Implementation of MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry to Identify Fungi From the Indoor Environment as an Added Value to the Classical Morphology-Based Identification Tool
it is necessary to seek for fast and accurate tools, such as Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDITOF MS), enabling an identification to the species level ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
It was proven that whole genome sequencing has a higher resolution than any combination of tests carried out so far. But the isolation is not always possible, and it is time-consuming. A new method ...
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
evaluated the performances of 6 DNA extraction methods using various cells lysis and purification techniques, from quick and easy, to more time-consuming and gentle protocols, including a portable method for ...
Validity of air pollution annoyance to assess long-term exposure to air pollution in Belgium
by air pollution was 2.10 [CI 95% : 1.86-2.67] times higher for each Interquartile range (IQR) increase in NO2 concentration (PM2.5 ; 1.77 [CI 95% : 1.53-2.07], PM10 ; 1.61 (95% CI : 1.33-1.67), ...
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
with age as the underlying time scale and adjusted for various individual and area-level covariates. We further adjusted main models for two different area-levels following the European Nomenclature of ...
Association between temperature and natural mortality in Belgium: Effect modification by individual characteristics and residential environment
a time-stratified case-crossover design and used conditional logistic regression to examine the association between extreme temperatures and overall natural and cause-specific mortality. City-specific estimates were ...
Higher buccal mtDNA content is associated with residential surrounding green in a panel study of primary school children
mitochondria DNA content (mtDNAc) in children. Methods In primary schoolchildren (COGNAC study), between 2012 and 2014, buccal mtDNAc was repeatedly (three times) assessed using qPCR. Surrounding low (<3m), ...
The purity of tattoo inks, screening substances of high concern
risk, with an average concentration of 29 μg/g basic violet 10, basic red 1, 4-chloroaniline, and basic red 9 were detected 8, 7, 4, and 3, times respectively. Counterfeit products with lower quality were ...
Changes in physical activity by context and residential greenness among recent retirees: Longitudinal GPS and accelerometer study.
the follow-up (P for Time*Greenness interaction = 0.04). In conclusion, retirees participating in the intervention increased their MVPA both at home and in active travel, and more so if they lived in ...
Different Effects of a School-Based Physical Activity Intervention on Health-related Quality of Life
associations of time, intervention and student group showed that the effect of the intervention was different between groups. For the KIDSCREEN dimensions physical well-being, psychological well-being, autonomy ...
