Combining primary care surveillance and a meta-analysis to estimate the incidence of the clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis in Belgium, 2015–2017
82.0–113.0) for the period 2015–2017. This result was used to estimate the incidence of other LB manifestations based on their proportional distribution (ratios) to EM reported in the neighboring countries of ...
Multivalent binding of herpesvirus to living cells is tightly regulated during infection.
sulfate both on model surfaces and on living cells. Our biophysical results, correlated with other techniques, show that the major envelope glycoprotein functions as a regulator of binding valency during ...
Neonatal factors predictive for respiratory and gastro-intestinal morbidity after esophageal atresia repair.
calculate odds ratios for significant risk factors. RESULTS: Fifty-seven patients (61%) had a complicated clinical course in the first year of life and 47 (51%) had a complicated evolution during years 1-6. ...
Levels of organochlorinated pesticide residues and other persistent organic pollutants in breast milk: the Belgian results from the 6th WHO-coordinated survey
over time Main POP s still measurable are DDT, HCB and B- HCH breast milk advised as first choice for nursing babies The results support further monitoring and reduction of exposure Health Topics: Health and ...
Comparison of SNP-based subtyping workflows for bacterial isolates using WGS data, applied to Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium and serotype 1,4,[5],12:i:.
modifications of the existing workflows were also tested. This allowed us to propose data analysis schemes most suitable for routine SNP-based subtyping applied to S. Typhimurium and S. 1,4,[5],12:i:-. Results ...
A novel genotoxin-specific qPCR array based on the metabolically competent human HepaRG™ cell line as a rapid and reliable tool for improved in vitro hazard assessment
regulatory accepted batteries for in vitro genotoxicity testing is recognized, they result in a high number of false positives. This has a major impact on society and industries developing novel compounds ...
Heat and health in Antwerp under climate change: Projected impacts and implications for prevention.
assuming alternatively no acclimatization and acclimatization based on a constant threshold percentile temperature. RESULTS: During the sample period 2009-2013 we observed an increase in daily mortality from ...
Biomarkers in patients admitted to the emergency department after exposure to acrylonitrile in a major railway incident involving bulk chemical material.
and thiocyanate (SCN), biomarkers determined during emergency care. RESULTS: 438 patients from 11 ED ’s were included and presented with known symptoms of ACN poisoning but also with concern about the ...
