A comparison of linear regression, regularization, and machine learning algorithms to develop Europe-wide spatial models of fine particles and... (Publications)
Empirical spatial air pollution models have been applied extensively to assess exposure in epidemiological studies with increasingly sophisticated and complex statistical algorithms beyond ordinary li
An unusually broad series of seven cyclombandakamines, bridged dimeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids from the Congolese liana <em>Ancistrocladus... (Publications)
A series of seven unusual dimeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids was isolated from the leaves of the tropical liana Ancistrocladus ealaensis J. Leonard, named cyclombandakamine A (1), 1-epi-cyclomband
The mediating effect of immune markers on the association between ambient air pollution and adult-onset asthma (Publications)
We aim to investigate to what extent a set of immune markers mediate the association between air pollution and adult-onset asthma. We considered long-term exposure to multiple air pollution markers an
Human behaviour and residual malaria transmission in Zanzibar: findings from in-depth interviews and direct observation of community events (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Zanzibar has maintained malaria prevalence below 1% for the past decade, yet elimination remains elusive despite high coverage of core vector control interventions. As part of a study inve
Activity and pharmacokinetics of a praziquantel crystalline polymorph in the <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> mouse model (Publications)
Schistosomiasis is a global disease of significant public health relevance. Only one racemic drug, praziquantel, characterized by low bioavailability low water solubility and extensive first pass meta
Transfigurations of health and the moral economy of medicine: subjectivities, materialities, values (Publications)
This special issue explores the deep entanglements between medicine, law, politics, morality and economy in the contemporary world order and asks how these entwinements shape illness experiences and f
Association between long-term air pollution exposure and DNA methylation: the REGICOR study (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Limited evidence suggests that epigenetic mechanisms may partially mediate the adverse effects of air pollution on health. Our aims were to identify new genomic loci showing differential
Geographical variation in the association of child, maternal and household health interventions with under-five mortality in Burkina Faso (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Over the past 15 years, scaling up of cost effective interventions resulted in a remarkable decline of under-five mortality rates (U5MR) in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the reduction shows
