Updating the Taxonomy of Dermatophytes of the BCCM/IHEM Collection According to the New Standard: A Phylogenetic Approach.
(Arthrodermataceae) family tree. These changes promoted us to investigate the impact of the changed nomenclature of the dermatophyte strains in the BCCM / IHEM fungal collection, which contains strains of all ...
Assessment of estrogenic compounds in paperboard for dry food packaging with the ERE-CALUX bioassay
a bioanalytical tool to investigate estrogenic activities of paperboard food packaging and its characteristics, including recycling rate and printing ink. A “worst case” scenario with full extraction is compared to ...
Antimicrobial use in European long-term care facilities: results from the third point prevalence survey of healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial use, 2016 to 2017
Healthcare-Associated infections in Long-Term care facilities (HALT) projects. Here, we investigated prevalence and characteristics of antimicrobial use and antimicrobial stewardship indicators in European LTCF s in ...
Contribution of chronic conditions to gender disparities in health expectancies in Belgium, 2001, 2004 and 2008
European Journal of Public Health (2018) Keywords: causes of death causes of morbidity DISABILITY Gender HEALTH EXPECTANCY inequity Life expectancy Abstract: Background We aimed to investigate the ...
Strong increase of true and false positive mycobacterial cultures sent to the National Reference Centre in Belgium, 2007 to 2016.
observational study investigated the numbers of analyses at the NRC and false positive cultures (interpreted as containing mycobacteria at referring clinical laboratories, but with no mycobacterial DNA detected ...
Global burden of intellectual disability resulting from dietary exposure to lead, 2015
an uncertainty range of 0-31 million DALY s. Significant uncertainties regarding exposure and dose-response relationships, however, warrant continued investigation. Health Topics: Burden of disease ...
A probabilistic approach for risk-benefit assessment of food substitutions: A case study on substituting meat by fish
individuals. We therefore propose the use of probabilistic methods to model substitution and assess health impact distributions in risk-benefit assessment (RBA) of foods. We investigated the health impact of ...
Personal exposure to traffic-related air pollutants and relationships with respiratory symptoms and oxidative stress: A pilot cross-sectional study among urban green space workers.
8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine [8- OH dG]). Associations between exposure and health outcomes were investigated using comparison tests and linear regression models, after stratification by present-day smoking status. Spatial ...
