Effects of tree pollen on throughfall element fluxes in European forests
linear mixed-effects modelling (LME). TF was measured in 1990–2018 during the main pollen season (MPS, arbitrary two months) in 61 managed, mostly pure, even-aged Fagus, Quercus, Pinus, and Picea stands ...
Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
human health. Most of the produced plastics are used for packaging items, from cosmetic to food applications. Up to now, the most common plastics used for packaging have been petroleum-derived, such as ...
Oncolytic Viruses: An Inventory of Shedding Data from Clinical Trials and Elements for the Environmental Risk Assessment.
replication-defective viral vectors commonly used in gene therapy or vaccination. To our knowledge, this article presents the most extensive and up-to-date review of shedding data reported with OV employed in clinics. ...
Occurrence of microcystin congeners in surface waters and food in Belgium as a source of exposure to humans
risk management through concrete policy measures. This doctoral dissertation discusses the development and validation of fit-for-purpose analytical methodologies to quantify the most prevalent cyanotoxin ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
a good alternative to detect and characterize the contaminant, and no enrichment was conducted on these samples, that are considered as non-complex matrices as most of the DNA contamination should belong ...
Comparison of 6 DNA extraction methods for isolation of high yield of high molecular weight DNA suitable for shotgun metagenomics Nanopore sequencing to detect bacteriaAbstractBackgroundResultsConclusion
sequencing, of almost all the bacterial species present in a complex mock community. Conclusion: Amongst the 6 tested methods, the Quick- DNA HMW MagBead Kit (Zymo Research) was considered as the most suitable ...
A qualitative approach to experiential knowledge identified in focus groups aimed at co-designing a provocation test in the study of electrohypersensitivity
experiential knowledge can contribute to biomedical research, by extending it to the most organic aspects of diseases. A few examples of collaboration between medicine and patient associations are promising, ...
Importance of anti-SARS-CoV-2 assay antigenic composition as revealed by the results of the Belgian external quality assessment (EQA) scheme.
CLIA. All tests against S1 / S2 (Liaison, Diasorin) resulted in a signal above cutoff. Assays against RBD, mostly generate a negative result. An exception are the Wantai SARS-CoV-2 ELISA ’s. All tests ...
Variability in the association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and mortality by exposure assessment method and covariate adjustment: A census-based country-wide cohort study
Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS); NUTS-1 (n = 3), or NUTS-3 (n = 43). Results We found no consistent differences between both exposure methods. We observed most robust associations with lung cancer ...
The purity of tattoo inks, screening substances of high concern
observed. Conclusion: Our results show that low-quality tattoo inks are easily available to the European consumer. In line with literature, most infringements were observed with red/brown inks which is not ...
