AIDS-related mycoses: the way forward (Publications)
The contribution of fungal infections to the morbidity and mortality of HIV-infected individuals is largely unrecognized. A recent meeting highlighted several priorities that need to be urgently addre
Ambient air pollution and low birthweight: a European cohort study (ESCAPE) (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Ambient air pollution has been associated with restricted fetal growth, which is linked with adverse respiratory health in childhood. We assessed the effect of maternal exposure to low con
Adult cancers near high-voltage overhead power lines (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Extremely low-frequency magnetic fields are designated as possibly carcinogenic in humans, based on an epidemiologic association with childhood leukemia. Evidence for associations with adu
Surveillance of acute bacterial meningitis among children admitted to a district hospital in rural Mozambique (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Acute bacterial meningitis (ABM) remains an important cause of mortality among African children. Epidemiologic data with regard to ABM infection are necessary for prioritizing public healt
Health impact assessment of waste management facilities in three European countries (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Policies on waste disposal in Europe are heterogeneous and rapidly changing, with potential health implications that are largely unknown. We conducted a health impact assessment of landfil
Mapping of background air pollution at a fine spatial scale across the European Union (Publications)
BACKGROUND: There is a need to understand much more about the geographic variation of air pollutants. This requires the ability to extrapolate from monitoring stations to unsampled locations. The aim
A GIS-based method for modelling air pollution exposures across Europe (Publications)
A GIS-based moving window approach was developed as a means for generating high resolution air pollution maps over large geographic areas. The approach is demonstrated by modelling annual mean NO(2) p
Alterations in T cell subsets in human immunodeficiency virus-infected adults with co-infections in southern Mozambique (Publications)
T cell activation and depletion of naive T cells are hallmarks of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pathogenesis. This study explored the relationships between certain co-infections (including syphil
