Development of a genoserotyping system for the identification of Salmonella serotypes
(EU regulation N°2160/2003, Belgian royal decree 27/04/2007 and Belgian FASFC note BP- MN- FDS / LABO /1557457 v8), with the aim to limit their transmission to humans. Unfortunately, the classical ...
Detection of toxins involved in foodborne diseases caused by Gram‐positive bacteria
application in food safety, limits of detection and quantification, matrices in which they are applicable, and type of information they provide to the user. Service: Risques chimiques et physiques pour la ...
Development and Validation of a UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS Method for Quantification of Oleandrin and Other Cardiac Glycosides and Evaluation of Their Levels in Herbs and Spices from the Belgian Market
urine were diluted with acidified water and purified on Oasis® HLB SPE cartridges. Limits of quantification were in the range of 1.5–15 ng/g for herbs and 0.025–1 ng/mL for urine. The mean recovery of ...
Risk assessment of chlorinated paraffins in feed and food
weights in male and female rats for SCCP s and MCCP s, respectively. For LCCP s, a reference point relevant for humans could not be identified. Due to the limitations in the toxicokinetic and toxicological ...
Phylogenetic Analysis of Belgian Small Ruminant Lentiviruses Supports Cross Species Virus Transmission and Identifies New Subtype B5 Strains.
current SRLV phylogeny revealed that many subtypes have been defined over the years based on limited sequence information. To keep phylogeny as a useful tool, we advocate to apply more rigorous sequencing ...
Risk assessment of aflatoxins in food
exposure. Aflatoxins are genotoxic and AFB1 can cause hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC s) in humans. The CONTAM Panel selected a benchmark dose lower confidence limit (BMDL) for a benchmark response of 10% of ...
Weight and head circumference at birth in function of placental paraben load in Belgium: an ENVIRONAGE birth cohort study
products. Epidemiological studies regarding the adverse effects of parabens on fetuses are limited. The aim of this study was to determine the association between placental paraben exposure and birth ...
Determinants of placental iodine concentrations in a mild-to-moderate iodine-deficient population: an ENVIRONAGE cohort study
a long-term storage supply, but studies on the determinants of long-term placental iodine load are limited. Methods The placental iodine concentrations were determined for 462 mother-neonate pairs from the ...
Measuring disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to low back pain in Malta
for 2015 provided the LBP prevalence data through representative self-reported history of chronic LBP within the past 12 months in combination with limitations to daily activities. Proportions of LBP ...
Selection of a Noninvasive Source of Human DNA Envisaging Genotyping Assays in Epidemiological Studies: Urine or Saliva?
preferred noninvasive matrix for genotyping purposes in large-scale genetic epidemiologic studies. Only in particular cases using urine could nevertheless be considered useful, although specific limitations ...
