Identification and characterization of inorganic food additives and pearlescent pigments in sprays for food decoration by STEM-EDX
consisting of mica platelets coated with a layer of titanium dioxide and/or iron oxide particles, are applied to provide glitter effects1. For control and risk assessment of multi-constituent substances and ...
Accuracy of HPV E6/E7 oncoprotein tests to detect high-grade cervical lesions: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis.
pooling absolute and relative accuracy. RESULTS: Twenty-two studies were included. Sensitivity and specificity estimates ranged from 54.2% (95% CI: 45.2-63.0) to 69.5% (95% CI:60.8-76.9) and from 82.8% (95% ...
A proposal for further developing fatigue-related post COVID-19 health states for burden of disease studies
underestimation. A more comprehensive approach to modelling the disease burden from long COVID, in relation to fatigue, can ensure that we do not only focus on what is easiest to measure; which risks losing focus of ...
Comparison of the Clinical Accuracy of Xpert HPV Assay on Vaginal Self-Samples and Cervical Clinician-Taken Samples within the VALHUDES Framework.
specimen handling Uterine Cervical Dysplasia Uterine Cervical Neoplasms Vagina Abstract: The accuracy of high-risk human papillomavirus testing with the Xpert HPV assay on vaginal self-samples was compared ...
Potential impact fractions of body mass index reductions on the non-communicable disease burden in Belgium using G-computation
is therefore vital to reduce premature mortality from NCD s. This study aims to assess the relative contribution of overweight as a risk factor for NCD s and the potential health impact of four BMI ...
Social inequalities and long-term health impact of COVID-19 in Belgium: protocol of the HELICON population data linkage
sociodemographic characteristics, socioeconomic indicators, healthcare use and related costs. Two main research questions will be addressed. First, can we identify socioeconomic and sociodemographic risk factors in ...
The impact of ambient temperature and air pollution on SARS-CoV2 infection and post COVID-19 condition in Belgium (2021–2022)
