Heat related mortality in the two largest Belgian urban areas: A time series analysis
different urban areas. Objectives The objective of this study is to assess the heat-mortality relationship in the two largest urban areas in Belgium, i.e. Antwerp and Brussels for the warm seasons from 2002 ...
Physico-chemical characterisation of the fraction of silver (nano)particles in pristine food additive E174 and in E174-containing confectionery
E174 is a specific concern for the E174 risk assessment. This study characterised the fraction of silver (nano)particles in 10 commercially available pristine E174 food additives and 10 E174-containing ...
Challenges to Differentiate Hepatitis C Genotype 1 and 6: Results from A Field-Study in Cambodia.
only should not be used in Cambodia. Regional/national guidelines should be explicit about this. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study was performed as part of a larger cross-sectional study on the burden of ...
Acrylamide in other foods_Determination of acrylamide levels in some food categories and estimation of the exposure for the Belgian population
This call echoes a EFSA scientific opinion of March 2019 stating that partial substitution of wheat flour with chia seed flour can lead to higher levels of acrylamide in the final product. This study is ...
Risk assessment of glycoalkaloids in feed and food, in particular in potatoes and potato‐derived products
studies. Occurrence data were available only for α‐solanine and α‐chaconine, mostly for potatoes. The acute dietary exposure to potato GA s was estimated using a probabilistic approach and applying ...
Development of an NGS-Based Workflow for Improved Monitoring of Circulating Plasmids in Support of Risk Assessment of Antimicrobial Resistance Gene Dissemination.
the detection of AMR genes; however, reliable reconstruction of plasmids is still a challenge due to large repetitive regions. This study proposes a workflow to reconstruct plasmids with NGS data in ...
Strain-Level Metagenomic Data Analysis of Enriched In Vitro and In Silico Spiked Food Samples: Paving the Way towards a Culture-Free Foodborne Outbreak Investigation Using STEC as a Case Study.
previously collected during the same outbreak, demonstrating that the metagenomic approach could be applied for the rapid source tracking of foodborne outbreaks. To our knowledge, this is the first study ...
Longitudinal associations between neighbourhood trust, social support and physical activity in adolescents: evidence from the Olympic Regeneration in East London (ORiEL) study
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Nicolas Berger; Daniel Lewis; Matteo Quartagno; Edmund Njeru Njagi; Steven Cummins Source: Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health (2020) Manuscript versions: DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.113 ...
A Practical Method to Implement Strain-Level Metagenomics-Based Foodborne Outbreak Investigation and Source Tracking in Routine.
Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) as a case study. Different DNA extraction kits and enrichment procedures were investigated to obtain the most practical workflow. We demonstrated the feasibility of shotgun ...
An expert opinion assessment of blood-feeding arthropods based on their capacity to transmit African swine fever virus in Metropolitan France.
knowledge on their vectorial competence for ASF is scarce and associated uncertainty on expert elicitation moderate to high, more studies are however requested to investigate the potential vector role of ...
