Pesticides, trace elements and pharmaceuticals in tea samples available in Belgian retail shops and the risk associated upon acute and chronic exposure
residue level (MRL) set by the EU. However, further risk assessment, based on the values of pesticide residues and the toxic trace elements encountered in the brew, demonstrate that the consumption of these ...

Metagenomic Characterization of Multiple Genetically Modified Bacillus Contaminations in Commercial Microbial Fermentation Products
reported in numerous commercial microbial fermentation produce types, leading to several rapid alerts at the European level. The aim of this study was to investigate the added value of shotgun metagenomic ...
Humoral and cellular immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 after third dose BNT162b2 following double-dose vaccination with BNT162b2 versus ChAdOx1 in cancer patients.
heterologous boosted subjects (GMT 1755.90 BAU /mL [95% CI 1276.95-2414.48] vs 1495.82 BAU /mL (95% CI 1131.48-1977.46)). However, homologous boosted subjects show significantly higher NT50 values against BA.1 ...
Poor timing and failure of source control are risk factors for mortality in critically ill patients with secondary peritonitis.
61.3%, p = 0.1). A stepwise increase in mortality was observed with increasing Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores (19.6% for a value ≤ 4-55.4% for a value > 12, p < 0.001). The highest ...

Validity of self-reported data to assess the prevalence of overweight, hypertension and cholesterol
and hypertension can be predicted with a good accuracy (BMI: R2: 87%, HBP: AUC: 86%). A lower accuracy is observed for the cholesterol model (AUC: 65%). Using predicted values instead of SR data yields ...
Bottom-up approach to build a ‘precision’ risk factor classification for diabetic foot ulcer healing. Proof-of-concept
presentation. Predictors of healing were identified using multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression. Multivariable models were built using backward regression with multiple imputation of missing values ...
