Residing in urban areas with higher green space is associated with lower mortality risk: A census-based cohort study with ten years of follow-up
rates of non-accidental and respiratory mortality. In fully adjusted models, hazard ratios (HR) per interquartile range (IQR) increase in NDVI 500 m buffer (IQR: 0.24) and UA 500 m buffer (IQR: 0.31) were ...
A randomized, multicentre, open-label phase II proof-of-concept trial investigating the clinical efficacy and safety of the addition of convalescent plasma to the standard of care in patients hospitalized with COVID-19: the DAWn-Plasma trial.
absence of an alternative diagnosis. Patients are randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either standard of care and convalescent plasma (active treatment group) or standard of care only. The active treatment group ...
Low-dose hydroxychloroquine therapy and mortality in hospitalised patients with COVID-19: a nationwide observational study of 8075 participants
group [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 0.684, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.617–0.758]. Compared with the no- HCQ group, mortality in the HCQ group was reduced both in patients diagnosed ≤5 days (n = 3975) ...
Increased surface area of halloysite nanotubes due to surface modification predicts lung inflammation and acute phase response after pulmonary exposure in mice
Assay Halloysite nanotubes High aspect ratio nanomaterial (HARN) Abstract: The toxicological potential of halloysite nanotubes (HNT s) and variants after functional alterations to surface area are not ...
Residential green space and seasonal distress in a cohort of tree pollen allergy patients
(1.4–1.7)]. Residential green space had protective effects against short-term distress [high green, per combined surface area of 10 ha: adjusted odds ratio OR = 0.94 (95% confidence interval 0.90–0.99); low ...
Food groups and risk of coronary heart disease, stroke and heart failure: A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective studies
Summary risk ratios (RR s) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated using a random effects model for highest versus lowest intake categories, as well as for linear and non-linear relationships. ...
Predictors of nursing-home entry for elders in Belgium
period, 169 out of 1,927 individuals entered in NH (56% males, mean age = 74.70.25). Significant predictors of NHE were older age (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.40, CI = 1.23-4.67 and HR = 6.19, 95% CI = 2.75- ...
Thyroid cancer incidence near nuclear sites in Belgium: An ecological study at small geographical level
living in the vicinity of the four nuclear sites at the smallest Belgian geographical level. Rate ratios were obtained from a Bayesian hierarchical model for areas of varying sizes around the nuclear ...
A systematic evaluation of Flow Field Flow Fractionation and single-particle ICP-MS to obtain the size distribution of organo-mineral iron oxyhydroxide colloids.
fractions. Particles formed from Fe(II) oxidation in the presence of NOM showed strikingly smaller organo-mineral Fe-Ox colloids as the NOM /Fe ratio increased. The soil solution obtained with centrifugation ...
Neonatal factors predictive for respiratory and gastro-intestinal morbidity after esophageal atresia repair
regression was used to assess risk factors for different evolutions of complication. Model parameter estimates were used to calculate odds ratios for significant risk factors. Results Fifty-seven patients ...
