Using random-forest multiple imputation to address bias of self-reported anthropometric measures, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia in the Belgian health interview survey
height, weight, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia and to identify an adequate approach for valid measurement error correction. METHODS: Nine thousand four hundred thirty-nine participants of the 2018 ...
Development of Digital Droplet PCR Targeting the Influenza H3N2 Oseltamivir-Resistant E119V Mutation and Its Performance through the Use of Reverse Genetics Mutants.
a mutation such as E119V- NA is known, highly sensitive PCR-based genotypic assays can be used to identify the prevalence of such mutant influenza viruses in clinical samples. In this study, based on an ...
Implementation of MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry to Identify Fungi From the Indoor Environment as an Added Value to the Classical Morphology-Based Identification Tool
collaboration with Brussels Environment RCIB / CRIPI and identified by both microscopy and MALDI- TOF MS in Sciensano’s Indoor Mycology laboratory. Spectra obtained via MALDI- TOF MS were compared with data ...
Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Humboldt Penguins—Susceptibility Patterns andMolecular Epidemiology of Clinical and Environmental Aspergillus fumigatus Isolates from a Belgian Zoo
Isolates displaying phenotypic resistance against at least one medical azole were systematically screened for mutations in the cyp51A gene. A total of 14 (13.6%) ARAF isolates were identified from the ...
Challenges in Drug Surveillance: Strengthening the Analysis of New Psychoactive Substances by Harmonizing Drug Checking Services in Proficiency Testing.
towards drug checking services, proficiency testing was set up to evaluate existing analytical techniques and investigate the capability to correctly identify circulating NPS. Twenty blind substances, ...
Clinical characteristics and management of neurocysticercosis patients: a retrospective assessment of case reports from Europe.
clinical and radiological information on each case, if available. RESULTS: Out of 293 identified NCC cases, 59% of patients presented initially with epileptic seizures (21% focal onset); 52% presented with ...
Global estimates of incidence and mortality of cervical cancer in 2020: a baseline analysis of the WHO Global Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative.
on cervical cancer elimination. We identified substantial geographical and socioeconomic inequalities in cervical cancer globally, with a clear gradient of increasing rates for countries with lower ...
Identification of Mycobacterium abscessus Subspecies by MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry and Machine Learning.
spectra. Overall, using a random forest model with several confidence criteria (samples by triplicate and similarity values >60%), a total of 96.5% of isolates were correctly identified at the subspecies ...
The global burden of neglected zoonotic diseases: Current state of evidence
state of evidence on neglected zoonotic diseases (NZD s) burden and start a discussion on the current understanding of the global burden of NZD s. We identified 26 priority NZD s through consulting three ...
Acceptability to Healthcare Professionals of Home-Based HPV Self-Sampling for Cervical Screening: A French Qualitative Study Conducted in an Area with Low Access to Health Services
alternative solution (e.g., for women with vaginismus). The health professionals also identified several limitations of the self-sampling kit that will need to be addressed in future screening campaigns ...
