A citizen-centred approach to public engagement on the ethical, legal and societal issues of health technologies
initiatives following rigid protocols to fit their agenda, limiting the influence of citizens upstream. In reaction to this and as an attempt to disambiguate public engagement from an ethical perspective, we ...
Genetic relatedness of Staphylococcus aureus isolates within food outbreaks by single nucleotide polymorphisms.
aureus strains grown under mimicked food stressing conditions. From the mutation rate, we set a cut-off of 28 SNP s considering 30 days as evolution time based on the average shelf-life of foods ...
Wheezing Episodes in Children Before and After the Onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Brussels.
prevalent in 2021 as compared to 2019 (p < 0.001). The concentration of PM, PM, and O was higher in 2021, as compared to both 2019 and 2020 (p < 0.001) while the concentration of NO and airborne spores ...
Residential tree canopy configuration and mortality in 6 million Swiss adults: a longitudinal study
plays a role in exposure–mortality relationships. As there is limited evidence on this hypothesis, especially longitudinal evidence, we performed a nationwide study to investigate the residential tree ...
Residential tree canopy configuration and mortality in 6 million Swiss adults: a longitudinal study.
with reduced mortality risks. We hypothesise that in addition to tree canopy cover, tree canopy configuration also plays a role in exposure-mortality relationships. As there is limited evidence on this ...

Comparing the applicability of de facto population markers for spatiotemporal trend analysis in wastewater-based epidemiology
potential as population markers. However, their applicability is influenced by sociodemographic factors and thus site-specific. Overall, their value lies in providing complementary information for ...
Development of a shotgun metagenomics workflow for the comprehensive surveillance of biological impurities in vitamin-containing food products
products, such as food supplements, are increasingly consumed and manufactured through microbial fermentation. However, their biological purity remains largely unmonitored. Unexpected biological impurities ...
