Implications of asymptomatic infection for the natural history of selected parasitic tropical diseases (Publications)
Progress has been made in the control or elimination of tropical diseases, with a significant reduction of incidence. However, there is a risk of re-emergence if the factors fueling transmission are n
Pharmacokinetic profiles of boosted darunavir, dolutegravir and lamivudine in aging people living with HIV (Publications)
OBJECTIVES: The pharmacokinetics of antiretroviral drugs may differ in elderly people living with HIV (PLWH) because of age-related physiological changes. We aimed to assess the pharmacokinetics of se
Effect of breastfeeding duration on lung function, respiratory symptoms and allergic diseases in school-age children (Publications)
BACKGROUND: A positive effect of breastfeeding on lung function has been demonstrated in cohorts of children with asthma or risk for asthma. We assessed the impact of breastfeeding on lung function an

Short communication on the use of a free rabies hotline service in Chad (Publications)
As part of the activities of a project to estimate burden of rabies and vaccine demand in Chad, funded by GAVI, we set up a free hotline service to guide the population and related public services in
Physical discipline, deprivation, and differential risk of developmental delay across 17 countries (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: Parenting behaviors have largely been studied in isolation with regard to child development in cross-national contexts. We examine and compare the relative strength of association between p
Aging does not impact drug-drug interaction magnitudes with antiretrovirals: a Swiss HIV Cohort Study (Publications)
The risk of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is elevated in aging people living with HIV (PLWH) due to highly prevalent age-related comorbidities leading to more comedications. To investigate the impact
Concurrently measured concentrations of atmospheric mercury in indoor (household) and outdoor air of Basel, Switzerland (Publications)
Indoor air pollution can be a major health risk because urban populations spend up to 90% of their time in closed rooms. Gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) has not been measured as routinely as other ind
Ultradian modulation of cortical arousals during sleep: effects of age and exposure to nighttime transportation noise (Publications)
STUDY OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed at assessing the temporal non-rapid eye movement (NREM) EEG arousal distribution within and across sleep cycles and its modifications with aging and nighttime
Associations between modeled residential outdoor and measured personal exposure to ultrafine particles in four European study areas (Publications)
Land use regression (LUR) models for Ultrafine Particles (UFP) have been developed to assess health effects of long-term average UFP exposure in epidemiological studies. Associations between LUR model
