Predictive model for BNT162b2 vaccine response in cancer patients based on blood cytokines and growth factors.
cytokine), IL-18 (interferon-gamma inducing factor), and placental growth factor (an angiogenic cytokine) correctly classified patients with a diminished vaccine response assessed at day 49 with >80% ...
Organizing the health interview survey at the local level: design of a pilot study.
reflects the initial sample. Therefore, weights should be added in the analyses to correct for potential deviations in sample composition. Furthermore, implementing a sequential mixed-mode design with a web ...
Use of near infrared spectroscopy and chemometrics for the classification of different Cannabis spp. samples found in Belgium
Score plot of the PC1, PC2 and PC3 of spectra pretreated. Samples with >0.2% THC in red and blue and sample with < 0.2% THC in green. The SIMCA classification model has a correct classification rate ...

approche et une interprétation correctes de la Directive Pratique qui ne concerne que l’agrément des laboratoires et qui peut être utilisée pour satisfaire aux exigences de l’Arrêté d’agrément. La Directive ...
The 2021 WHO catalogue of complex mutations associated with drug resistance: A genotypic analysis.
and Benjamini-Hochberg corrected p-values. Mutations were graded as Associated with Resistance if present in at least 5 isolates, if the odds ratio was >1 with a statistically significant corrected ...
Multicentre study on the reproducibility of MALDI-TOF MS for nontuberculous mycobacteria identification.
was obtained for 100% of isolates in 5 laboratories (68.2-98.6% in the other). Species-level identification provided by MALDI- TOF was 100% correct in 8 centres and 100% correct to complex-level in 12 ...
Investigations upon the Improvement of Dermatophyte Identification Using an Online Mass Spectrometry Application.
a Microflex Bruker spectrometer. Diversifying the references and adding spectra from various culture media and culture durations improved identification performance. The percentage of correct identification at ...
Retrospective evaluation of routine whole genome sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis at the Belgian National Reference Center, 2019.
MTB strains analyzed in 2019 (n = 306). RESULTS: In all cases, the WGS-based procedure was able to identify correctly the MTB species. Compared to MGIT drug susceptibility testing (DST), the sensitivity ...
Characterization and risk identification of falsified medicines and adulterated dietary supplements
medicines is not enough to evaluate their risk and that a broader characterization of the products is necessary for a correct risk evaluation. In another part of the project an onsite infrared based approach ...
