Self-nanoemulsifying drug-delivery systems improve oral absorption and antischistosomal activity of epiisopiloturine (Publications)
AIM: To develop a self-nanoemulsifying drug-delivery system (SNEDDS) able to improve oral absorption of epiisopiloturine (EPI), and test the antischistosomal activity in a mice model. RESULTS: SNEDDS
Full-chain health impact assessment of traffic-related air pollution and childhood asthma (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Asthma is the most common chronic disease in children. Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) may be an important exposure contributing to its development. In the UK, Bradford is a deprived
Distinct clinical characteristics and helminth co-infections in adult tuberculosis patients from urban compared to rural Tanzania (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Differences in rural and urban settings could account for distinct characteristics in the epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB). We comparatively studied epidemiological features of TB and hel
Immunization of malaria pre-exposed volunteers with PfSPZ Vaccine elicits long-lived IgM invasion-inhibitory and complement-fixing antibodies (Publications)
The assessment of antibody responses after immunization with radiation attenuated, aseptic, purified, cryopreserved Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) sporozoites (SPZ) (Sanaria(R) PfSPZ Vaccine) has focused
Are public-private partnerships the solution to tackle neglected tropical diseases? A systematic review of the literature (Publications)
Pharmaceutical companies are reluctant to invest in research and development (R&D) of products for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) mainly due to the low ability-to-pay of health insurance systems a
Association between air pollution and rhinitis incidence in two European cohorts (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The association between air pollution and rhinitis is not well established. AIM: The aim of this longitudinal analysis was to study the association between modeled air pollution at the sub
Development of non-linear models predicting daily fine particle concentrations using aerosol optical depth retrievals and ground-based measurements at... (Publications)
Epidemiological studies generally use particulate matter measurements with diameter less 2.5 μm (PM2.5) from monitoring networks. Satellite aerosol optical depth (AOD) data has considerable potential
Occupational exposures and 20-year incidence of COPD: the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Occupational exposures have been associated with an increased risk of COPD. However, few studies have related objectively assessed occupational exposures to prospectively assessed incidenc
