A multi-band body-worn distributed exposure meter for personal radio-frequency dosimetry in diffuse indoor environments (Publications)
A multi-band body-worn distributed exposure meter (BWDM) is designed and calibrated for diffuse fields in a reverberation chamber (RC) for personal exposure assessment in indoor environments. The BWDM
Kankanet: an artificial neural network-based object detection smartphone application and mobile microscope as a point-of-care diagnostic aid for... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Endemic areas for soil-transmitted helminthiases often lack the tools and trained personnel necessary for point-of-care diagnosis. This study pilots the use of smartphone microscopy and an
Malaria-anemia comorbidity prevalence as a measure of malaria-related deaths in sub-Saharan Africa (Publications)
Different methods and data sources have been utilized to determine the relationship between malaria and mortality in endemic countries. Most of these efforts have focused on deaths directly attributed
TNF-α–induced protein 3 is a key player in childhood asthma development and environment-mediated protection (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Childhood asthma prevalence is significantly higher in urban areas compared to rural/farm environments. Murine studies have shown that TNFAIP3 (TNF-alpha-induced protein 3, A20), an anti-i
Models of effectiveness of interventions against malaria transmitted by <em>Anopheles albimanus</em> (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Most impact prediction of malaria vector control interventions has been based on African vectors. Anopheles albimanus, the main vector in Central America and the Caribbean, has higher intr
Diagnostic performance of a single and duplicate Kato-Katz, Mini-FLOTAC, FECPAKG2 and qPCR for the detection and quantification of soil-transmitted... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Because the success of deworming programs targeting soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) is evaluated through the periodically assessment of prevalence and infection intensities, the use of t
Ambient particulate air pollution and daily mortality in 652 cities (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The systematic evaluation of the results of time-series studies of air pollution is challenged by differences in model specification and publication bias. METHODS: We evaluated the associa
The HOSENG trial - effect of the provision of oral self-testing for absent and refusing individuals during a door-to-door HIV-testing campaign on... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: HIV-testing coverage remains below the targeted 90% despite efforts and resources invested. Home-based HIV-testing is a key approach endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO), especi
