Duffy Negative Antigen Is No Longer a Barrier to Plasmodium vivax – Molecular Evidences from the African West Coast (Angola and Equatorial Guinea)
Cristina Mendes,Fernanda Dias,Fernanda Dias,Joana Figueiredo,Vicenta Gonzalez Mora,Jorge Cano,Bruno de Sousa,Virgílio E. do Rosário,Agustín Benito,Pedro Berzosa,Ana Paula Arez +10 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrated that P. vivax infections were found both in humans and mosquitoes, which means that active transmission is occurring, and reinforces the idea that this parasite is able to use receptors other than Duffy to invade erythrocytes, which may have an enormous impact in P.vivax current distribution.
The State of Men's Health in Europe
Alan White,Bruno de Sousa,Richard O. de Visser,Richard Hogston,Svend Aage Madsen,Péter Makara,Noel Richardson,Witold Zatonski +7 more
TL;DR: As comprehensive a picture as possible has been compiled on the state of men’s health across Europe, using routinely collected statistics on morbidity and mortality and data from academic literature to inform policy makers, health professionals, academics and the wider population of the health challenges men face.
Journal ArticleDOI
Men's health in Europe.
Alan White,Bruno de Sousa,Richard O. de Visser,Richard Hogston,Svend Aage Madsen,Péter Makara,Martin McKee,Gary Raine,Noel Richardson,Nicholas Clarke,Witold Zatonski +10 more
TL;DR: The very large variations seen in the health of men across Europe demonstrates that much of men's higher risk of premature death is caused by socio-cultural factors and therefore avoidable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Europe's men need their own health strategy.
Alan White,Martin McKee,Noel Richardson,Richard O. de Visser,Svend Aage Madsen,Bruno de Sousa,Richard Hogston,Witold Zatonski,Péter Makara +8 more
TL;DR: A recent European report on men’s health shows that it lags behind that of women, and Alan White and colleagues analyse the problems and call for more policy, practice, and research aimed specifically at men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sedimentary and geochemical characterization and provenance of the Portuguese continental shelf soft-bottom sediments
Roberto Martins,Maria do Rosário Azevedo,Renato Mamede,Bruno de Sousa,Rosa Freitas,Fernando Rocha,Victor Quintino,Ana Maria Rodrigues +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied multivariate analysis to geochemical data for soft-bottom sediments from the Portuguese continental shelf to determine their provenance and to identify the main factors governing the sediment distribution patterns.
