Introduction of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in Belgium, 2007-2008.
Institute for Health and Disability Insurance reimbursed the HPV vaccine for girls aged between 12-15 years. In December 2008, the age limit was extended to include girls up to the age of 18. In November ...
Validation of two real-time RT-PCR methods for foot-and-mouth disease diagnosis: RNA-extraction, matrix effect, uncertainty of measurement and precision.
effect on the analytical sensitivity was found for blood or foot epithelium. Approximately 1log(10) reduction in detection limit was noted for faecal and tongue epithelium samples, whereas a 3log(10) ...
Brominated flame retardants in Belgian home-produced eggs: levels and contamination sources
of eggs to the total daily intake of PBDE s appears to be limited (10% for chicken owners and 5% for the average Belgian consumer) Health Topics: Food consumption and food safety Consommation et ...
Assessment of the chemical contamination in home-produced eggs in Belgium: general overview of the CONTEGG study.
found that in some cases dioxin-like compounds were present at levels that are of concern for the health of the egg consumers. Therefore, measures to limit their contamination in eggs, produced by hens of ...
Characterization of Salmonella Enteritidis isolated from foods and patients in northern Morocco
plasmids of 90 kb. CONCLUSIONS: The conclusions of this study are drawn from a limited number of isolates. It would be desirable to investigate a greater and more diverse population of Salmonella isolates. ...
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 ...
Humoral, cell-mediated and mucosal immunity induced by oculo-nasal vaccination of one-day-old SPF and conventional layer chicks with two different live Newcastle disease vaccines.
chickens limited, if not completely abrogated, their immune responses to vaccination. This study increases our understanding of the protective immune response against Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and ...
Fourier transform infrared immunosensors for model hapten molecules.
given for standard operating conditions. FTIR detection limits are comparable to those obtained by ELISA. The limits of detection are about 5-15 ng/mL for the coupled DNP. Using the LO- DNP61 antibody, ...
Triage of women with equivocal or low-grade cervical cytology results: a meta-analysis of the HPV test positivity rate.
European compared to American studies. Women with LSIL, especially younger women, have high HPV positivity rates suggesting limited utility of reflex HPV triaging these cases. Research is needed to identify ...
Validation of a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric assay for tacrolimus in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
validated in the range of 0.01-5 ng/mL. Limit of detection and of quantification are 0.005 and 0.01 ng/mL, respectively. Intra-assay and interassay recoveries ranged from 89.2% to 114.3% and 85.3% to 103.9%, ...
