Incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in a cohort of young adults according to the presence of chronic cough and phlegm (Publications)
RATIONALE: The few prospective studies aimed at assessing the incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in relation to the presence of chronic cough/phlegm have produced contrasting re
Drugs for treating urinary schistosomiasis (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Urinary schistosomiasis causes long-term ill-health. This review examines the various treatment options and newer drugs. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate antischistosomal drugs, used alone or in co
Some discrete competition models and the competitive exclusion principle (Publications)
A difference equation model, called that Leslie/Gower model, played a key historical role in laboratory experiments that helped establish the "competitive exclusion principle" in ecology. We show that
Rapid microarray-based method for monitoring of all currently known single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with parasite resistance to antimalaria... (Publications)
Parasite drug resistance is partly conferred by single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and monitoring them has been proposed as an alternative to monitoring drug resistance. Therefore, techniques are
Clinical and laboratory predictors of imported malaria in an outpatient setting: an aid to medical decision making in returning travelers with fever (Publications)
No evidence-based information exists to guide clinicians for giving presumptive treatment to returning travelers when malaria is strongly suspected on clinical grounds but laboratory confirmation is n
Synthesis and biological evaluation of substrate-based inhibitors of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase as potential drugs against African... (Publications)
The synthesis and biological evaluation of three series of 6-phosphogluconate (6PG) analogues is described. (2R)-2-Methyl-4,5-dideoxy, (2R)-2-methyl-4-deoxy and 2,4-dideoxy analogues of 6PG were teste
