The GEN-ERA toolbox: unified and reproducible workflows for research in microbial genomics
were studied, resulting in the GEN- ERA toolbox. The latter is a unified cluster of bioinformatic workflows dedicated to both bacteria and small eukaryotes (e.g., yeasts). Findings: This public toolbox ...
Full Characterisation of Heroin Samples Using Infrared Spectroscopy and Multivariate Calibration
Squares (PLS) modelling, in order to obtain qualitative and quantitative models based on real live samples. The approach showed that it was possible to identify and quantify heroin in the samples based on ...
Psychosocial factors associated with health-related quality of life in patients with chronic disease: Results of a cross-sectional survey
models were built to analyze the key psychosocial factors associated with HRQ oL (EQ-5D-5L as dependent factor). RESULTS: Overall, the strongest independently associated factor with HRQ oL was illness ...
Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling
samples during an outbreak investigation requires the samples to be enriched in order to reach detectable levels. However, a bias can occur during the enrichment of the food due to competition between the ...
Microbial quality analysis of falsified medicines seized by controling agencies
bachelor’s degree thesis, I present the results obtained for the bacterial and fungal contamination preset in illicit PDE-5 inhibitors, seized by Belgian authorities, by determining their bioburden. Bioburden ...
Multidimensional chromatographic fingerprinting combined with chemometrics for the identification of regulated plants in suspicious plant food supplements
commonly encountered in PFS claiming weight-loss as indication. However, PFS usually are composed of mixtures of different plants resulting into a not so straightforward approach for their detection. In ...
Data collection in pandemic times: the case of the Belgian COVID-19 health surveys
collection modes. This paper describes the methodological choices and results in terms of participation for the COVID-19 health surveys conducted in Belgium. Methods The COVID-19 health surveys refer to ...
Uncovering the Quality Deficiencies with Potentially Harmful Effects in Substandard and Falsified PDE-5 Inhibitors Seized by Belgian Controlling Agencies
medical supervision and might be of poor quality which could result in adverse reactions. In order to provide an overview of the quality deficiencies present in recently seized illicit PDE-5 samples that ...
The analysis of cannabinoids in e-cigarette liquids using LC-HRAM-MS and LC-UV.
In Belgium, CBD-containing e-liquids with a total THC content lower than 0.2% (w/w) are currently legal. In order to verify the compliance of the different CBD-containing e-cigarette liquids that are ...
