Establishing disease models for the Belgian national burden of disease study: challenges and perspectives
contains all cases. This parent node then gives rise to multiple “child nodes”, with the terminal child nodes representing the individual health states. In BeBOD, disease models and severity distributions ...
Implementation of METROFOOD services in the Belgium node
Forum on Research Infrastructures) research infrastructure (RI), METROFOOD- RI, an European distributed- RI aimed at promoting scientific excellence via high-level metrological services in food and ...
Physicochemical characterization and genotoxicity assessment of nanomaterials using new approach methodologies
additive [3]. A detailed physicochemical characterization of the test materials is an essential first step in the risk assessment. It includes measuring the particle size distribution, surface charge, ...
Non-invasive infections are associated with different serotypes than invasive infections, Belgium, 2020 to 2023.
prospectively investigate serotype distribution and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of isolates from patients with NIPD and compare with data on IPD isolates and with a 2007-2008 dataset on NIPD.MethodsBetween ...
Associations of heat with diseases and specific symptoms in Flanders, Belgium: An 8-year retrospective study of general practitioner registration data.
Flanders, Belgium. METHODS: We used eight years (2012-2019) of aggregated data of daily GP visits during the Belgian summer period (May-September). A distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) with time-stratified ...
Replication Characteristics of African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) Genotype I E70 and ASFV Genotype II Belgium 2018/1 in Perivenous Macrophages Using Established Vein Explant Model.
strain-dependent vascular pathology, leading to hemorrhagic fever, is an important pathogen in swine. The pathogenesis of ASFV is determined by the array and spatial distribution of susceptible cells within the ...
Reflections of the NRL: implementation of EN ISO 11133 in food microbiology laboratories
2 (published in 2020) describes the performance testing of confirmation media and reagents. EN ISO 11133:2014 applies to producers such as commercial bodies producing and/or distributing ready-to-use or ...
A validation methodology for size and shape measurement of nanoplastics by transmission electron microscopy
distribution of particles on the grid was achieved for all materials. Material 3060A is polydisperse with particle sizes ranging from 10 nm to 70 nm. Materials 3200A and 3500A are more uniform in size, however, ...
Characterization of functional nanoparticles applied in face masks by STEM-EDX
a statistically relevant size distribution but their sizes range from 5-200 nm and they have a spheroidal shape. Even though only 4 masks were selected for evaluation of incorporated TiO2 particles, TiO2 was ...
Impact of extreme weather events on the occurrence of infectious diseases in Belgium from 2011 to 2021.
were aggregated per Belgian province to obtain weekly average temperatures and rainfall per province and categorized according to the distribution of the variables. Epidemiological data included weekly ...
