Strategies to detect unauthorized genetically modified organisms in food and feed chain
(EU). However, the implementation of these legislations by the enforcement laboratories is becoming complex due mainly to the increasing number and diversity of GMO. To cope with the problematic of EU ...
Hair mercury and urinary cadmium levels in Belgian children and their mothers within the framework of the COPHES/DEMOCOPHES projects.
cadmium levels increased with age, no trend was found for hair mercury content, except the fact that mothers hold higher levels than children. The hair mercury content increased significantly with the ...
An innovative and integrated approach based on DNA walking to identify unauthorised GMOs
frequency of unauthorised genetically modified organisms (GMO s) being present in the European food and feed chain will increase significantly. Therefore, we have developed a strategy to identify unauthorised ...
An innovative integrated approach based on DNA walking to identify unauthorized GMOs
modified organisms (GMO s) being present in the European food/feed chain will increase significantly. Rice already constitutes a challenge for laboratories developing methods to detect unauthorized GMO s. ...
Mild iodine deficiency in pregnancy in Europe and its consequences for cognitive and psychomotor development of children: a review.
iodine deficient areas, iodine deficiency during pregnancy frequently appears in case the maternal thyroid gland cannot meet the demand for increasing production of thyroid hormones (TH) and its effect may ...
Transmission Dynamics of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Pigs.
affected animals. Indeed, the typical multi-resistant phenotype of MRSA CC398 and its observed ability of easily acquiring genetic material suggests that MRSA CC398 strains with an increased virulence ...
Serological profiles in nursery piglets colonized with Staphylococcus aureus.
apparent increase in antibody titers directed against staphylococcal microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules (MSCRAMM), which have been shown to play a role in S. aureus ...
Determinants of folate status in pregnant women: results from a national cross-sectional survey in Belgium.
trimesters, folate status increased significantly with education level and was significantly higher among women who planned the pregnancy and who did not smoke. CONCLUSIONS: It was found that 39% of the first ...
Fortification of bread with iodized salt corrected iodine deficiency in school-aged children, but not in their mothers: a national cross-sectional survey in Belgium.
instead of noniodized household salt needs to increase. Our findings suggest that the median UIC in children may not be an adequate surrogate of adults’ iodine status. Therefore, monitoring iodine status ...

With a more generalised utilisation of iodised salt in bread (44 % of the bakers in 2011 instead of 12 % in 2002), mean iodine intake increased from 159 to 164 μg/d using the McCance and Widdowson’s food ...
