A validation methodology for size and shape measurement of nanoplastics by transmission electron microscopy
smaller particles, might be at the origin of this discrepancy. We see indeed that for material 3060A, the outcome of the validation study is less robust against variations in image analysis settings. ...
Targeted Whole Genome Sequencing of the Capripoxvirus Genome from Clinical Tissue Samples and Lyophilized Vaccine Batches.
commercial vaccine batches in less than a week. Taking advantage of the genetic similarity of CaPVs, a set of pan-CaPVs long-range PCR s was developed that covers the entire genome with only a limited number ...
Antimicrobial resistance in ESBL and indicator E. coli, Campylobacter spp.,Salmonella spp., methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Enterococcus faecalis and faecium isolated from food and food-producing animals (primary production) in 2023
decreased resistance to most antibiotics was detected in food-producing animals: in broilers, veal calves of less than one year and fattening pigs sampled at the slaughterhouse as well as in laying hens, ...
Sociodemographic inequalities in smoking cessation: a population survey from Flanders, Belgium
cessation aids (15.3%). Conclusions: Low educated daily smokers are less likely to quit smoking. Former smokers limitedly use cessation aids to quit smoking and the use varies regarding one’s sociodemographic ...
Individual, interpersonal, and organisational factors associated with discrimination in medical decisions affecting people with a migration background with mental health problems: the case of general practice
less severe (F = 7.68, p < 0.01) and demonstrated a reduced likelihood to prescribe a combination of medical and non-medical treatments (F = 11.55, p < 0.001). Those differences increased in ...
Genomic comparison between and and analysis of peptide-based biomarkers for serodiagnosis.
to be potential antigens. As synthetic peptides are less costly and variable than recombinant proteins, an approach was performed to identify linear and discontinuous B-cell epitopes in the selected ...
Lifestyle predictors of colorectal cancer in European populations: a systematic review
smoking (each present in 13 models), followed by alcohol (11), and physical activity (7), while diet-related factors were less considered with the most commonly present meat (9), vegetables (5) or dairy ...
Evaluation of European Pollen Reanalysis
same region. The birch timeseries are less sensitive to this feature because different taxa almost always have close flowering periods. Season start and end. These are the parameters practically not ...
Antimicrobial Use in Belgian Acute Care Hospitals: Results of the 2022 ECDC Point Prevalence Survey
Conclusion: The 2022 PPS reveals an increased AU prevalence (+1.2%) in Belgian acute care hospitals, especially in patients over 65 years of age (+1.5%). This increase was less pronounced in younger patients ...
Disparities in COVID-19 Vaccination in Belgium
indicators. Indeed, it was seen at the individual level that persons with lower household incomes, a migration background, and/or belonging to a household with only one adult were less likely to be vaccinated, ...
