Comparison of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) systems for the identification of moulds in the routine microbiology laboratory.
Microflex LT (MLT) — and the MSI application. METHODS: Moulds were collected retrospectively and prospectively to display epidemiological diversity of a microbiology laboratory. All of them were identified ...
HIV testing within general practices in Europe: a mixed-methods systematic review.
been synthesised in a systematic review adhering to the PRISMA guidelines. METHODS: The databases PubMed, Scopus and Embase were searched for the period 2006-2017. Two authors judged independently on ...
Evaluation of three MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry libraries for the identification of filamentous fungi in three clinical microbiology laboratories in Manitoba, Canada.
Identification (MSI) online library, and compared those results to conventional (morphological) and molecular (18S/ ITS; gold standard) identification methods. All 3 libraries demonstrated greater accuracy in ...
Prediction of Susceptibility to First-Line Tuberculosis Drugs by DNA Sequencing
susceptibility to first-line antituberculosis drugs has not been clear. METHODS: We obtained whole-genome sequences and associated phenotypes of resistance or susceptibility to the first-line antituberculosis ...
Eight years after an international workshop on myotonic dystrophy patient registries: case study of a global collaboration for a rare disease.
agreed in 2009. These registries represent over 10,000 myotonic dystrophy patients worldwide (Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania). RESULTS: The registries use a variety of data collection methods ...
Application of whole genome data for in silico evaluation of primers and probes routinely employed for the detection of viral species by RT-qPCR using dengue virus as a case study.
targeted nucleic acid regions. Whole genome sequencing allows to characterize and track such changes, which in turn enables to evaluate, optimize, and (re-)design novel and existing RT-qPCR methods. The ...
Relationship between mold exposure, specific IgE sensitization, and clinical asthma: A case-control study.
indoor mold contamination among mold-sensitized patients with asthma and nonsensitized patients with asthma. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted and several asthma severity markers were compared ...
Very Long Persistence of Botulinum Toxin B in a Patient’s Serum
method. Botulinum toxin was still detected in the serum up to 29 days after food consumption while it was not detected anymore in the faeces. Conclusion: The described case highlights i) prolonged presence ...
Utilization of gabapentin by people in treatment for substance use disorders in Belgium (2011-2014): a cross-sectional study.
bought gabapentin in a time span that could indicate consumption at a dose that exceeded the maximum approved dose of 3600 mg/day. Methods: This analysis is the result of an observational cross-sectional ...
Longitudinal pharmacoepidemiological and health services research for substance users in treatment: protocol of the Belgian TDI-IMA linkage.
disorders and for a group of comparators. Methods: The TDI-database was linked to the IMA-database for the period between 01/0½008 and 31/12/2017, based on the national identification number of patients who ...
