Sex-specific associations of cardiovascular risk factors with carotid stiffness - results from the SAPALDIA cohort study (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: Manifestation of cardiovascular disease (CVD) occurs with clear sex differences. Carotid stiffness (CS) parameters are increasingly used for CVD risk assessment but the sex-specific associa
Reproducibility of oscillometrically measured arterial stiffness indices: results of the SAPALDIA 3 cohort study (Publications)
Background. There is an increasing interest in oscillometric arterial stiffness measurement for cardiovascular risk stratification. We assessed reproducibility of the cuff-based arterial stiffness mea
Effects of liver-stage clearance by Primaquine on gametocyte carriage of <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> and <em>P. falciparum</em> (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Primaquine (PQ) is the only currently licensed antimalarial that prevents Plasmodium vivax (Pv) relapses. It also clears mature P. falciparum (Pf) gametocytes, thereby reducing post-treatm
Antileukemic ancistrobenomine B and related 5,1′-coupled naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids from the Chinese liana <em>Ancistrocladus tectorius</em> (Publications)
A striking feature of the metabolite pattern of the Southeast Asian liana Ancistrocladus tectorius (Ancistrocladaceae) is the predominance of 5,1'-coupled naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids. About 20 alka
