Identification of Mycobacterium abscessus Subspecies by MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry and Machine Learning.
challenging. In this study, a collection of 325 clinical isolates of M. abscessus was used for MALDI- TOF MS analysis and for the development of machine learning predictive models based on MALDI- TOF MS protein ...
Post COVID-19 condition and health-related quality of life: a longitudinal cohort study in the Belgian adult population
months later. Linear mixed regression models were built to assess the longitudinal association between participants’ characteristics and the evolution of their HRQ oL. Results This study found ...
Self-uniqueness beliefs and adherence to recommended precautions. A 5-wave longitudinal COVID-19 study
a 5-wave longitudinal study in December 2020-May 2021 (N ≈ 5000/wave). The sample was in key respects representative for the Belgian population. We used joint models to examine the relationship between ...
The HLS19-COM-P, a new instrument for measuring communicative health literacy in interaction with ohysicians: development and validation in nine European countries
unidimensional partial credit Rasch model, obtained acceptable goodness-of-fit indices and high reliability. Two items tend to under-discriminate. Few items displayed differential item functioning (DIF) across ...
Estimating national and subnational nutrient intake distributions of global diets
the estimation of inadequacy, and make these distributions publicly available. METHODS: We compiled dietary data sets from 31 geographically diverse countries, modeled usual intake distributions for 32 ...
Optimization of Long-Acting Bronchodilator Dose Ratios Using Isolated Guinea Pig Tracheal Rings for Synergistic Combination Therapy in Asthma and COPD.
tiotropium bromide monohydrate (TIO) to assess their synergistic potential. This was done using an appropriate ex vivo model of isolated perfused guinea pig tracheal rings, and pharmacological models of drug ...
Validation of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy for Serotyping of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
and (ii) train an artificial neural network (ANN) model to predict unknown pneumococcal serotypes. During validation using 153 additional strains, we reached 98.0% accuracy for determining serotypes ...
Insights From Early Clinical Trials Assessing Response to mRNA SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination in Immunocompromised Patients.
of which can be severely affected/deficient in immunocompromised people. In this article, we first review current knowledge on the immunobiology of SARS- COV-2 mRNA vaccination in animal models and in ...

Predictors of exceeding emergency under-five mortality thresholds using small-scale survey data from humanitarian settings (1999- 2020): considerations for measles vaccination, malnutrition, and displacement status.
Emergency Database (CE- DAT). Under-five mortality rates were dichotomized to those exceeding critical levels or otherwise. A Bayesian multivariable mixed-effect logistic regression model was used to assess ...
