Using photovoice methods as a community-based participatory research tool to advance uptake of clean cooking and improve health: The LPG adoption in Cameroon evaluation studies.

Social Science & Medicine (1967), 2019
Each year up to 2.6 million people die prematurely from household air pollution (HAP) due to cooking with polluting fuels such as wood and charcoal, particularly in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). The World Health Organisation recommends scaling

Effects of catechins, resveratrol, silymarin components and some of their conjugates on xanthine oxidase‐catalyzed xanthine and 6‐mercaptopurine oxidation

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 5, Page 2765-2776, 30 March 2025.
Abstract BACKGROUND Over the past two decades, the global incidence of gout has markedly increased, affecting people worldwide. Considering the side effects of xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitor drugs (e.g. allopurinol and febuxostat) used in the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout, the potential application of phytochemicals has been widely studied.

Monitoring and modeling of household air quality related to use of different Cookfuels in Paraguay. [PDF]

, 2019
In Paraguay, 49% of the population depends on biomass (wood and charcoal) for cooking. Residential biomass burning is a major source of fine particulate matter (PM2.5 ) and carbon monoxide (CO) in and around the household environment. In July 2016, cross-

Polyglycerol‐Based Lipids: A Next‐Generation Alternative to PEG in Lipid Nanoparticles for Advanced Drug Delivery Systems

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Linear polyglycerol is proposed as a PEG‐alternative in mRNA‐loaded lipid nanoparticles to limit activation of anti‐PEG antibodies and reduce immunogenicity. Resulting nanoparticles may provide similar gene delivery capabilities, while preventing binding of anti‐PEG antibodies compared to PEGylated counterparts.

Dissolved oxygen sensing using an optical fibre long period grating coated with hemoglobin [PDF]

, 2016
A long period grating fiber optic sensor coated with hemoglobin is used to detect dissolved oxygen. The sensitivity of this sensor to the ratio of dissolved carbon dioxide to dissolved oxygen is demonstrated via the conversion of carboxyhemoglobin to

Elevation of Stearoyl‐Coenzyme A Desaturase and Monounsaturated Fatty Acids in Parkinson's Disease Serum

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Emerging evidence indicates that dysregulation of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), synthesized by the enzyme stearoyl‐coenzyme A desaturase (SCD), impacts on α‐synuclein pathology in the Parkinson's disease (PD) brain. Objective The objective of this study was to analyze SCD and MUFA‐enriched lipids in the periphery of patients ...

Regionally-triggered geomagnetic reversals

Scientific Reports
Systematic studies of numerical dynamo simulations reveal that the transition from dipole-dominated non-reversing fields to models that exhibit reversals occurs when inertial effects become strong enough. However, the inertial force is expected to play a

In-Field Emission Measurements from Biogas and Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) Stoves

Atmosphere, 2019
Household air pollution from solid fuel cooking causes millions of deaths each year and contributes to climate change. These emissions can be reduced if households transition to cleaner cooking fuels such as LPG or biogas, yet emission measurements ...
