An attributable risk model for exposures assumed to cause both chronic disease and its exacerbations (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Many chronic diseases are the product of an underlying pathologic condition and superimposed acute exacerbations. This model may apply to several conditions such as asthma, other obstructi
Reference equations for lung function screening of healthy never-smoking adults aged 18-80 years (Publications)
The need for updated spirometric reference values to be used on European populations is widely acknowledged, especially for subjects aged > 70 yrs. Their reference values are generally based on extrap
Synthesis and antitrypanosomal evaluation of derivatives of N-benzyl-1,2-dihydroquinolin-6-ols: effect of core substitutions and salt formation (Publications)
Analogs of the trypanocidal lead compound 1-benzyl-1,2-dihydro-2,2,4-trimethylquinolin-6-yl acetate were prepared to extend the structure-activity relationship in this series of molecules, improve the
A Bayesian approach to estimate the age-specific prevalence of <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> and implications for schistosomiasis control (Publications)
Models that accurately estimate the age-specific infection prevalence of Schistosoma mansoni can be useful for schistosomiasis control programmes, particularly with regard to whether mass drug adminis
Increased and expedited case detection by Xpert MTB/RIF assay in childhood tuberculosis: a prospective cohort study (Publications)
Background. Diagnosis and timely treatment of tuberculosis in children is hampered by the absence of fast and reliable tests, especially in the era of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The aim of th
The <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> family of Rab GTPases (Publications)
Rab GTPases are key regulators of vesicular traffic in eukaryotic cells. Here we sought a global characterization and description of the Plasmodium falciparum family of Rab GTPases. We used a combinat
