Staphylococcal enterotoxin gene cluster: prediction of enterotoxin (SEG and SEI) production and of the source of food poisoning based on Saβ typing.
enterotoxins have been described as likely being involved in staphylococcal food poisoning outbreaks.The aim of the present study was to determine if whole genome data can be used for the prediction of ...
Does arsenic pose a health concern after consumption of clay products?
Bioaccessibility of As, determined via the Unified Barge Method (extraction making use of digestive enzymes) varied between 8% and 51%. The As concentration determined via HPLC- ICP- MS after extraction with diluted ...
Food insecurity and its association with changes in nutritional habits among adults during the COVID-19 confinement measures in Belgium.
health surveys were conducted during March-May 2020. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to determine associations between self-reported changes in fruit, vegetable, soft drink and sweet and ...
Diagnosis, prevention and control of urinary tract infections: a survey of routine practices in Belgian nursing homes
are crucial as overuse of antibiotics can lead to a variety of negative consequences including the development of multidrug-resistant organisms. Objective: To determine infection prevention and control ...
The effect of a shelf placement intervention on sales of healthier and less healthy breakfast cereals in supermarkets: A co-designed pilot study.
shelf placement as a strategy (265, 88%) but noted brand preferences and price were more salient determinants of purchases. Retailers were similarly supportive but balancing profit, health/nutrition and ...
The potential impact of an implemented income redistribution package on obesity prevalence in New Zealand.
determine how income redistribution might affect obesity prevalence. FINDINGS: Absolute individual disposable income was significantly associated with obesity in NZ females (but not males) in a shallow, ...
Efficient control of Japanese encephalitis virus in the central nervous system of infected pigs occurs in the absence of a pronounced inflammatory immune response.
3 Nakayama strain. Clinical signs were assessed daily, and viral spread was followed by RT-qPCR. mRNA expression profiles were determined to study immune responses in the CNS. RESULTS: Besides a delay of ...
Physico-chemical characterisation of the fraction of silver (nano)particles in pristine food additive E174 and in E174-containing confectionery.
dimension, assessed as minimal Feret diameter, of the fraction of (nano)particles determined by quantitative TEM analysis was 11 ± 4 nm and 18 ± 7 nm (overall mean ± standard deviation), for food additives and ...
New QSAR models to predict chromosome damaging potential based on the in vivo micronucleus test
methods to determine the potential of chemicals to induce mutations at the gene level has been developed over the last decades. Conversely, only few such methods are currently available to predict potential ...
Heat related mortality in the two largest Belgian urban areas: A time series analysis
until 2011 taking into account the effect of air pollution. Methods The threshold in temperature above which mortality increases was determined using segmented regressions for both urban areas. The ...
