How to prevent dog bite injuries?: the Blue Dog Ghent University
Dog bite prevention in children: the Blue Dog project Ghent University
Dog walk encounters: Openings between unacquainted persons walking their dog in public place KU Leuven
As part of the SNF/FWO project The first five words: Multilingual cities in Switzerland and Belgium and the grammar of language choice in public space, directed by Prof. Lorenza Mondada and Prof. Elwys De Stefani, my thesis studies chance encounters of unacquainted people walking their dogs in public space. I am interested in the openings of these encounters, which can be very diverse: some are just "fleeting moments of co-presence" (Ryave & ...
Reproducibility of FDG PET based metabolic tumor volume measurements and of their FDG distribution within KU Leuven
AIM: The aim of this study was to report on the reproducibility of F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET MTV (metabolic tumor volume) 40% and MTV2.5, as well as on the intratumor reproducibility in patients, predominantly suffering from lung cancer and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). METHODS: Nineteen patients (14 men) who underwent a baseline staging FDG PET-CT examination and a second radiotherapy treatment planning FDG ...
Dog mitochondrial genome sequencing to enhance dog mtDNA discrimination power in forensic casework University of Antwerp
A Belgian dog population sample and several population studies worldwide have confirmed that only a limited number of mtDNA control region haplotypes is observed in the majority of dogs. The high population frequency of these haplotypes negatively impacts both the exclusion probability of dog mtDNA analysis and the evidential value of a match with one of these haplotypes in casework. Variation within the mtDNA coding region was explored to ...
The Blue Dog Project: the development of a dog bite prevention programme aimed at young children Ghent University
Dog bite injuries represent a serious health issue. A Belgian study indicated that every year 1% of the population suffers a dog bite requiring medical attention. Children are twice at risk than adults and severe injuries (neck and face) occur most frequently in young children. This age group usually gets bitten in their own home and by a dog that is familiar to them. Following a substantial bite, 55% of children suffer from post-traumatic ...
