Therapeutic effects of whole-body devices applying pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF): a systematic literature review (Publications)
Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) delivered by whole-body mats are promoted in many countries for a wide range of therapeutic applications and for enhanced well-being. However, neither the therapeu
Cytokeratin 8 is a suitable epidermal marker during zebrafish development (Publications)
We have cloned and characterized the zebrafish (Danio rerio) homologous cytokeratin 8 (zf-K8) cDNA. This cytokeratin belongs to the gene family of intermediate filaments and it is a component of the c
Anaerobic performance in 5- to 7-yr-old children of low birthweight (Publications)
PURPOSE: This study was intended to determine whether anaerobic muscle performance is deficient in 5- to 7-yr-old children of extremely low birthweight (ELBW, 500-999 g) and very low birthweight (VLBW
Clonorchicidal properties of the synthetic trioxolane OZ78 (Publications)
Because the synthetic trioxolane OZ78 is active against the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica, we were motivated to investigate the in vivo and in vitro activity against another liver fluke, namely Clonor
Confounding and effect modification in the short-term effects of ambient particles on total mortality: results from 29 European cities within the... (Publications)
We present the results of the Air Pollution and Health: A European Approach 2 (APHEA2) project on short-term effects of ambient particles on mortality with emphasis on effect modification. We used dai
Beijing sublineages of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> differ in pathogenicity in the Guinea pig (Publications)
The Beijing family of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains is part of lineage 2 (also known as the East Asian lineage). In clinical studies, we have observed that isolates from the sublineage RD207 of l
Artemisinins and synthetic trioxolanes in the treatment of helminth infections (Publications)
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Helminthiases, including schistosomiasis and food-borne trematodiasis, affect millions of people. Just a few drugs are used for the treatment and control of these diseases. We revie
<em>Fasciola hepatica</em>: surface tegumental responses to in vitro and in vivo treatment with the experimental fasciolicide OZ78 (Publications)
The tegumental alterations in adult Fasciola hepatica induced by the experimental fasciolide OZ78 were investigated utilizing scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Twelve weeks post-infection with F. he
