Cross-validation of bioelectrical impedance analysis for the assessment of body composition in a representative sample of 6- to 13-year-old children (Publications)
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: (1) To cross-validate tetra- (4-BIA) and octopolar (8-BIA) bioelectrical impedance analysis vs dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for the assessment of total and appendicula
Identification of an ABCB/P-glycoprotein-specific inhibitor of auxin transport by chemical genomics (Publications)
Plant development and physiology are widely determined by the polar transport of the signaling molecule auxin. This process is controlled on the cellular efflux level catalyzed by members of the PIN (
Sensory modulation of voluntary and TMS-induced activation in hand muscles (Publications)
Nociceptive suppression of tonic voluntary electromyographic (EMG) activity in human hand muscles (cutaneous silent period, CSP) is in its functional organization consistent with a spinal protective r
Impact of body temperature on in-hospital and long-term mortality in patients with acute heart failure (Publications)
OBJECTIVES: Body temperature (BT) was shown to have impact on outcome in several medical conditions. This study investigated the prognostic impact of BT in patients with acute heart failure (HF). DESI
Effects of seasonality and irrigation on malaria transmission in two villages in Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
The seasonality of malaria transmission was investigated in two villages in central Cote d'Ivoire: one usually with irrigated rice farming (Zatta) and one without (Tiemelekro). Adult mosquitoes were c
Scaling up priority health interventions in Tanzania: the human resources challenge (Publications)
The international community has set ambitious goals (Millennium Development Goals) to improve health in developing countries by 2015. Effective and often cheap interventions exist to achieve these goa
