Clinical performance of the novel full-genotyping OncoPredict HPV Quantitative Typing assay using the VALGENT framework.
multiplex real-time PCR quantitative assay targeting E6 / E7 genes, allowing individual viral load determination of 12 high-risk (HR) HPV types. Quality controls for sample adequacy, efficiency of nucleic ...
The overweight epidemic increasingly hits children of lower educated parents in Belgium
difference between the low and the high educated increased significantly since 2008. Conclusion Two decades of HIS have shown that the SES is becoming an even more important risk factor for overweight among ...

(2022) Keywords: COVID-19 long-term care facilities Abstract: In April 2020, Belgium experienced high numbers of fatal COVID-19 cases among nursing home (NH) residents. In response, a mass testing campaign ...
Wastewater monitoring can anchor global disease surveillance systems
monitored predominantly urban populations. In high-income countries (HIC s), composite sampling at centralised treatment plants was most common, whereas grab sampling from surface waters, open drains, and pit ...
Humoral and cellular immune correlates of protection against COVID-19 in kidney transplant recipients.
Transplantation Prospective Studies SARS-CoV-2 Transplant Recipients Vaccination Abstract: As solid organ transplant recipients are at high risk of severe COVID-19 and respond poorly to primary SARS-CoV-2 mRNA ...
Evaluation of the clinical performance of OncoPredict HPV® SCR assay within the VALGENT‐2 framework
assay targeting E6 / E7 genes of 13 high-risk (hr) HPV s. OncoPredict HPV ® SCR (index assay) identifies HPV-16 and HPV-18 separately, 11 other hrHPV in aggregate and includes quality controls for sample ...
Inequalities in mortality associated with housing conditions in Belgium between 1991 and 2020
for the most and least deprived deciles by about 3.5 years. The gap in life expectancy between the two deciles remained high, on average 4.6 years. Life expectancy in Belgium would increase by ...
Continued Circulation of Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Variants and Detection of Novel Transmission Foci, the Netherlands.
locations considered to be at high risk for TBEV circulation. We found TBEV RNA in 3 rodents (0.9%) and 7 tick pools (minimum infection rate 0.02%) from 5 geographically distinct foci. Phylogenetic analyses ...
