Artemisinin resistance (AR) emerged in South East Asia 13 years ago and the identification of the resistance conferring molecular marker, Plasmodium falciparum Kelch 13 (Pfk13), 7 years ago has provid
Exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields: comparison of exposimeters with a novel body-worn distributed meter (Publications)
Background: Exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) is often measured with personal exposimeters, but the accuracy of measurements can be hampered as carrying the devices on-body ma

Estimation of heat-attributable mortality using the cross-validated best temperature metric in Switzerland and South Korea (Publications)
This study presents a novel method for estimating the heat-attributable fractions (HAF) based on the cross-validated best temperature metric. We analyzed the association of eight temperature metrics (
Associations between natural resource extraction and incidence of acute and chronic health conditions: evidence from Tanzania (Publications)
Natural resource extraction projects are often accompanied by complex environmental and social-ecological changes. In this paper, we evaluated the association between commodity extraction and the inci
Investigating the association between long-term exposure to air pollution and greenness with mortality from neurological, cardio-metabolic and chronic... (Publications)
Long-term exposure to air pollution has been associated with increased natural-cause mortality, but the evidence on diagnoses-specific mortality outcomes is limited. Few studies have examined the pote
Efficacy of an acid-oxidising solution against <em>Mycobacterium ulcerans</em> (Publications)
For the treatment of chronic wounds, acid-oxidising solutions (AOSs) with broad-spectrum microbicidal activity without disturbing granulation tissue formation, have been developed. We found AOSs to ef
