NGS for (Hemato-) Oncology in Belgium: Evaluation of Laboratory Performance and Feasibility of a National External Quality Assessment Program
assessment; cancer Abstract: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is being integrated into routine clinical practice in the field of (hemato-) oncology to search for variants with diagnostic, prognostic, or ...
Selection of a Noninvasive Source of Human DNA Envisaging Genotyping Assays in Epidemiological Studies: Urine or Saliva?
Genomic DNA was extracted using commercial kits. Quantitative and qualitative evaluation was done by assessing the yield, the purity, and integrity of the extracted DNA. As a proof-of-concept, genotyping ...
Dietary exposure of the Belgian population to mineral oil
and therefore they need to be assessed separately. For Belgium, occurrence data are available comprising concentrations of 217 food samples. These data were used, in combination with the 2014/15 Belgian ...
Scientific opinion on the proposed amendment of the EU specifications for titanium dioxide (E 171) with respect to the inclusion of additional parameters related to its particle size distribution
assessments on E 171 remain valid. The Panel reiterates the need for the further research as recommended in the previous opinions in order to decrease the level of uncertainty and acknowledged that additional ...
Detailed Evaluation of Data Analysis Tools for Subtyping of Bacterial Isolates Based on Whole Genome Sequencing: as a Proof of Concept.
differences between them are not always well described. Moreover, methodologies for comparison of subtyping workflows, and assessment of their performance are only beginning to emerge. Current work focuses on ...
Migration of mineral oil from cardboard packaging for food: Identification of the hazards and assessment of the exposure of the Belgian population
the threshold for MOSH, while the threshold for MOAH was exceeded in 23 samples. For the samples exceeding the action threshold, further investigation is needed to identify the contamination source. ...
DETERMINATION OF ALLERGENIC FRAGRANCE INGREDIENTS IN FEMININE ABSORBENT HYGIENE PRODUCTS AND LUBRICANTS
a real-life exposure scenario to gain a better understanding of the leaching of these fragrances. At last, a risk assessment was made using the estimated exposure and the toxicological data available. Method: ...
Systemic antifungal drug use in Belgium-One of the biggest antifungal consumers in Europe.
on a national level are scarce although of high interest to compare trends and the associated epidemiology in other countries and to assess the need for antifungal stewardship programmes. OBJECTIVES: ...
Neonatal factors predictive for respiratory and gastro-intestinal morbidity after esophageal atresia repair
requiring dilatations, need for tube feeding for >100 days, severe tracheomalacia, severe chronic respiratory disease and death. We used linear models with a binomial distribution to determine risk factors ...
A simple dilute-and-shoot method for screening and simultaneous quantification of nicotine and alkaloid impurities in electronic cigarette refills (e-liquids) by UHPLC-DAD
and impurity levels, the majority of them use a targeted LC- MS / MS approach. There is, however, a need for more robust quantification methods that are easy to implement in most control (industrial and ...
