Maximal lateral ligament strain and loading during functional activities: Model-based insights for ankle sprain prevention and rehabilitation KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Although it is generally accepted that sports activities present a high risk of lateral ligament injury, the extent to which ligaments are loaded during functional activities is less explored. This is relevant when considering ankle sprain prevention and staged rehabilitation following ligament sprain or reinforcing surgery. Therefore, anterior talofibular ligament, calcaneofibular ligament and posterior talofibular ligament strain ...
Influence of strain origin on osmoregulatory and endocrine parameters of two non-native strains of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) KU Leuven
Non-native strains of Atlantic salmon are used in reinstatement trials where populations are extinct. Environmental cues like photoperiod and temperature are known to influence the smolting process and there is evidence of strain-, stock- or population-specific differences associated with seaward migration or smoltification. The objective of this study was to compare morphological, osmoregulatory and endorcrine features between two strains, one ...
Study of the potential of (non-)bakery Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains in bread making and of a yeast strain specific fermentation inhibiting protein in wheat KU Leuven
The production of tasty leavened bread is almost inseparably linked to the presence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. The main function of yeast during the fermentation phase is the production of CO2, resulting in dough leavening. Besides CO2, the yeast's fermentation metabolism also results in the release of ethanol and other minor constituents, such as glycerol, organic acids and flavor components. These metabolites are known to have a major ...
Complete genomic analysis of a Bangladeshi G1P[8] rotavirus strain detected in 2003 reveals a close evolutionary relationship with contemporary human Wa-like strains KU Leuven
More than 120 variants of rotavirus strains with different VP7 (G type) and VP4 (P type) combinations are reported thus far. Among them Wa-like G1P[8] rotaviruses are the most common human strains worldwide. However, characterization of their entire genome complement is limited to a few old prototype strains, and no complete genome data for any G1P[8] strain isolated in the last decade are available. Both the currently licensed rotavirus ...
Variability in growth/no growth boundaries of 188 different Escherichia coli strains reveals that approximately 75 % have a higher growth probability under low pH conditions than E. coli O157:H7 strain ATCC 43888 KU Leuven
This study investigated the variation in growth/no growth boundaries of 188 Escherichia coli strains. Experiments were conducted in Luria–Bertani media under 36 combinations of lactic acid (LA) (0 and 25 mM), pH (3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 for 0 mM LA and 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8 for 25 mM LA) and temperature (20, 25 and 30 °C). After 3 days of incubation, growth was monitored through optical density measurements. For each strain, a ...
