Changes in oral health over a 10-yr period in Switzerland (Publications)
The Swiss Health Surveys are conducted every 5 yr, and alternate surveys contain information on oral health. Worldwide the population is ageing and oral health is improving. The aim of this study was
Nanoparticle effects on rat alveolar epithelial cell monolayer barrier properties (Publications)
Inhaled nanoparticles have been reported to contribute to deleterious effects on human health. In this study, we investigated the effects of ultrafine ambient particulate suspensions (UAPS), polystyre
Isolation of <em>Mycobacterium ulcerans</em> from Swab and Fine-Needle-Aspiration Specimens (Publications)
For cultivation of Mycobacterium ulcerans from clinical specimens, we optimized the release of bacteria from swabs, as well as decontamination and cultivation on supplemented medium. Nevertheless, the
Structure-activity relationship of an ozonide carboxylic acid (OZ78) against <em>Fasciola hepatica</em> (Publications)
In this paper, we describe the SAR of ozonide carboxylic acid OZ78 (1) as the first part of our search for a trematocidal synthetic peroxide drug development candidate. We found that relatively small
Different strategies to overcome the effect of carbimazole on high- and low-dose radioiodine therapy: results from continuous dose-effect models (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Until now, it remains elusive which strategy - antithyroid drug withdrawal or increased radioiodine target doses - should be preferred to avoid the detrimental effect of antithyroid drugs
The activity of dispiro peroxides against <em>Fasciola hepatica</em> (Publications)
Dispiro 1,2,4-trioxanes and 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes had superior efficacy against Fasciola hepatica than the corresponding ozonides (1,2,4-trioxolanes). For highest efficacy, spiroadamantane and carboxyme
