Effect of nocturnal road traffic noise exposure and annoyance on objective and subjective sleep quality (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Various epidemiological studies have found an association between noise exposure and sleep quality, but the mediating role of annoyance is unclear for this association. OBJECTIVES: To inve
Potent antimalarial 1,2,4-trioxanes through perhydrolysis of epoxides (Publications)
Perhydrolysis of a sterically congested multifunctional epoxide was achieved in ethereal H2 O2 with the aid of a recently developed Mo catalyst. The resulting hydroperoxide cyclized to give a 1,2,4-tr
UV-triggered affinity-capture identifies interactions between the <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> multidrug resistance protein 1 (PfMDR1) and... (Publications)
A representative of a new class of potent antimalarials with an unknown mode of action was recently described. To identify the molecular target of this class of antimalarials, we employed a photo-reac

In May 2012, the World Health Assembly passed resolution WHA 65.21, calling upon member states to intensify schistosomiasis control and, wherever possible, to attempt transmission interruption and ini
Quantitative EEG and apolipoprotein E-genotype improve classification of patients with suspected Alzheimer's disease (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: To establish a model for better identification of patients in very early stages of Alzheimer's disease, AD (including patients with amnestic MCI) using high-resolution EEG and genetic data.
A pilot study characterizing real time exposures to particulate matter and carbon monoxide from cookstove related woodsmoke in rural Peru (Publications)
Nearly half of the world's population is exposed to household air pollution (HAP) due to long hours spent in close proximity to unvented cooking fires. We aimed to use PM2.5 and CO measurements to cha
