Gokken en (online) gokverslaving Ghent University
Online gokverslaving is een nieuw fenomeen. In dit hoofdstuk staan we stil bij gokverslaving in brede zin, maar kijken we ook naar de trends in het denken over gokken en het behandelen van gokproblemen. Gokverslaving heeft de nodige overeenkomsten met andere verslavingen, maar kent ook een aantal eigen kenmerken. Ook staan we stil bij online gokken in het bijzonder: wat zijn hier de ontwikkelingen? Is er een verschil tussen ‘real-life’ gokken en ...
Mepolizumab for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (SYNAPSE) : a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial Ghent University
Host polymorphisms and COVID-19 infection Ghent University
Abstract Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). There is growing evidence that host genetics play an important role in COVID-19 severity. Based on current knowledge about the human protein machinery for SARS-CoV-2 entry, the host innate immune response, and virus-host interactions, the potential effects of human genetic ...
Older adults environmental preferences for transportation cycling. Vrije Universiteit Brussel Ghent University
Introduction: Cycling is a non-polluting and healthy transportation mode for older adults. However, there is limited knowledge about the infrastructural changes necessary to stimulate cycling among older adults (≥65 years). This is particularly true for electric cycling (e-biking), an increasingly popular form of cycling. The current experiment with manipulated photographs examined the environmental preferences for transportation cycling ...
Individual, Social, and Physical Environmental Factors Related to Changes in Walking and Cycling for Transport Among Older Adults : a Longitudinal Study. Vrije Universiteit Brussel Ghent University
To date, no longitudinal studies examined the change in walking and cycling for transport as distinct outcomes over time and investigated the predictors of those changes. Therefore, this present study examined the change in odds of engagement in walking and cycling for transport as distinct outcomes among Belgian older adults over a three-year follow-up period, and examined factors (i.e. socio-demographics, psychosocial, perceived social and ...
Health problems among elite Dutch youth long track speed skaters Vrije Universiteit Brussel
OBJECTIVES: To describe the frequency, type, and severity of health problems in long-track speed skating to inform injury prevention strategies.
METHODS: We prospectively collected weekly health and sport exposure data on 84 highly trained Dutch athletes aged 15-21 years during the 2019/2020 season using the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre questionnaire on Health Problems and the trainers' documentation. We categorised health ...
Diagnostic performance of Mycoplasmopsis bovis antibody ELISA tests on bulk tank milk from dairy herds Ghent University
Background Testing of bulk tank milk (BTM) for Mycoplasmopsis bovis (previously Mycoplasma bovis) antibodies is increasingly popular. However the performance of some commercially available tests is unknown, and cutoff values possibly need to be adjusted in light of the purpose. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of three commercially available M. bovis antibody ELISAs on BTM, and to explore optimal cutoff ...
More than just a scratch : a scoping review on physical and psychological consequences of violence against police Ghent University
Violence against police is a reality for many officers. Despite growing concerns over the rise in violence against police and the serious individual and societal repercussions associated with it, a comprehensive overview of the psychological and physical consequences of verbal and physical violence against police remains elusive. By performing a scoping review (n = 21) of studies and reports identified via database searches (Web of Science and ...
Systematic aggression registration in forensic psychiatric care : a qualitative study on preconditions for successful implementation Ghent University
Available research emphasizes the importance of getting a systematic overview of inpatient aggression in forensic psychiatric care. However, the same research does not focus on how systematic aggression registration should be introduced in clinical practice. To facilitate the use of systematic aggression registration instruments, it is very relevant to gain insight into the perspective of staff members on the introduction of these instruments in ...
