Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Claire Demoury; Raf Aerts; Finaba Berete; Lefebvre, Wouter; Pauwels, Arno; Vanpoucke, Charlotte; Johan Van der Heyden; Eva M De Clercq Source: Environmental Health, Volume 23, Issue 1 (2024) Heal ...
Pollutant exposure and myocardial injury: Protocol and progress report for a toxicological systematic mapping review.
key study elements regarding study setup, methodology, techniques, and (qualitative and quantitative) outcomes. Subsequent synthesis will consist of an explorative meta-analysis of possible ...
Novel prediction models for genotoxicity based on biomarker genes in human HepaRG™ cells.
RNA-sequencing, was investigated. Overall, the RF and SVM models were complementary in their classification of chemicals for genotoxicity. To facilitate data analysis, an online application was developed, combining ...
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
improves the reconstruction of genomes and helps to resolve complex genomic contexts, especially in the case of metagenome analysis. To take the best advantage of long-read sequencing, DNA extraction methods ...
Simultaneous Detection and Quantification of Aflatoxin M1, Eight Microcystin Congeners and Nodularin in Dairy Milk by LC-MS/MS
extracted with methanol 80%, followed by an SPE clean-up step before LC- MS / MS analysis. The LOQ was fixed at 1 µg/L for the nine cyanotoxins and 0.05 µg/L for AFM1. Recoveries were measured between 82.67% ...
Validity of air pollution annoyance to assess long-term exposure to air pollution in Belgium
coefficient, analysis of variance and multivariable ordinal logistic regressions (OLR). Results A significant exposure-response relationship was observed between long term air pollution exposure and ...
A Summer of Cyanobacterial Blooms in Belgian Waterbodies: Microcystin Quantification and Molecular Characterizations
Source: Toxins, Volume 14, Issue 1 (2022) Keywords: analysis blooms Liquid Chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) Mass Spectrometry microcystin Monitoring planktonic cyanobacteria Abstract: ...
Variability in the association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and mortality by exposure assessment method and covariate adjustment: A census-based country-wide cohort study
Environmental hazard exposure assessment health effects population-based Survival Analysis Abstract: Background Ambient air pollution exposure has been associated with higher mortality risk in numerous studies. ...
Association between temperature and natural mortality in Belgium: Effect modification by individual characteristics and residential environment
pooled using a random-effect meta-analysis to describe the global association. Cold and heat effects were assessed by comparing the mortality risks corresponding to the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of the ...
Air pollution in association with mental and self-rated health and the mediating effect of physical activity
association was found between long-term ambient air pollution and suicidal ideation or severe psychological distress. The mediation analysis suggested that between 15.2% (PM2.5-generalized anxiety disorder) and ...
