Excess mortality during the first and second waves of the COVID-19 epidemic in Belgium
deaths. The first wave of the epidemic has a larger excess mortality than the second wave. People aged 85 and over were the most affected during the two periods of excess mortality. The year 2020 has ...
Selenium content of Belgian cultivated soils and its uptake by field crops and vegetables.
multiple regressions were applied to determine relations between Se concentrations in crops and soil characteristics. Among field crops, wheat is the most important accumulator of selenium but the ...
Sick leave due to back pain in a cohort of young workers.
Furthermore, most available studies focused on workers with substantial low back disorders. These studies consistently report that physical work factors constitute a hindrance to work. However, it remains ...
Identification of the Trichophyton mentagrophytes complex species using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.
are fungi capable of invading keratinized tissues and are responsible for the most common fungal infection worldwide: dermatophytosis. Identification of these organisms to the species level is often ...
Revealing the identification power of CCS: A novel approach applied to pesticide analysis in food
screening purposes. Full scan acquisition has however driven most of the attention because of its inherent benefit of theoretical detection of unlimited number of compounds. In spite of this analytical ...
Field evaluation of willow under short rotation coppice for phytomanagement of metal-polluted agricultural soils.
Cd and Zn removal can be increased by 40% if leaves are harvested as well. Nevertheless, nowadays the wood price remains the most critical factor in order to implement SRC as an acceptable, ...
Scientific opinion on the risk for public health related to the presence of mercury and methylmercury in food
TWI for all age groups. High fish consumers, which might include pregnant women, may exceed the TWI by up to approximately six-fold. Unborn children constitute the most vulnerable group. Biomonitoring ...
Molecular detection and genotyping of noroviruses
molecular detection and genotyping of NoVs. The most conserved region in the genome of human infective NoVs is the ORF1 / ORF2 junction and has been used as a preferred target region for molecular detection ...
Scientific opinion on emerging and novel brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in food
being most relevant to provide insight into the possibility that emerging or novel BFR s might accumulate in the food chain, and thus might appear in food intended for human consumption. The modelling ...
Molecular typing and antifungal susceptibility of Exophiala isolates from patients with cystic fibrosis.
susceptibility of studied isolates to antifungals but most of them exhibited low susceptibility to amphotericin B and although some patients were successively colonized by two distinct genotypes, most of the ...
