Adaptation and validation of a light microscope for use in energy insecure settings: a proof-of-concept study (Publications)
Microscopy as a basic diagnostic method cannot be used everywhere globally. Validity of slide reading was tested on torch-modified microscopes. Experienced microscopists handled the modification witho
All-cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality and wildfire-related ozone: a multicountry two-stage time series analysis (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Wildfire activity is an important source of tropospheric ozone (O(3)) pollution. However, no study to date has systematically examined the associations of wildfire-related O(3) exposure wi

Structure-activity relationship studies of 2,8-disubstituted-1,5-naphthyridines, previously reported as potent inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) phosphatidylinositol-4-kinase β (PI4K), identifi
Genetic characterization and population structure of drug-resistant <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> isolated from Brazilian patients using... (Publications)
The present study aimed to determine the genetic diversity of isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) from presumed drug-resistant tuberculosis patients from several states of Brazil. The isolate
RAIN: machine learning-based identification for HIV-1 bNAbs (Publications)
Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) are promising candidates for the treatment and prevention of HIV-1 infections. Despite their critical importance, automatic detection of HIV-1 bNAbs from immune
Human placental schistosomiasis-a systematic review of the literature (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Schistosome egg deposition in pregnant women may affect the placenta of infected mothers and cause placental schistosomiasis (PS). Histopathological examination of placental tissue is an i
Chemoproteomics validates selective targeting of <em>Plasmodium</em> M1 alanyl aminopeptidase as an antimalarial strategy (Publications)
New antimalarial drug candidates that act via novel mechanisms are urgently needed to combat malaria drug resistance. Here, we describe the multi-omic chemical validation of Plasmodium M1 alanyl metal
The number of comorbidities as an important cofactor to ASA class in predicting postoperative outcome: an international multicentre cohort study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Multimorbidity is a growing burden in our ageing society and is associated with perioperative morbidity and mortality. Despite several modifications to the ASA physical status classificati
