Effects of long-term exposure to 50 Hz magnetic fields on cell viability, genetic damage, and sensitivity to mutagen-induced damage.
sensitivity to mutagen-induced damage were evaluated using the alkaline comet assay and the cytokinesis block micronucleus assay. The results showed that long-term exposure up to 96h to 50 Hz MF at all tested ...
Towards clinical breakpoints for non-tuberculous mycobacteria- Determination of epidemiological cut off values for the Mycobacterium avium complex and Mycobacterium abscessus using broth microdilution.
their importance for establishing antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) breakpoints. METHODS: We gathered MIC distributions for drugs used against the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and ...
HPV-based Cervical Cancer Screening on Self-samples in the Netherlands: Challenges to Reach Women and Test Performance Questions.
Uterine Cervical Neoplasms Abstract: In 2017, cervical cancer screening in the Netherlands switched from cytology to human papillomavirus (HPV) testing using the validated PCR-based cobas 4800. Women could ...
Comparison of Serological Methods for Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus-Specific Antibody Detection in Wild Boar and Sheep: Impact of the Screening Approach on the Estimated Seroprevalence.
positive samples by plaque reduction neutralization tests (PRNT s). In this study, 406 wild boar sera were tested with 2 regularly used commercial ELISA s for flavivirus screening in animals (Immunozym FSME ...

Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
It was proven that whole genome sequencing has a higher resolution than any combination of tests carried out so far. But the isolation is not always possible, and it is time-consuming. A new method ...
Comparison of 6 DNA extraction methods for isolation of high yield of high molecular weight DNA suitable for shotgun metagenomics Nanopore sequencing to detect bacteriaAbstractBackgroundResultsConclusion
on-site application. In addition to the comparison of the quality, quantity and purity of the extracted DNA, the performance obtained when doing Nanopore sequencing on a MinION flow cell was also tested ...
Mental health among people with a migration background in Belgium over the past 20 years: how has the situation evolved?
health among Moroccans and Turks in Belgium between 1997 and 2018, compared to Belgians. This result was confirmed by the Chi²-test, which showed that Turkish (χ²=17.75, p < 0.001) and Moroccans ...
