A new data collection system for Epilabo: the network of sentinel laboratories
Background The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of having a robust, digital system for timely data collection of laboratory test results at the national level in the context of surveillance of ...
Do genomic passports leave us more vulnerable or less vulnerable? Perspectives from an online citizen engagement
an online citizen engagement on genomic information usage, including a question on a genomic passport for all. The inductive thematic analysis of participants’ contributions highlighted vulnerability ...
Evaluation of a Liquid Media MALDI-TOF MS Protocol for the Identification of Dermatophytes Isolated from Infections.
for a sub-culturing step. Using different database did not lead to improvement in turnaround time or rate of correct identification. This study highlights the importance of the medium and the reference ...
Understanding sexual transmission dynamics and transmission contexts of monkeypox virus: a mixed-methods study of the early outbreak in Belgium (May-June 2022).
control efforts. CONCLUSION: Our results highlight the role of sexual contact and networks in the transmission of MPX during the early phase of the outbreak in Belgium. Risk communication messages should ...
Accuracy of high-risk HPV DNA PCR, p16(INK4a) immunohistochemistry or the combination of both to diagnose HPV-driven oropharyngeal cancer
These considerations highlight the importance of reliable and accurate markers to diagnose truly HPV-induced OPC. Methods The accuracy of three possible test strategies, i.e. (a) hrHPV DNA PCR (DNA), (b) ...
Optimization of Long-Acting Bronchodilator Dose Ratios Using Isolated Guinea Pig Tracheal Rings for Synergistic Combination Therapy in Asthma and COPD.
