Comparison of three copromicroscopic methods to assess albendazole efficacy against soil-transmitted helminth infections in school-aged children on... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The diagnostic accuracy of three faecal egg count techniques (Kato-Katz, McMaster and FLOTAC) to assess albendazole efficacy against soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections was compared
Soluble immunoglobulin A in breast milk is inversely associated with atopic dermatitis at early age: the PASTURE cohort study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The role of breast feeding for the development of atopic diseases in childhood is contradictory. This might be due to differences in the composition of breast milk and levels of anti-micro
Measurement error in epidemiologic studies of air pollution based on land-use regression models (Publications)
Land-use regression (LUR) models are increasingly used to estimate air pollution exposure in epidemiologic studies. These models use air pollution measurements taken at a small set of locations and mo
Activities of psilostachyin A and cynaropicrin against <em>Trypanosoma cruzi</em> in vitro and in vivo (Publications)
In vitro and in vivo activities against Trypanosoma cruzi were evaluated for two sesquiterpene lactones: psilostachyin A and cynaropicrin. Cynaropicrin had previously been shown to potently inhibit Af
Natural product derived antiprotozoal agents: synthesis, biological evaluation, and structure-activity relationships of novel chromene and chromane... (Publications)
Various natural products with the chromane and chromene scaffold exhibit high antiprotozoal activity. The natural product encecalin (7) served as key intermediate for the synthesis of different ethers
Improved characterization of visual evoked potentials in multiple sclerosis by topographic analysis (Publications)
In multiple sclerosis (MS), the combination of visual, somatosensory and motor evoked potentials (EP) has been shown to be highly correlated with the Expanded Disability Severity Scale (EDSS) and to p
Noncrop flowering plants restore top-down herbivore control in agricultural fields (Publications)
Herbivore populations are regulated by bottom-up control through food availability and quality and by top-down control through natural enemies. Intensive agricultural monocultures provide abundant foo
