Daily heart rate characteristics, allergy symptom severity and mood in adults with allergic rhinitis
intercept for individuals. Results: The analyses included 3800 participant-days. A one-point increase in symptom severity was associated with an increase in resting heart rate of 0.07 (0.02 to 0.13) beats per ...
Continued Circulation of Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Variants and Detection of Novel Transmission Foci, the Netherlands.
locations considered to be at high risk for TBEV circulation. We found TBEV RNA in 3 rodents (0.9%) and 7 tick pools (minimum infection rate 0.02%) from 5 geographically distinct foci. Phylogenetic analyses ...
Pesticides, trace elements and pharmaceuticals in tea samples available in Belgian retail shops and the risk associated upon acute and chronic exposure
but the potential presence of chemical contaminants (e.g. pesticides, trace elements, synthetic drugs) may raise health concerns. This study analysed selected teas available in Belgian retail stores and ...

time C. nivariensis in VVC in Africa. This study is also the first to investigate the genotypic diversity of the circulating C. albicans strains associated with VVC in Central Africa. Such analyses would ...
ESCAIDE 2022 Oral presentation: International outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium linked to a chocolate factory in 2022: Belgian findings
were analysed for Salmonella spp. using real-time PCR. Whole genome sequence (WGS) analysis of isolates of probable cases and positive food samples is still ongoing. Results We identified 62 probable ...
Estimates of people who injected drugs within the last 12 months in Belgium- presentation
log-linear modelling to analyse the overlap in the number of PWID in these three data sources. For every fitted model, we estimated the number of PWID in Brussels. The results were further used to estimate the ...
Evaluating methodological approaches to assess the severity of infection with SARS-CoV-2 variants: scoping review and applications on Belgian COVID-19 data.
different variants, were identified. Using data of Belgian hospitalized COVID-19 patients, we were able to document (i) the robustness of the analyses when using different variant exposure ascertainment ...
Advances in the physicochemical characterization of nanoparticles in a regulatory context.
STEM- EDX analyses for control purposes requiring identification and measurement of specific particles in complex food matrices and mixtures will be presented. Further, approaches to validate these ...
Noninvasive integrative approach applied to children in the context of recent air pollution exposure demonstrates association between fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and urinary CC16.
analysed. When considering recent (lag1) low level exposure to PM as air pollution measurement, we found that U- CC16 was positively associated with FeNO (β = 0.23; 95% CI [-0.01; 0.47]; p = 0.06) in an ...
Health care costs and lost productivity costs related to excess weight in Belgium.
