Identification and characterization of inorganic food additives and pearlescent pigments in sprays for food decoration by STEM-EDX
products and domestic cooking to enhance the appearance of food. To obtain specific hues, inorganic food additives containing (nano)particles are mixed in varying concentrations, and pearlescent pigments ...
HPV testing in Polish population-based cervical cancer screening programme (HIPPO project)-study protocol of a randomised healthcare policy trial.
intervals. The European Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Cervical Cancer Screening recommend pilot evaluation of a new screening test in country-specific conditions before its implementation. METHODS: The ...
Accuracy of HPV E6/E7 oncoprotein tests to detect high-grade cervical lesions: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis.
absolute and relative accuracy. RESULTS: Twenty-two studies were included. Sensitivity and specificity estimates ranged from 54.2% (95% CI: 45.2-63.0) to 69.5% (95% CI:60.8-76.9) and from 82.8% (95% CI: ...
Linking health survey data with health insurance data: methodology, challenges, opportunities and recommendations for public health research. An experience from the HISlink project in Belgium
aspects of HIS link are specific to the Belgian context, we believe that some lessons learned are useful in an international context, especially for other European Union member states that collect ...
The phage-encoded PIT4 protein affects multiple two-component systems of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
urgently needed to develop alternative therapies. One path explored in this article is the use of bacteriophages and, more specifically, phage-derived proteins. In this study, a phage-derived protein was ...
The overweight epidemic increasingly hits children of lower educated parents in Belgium
Since the BMI (kg/m²) in children is instable, age/sex-specific cutoff points are used to estimate the weighted prevalence (95% confidence interval) of self-reported overweight (including obesity), by SES ...

Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
a diameter smaller 1 µm, called nanoplastics (NP s) that could be found in food matrices and environmental samples, by means of specific measurement techniques. Therefore, the aim of this work is to develop ...
