Global burden of late-stage chronic kidney disease resulting from dietary exposure to cadmium, 2015
Cadmium-related incidence rate, calculated as the change in the prevalence during a one-year period, were used to compute the mortality and DALY in all WHO regions. It is estimated that dietary cadmium would result ...
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.
real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) directed against genomic regions conserved between different isolates. Genetic variation can however result in mismatches of primers and probes with their ...
Nucleotide Sequence Database Comparison for Routine Dermatophyte Identification by Internal Transcribed Spacer 2 Genetic Region DNA Barcoding.
region as an identification barcode of all fungi, including dermatophytes. Several nucleotide databases are available to compare sequences and thus identify isolates; however, these databases often contain ...
Mapping occurrence of Taenia solium taeniosis/cysticercosis and areas at risk of porcine cysticercosis in Central America and the Caribbean basin.
government entities, researchers and relevant institutions across the region were contacted in an attempt to cover all countries and territories. Identified records containing data on porcine cysticercosis ...
Epidemiology of taeniosis/cysticercosis in Europe, a systematic review: Western Europe.
epidemiology of these parasites in this region. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review of scientific and grey literature published from 1990 to 2015 on the epidemiology of T. saginata and T. solium in humans ...
Educational inequalities in premature mortality by region in the Belgian population in the 2000s
at country-level. As Belgium is a federal state with many responsibilities in health policies being transferred to the regional levels, regional breakdown of health indicators is becoming increasingly ...
CystiSim- An Agent-Based Model for Taenia solium Transmission and Control.
https://www.sciensano.be/en/biblio/cystisim-agent-based-model-taenia-solium-transmission-and-control
attempt to regionally eliminate this parasite, we developed cystiSim, an agent-based model for T. solium transmission and control. The model was developed in R and available as an R package ...
Retrospective study of human cystic echinococcosis over the past decade in France, using a nationwide hospital medical information database.
annual incidence rate was 0.42 hospitalized cases/100,000 inhabitants. It was highest in the Island of Corsica (1.76 cases/100,000) and in the region Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (0.85 cases/100,000). This ...
Regional differences in the validity of self-reported use of health care in Belgium: selection versus reporting bias.
the impact of selection and reporting bias on the validity of regional differences in health care use observed in the BHIS. METHODS: To assess reporting bias, self-reported BHIS 2008 data were linked ...
Sustained low rotavirus activity and hospitalisation rates in the post-vaccination era in Belgium, 2007 to 2014.
in the European Union to recommend rotavirus vaccination in the routine infant vaccination schedule and rapidly achieved high vaccine uptake (86-89% in 2007). We used regional and national data sources ...
