Implementation of MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry to Identify Fungi From the Indoor Environment as an Added Value to the Classical Morphology-Based Identification Tool
molds is generally performed by microscopy. This method has, however, some limitations as it requires mycologists with high expertise while identification is often limited to the genus level. Therefore, ...
In Silico Methods for Chromosome Damage.
results for coumarin are presented in more detail as a case study. Overall, it can be concluded that although they are in general less developed than those for mutagenicity, in silico tools for chromosome ...
Variability in the association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and mortality by exposure assessment method and covariate adjustment: A census-based country-wide cohort study
cardiovascular disease mortality were generally null in main models but were enhanced after further adjustment for NUTS-1 or NUTS-3. HR s for non-accidental mortality per 5 μg/m3 increase for PM2.5 for the main ...
Air pollution in association with mental and self-rated health and the mediating effect of physical activity
suboptimal vitality, suicidal ideation, and depressive and generalized anxiety disorder and self-rated health. Annual exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter ≤ 2.5 µm (PM2.5) and black carbon ...
Residential Exposure to Urban Trees and Medication Sales for Mood Disorders and Cardiovascular Disease in Brussels, Belgium: An Ecological Study
calculated from reimbursement information on medication prescribed to adults (19–64 years of age). The medication sales data were provided by sex at the census tract level. Generalized log-linear models were ...
Association between urban environment and mental health in Brussels, Belgium
Abstract: Background: Mental health disorders appear as a growing problem in urban areas. While common mental health disorders are generally linked to demographic and socioeconomic factors, little is known ...
Heat related mortality in the two largest Belgian urban areas: A time series analysis
relationship between daily temperature and mortality above the threshold was investigated using a generalized estimated equation with Poisson distribution to finally determine the percentage of deaths ...
Use of Whole Genome Sequencing Data for a First in Silico Specificity Evaluation of the RT-qPCR Assays Used for SARS-CoV-2 Detection.
human reference genome and 2624 closely related other respiratory viral genomes. The specificity of the assays was generally good and stable over time. An exception is the first method developed by the ...
Thyroid cancer incidence near nuclear sites in Belgium: An ecological study at small geographical level
sites. Focused hypothesis tests and generalized additive models were performed to test the hypothesis of a gradient in thyroid cancer incidence with increasing levels of surrogate exposures. No evidence ...
A systematic evaluation of Flow Field Flow Fractionation and single-particle ICP-MS to obtain the size distribution of organo-mineral iron oxyhydroxide colloids.
particles detected with sp- ICP- MS and TEM. Conventional fractionation by centrifugation and dialysis generally yielded similar fractions as FlFFF but membrane filtration overestimated the large size ...
