Oxidative properties of ambient PM2.5 and elemental composition: Heterogeneous associations in 19 European cities (Publications)
We assessed the extent to which constituents of PM2.5 (transition metals, sodium, chloride) contribute to the ability to generate hydroxyl radicals ((OH)-O-center dot) in vitro in PM2.5 sampled at 20
Validity of annoyance scores for estimation of long term air pollution exposure in epidemiologic studies: the Swiss Study on Air Pollution and Lung... (Publications)
In air pollution epidemiology, estimates of long term exposure are often based on measurements made at one fixed site monitor per area. This may lead to exposure misclassification. The present paper v
A novel in vitro screening assay for trypanocidal activity using the fluorescent dye BCECF-AM (Publications)
A cell viability assay, using fluorescence measurements has been developed for the screening of new compounds against African trypanosomes. 2',7'-Bis-(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein-pentaacetox
Use of B-type natriuretic peptide in the management of hypoxaemic respiratory failure (Publications)
AIMS: Evaluation and management of patients with hypoxaemic respiratory failure in the intensive care unit (ICU) are difficult. The use of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), a quantitative marker of ca
Activity and structure relationship of acridine derivatives against African trypanosomes (Publications)
48 newly synthesized acridine derivatives of different classes were screened for antitrypanosomal activity. They showed a dose dependent effect on Trypanosoma rhodesiense and T. brucei bloodstream for
Molecular analysis of carbohydrate-antibody interactions: case study using a <em>Bacillus anthracis</em> tetrasaccharide (Publications)
The process for selecting potent and effective carbohydrate antigens is not well-established. A combination of synthetic glycan microarray screening, surface plasmon resonance analysis, and saturation
