Gender gaps in life expectancy and expected years with activity limitations at age 50 in the European Union: associations with macro-level structural indicators.
countries. Among the EU15, gender differences were positively associated with income inequality, the proportion of the population with a low education and the men’s mean exit age from labour force. Among the ...
Dietary cadmium intake by the Belgian adult population.
from consumption data and median Cd concentrations. The population mean, median and 95th percentile of the dietary intake values were 0.98, 0.85 and 2.02 µg kg⁻¹ body weight per week respectively. Two ...
Development of a foot-and-mouth disease infection model in severe combined immunodeficient mice for the preliminary evaluation of antiviral drugs.
virus-induced morbidity (including respiratory problems and weight loss) with subsequent mortality. Inoculations with strain A₂₂ Iraq resulted in a reproducible mean time of death of 6 dpi (this was shorter for ...
A non-invasive fluorescent staining procedure allows Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy based imaging of Mycobacterium in multispecies biofilms colonizing and degrading polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
with bacteria belonging to other genera by means of Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM), a procedure was developed to non-invasively and fluorescently stain Mycobacterium without compromising the ...
Exophiala (Wangiella) dermatitidis and cystic fibrosis- Prevalence and risk factors36875
(SGCA) medium (Becton-Dickinson) and incubated at 35 degrees C for 2 days and then at ambient temperature (15-25 degrees C) for 3 weeks. The whole study group included 154 patients (mean age +/- SD: 18.5 ...
Estimate of total salt intake in two regions of Belgium through analysis of sodium in 24-h urine samples.
aged 45-65 years in the region of Ghent and Liege. A total of 123 and 157 volunteers from Ghent and Liege, respectively, were included in the study. RESULTS: The mean creatinine level in Flanders (n=114) ...
Multicenter study for defining the breakpoint for rifampin resistance in Neisseria meningitidis by rpoB sequencing36888
gene was sequenced. Sequences differing by at least one nucleotide were defined as unique rpoB alleles. The geometric mean of the MIC s was calculated for isolates displaying the same allele. The ...
New assessment of bovine tuberculosis risk factors in Belgium based on nationwide molecular epidemiology
proximity of an outbreak (P < 0.001), cattle density (P < 0.001), and annual amplitude of mean middle-infrared temperature (P < 0.001). The approach restricted to the predominant SB0162 type strain ...
Monitoring of all-cause mortality in Belgium (Be-MOMO): a new and automated system for the early detection and quantification of the mortality impact of public health events.
2007. Sensitivity, specificity and timeliness are illustrated by means of a temporal comparison with known health events. METHODS: Relevant events are identified from important mortality risks: climate, ...
Estimate of intake of sulfites in the Belgian adult population.
The mean intake of sulfites was 0.34 mg kg(-1) bw day(-1) (Tier 2), corresponding to 49% of the acceptable daily intake (ADI) and 0.19 mg kg(-1) bw day(-1), corresponding to 27% of the ADI (partial Tier ...
