A proposal for further developing fatigue-related post COVID-19 health states for burden of disease studies
lived with disability Abstract: Previous efforts to estimate the burden of fatigue-related symptoms due to long COVID have a very high threshold for inclusion of cases, relative to the proposed definition ...
Virological surveillance of influenza in Belgium, season 2019-2020
season of moderate intensity characterized by the co-circulation of A(H1N1)pdm09 and A(H3N2), with the predominance of A(H1N1). The epidemic threshold was crossed at week 4-2020 (January 13 to January 19, ...
Predictors of exceeding emergency under-five mortality thresholds using small-scale survey data from humanitarian settings (1999- 2020): considerations for measles vaccination, malnutrition, and displacement status.
the association between an under-five death rate (U5DR) exceeding this threshold and population status (i.e., internally displaced, refugees or residents), GAM prevalence (proxy for food security), and ...
Identification of Molds with Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry: Performance of the Newly Developed MSI-2 Application in Comparison with the Bruker Filamentous Fungi Database and MSI-1.
63.19% (MSI-1), 38.07% (Bruker with a 1.7 threshold), and 21.8% (Bruker with a 2.0 threshold). The MSI-2 application performed especially well for Aspergillus and Fusarium species, including for many ...
Leveraging of SARS-CoV-2 PCR Cycle Thresholds Values to Forecast COVID-19 Trends.
Niel; Marius Gilbert; Hallin, Marie; Vandenberg, Olivier Source: Front Med (Lausanne), Volume 8 (2021) Abstract: We assessed the usefulness of SARS-CoV-2 RT- PCR cycle thresholds (Ct) values trends ...
Evaluating SARS-CoV-2 spike and nucleocapsid proteins as targets for antibody detection in severe and mild COVID-19 cases using a Luminex bead-based assay.
severe Covid-19 cases developed a clear IgM and IgA response, titers fell below the detection threshold in more than 20 % of mild cases in our bead-based assay. In conclusion, our data supports the use of ...
Position paper on the use of an “estimated acceptable concentration” (EAC) as basis for a control policy's action level for carcinogens unintentionally present in food
substantiated by a quick scoping review of scientific literature and reports. Key findings and conclusions Case-dependent, whether a threshold effect level can be defined or not, the EAC is calculated based on ...
Comparison of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) systems for the identification of moulds in the routine microbiology laboratory.
a threshold of 1.7 (vs. 16.7% (17/102) with a threshold of 2.0, p < 0.05). The VMS performed better than the MLT with a threshold of 1.7 for species (49.0% (50/102), p 0.33) and complex level identifications ...
Development of a dot-blot assay for the detection of mould-specific IgE in the Belgian population
“major sensitization” defined as the strongest response against a single mould species was calculated. Results Intra- and inter-assay variations were both below 20%, and the positivity threshold of the ...
Clinical action measures improve the reliability of feedback on quality of care in diabetes centres: a retrospective cohort study.
Care Reproducibility of Results Retrospective Studies Abstract: BACKGROUND: Assessment of quality of care using classical threshold measures (TM) is open to debate. Measures that take into account the ...
