Assessment of information as regards the toxicity of fumonisins for pigs, poultry and horses
fumonisins, their modified forms and hidden forms in feed. A no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of 1 mg/kg feed was established for pigs. In poultry a NOAEL of 20 mg/kg feed and in horses a reference ...
Validity of self-reported air pollution annoyance to assess long-term exposure to air pollutants in Belgium
to classify individuals in three levels of exposure was assessed by means of a confusion matrix. Our results suggest a limited validity of self-reported air pollution annoyance as a direct proxy for ...
Predictors of neutralizing antibody response to BNT162b2 vaccination in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.
Comparing anti- RBD Ab levels in allo- HCT recipients and healthy adults, we observed significantly lower anti- RBD Ab levels in allo- HCT recipients at days 21, 28 and 49. Further, 49% of allo- HCT patients ...
