Evaluation of European Pollen Reanalysis
of improvement. The analysis is performed at a few individual stations in different parts of Europe: Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Belgium, and Spain. The reanalysis was built using only assimilation of ...
First European pollen reanalysis for allergenic trees
long-term assessment of pollen abundance in the air is therefore useful for epidemiological studies, to track the biodiversity and ecosystem evolution, and may also help to estimate the species migration ...
Modelling grass pollen load in temperate and Mediterranean European areas based on source spatial distribution
contribution of the most abundant grass species and grassland habitats to airborne grass pollen at a local spatial scale using in situ phenological samplings and remote sensing data. This background allowed us ...
Impact of environmental nitrogen enrichment on birch pollen allergy
representing the nitrogen gradient, was used to determine their allergenicity in pollen-allergic adult patients (n = 60 in total) using ex vivo basophil activation testing (BAT) and specific IgE (sIgE) ...
Holography-based aerobiological monitoring: a 2-year intercomparison campaign versus the standard Hirst method in Brussels, Belgium
prevent and treat respiratory symptoms and reduce the allergy burden, pollen grain concentrations have been continuously monitored using the standard Hirst method with a volumetric spore trap. However, this ...
Metabarcoding and metagenomics techniques in monitoring airborne pollen
Traditionally, pollen concentrations in the air are estimated from analyses based on identification and quantification using optical microscopy. However, the classification of pollen types at the species level ...
Phage-Mediated Digestive Decolonization in a Gut-On-A-Chip Model: A Tale of Gut-Specific Bacterial Prosperity.
intervention. However, previous attempts at such eradication using oral antibiotics or probiotics have led to discouraging results. Phage therapy, the therapeutic use of bacteriophage viruses, might represent ...
Towards a more effective REACH legislation in protecting human health.
data generated using modern science and technology. There is a need for improved assessment process not only before but also after entering the market. Objectivity, transparency, and the follow-up after ...
A systematic review and meta-analysis of human population studies on the association between exposure to toxic environmental chemicals and left ventricular dysfunction (LVD).
included the general adult population, workers, young people, and the elderly. The risk of bias was assessed using the ROBINS-I tool at both study and item levels. RESULTS: The systematic review included 17 ...
The search for the best airborne pollen monitoring locations
Here we explore the network quality (i) and network coverage (ii) of the current five pollen monitoring stations in Belgium. As reference dataset we use the spatio-temporal distributions of daily surface ...
