Does a national screening programme reduce socioeconomic inequalities in mammography use?
from the 2001 and 2004 Health Interview Survey. Data were analysed by logistic regression with educational level as proxy for the socioeconomic status. The gradient of socioeconomic inequalities was ...
Analysis of 13 million individual patient records pertaining to Pap smears, colposcopies, biopsies and surgery on the uterine cervix (Belgium, 1996-2000).
coverage, in the period 1998-2000, was 59% at national level, for the target age group 25-64 years. Differences were small between the 3 regions. Variation ranged from 39% to 71%. Coverage was 64% for 25-29 ...
Nation-wide prospective surveillance of Clostridium difficile infections in hospitals in Belgium, July 2007-June 2008.
CDI in Belgian hospitals has been able to produce robust baseline data that should allow monitoring of trends at hospital and national level, and provide a basis for international comparisons. Remaining ...
Muticentrische studie "Verband tussen antibioticaconsumptie en microbile resistentie bij de individuele patiënt"
organisms, in particular well known pathogens, at the individual patient level both in the ambulatory and in the in-patient setting. The microbiological results of voluntary participating clinical laboratories ...
PCDD/F levels in plasma of a belgian population before and after the 1999 belgian PCB/DIOXIN incident.
dibenzofuran (PCDF) levels among 232 Belgian blood donors (74% men, mean age 47 years). The Red Cross made plasma samples from before the incident of these donors available. A second plasma sample was collected ...
Recovery of Moraxella ovis from the bovine respiratory tract and differentiation of Moraxella species by tDNA-intergenic spacer PCR.
(M.)–like organisms recovered from calves suffering from respiratory disease down to species level by means of tDNA-intergenic spacer length polymorphism analysis (tDNA- PCR), and to perform antimicrobial ...
Interactive analysis of Belgian vital statistics on the Internet.
hand and statistical procedures on the other hand. Users can choose the parameters such as year, cause of death, geographical level, and statistical indicator, and so dynamic reports are produced ‘on ...
Immunogenicity and protective efficacy of tuberculosis DNA vaccines combining mycolyl-transferase Ag85A and phosphate transport receptor PstS-3.
driven by two independent promoters (in pBudCE4.1 vector). Comparable levels of Ag85A specific T helper 1 (Th1) type immune responses could be induced by the two combination vaccines and the single vaccine ...
Priming but not boosting with plasmid DNA encoding mycolyl-transferase Ag85A from Mycobacterium tuberculosis increases the survival time of Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccinated mice against low dose intravenous challenge with M. tuberculosis H37Rv.
increased in mice primed with DNA prior to BCG, and in BCG vaccinated mice subsequently boosted with DNA. In the latter immunization protocol, antigenic stimulation also induced significant levels of IL-17. ...
Induction of in vivo functional Db-restricted cytolytic T cell activity against a putative phosphate transport receptor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
cytokine levels, whereas mice of H-2(d, k, r, s, and q) haplotype were completely unreactive. Low responsiveness against PstS-3 in MHC class II mutant B6.C-H-2(bm12) mice could be overcome by DNA ...
