Safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of new formulations of the <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>malaria peptide SPf66 combined with the... (Publications)
SPf66 is a synthetic malaria peptide vaccine, which has been widely tested in combination with aluminium hydroxide (alum) as the adjuvant. Since this formulation is weakly immunogenic, we sought to im
Anaerobic performance in 5- to 7-yr-old children of low birthweight (Publications)
PURPOSE: This study was intended to determine whether anaerobic muscle performance is deficient in 5- to 7-yr-old children of extremely low birthweight (ELBW, 500-999 g) and very low birthweight (VLBW
Clonorchicidal properties of the synthetic trioxolane OZ78 (Publications)
Because the synthetic trioxolane OZ78 is active against the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica, we were motivated to investigate the in vivo and in vitro activity against another liver fluke, namely Clonor
Activity of artemether and OZ78 against triclabendazole-resistant <em>Fasciola hepatica</em> (Publications)
Triclabendazole is the drug of choice against Fasciola hepatica infections in humans and animals. However, parasite resistance against triclabendazole is spreading in the veterinary field, and there a
Confounding and effect modification in the short-term effects of ambient particles on total mortality: results from 29 European cities within the... (Publications)
We present the results of the Air Pollution and Health: A European Approach 2 (APHEA2) project on short-term effects of ambient particles on mortality with emphasis on effect modification. We used dai
Beijing sublineages of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> differ in pathogenicity in the Guinea pig (Publications)
The Beijing family of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains is part of lineage 2 (also known as the East Asian lineage). In clinical studies, we have observed that isolates from the sublineage RD207 of l
Kinetics of oxygen uptake at the onset of exercise in boys and men (Publications)
The objective of this study was to compare the O2 uptake (VO2) kinetics at the onset of heavy exercise in boys and men. Nine boys, aged 9-12 yr, and 8 men, aged 19-27 yr, performed a continuous increm
