Contribution of chronic conditions to smoking differences in life expectancy with and without disability in Belgium
decomposition methods. Results Never smokers live longer than daily smokers. DFLE advantage at age 15 of +8.5/+4.3 years (y) in men/women never compared with daily smokers was the result of lower mortality (+6.2y/+3y) and ...
Risk to human health related to the presence of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and perfluorooctanoic acid in food
metabolism. Estimated human half-lives for PFOS and PFOA are about 5 years and 2?4 years, respectively. The derivation of a health-based guidance value was based on human epidemiological studies. For PFOS, the ...
RNA-based drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
the knowledge on resistance mutations which is limited for especially 2nd-line and new drugs, (b) do not distinguish living from death cells, (c) ignore all intrinsic resistance mechanisms like efflux ...
Multivalent binding of herpesvirus to living cells is tightly regulated during infection.
introduce a new method to force-probe multivalent attachment directly on living cells, and we show, for the first time, direct evidence of a new mechanism by which a herpesvirus surface glycoprotein acts as ...
Genome Editing in Agriculture: Methods, Applications, and Governance—A paper in the series on The Need for Agricultural Innovation to Sustainably Feed the World by 2050
(CAST), Volume 60, Issue 60 (2018) Abstract: Genome editing is the process of making precise, targeted sequence changes in the deoxyribonucleic acid of living cells and organisms. Recent advances have made ...
Distribution of HCV genotypes in Belgium from 2008 to 2015.
a genotyping assay was performed in 2008 were younger than those from 2015. Geographical distribution demonstrates that an important number of genotyped HCV patients live outside the Belgian metropolitan cities. ...
Welfare-Adjusted Life Years (WALY): A novel metric of animal welfare that combines the impacts of impaired welfare and abbreviated lifespan.
the Disability-Adjusted Life Year approach used in human health audits, we propose WALY as the sum of a) the years lived with impaired welfare due to a particular cause and b) the years of life lost due ...
Porcine NK Cells Stimulate Proliferation of Pseudorabies Virus-Experienced CD8 and CD4CD8 T Cells.
with a live attenuated PRV vaccine strain triggers expression of MHC class II on porcine NK cells, that porcine NK cells can internalize debris from PRV-infected target cells, and that NK cells can ...
Changes in health in Belgium, 1990-2016: a benchmarking analysis based on the global burden of disease 2016 study
different in terms of AS Year Lived with Disability (YLD) and Disability-Adjusted Life Year (DALY) rates. The contribution of AS YLD s to total of AS DALY s increased from 1990 (42%) to 2016 (54%). Although ...
