Psycho-social factors related to obesity and their associations with socioeconomic characteristics: the RECORD study.
being female (3.31, 95% CI 2.70, 4.40) were associated with an adverse psycho-social profile. CONCLUSIONS: Psycho-social profiles could help to understand the multifactorial nature of the determinants ...
Physicochemical Characterization of the Pristine E171 Food Additive by Standardized and Validated Methods.
spectrometry (spICP- MS). The evaluation of selected sample preparation protocols allowed identifying and optimizing the critical factors that determine the measurement of the particle size distribution by TEM. ...
Molecular surveillance of anti-malarial drug resistance in Democratic Republic of Congo: high variability of chloroquinoresistance and lack of amodiaquinoresistance.
to 63.9% in 2014. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of K76T mutations in circulating strains of Plasmodium falciparum, 16 years after CQ withdrawal in the DRC and to investigate ...
DETERMINATION OF SENSITIZING AND IRRITATING LEACHABLES IN MENSTRUAL HYGIENE PRODUCTS
Publication Type: Dissertation Authors: Alexandra Gatzios; Bart Desmedt; Vanhaecke, Tamara Source: Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussel, p.71 (2020) Abstract: Menstrual hygiene products (MHP s) like tampons, sanitary towels and panty liners are widely used ...
Variability of iodine concentrations in the human placenta.
birth cohort, took samples at three standardized locations of the placentas, pooled and digested them, and determined the iodine concentrations using an ICP- MS method as an alternative for the ...
Adjusting for comorbidity in incidence-based DALY calculations: an individual-based modeling approach
for simultaneously experienced health states and duration in each health state were determined. Third, YLD, adjusted for comorbidity, was calculated at every time step. We simulated a cohort of 1000 ...
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 ...
Impact of DNA extraction on whole genome sequencing analysis for characterization and relatedness of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli isolates
Abstract: Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has proven to be the ultimate tool for bacterial isolate characterization and relatedness determination. However, standardized and harmonized workflows, e.g. for DNA ...
Combining short and long read sequencing to characterize antimicrobial resistance genes on plasmids applied to an unauthorized genetically modified Bacillus
a major public health threat. Plasmids are able to transfer AMR genes among bacterial isolates. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a powerful tool to monitor AMR determinants. However, plasmids are difficult ...
