Changes in household food and drink purchases following restrictions on the advertisement of high fat, salt, and sugar products across the Transport for London network: A controlled interrupted time series analysis
attenuated growth of HFSS purchases rather than absolute reduction in HFSS purchases. Study limitations include the lack of out-of-home purchases in our analyses and not being able to assess the sustainability ...
Third dose of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine closes the gap in immune response between naïve nursing home residents and healthy adults.
but limited data is available on the immune responses it induces. METHODS: In this observational cohort study, peak humoral and cellular immune responses were compared 28 days after the second and third ...
The analysis of cannabinoids in e-cigarette liquids using LC-HRAM-MS and LC-UV
applying accuracy profiles and conforming to ISO17025. None of the analysed samples exceeded the legal limit for the total amount of ∆9- THC present. However, of the 20 CBD-liquids investigated in this ...
Development of Digital Droplet PCR Targeting the Influenza H3N2 Oseltamivir-Resistant E119V Mutation and Its Performance through the Use of Reverse Genetics Mutants.
inhibition assay allows the phenotypical identification of resistant strains; however, this test often has limited sensitivity with high variability depending on the virus strain, drugs and assays. Once ...
Implementation of MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry to Identify Fungi From the Indoor Environment as an Added Value to the Classical Morphology-Based Identification Tool
molds is generally performed by microscopy. This method has, however, some limitations as it requires mycologists with high expertise while identification is often limited to the genus level. Therefore, ...
Effects of long-term exposure to 50 Hz magnetic fields on cell viability, genetic damage, and sensitivity to mutagen-induced damage.
exposure limits could result in adverse human health effects. In the present study, the effects of long-term MF exposure on three different study endpoints (cell viability, genetic damage, and sensitivity to ...
Assessment of the clinical and analytical performance of the Aptima SARS-CoV-2 assay using the VALCOR protocol.
of 180 clinical samples were tested with an addition of 40 diluted clinical specimens to determine the limit of detection. When compared to the standard comparator assay Aptima had a sensitivity of ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
Ultimately, a validation of the method is still necessary in order to obtain a precise limit of detection based on the analysis of a large dataset of samples. Moreover, other technologies can still be ...
Combined Phylogeographic Analyses and Epidemiologic Contact Tracing to Characterize Atypically Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H3N1) Epidemic, Belgium, 2019.
strongly correlated with the phylogeographic pattern of the epidemic. We detected only a limited association between wind direction and direction of viral lineage dispersal. Our results highlight the ...
Post COVID-19 condition and health-related quality of life: a longitudinal cohort study in the Belgian adult population
was pain/discomfort. Conclusions With the growing number of people infected with SARS-CoV-2, PCC and its impact on HRQ oL are becoming important public health issues. To allow people with PCC to recover and to limit its ...
