The performance of a point-of-care test for the diagnosis of Neurocysticercosis in a resource-poor community setting in Zambia- a diagnostic accuracy study.
unavailability and unaffordability of serologic assays and neuroimaging. This study aimed to assess the performance of a cheap, novel lateral-flow point-of-care (TS POC) test for the diagnosis of NCC in ...
QC as a basis for human application of phage therapy in Belgium
phage productions. The choice of approaches and methodologies for genetic analyses and pyrogenicity assessment will be discussed, and potential future developments, supported by data generated through ...
Characterization of functional nanoparticles applied in face masks by STEM-EDX
development regarding the assessment of inhalation exposure to nanoparticles during mask use. To assess the potential of particle release and associated risks, at first a detailed characterization of the ...
Personalized bacteriophage therapy outcomes for 100 consecutive cases: a multicentre, multinational, retrospective observational study.
difficult-to-treat infections facilitated by a Belgian consortium in 35 hospitals, 29 cities and 12 countries during the period from 1 January 2008 to 30 April 2022. We assessed how often personalized BT produced ...
Quantitative risk assessments of skin sensitization for 26 allergens in different consumer products in the Saudi market
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: AL-Mussallam, Adnan S.; Alshathri, Rawan S.; Bart Desmedt; Aldawsari, Fahad S.; Eric Deconinck; Alharthi, Omniyah A.; Bawazir, Abdullah T. Source: Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, Volume 1 ...
Vaccine effectiveness against onward transmission of SARS-CoV2-infection by variant of concern and time since vaccination, Belgian contact tracing, 2021.
a re-assessment. METHODS: We estimated VE against transmission of infection (VET) from Belgian contact tracing data for high-risk exposure contacts between 26/0½021 and 14/12/2021 by susceptibility (VE s) and ...
Importance of anti-SARS-CoV-2 assay antigenic composition as revealed by the results of the Belgian external quality assessment (EQA) scheme.
divergent results in the Belgian SARS-CoV-2 serology external quality assessment scheme. Sample IS /17575 was serum originating from a 30 years old male patient. 124 diagnostic laboratories analysed this ...
Poor antibody response to BioNTech/Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination in SARS-CoV-2 naïve residents of nursing homes.
RBD Ab avidity, and neutralizing Ab against SARS-CoV-2 wild type and B.1.351 were assessed at days 0, 21, 28, and 49. RESULTS: SARS-CoV-2 naïve residents had lower Ab responses to BNT162 b2 mRNA ...
Development of a multiplex immunoassay for simultaneous detection of antigens in DTaP vaccines
that could be implemented for routine potency assessment of vaccines. Our work focused on the development of a Luminex-based multiplex assay (four to six-plex assay depending on the number of pertussis ...
Deepening of In Silico Evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 Detection RT-qPCR Assays in the Context of New Variants
future SARS-CoV-2 testing. Given the potential threat of the new variants, it is crucial to assess if they can still be correctly targeted by the primers and probes of the RT-qPCR assays. Our study ...
