Eligibility for the use of ready-made spectacles among children in a school-based programme in Ghana (2022)
Journal Article

Ready-made spectacles are low-cost spectacles for correcting refractive errors in children who would otherwise have their refractive errors uncorrected due to lack of availability and affordability of conventional, expensive custom-made spectacles. T... Read More about Eligibility for the use of ready-made spectacles among children in a school-based programme in Ghana.

Evidence to underpin vitamin A requirements and upper limits in children aged 0 to 48 months: A scoping review (2022)
Journal Article

Vitamin A deficiency is a major health risk for infants and children in low-and middle-income countries. This scoping review identified, quantified, and mapped research for use in updating nutrient requirements and upper limits for vitamin A in child...

Effects of fluid and drinking on pneumonia mortality in older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2021)
Journal Article

Background and aims: Advice to drink plenty of fluid is common in respiratory infections. We assessed whether low fluid intake (dehydration) altered outcomes in adults with pneumonia. Methods: We systematically reviewed trials increasing fluid intake... Read More about Effects of fluid and drinking on pneumonia mortality in older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The impact of mesopic conditions to detect functional visual loss in drivers with simulated media opacity (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Purpose: Although driving encompasses a wide range of rapidly modulating contrast and luminance levels, contrast sensitivity (CS), if assessed, is typically done under photopic conditions. This study evaluated existing measures of CS under photopic a... Read More about The impact of mesopic conditions to detect functional visual loss in drivers with simulated media opacity.

Neural networks underlying essential tremor (2021)
Thesis

Essential Tremor (ET) is a common movement disorder, causing a postural or kinetic tremor, and has an unknown aetiology. Accumulating evidence suggests abnormalities occurring within cerebellar circuits underlie the pathogenesis of ET, resulting in a... Read More about Neural networks underlying essential tremor.

Diagnosing down-the-drain disposal of unused pharmaceuticals at a river catchment level: Unrecognized sources of environmental contamination that require nontechnological solutions (2021)
Journal Article

Down-the-drain disposal of pharmaceuticals remains an overlooked and unrecognized source of environmental contamination that requires nontechnological “at-source” solutions. Monitoring of 31 pharmaceuticals over 7 days in five wastewater treatment pl...
