Novel prediction models for genotoxicity based on biomarker genes in human HepaRG™ cells.
were used, but as unsupervised machine learning did not clearly distinguish between groups, the performance of two supervised machine learning algorithms, i.e., support vector machine (SVM) and random ...
Daily heart rate characteristics, allergy symptom severity and mood in adults with allergic rhinitis
hours/day). Associations between heart rate characteristics and allergy symptom severity or mood (lag 0-2) were estimated using linear mixed effects regressions, adjusted for potential confounders with a random ...
Quality control and correction method for air temperature data from a citizen science weather station network in Leuven, Belgium
intra-station (station-specific) temperature biases by means of a random forest approach. The QC method is evaluated using data from four WH2600 stations installed next to official weather stations belonging to ...
Variability in the association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and mortality by exposure assessment method and covariate adjustment: A census-based country-wide cohort study
model using hybrid LUR exposure were 1.023 (95% CI 1.011-1.035). After including random effects HR s were 1.044 (95% CI 1.033-1.057) [NUTS-1] and 1.076 (95% CI 1.060-1.092) [NUTS-3]. Conclusion Long-term ...
Association between temperature and natural mortality in Belgium: Effect modification by individual characteristics and residential environment
pooled using a random-effect meta-analysis to describe the global association. Cold and heat effects were assessed by comparing the mortality risks corresponding to the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of the ...
Higher buccal mtDNA content is associated with residential surrounding green in a panel study of primary school children
sensing derived map. Given the repeated measures design, we applied a mixed-effects model with school and subject as random effect while adjusting for a priori chosen fixed covariates. Results: mtDNAc was assessed ...
Different Effects of a School-Based Physical Activity Intervention on Health-related Quality of Life
Well-being in School, targeted PE lessons, in-class activities, and physical activities during recess. It was evaluated in a cluster-randomized design and included students from 4 to 6th grade at 24 Danish ...
Combining primary care surveillance and a meta-analysis to estimate the incidence of the clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis in Belgium, 2015–2017
Belgium. To estimate these ratios, we performed a systematic review of studies published between February 1, 2008 and January 31, 2018 and pooled the results using a random effects meta-analysis. Six studies ...
Human biomonitoring of heavy metals in the vicinity of non-ferrous metal plants in Ath, Belgium.
did a random sampling in the general population of Ath in two areas: a central area, including the plants, and a peripheral area, presumably less exposed. We quantified cadmium, lead, nickel, chromium ...
