The reliability of the Minimum European Health Module.
domains: self-perceived health, chronic conditions and long-term activity limitation. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the reliability of the MEHM. METHODS: Participants of the Belgian Food ...
Validation of a method for the detection and confirmation of nitroimidazoles and the corresponding hydroxy metabolites in pig plasma by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
and anticoccidial activity. They are suspected to be carcinogenic and mutagenic. Since nitroimidazoles showed an inhomogeneous distribution and a rapid degradation in incurred muscle samples, plasma is ...
A transcriptional luxAB reporter fusion responding to fluorene in Sphingomonas sp. LB126 and its initial characterisation for whole-cell bioreporter purposes.
use as a whole-cell biosensor in the perspective of quantifying fluorene in environmental samples. Activity of the reporter gene as a response to fluorene was detectable after 30 min and was optimal ...
Bt-maize event MON 88017 expressing Cry3Bb1 does not cause harm to non-target organisms
exposed taxonomic and functional groups, confirming that the insecticidal activity of the Cry3Bb1 protein is limited to species belonging to the coleopteran family of Chrysomelidae. The potential risk to ...
Impact of tobacco control interventions on health expectancies: use of dynamic modelling for health impact assessment in Belgium
disability prevalence. Disability was defined based on the Global Activity Limitation Indicator (GALI). We used a dynamic model, DYNAMO- HIA, to quantify the impacts of risk factor changes on health ...
Transitions and trajectories in frailty states over time: a systematic review of the European Joint Action ADVANTAGE.
investigated the effect of physical activity on the progression of frailty over a 10-year period. Two presented data on the proportion of participants experiencing at least one frailty transition over time ...
In utero exposure to parabens and early childhood BMI z-scores- Associations between placental ethyl paraben, longitudinal BMI trajectories and cord blood metabolic biomarkers.
of BMI z-scores were investigated with adjusted linear mixed models. RESULTS: The geometric means of placental MeP, EtP, PrP, and BuP levels above the limit of detection (LOD) were 4.42, 1.32, 1.51, ...
A rat model for hepatitis E virus.
hepatitis, and chronic hepatitis E is increasingly recognized as an important problem in the transplant setting. Nevertheless, the fundamental understanding of the biology of HEV replication is limited and ...
Dietary silver nanoparticles can disturb the gut microbiota in mice.
their anti-bacterial activity, ingested Ag NP might disturb the gut microbiota that is essential for local and systemic homeostasis. We explored here the possible impact of dietary Ag NP on the gut ...
