Pollutant exposure and myocardial injury: Protocol and progress report for a toxicological systematic mapping review.
Donzelli, Gabriele; Ritskes-Hoitinga, Merel; Gehring, Ronette Source: ALTEX (2023) Abstract: An increasing body of evidence identifies pollutant exposure as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), ...
Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
larger MP s in terms of occurrence, distribution, quantification, and toxicological effects on humans identifying food as their main intake source. Nowadays, research interest is going towards MP s with ...
Novel prediction models for genotoxicity based on biomarker genes in human HepaRG™ cells.
methodologies (NAM s) to identify molecular events underlying the genotoxic mode of action of chemicals. Previously, we developed the GENOMARK biomarker, consisting of 84 genes selected based on whole genomics ...
Occurrence of microcystin congeners in surface waters and food in Belgium as a source of exposure to humans
also identified in the waterbody samples to better characterize the cyanobacteria blooms. Algal-based food supplements were also identified as a potential exposure source. The presence of toxin-producing ...
A qualitative approach to experiential knowledge identified in focus groups aimed at co-designing a provocation test in the study of electrohypersensitivity
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Jimmy, Bordarie; Maël, Dieudonné; M. Ledent; Nicolas, Prignot Source: Annals of Medicine, Volume 54, Issue 1 (2022) Keywords: Contested illnesses Electromagnetic hypersensitivity focus groups IEI ...
A Summer of Cyanobacterial Blooms in Belgian Waterbodies: Microcystin Quantification and Molecular Characterizations
method allowed to detect and quantify eight microcystin congeners. The mcyE gene was detected using PCR, while dominant cyanobacterial species were identified using 16S RNA amplification and direct ...
Association between temperature and natural mortality in Belgium: Effect modification by individual characteristics and residential environment
and black carbon) to identify more vulnerable population subgroups. Results Based on 307,859 deaths from natural causes, we found significant cold effect (OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.30–1.57) and heat effect ...
Association between urban environment and mental health in Brussels, Belgium
health. It is therefore important to identify features of the urban environment that affect the mental health of city dwellers. The aim of this study was to define associations of combined long-term ...
Association between local airborne tree pollen composition and surrounding land cover across different spatial scales in Northern Belgium
composition patterns. The overall objective of this study is to determine local variations in tree pollen composition with passive samplers and to identify the surrounding landscape characteristics that drive them. In ...
Lineages Within the Trichophyton rubrum Complex.
within the complex each with a distinct morphology and identifiable via MALDI- TOF MS: T. rubrum, T. violaceum, T. soudanense and the T. yaoundei clade. However, ITS and Bt2 sequencing data could not ...
