Identifying nanodescriptors to predict the toxicity of nanomaterials: a case study on titanium dioxide
8, Issue 2 (2021) Abstract: Since the evaluation of nanomaterial (NM) hazards by animal testing is expensive, time-consuming and critical from an ethical point of view, much interest is being given to ...
Morbidity Statistics: 2019 Pilot Data Collection Belgium, Final Report
questioned and there are some concerns regarding the compatibility and description of some of the proposed definitions. We propose an easy to read scoring system to evaluate the quality and comparability of ...
Benchmarking as a Public Health Strategy for Creating Healthy Food Environments: An Evaluation of the INFORMAS Initiative (2012-2020).
contributed substantially to capacity building, advocacy, stakeholder engagement, and policy evaluation in relation to creating healthy food environments. Future efforts to benchmark food environments need to ...
Influence of reduced levels or suppression of sodium nitrite on the outgrowth and toxinogenesis of psychrotrophic Clostridium botulinum Group II type B in cooked ham.
botulinum behavior in processing meat products, outgrowth and toxin production of C. botulinum should be evaluated on a case by case basis, depending on the recipe, manufacturing process, food matrix and ...
A randomized, multicentre, open-label phase II proof-of-concept trial investigating the clinical efficacy and safety of the addition of convalescent plasma to the standard of care in patients hospitalized with COVID-19: the DAWn-Plasma trial.
n-Plasma is a multicentre nation-wide, randomized, open-label, phase II proof-of-concept clinical trial, evaluating the clinical efficacy and safety of the addition of convalescent plasma to the standard of ...
All-cause mortality supports the COVID-19 mortality in Belgium and comparison with major fatal events of the last century.
deaths and the COVID-19 mortality rate per million were calculated for hospitals, nursing homes and other places of death, according to diagnostic status (confirmed/possible infection). To evaluate ...
Unexpected mould diversity in clinical isolates from French Guiana and associated identification difficulties.
emerging pathogens. We evaluated microscopy and mass spectrometry to identify mold clinical isolates. With 39% of unidentified isolates, a region-specific mass spectrum database would improve the diagnosis ...
Identifying implementation gaps and priorities for the Singapore government to improve food environment policies: perspectives from a local expert panel.
objective of the current study was to characterise and evaluate the Singapore government’s policies to improve the food environment and to identify and prioritise concrete actions. DESIGN: The Healthy Food ...
Deep amplicon sequencing for culture-free prediction of susceptibility or resistance to 13 anti-tuberculous drugs.
Here, we evaluated the Deeplex Myc- TB targeted deep sequencing assay for prediction of resistance to 13 anti-tuberculous drugs/drug classes, directly applicable on sputum. With MTBC DNA tests, the limit ...
New QSAR models to predict chromosome damaging potential based on the in vivo micronucleus test
py was applied on the training set to automatically extract sets of rules by generating and selecting substructures based on their prediction performance whereas the test set was used to evaluate model ...
