Evaluation of three MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry libraries for the identification of filamentous fungi in three clinical microbiology laboratories in Manitoba, Canada.
used by clinical microbiology laboratories to identify bacterial pathogens and yeasts, but not for the identification of moulds. Recent progress in extraction protocols and the composition of comparative ...
Longitudinal monitoring of Culicoides in Belgium between 2007 and 2011: local variation in population dynamics parameters warrant cautious use of monitoring data.
Avaritia represented 83% of all collected midges. Nevertheless, important differences in species composition were found between sites. Furthermore, statistical differences between sites were found for the ...
Identification of Flavouring Substances of Genotoxic Concern Present in E-Cigarette Refills
genotoxic substances in e-liquid flavours. 77 e-liquids, representative for the different flavour categories, were collected on the Belgian market and screened for their chemical composition using GC- MS. By ...
Allergic Asthma Favors Growth in the Lungs of Infected Mice.
a growing number of people worldwide. The impact of infections and microbiota composition on allergic asthma has been investigated frequently. Until now, however, there have been few attempts to investigate ...
Complete coding sequence of a novel picorna-like virus in a blackbird infected with Usutu virus.
specific for ORF1 confirmed the presence of high levels of this novel virus in the original sample. Nucleotide composition analysis suggests that blackbird arilivirus is of dietary (plant) origin. Health ...
Fat-soluble vitamin intake from the consumption of food, fortified food and supplements: design and methods of the Belgian VITADEK study.
facilitate the recall of the consumed food items and portion pictures were used to facilitate the reproduction of the consumed portion sizes. Finally a composition table was compiled allowing for the ...
Invasion by the Alien Tree Alters Ecosystem Functions in a Temperate Deciduous Forest
litter species composition, and tree species composition. In invaded stands, average respiration rates were 5.6% higher for soil (without litter) and 32% higher for soil and litter combined. Compared to ...
Development and validation of a HS/GC-MS method for the simultaneous analysis of diacetyl and acetylpropionyl in electronic cigarette refills
analytical methods have been published for determining e-liquid compositions, but concerns exist with respect to the lack of analytical evaluation. Hence in this study, a new HS / GC- MS-based method was ...
Sample substitution can be an acceptable data-collection strategy: the case of the Belgian Health Interview Survey.
2707 households (RR hh: 55.5%) participated. For the three successive (matched) substitutes, the RR dropped to 45%. The composition of the net sample resembles the one of the initial samples. Applying ...
