Physicochemical characterization and genotoxicity assessment of nanomaterials using new approach methodologies
assessment [1,2]. Currently, hazard and risk assessment still heavily relies on conventional animal testing. Use of new approach methodologies (NAM s) can fill certain data gaps and complement the available safety ...
Modelling the cost differential between current and healthy diets according to household education level in Belgium.
estimate the cost differential between current and healthy diets, overall and by household education level. Data from the 2014-2015 and food prices from the 2014 were linked. The was used to model healthy, ...
An interlaboratory proficiency test using metagenomic sequencing as a diagnostic tool for the detection of RNA viruses in swine fecal material.
material and the extracted RNA. While different mNGS workflows for the generation of mNGS data were used in the different laboratories, the bioinformatic analysis was standardized using a metagenomic read ...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in food and beverages: determination by LC-HRMS and occurrence in products from the Belgian market.
analytical method for the quantification of 25 PFAS in food including food for the young population and beverages, and to gather the missing occurrence data for the dietary exposure evaluation for the Belgian ...
Methodology report- Food Consumption Survey
questionnaires and measurements, as well as the organisation of the fieldwork. The document presents the data management, sample characteristics and finishes with information on how the results are presented in ...
The future burden of type 2 diabetes in Belgium: a microsimulation model.
disparities in Belgium until 2030. METHODS: This study utilized a discrete-event transition microsimulation model. A synthetic population was created using 2018 national register data of the Belgian population ...
Towards facilitated interpretation of shotgun metagenomics long-read sequencing data analyzed with KMA for the detection of bacterial pathogens and their antimicrobial resistance genes

Hazard characterization of Alternaria toxins to identify data gaps and improve risk assessment for human health.
in silico modeling predicts further Alternaria toxins as potential estrogenic factors. Recent studies indicate also an immunosuppressive role of AOH and ATX- II; however, no data are available for the ...
Association between adherence to the EAT-Lancet sustainable reference diet and cardiovascular health among European adolescents: the HELENA study.
adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet and cardiovascular health among European adolescents. METHODS: Data from the HELENA study were used. Usual dietary intake was assessed using two 24-h dietary recalls and ...
Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling
adaptive sampling, following whole genome amplification to increase the amount of genetic material to meet sequencing standards. The strain-level data analysis was performed as previously described (Buytaers ...
