Prostaglandin receptor EP1 and EP2 site in guinea pig bladder urothelium and lamina propria University of Antwerp
Purpose Urothelium has 2 main functions. It is a barrier to urine and has a sensory role. In response to stretch urothelium releases various substances that modulate afferent nerve activity. Recent data on the localization of cyclooxygenase type 1, the enzyme responsible for prostaglandin production, suggests that prostaglandin may have complex local action. Materials and Methods The bladders of 7 guinea pigs were stained for prostaglandin ...
Imaging the adult with simple shunt lesions: position paper from the EACVI and the ESC WG on ACHD. Endorsed by AEPC (Association for European Paediatric and Congenital Cardiology) KU Leuven
In 2018, the position paper 'Imaging the adult with congenital heart disease: a multimodality imaging approach' was published. The paper highlights, in the first part, the different imaging modalities applied in adult congenital heart disease patients. In the second part, these modalities are discussed more detailed for moderate to complex anatomical defects. Because of the length of the paper, simple lesions were not touched on. However, ...
Towards EPC compatible plastic RFID tags KU Leuven
A target application for plastic RFID tags is Electronic Product Coding (EPC). The EPC-specifications set some demanding requirements for RFID tags. In this work, we review the work that has been done to fulfill some of these specifications. We describe a complete 64-bit RFID tag that is inductively-coupled at a base carrier frequency of 13.56 MHz, and transmits data at rates below 1 kb/s. Next, we demonstrate 8-bit RFID transponder chips having ...
The Patentability of Computer Programs in Europe: An Improved Interpretation of Art. 52 (2) and (3) EPC. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
After the introduction we discuss the European Patent Convention (EPC) provisions that are
relevant to the exclusion from patentability of computer programs and the broader relevance
of the fact that the European Patent Office's (EPO's) Enlarged Board of Appeal has recently
been requested by the EPO President to interpret these provisions. Next, we comment on the
relevance of the recent EPC revision, before addressing ...

European guideline on indications, performance and clinical impact of 13C-breath tests in adult and pediatric patients: An EAGEN, ESNM, and ESPGHAN consensus, supported by EPC KU Leuven
INTRODUCTION: 13 C-breath tests are valuable, noninvasive diagnostic tests that can be widely applied for the assessment of gastroenterological symptoms and diseases. Currently, the potential of these tests is compromised by a lack of standardization regarding performance and interpretation among expert centers. METHODS: This consensus-based clinical practice guideline defines the clinical indications, performance, and interpretation of 13 ...
Design and development of sensing RFID tags on flexible foil compatible with EPC Gen 2 Ghent University
Taking advantage of the sensor interface capabilities of a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip, the integration of different types of sensors on printed ultrahigh frequency (UHF) RFID tags is investigated. The design, development, and testing of printed smart sensing tags compatible with the RFID standard electronic product code Gen 2 is presented. Two different strategies are employed to interface the sensors: 1) passive single-chip and ...
