Statistical analysis of personal radiofrequency electromagnetic field measurements with nondetects (Publications)
Exposimeters are increasingly applied in bioelectromagnetic research to determine personal radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure. The main advantages of exposimeter measurements are t
Spatial variability of different fractions of particulate matter within an urban environment and between urban and rural sites (Publications)
The spatial variability of different fractions of particulate matter (PM) was investigated in the city of Basel, Switzerland, based on measurements performed throughout 1997 with a mobile monitoring s
Symptoms of ill health ascribed to electromagnetic field exposure--a questionnaire survey (Publications)
From June 2001, health questionnaires were distributed to people who complained about symptoms of ill health which they ascribed to exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF). The objective of the surve
Quality of drinking-water at source and point-of-consumption-drinking cup as a high potential recontamination risk: a field study in Bolivia (Publications)
In-house contamination of drinking-water is a persistent problem in developing countries. This study aimed at identifying critical points of contamination and determining the extent of recontamination
High prevalence of nonconvulsive and subtle status epilepticus in an ICU of a tertiary care center: a three-year observational cohort study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Status epilepticus is one of the most important neurological emergencies and requires immediate therapy and admission to the intensive care unit. We hypothesized that nonconvulsive and sub
Systematic review on the health effects of exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields from mobile phone base stations (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: To review and evaluate the recent literature on the health effects of exposure to mobile phone base station (MPBS) radiation. METHODS: We performed a systematic review of randomized human t
Development and application of real-tim PCR assay for quantification of <em>Mycobacterium ulcerans</em> DNA (Publications)
Buruli ulcer, an infection caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans, is, after tuberculosis and leprosy, the third most common mycobacterial disease. The mode of transmission of M. ulcerans is not exactly kno
Population sampling in European air pollution exposure study, EXPOLIS: comparisons between the cities and representativeness of the samples (Publications)
A personal air pollution exposure study, EXPOLIS, was accomplished in six European cities among 25- to 55-year-old citizens. In order to compare the exposure results and different microenvironmental c
