Applications of quantitative microbial risk assessment to respiratory pathogens and implications for uptake in policy: a state-of-the-science review (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Respiratory tract infections are major contributors to the global disease burden. Quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) holds potential as a rapidly deployable framework to underst
Robenidine derivatives as potential antischistosomal drug candidates (Publications)
Schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma spp. is a disease that causes a considerable health burden to millions of people worldwide. The limited availability of effective drugs on the market and the incr
Ensemble modeling highlights importance of understanding parasite-host behavior in preclinical antimalarial drug development (Publications)
Emerging drug resistance and high-attrition rates in early and late stage drug development necessitate accelerated development of antimalarial compounds. However, systematic and meaningful translation
Ultradian modulation of cortical arousals during sleep: effects of age and exposure to nighttime transportation noise (Publications)
STUDY OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed at assessing the temporal non-rapid eye movement (NREM) EEG arousal distribution within and across sleep cycles and its modifications with aging and nighttime
Concurrently measured concentrations of atmospheric mercury in indoor (household) and outdoor air of Basel, Switzerland (Publications)
Indoor air pollution can be a major health risk because urban populations spend up to 90% of their time in closed rooms. Gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) has not been measured as routinely as other ind
Aging does not impact drug-drug interaction magnitudes with antiretrovirals: a Swiss HIV Cohort Study (Publications)
The risk of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is elevated in aging people living with HIV (PLWH) due to highly prevalent age-related comorbidities leading to more comedications. To investigate the impact
Physical discipline, deprivation, and differential risk of developmental delay across 17 countries (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: Parenting behaviors have largely been studied in isolation with regard to child development in cross-national contexts. We examine and compare the relative strength of association between p
Short communication on the use of a free rabies hotline service in Chad (Publications)
As part of the activities of a project to estimate burden of rabies and vaccine demand in Chad, funded by GAVI, we set up a free hotline service to guide the population and related public services in
