Lab-on-chip based platform for fast molecular diagnosis of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (Publications)
We evaluated the performance of the molecular lab-on-chip-based VerePLEX Biosystem for detection of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, obtaining diagnostic accuracy over 97.8% compared to sequencing a
Conduct of a personal radiofrequency electromagnetic field measurement study: proposed study protocol (Publications)
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The development of new wireless communication technologies that emit radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) is ongoing, but little is known about the RF-EMF exposure dis
The association between exposure determined by radiofrequency personal exposimeters and human exposure: a simulation study (Publications)
The selection of an adequate exposure assessment approach is imperative for the quality of epidemiological studies. The use of personal exposimeters turned out to be a reasonable approach to determine
<em>Strongyloides stercoralis</em> larvae excretion patterns before and after treatment (Publications)
SUMMARY The variability of larval excretion impedes the parasitological diagnosis of Strongyloides stercoralis in infected individuals. We assessed the number of larvae excreted per gram (LPG) stool i
High prevalence and spatial distribution of <em>Strongyloides stercoralis</em> in rural Cambodia (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The threadworm, Strongyloides stercoralis, endemic in tropical and temperate climates, is a neglected tropical disease. Its diagnosis requires specific methods, and accurate information on
Historic air pollution exposure and long-term mortality risks in England and Wales: prospective longitudinal cohort study (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Long-term air pollution exposure contributes to mortality but there are few studies examining effects of very long-term (> 25 years) exposures. METHODS: This study investigated modelled
A personal, distributed exposimeter: procedure for design, calibration, validation, and application (Publications)
This paper describes, for the first time, the procedure for the full design, calibration, uncertainty analysis, and practical application of a personal, distributed exposimeter (PDE) for the detection
Retirement and perceived social inferiority strongly link with health inequalities in older age: decomposition of a concentration index of poor health... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Identifying mechanisms that generate and sustain health inequalities is a prerequisite for developing effective policy response, but little is known about factors contributing to health in
