Experimental induction of paromomycin resistance in antimony-resistant strains of L. donovani: outcome dependent on in vitro selection protocol Institute of Tropical Medicine
Virulence profiling and disease association of verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 and non-O157 isolates in BelgiumVirulence profiling and disease association of verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 and non-O157 isolates in Belgium Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Whereas the association of verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) O157:H7 with the hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is well established, the medical importance of many non-O157 serotypes remains unclear. Using PCR we have investigated the distribution of the pathogenicity island O island 122 (OI-122) and other virulence genes in VTEC belonging to seropathotypes (SPT) A to D and assessed their association with human disease. Two hundred ...
Treatment of visceral leishmaniasis: model-based analyses on the spread of antimony-resistant L. donovani in Bihar, India Institute of Tropical Medicine
Metabolic profile of sub-Saharan African patients presenting with first-ever-in-lifetime stroke: association with insulin resistance Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND:
To assess the pattern of metabolic profile associated with first stroke episode in a hospital setting in Cameroon.
METHODS:
All patients admitted for first-ever-in-lifetime stroke over a 6-month period were eligible for inclusion in the study. The 84% participation rate yielded 57 of 68 patients between 16 and 85 years of age. Fifty-seven control subjects were selected to match patients included for ...

Water injection in a microgasturbine - Assessment of the performance using a black box method Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Microturbines offer new perspectives in small-scale heat and power production however their profitability depends strongly on the yearly amount of running hours. The non-continuous heat demand often leads to a reduction in running hours. This paper proposes an alternative by recuperating the lost thermal power through the injection of heated water in the microgasturbine. Water injection is considered a successful way to increase power and ...
Monomeric organoantimony(III) sulphide and selenide with terminal Sb-E bond (E = S, Se). Synthesis, structure and theoretical consideration Vrije Universiteit Brussel
NCN chelated monomeric chalcogenides, LSbE (E = S (1), Se (2), L = 2,6-bis[N-(2',6'-dimethylphenyl)ketimino]phenyl), were synthesized and characterized with the help of elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The terminal Sb-E (E = S, Se) bonds in 1 and 2 were subjected to theoretical investigation and the results are compared with the hypothetical molecules, PhSb=E (E = S, Se, Te), and earlier ...
De Yahoo-saga: de keuze tussen nationale opsporingsmethoden en internationale rechtshulpinstrumenten Vrije Universiteit Brussel
olgens het Hof van Cassatie is het bedrijf Yahoo! een elektronische communicatiedienst in de zin van art. 46bis Wetboek van Strafvordering, en kan de Belgische procureur des Konings op grond van dit artikel e-mailgerelateerde gebruikersgegevens vragen aan een buiten het Belgisch grondgebied gevestigde operator van een elektronisch communicatienetwerk of verstrekker van een elektronische communicatiedienst, en dus ook aan Yahoo! in Amerika.
