidence of the disease in a non-endemic area
Muscle fibre recruitment can respond to the mechanics of the muscle contraction (Publications)
This study investigates the motor unit recruitment patterns between and within muscles of the triceps surae during cycling on a stationary ergometer at a range of pedal speeds and resistances. Muscle
