The association between exposure determined by radiofrequency personal exposimeters and human exposure: a simulation study (Publications)
The selection of an adequate exposure assessment approach is imperative for the quality of epidemiological studies. The use of personal exposimeters turned out to be a reasonable approach to determine
<em>Strongyloides stercoralis</em> larvae excretion patterns before and after treatment (Publications)
SUMMARY The variability of larval excretion impedes the parasitological diagnosis of Strongyloides stercoralis in infected individuals. We assessed the number of larvae excreted per gram (LPG) stool i

Historic air pollution exposure and long-term mortality risks in England and Wales: prospective longitudinal cohort study (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Long-term air pollution exposure contributes to mortality but there are few studies examining effects of very long-term (> 25 years) exposures. METHODS: This study investigated modelled
A personal, distributed exposimeter: procedure for design, calibration, validation, and application (Publications)
This paper describes, for the first time, the procedure for the full design, calibration, uncertainty analysis, and practical application of a personal, distributed exposimeter (PDE) for the detection
Retirement and perceived social inferiority strongly link with health inequalities in older age: decomposition of a concentration index of poor health... (Publications)

Experiences with a voluntary surveillance system for early detection of equine diseases in Switzerland (Publications)
Clinical observations made by practitioners and reported using web- and mobile-based technologies may benefit disease surveillance by improving the timeliness of outbreak detection. Equinella is a vol
Traffic-related air pollution, noise at school, and behavioral problems in Barcelona schoolchildren: a cross-sectional study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The available evidence of the effects of air pollution and noise on behavioral development is limited, and it overlooks exposure at schools, where children spend a considerable amount of t
