the lowest for both boosters in the 18-24 age group (69.86% and 17.85%). Individuals who had previous infections were significantly less likely to receive the first booster dose compared to individuals ...
HPV-based Cervical Cancer Screening on Self-samples in the Netherlands: Challenges to Reach Women and Test Performance Questions.
self-sampling (16% in 2020). HPV positivity and detection rate of precancer (CIN3 +) were lower in the self-sampling compared with the clinician-sampling group (adjusted OR s of 0.65 and 0.86, respectively). ...

Evaluation of a Liquid Media MALDI-TOF MS Protocol for the Identification of Dermatophytes Isolated from Infections.
of 62% correct identification (RCI) was obtained, compared with 87% for the protocol based on solid cultures. Trichophyton tonsurans was not correctly identified in all isolates using liquid cultures, ...
Humoral and cellular immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 after third dose BNT162b2 following double-dose vaccination with BNT162b2 versus ChAdOx1 in cancer patients.
comparable to that in healthy individuals. Recent studies demonstrated that a third vaccination dose boosts these immune responses, both in healthy people and cancer patients. Due to the availability of many ...
Poor timing and failure of source control are risk factors for mortality in critically ill patients with secondary peritonitis.
7 (OR 5.71 [3.99-8.18]). Compared with ‘emergency’ source control intervention (< 2 h of diagnosis), ‘urgent’ source control was the only modifiable covariate associated with lower odds of mortality ...
Sex difference in innate inflammatory response and macrophage polarization in Streptococcus agalactiae-induced pneumonia and potential role of microRNA-223-3p.
biological sex is a risk factor in the incidence and severity of infection-induced inflammatory diseases, the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. In this study, we compared the innate ...
Genomic epidemiology of persistently circulating MDR Shigella sonnei strains associated with men who have sex with men (MSM) in Belgium (2013–19)
both. Men were at higher risk of carrying a double resistant S. sonnei strain, compared with women (risk ratio = 8.6, 95% CI = 5.4-13.9). Phylogenetic analysis revealed four independent Belgian clusters ...
