Insights into the association of ACEIs/ARBs use and COVID-19 prognosis: a multistate modelling study of nationwide hospital surveillance data from Belgium.
the potential exacerbation of COVID-19 severity and fatality. Previous studies addressing this question have used standard methods that may lead to biased estimates when analysing hospital data because ...
In utero exposure to parabens and early childhood BMI z-scores- Associations between placental ethyl paraben, longitudinal BMI trajectories and cord blood metabolic biomarkers.
utero paraben exposure on early childhood trajectories of BMI z-scores. METHODS: Placental concentrations of four parabens [methyl (MeP), ethyl (EtP), propyl (PrP), and butyl (BuP)] were measured by ...
The Isolation of Culturable Bacteria in Ticks of a Belgian Peri-Urban Forest Uncovers Opportunistic Bacteria Potentially Important for Public Health.
collections and analyses of ticks of different species, from various areas and using other bacterial identification methods would strengthen these results. However, they highlight the importance of ticks as ...
