Nemastoma bidentatum (Arachnida: Opiliones: Nemastomatidae): neu für Deutschland und die Tschechische Republik
2007
Nemastoma bidentatum (Arachnida: Opiliones: Nemastomatidae): first records for Germany and the Czech Republic. N. bidentatum Roewer, 1914 was found at two places in Germany: first on the island "Harriersand" in the Weser river (Lower Saxony), second on the banks of the river Elbe in the Elbsandsteingebirge (Saxony). Adjacent to the latter locality an occurrence in the Czech Republic could be located close to the German/Czech border in the floodplain of the river Elbe as well. These records are the first for Germany and the Czech Republic. They enlarge the distribution area of N. bidentatum remarkably in both a northern and a western direction. The two populations show conspicuous difference…

Electromagnetic Fields and Childhood Leukemia: Pooled Analyses of Two German Population-Based Case-Control Studies
1999
From 1992 to 1995 we conducted a population-based case-control study on residential magnetic fields and childhood leukemia in Lower Saxony, a region in northwestern Germany with 7.4 million inhabitants.1,2 Because of the rural character of this area, we detected elevated magnetic fields in only 1.5% of all dwellings. We therefore expanded the EMF-measurements to an ongoing case-control study on childhood leukemia in the capital of Germany, Berlin. We applied the same methods of exposure assessment, intending to pool the data of the two studies and to calculate combined risk estimates.3
