Trends and inequalities in cardiovascular disease mortality across 7932 English electoral wards, 1982-2006: Bayesian spatial analysis (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality has more than halved in England since the 1980s, but there are few data on small-area trends. We estimated CVD mortality by ward in 5-year intervals
Large scale air pollution estimation method combining land use regression and chemical transport modeling in a geostatistical framework (Publications)
In recognition that intraurban exposure gradients may be as large as between-city variations, recent air pollution epidemiologic studies have become increasingly interested in capturing within-city ex
Adult cancers near high-voltage overhead power lines (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Extremely low-frequency magnetic fields are designated as possibly carcinogenic in humans, based on an epidemiologic association with childhood leukemia. Evidence for associations with adu
Comparison of axillary, rectal and tympanic temperature measurements in children admitted with malaria (Publications)
We compared axillary, rectal and tympanic temperatures in children admitted with severe malaria. The axillary temperatures were 0.74 degrees C (95% limits of agreement -0.85 to 2.33 degrees C) less th
<em>Ex vivo</em> interferon-gamma immune response to thrombospondin-related adhesive protein in coastal Kenyans: longevity and risk of <em>Plasmodium... (Publications)
Thrombospondin-related adhesive protein (TRAP) of Plasmodium falciparum is currently being tested in human vaccine studies. However, its natural reactivity in the field remains poorly characterized. M
