Cost and sensitivity of on-farm versus slaughterhouse surveys for prevalence estimation and substantiating freedom from disease (Publications)
Within the framework of Swiss surveillance for epizootic diseases, dairy cattle are sampled using bulk tank milk while non-dairy cattle are sampled on the farm. The latter method is costly, time-deman
Skin and soft tissue infections in intercontinental travellers and the import of multi-resistant <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> to Europe (Publications)
Staphylococcus aureus is emerging globally. Treatment of infections is complicated by increasing antibiotic resistance. We collected clinical data and swabs of returnees with skin and soft tissue infe
LUR models for particulate matters in the Taipei metropolis with high densities of roads and strong activities of industry, commerce and construction (Publications)
Traffic intensity, length of road, and proximity to roads are the most common traffic indicators in the land use regression (LUR) models for particulate matter in ESCAPE study areas in Europe. This st
Particulate matter composition and respiratory health: the PIAMA birth cohort study (Publications)
BACKGROUND:: Ambient particulate matter (PM) exposure is associated with children's respiratory health. Little is known about the importance of different PM constituents. We investigated the effects o
Anti-trypanosomal cadinanes synthesized by transannular cyclization of the natural sesquiterpene lactone nobilin (Publications)
Acid-catalyzed transannular cyclization of the germacrene-type sesquiterpene lactone nobilin 1 was investigated with the aim of obtaining new anti-trypanosomal cadinane derivatives. The reaction was r
One-hour rule-in and rule-out of acute myocardial infarction using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to prospectively derive and validate a novel 1h-algorithm using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) for early rule-out and rule-in of acute myocardial infarction. METHODS
