Pollutant exposure and myocardial injury: Protocol and progress report for a toxicological systematic mapping review.
while CVD incidence rises steadily with the aging population. Although numerous experimental studies are now available, the mechanisms through which lifetime exposure to environmental pollutants can ...
Oncolytic Viruses: An Inventory of Shedding Data from Clinical Trials and Elements for the Environmental Risk Assessment.
Besides the identification of a topical need for improving the collection of shedding data, this article aims at providing an aid to the design of an appropriate shedding study, thereby relying on and ...
Novel prediction models for genotoxicity based on biomarker genes in human HepaRG™ cells.
DNA microarray profiles of 24 (non-)genotoxic reference chemicals covering different modes of action in metabolically competent human HepaRG™ cells. In the present study, new prediction models for ...
Occurrence of microcystin congeners in surface waters and food in Belgium as a source of exposure to humans
environmental samples. This has a negative downstream effect on possible risk assessment studies that would establish the exposure and influence of the different cyanotoxins on public health, and on the final ...
Implementation of MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry to Identify Fungi From the Indoor Environment as an Added Value to the Classical Morphology-Based Identification Tool
and guiding general practitioners in their search for the underlying cause of a health problem. Methods: In this study, 149 fungal air and dust isolates from 43 dwellings in Brussels were taken in ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
contaminant present in the sample at once, possibly also at the SNP level. At the time this study started, shotgun metagenomics for the study of food contaminants was in its infancy. Moreover, strain-level ...
Comparison of 6 DNA extraction methods for isolation of high yield of high molecular weight DNA suitable for shotgun metagenomics Nanopore sequencing to detect bacteriaAbstractBackgroundResultsConclusion
level, were specifically designed for this application and need to be assessed. Results: In this study, with different bacterial cocktail mixes, analyzed as pure or spiked in a synthetic fecal matrix, we ...
Simultaneous Detection and Quantification of Aflatoxin M1, Eight Microcystin Congeners and Nodularin in Dairy Milk by LC-MS/MS
188½006. Unfortunately, there is a notable lack of data concerning the transfer of various emerging microbial contaminants into dairy milk and, therefore, their natural occurrences. In this study, a simple ...
Sentinel-2 Satellite and Hysplit Model Show that Local Cereal Harvesting Substantially Contributes to Peak Alternaria Spore Concentrations
from large areas is often a challenge because of insufficient observation stations. The purpose of this study was to examine, using remote sensing and an atmospheric transport and dispersion model, the ...
Quality control and correction method for air temperature data from a citizen science weather station network in Leuven, Belgium
method is able to reduce this bias from 0.15 ± 0.56 to 0.00 ± 0.28 K. After evaluation, the QC method is applied to the data of the Leuven.cool network, making it a very suitable dataset to study local ...
