Double Dutch: detecting bias in observer- and self-sampling surveys of commercial beam-trawl discards in The Netherlands Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
To detect and minimise bias in discard assessments, an evaluation of the representativeness, and thus quality of at-sea sampling was done for two discard monitoring programmes of Dutch commercial beam-trawlers in the North Sea: observer and self-sampling. During independent trips of >300 horsepower vessels between 2009 and 2011, a fraction of approx. 40 or 80 kg discards were retained per sampled trawl by either an observer or crew member ...
Self-sampling as the principal modality for population based cervical screening : five-year follow-up of the PaVDaG study Ghent University
Self-sampling with oral rinse to detect oropharyngeal Neisseria gonorrhoeae among men who have sex with men: results from an exploratory study in Belgium (the SSONG Study) Institute of Tropical Medicine
Objectives We aimed to assess whether a self-collected oral rinse was non-inferior to clinician-collected oropharyngeal swabs to detect Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng) using culture and nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) among men who have sex with men (MSM), and whether Ng may still be detected in oral rinses for a minimum of 5 days after collection.
Methods MSM with a positive Ng result in an oropharyngeal or pooled sample ...

The preference of women living with HIV for the HPV self-sampling of urine at a rural HIV clinic in Uganda University of Antwerp
Background: Women living with HIV have a double risk of acquiring cervical cancer (CC) due to repeated human papilloma virus (HPV) infections resulting from reduced immunity, with CC screening being low at 46.7%. Objectives: To determine the factors associated with the preference for HPV self-sampling using urine as well as establish its feasibility among women living with HIV attending a rural Method: A cross-sectional study design using ...
Evaluation of urine and vaginal self-sampling versus clinician-based sampling for cervical cancer screening University of Antwerp
Self-sampling methods for HPV testing have been demonstrated to be highly sensitive and specific. The implementation of these methods in settings with a lack of infrastructure or medical attention has been shown to increase the coverage of cervical cancer screening and detect cervical abnormalities in the early stages. The aim of this study is to compare the acceptability of urine and vaginal self-sampling methods versus clinician sampling among ...
Role of self-sampling for cervical cancer screening University of Antwerp
Background: HPV primary screening has shown effectiveness for cancer prevention; however, gynaecological examination is considered uncomfortable. Self-sampling methods increase the acceptance of screening. The aim of this study is to compare the sensitivity and specificity of clinician sampling versus vaginal and urine self-sampling for HPV diagnosis. Methods: A diagnostic test study was conducted in a rural parish of Cuenca, Ecuador. A total of ...
Evaluation of cervical cancer screening uptake, HPV genotyping and self-sampling collection techniques in Ethiopia University of Antwerp
Although 20 million women are eligible for cervical screening in Ethiopia, less than 1% of women have been screened. The reasons for the low uptake of cervical cancer (CC) screening may also be due to health beliefs and lack of knowledge regarding the primary risk factors causing cervical cancer; the collection method of the cervical samples as well as the distance to travel in order to reach a health facility which provides cervical cancer ...
Efficacy of strategies to increase participation in cervical cancer screening: GPs offering self-sampling kits for HPV testing versus recommendations to have a pap smear taken - A randomised controlled trial (vol 9, 100194, 2020) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The authors missed few things while publishing their article and now publishing this corrigendum to stand them corrected. 1. Two of the authors H. Cammu and V.
