Development, validation and application of multi-class methods for the analysis of food additives by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry
quantification, accuracy, repeatability, and intra-laboratory reproducibility. Finally, the methods were successfully applied to eighty-four actual samples. All additives were found below authorised levels ...
Burden of disease of COVID-19: Strengthening the collaboration for national studies
to COVID-19 may hamper comparisons. We describe efforts to support countries in estimating the national-level burden of COVID-19 using disability-adjusted life years. Methods: The European Burden of ...
Development of a data-intensive centralized system for surveillance and outbreak investigation of bacterial pathogens using whole-genome sequencing
time-optimized sequencing experiments (with and without the real-time analysis protocol) that maintain a predefined level of performance for the bioinformatics analysis. Afterwards, a method for pathogen ...
Estimating the direct Disability-Adjusted Life Years associated with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) in the Republic of Ireland: The first full year
cause of death over our study’s duration. Conclusion: Estimating the burden of a disease at national level is useful for comparing its impact with other diseases in the population and across populations. ...
