The increasing significance of disease severity in a burden of disease framework
DALY s. There is a paucity of data on how the population-level occurrence of disease is distributed according to severity, and as such, the majority of global and national efforts in monitoring YLD lack ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
have always been analyzed and characterized after isolation. Since the advent of second generation sequencing, it has been possible to characterize the complete genome of these isolates to the SNP level ...
Environmental degradation and the increasing burden of allergic disease: The need to determine the impact of nitrogen pollution
severity. Through multiple impacts on multiple traits at multiple levels, environmental nitrogen pollution may lead to changes in plant community composition and plant pollen biochemical properties that ...
Global estimates of incidence and mortality of cervical cancer in 2020: a baseline analysis of the WHO Global Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative.
UN-defined world regions, and by four-tier levels of the Human Development Index (HDI). Time trends (1988-2017) in incidence were extracted from the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents (CI5) plus database. ...

SARS-CoV-2 infection prevention and control measures in Belgian schools between December 2020 and June 2021 and their association with seroprevalence: a cross-sectional analysis of a prospective cohort study
Belgian schools were relatively compliant with recommended IPC measures at the school level. Higher SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among pupils and staff was found in schools with poor implementation of IPC ...
