Don’t get lost in the crowd: Graph convolutional network for online animal tracking in dense groups KU Leuven
Tracking the behaviour of animals in group-housed situations is a critical area of study for precision livestock farming, but it poses challenges in diverse and crowded environments. Existing methods often struggle with false positives and false negatives due to the complexities of these scenarios. In this study, we propose a robust computer vision algorithm for long-term (>10mins) animal tracking, with a primary focus on group-housed pigs. ...
EULAR recommendations for the use of imaging in large vessel vasculitis in clinical practice: 2023 update KU Leuven
OBJECTIVES: To update the EULAR recommendations for the use of imaging modalities in primary large vessel vasculitis (LVV). METHODS: A systematic literature review update was performed to retrieve new evidence on ultrasound, MRI, CT and [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) for diagnosis, monitoring and outcome prediction in LVV. The task force consisted of 24 physicians, health professionals and patients from 14 ...
A Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8-Coated Coupled Resonant Gas Sensor KU Leuven
The fast development of society and technology drive great demand for monitoring personal well-being and health issues as well as a better control of everything in our environment.These trends require the development of ever more sensitive, compact and energy efficient sensor systems preferentially sensitive to multiple environmental parameters. Among many kinds of sensors, gas sensor has attracted a great deal of attention due to its wide ...
Synthese en toepassing van probes voor serine en cysteine hydrolasen en het polyamine transport systeem KU Leuven
Activity-based probes (ABPs) are small molecular tools that allow the detection and monitoring of enzyme activity by covalently binding onto the active site of the enzyme. They consist of a warhead that binds the enzyme, a recognition element that alters the selectivity of the probe and a detection tag that allows the visualization, quantification or purification of probe-labeled enzymes. ABPs are applied to elucidate enzyme function, enzyme ...
A Systematic Review of Location Aware Schemes in the Internet of Things KU Leuven
The rapid development in wireless technologies is positioning the Internet of Things (IoT) as an essential part of our daily lives. Localization is one of the most attractive applications related to IoT. In the past few years, localization has been gaining attention because of its applicability in safety, health monitoring, environment monitoring, and security. As a result, various localization-based wireless frameworks are being presented to ...
Perspectives of nurses’ role in interprofessional pharmaceutical care across 14 European countries University of Antwerp
Objectives To understand healthcare professionals’ experiences and perceptions of nurses’ potential or ideal roles in pharmaceutical care (PC). Design Qualitative study conducted through semi-structured in-depth interviews. Setting Between December 2018 and October 2019, interviews were conducted with healthcare professionals of 14 European countries in four healthcare settings: hospitals, community care, mental health and long-term residential ...
Management of acute pain in the postoperative setting: the importance of quality indicators KU Leuven
Despite the introduction of evidence-based recommendations for postoperative pain management (POPM), the consensus is that pain control remains suboptimal. Barriers to achieving patient-satisfactory analgesia include deficient knowledge regarding POPM among staff, lack of instructions, insufficient pain assessments and sub-optimal treatment. Effective monitoring of POPM is essential to enable policy makers and healthcare providers to improve the ...
Medication screening by the community pharmacist in Belgium Vrije Universiteit Brussel
About 20% of the European population is older than 65 years. Because of multimorbidity (i.e. multiple chronic condition within a patient), older patients are often prescribed multiple drugs [i.e. polypharmacy). Both older age and polypharmacy significantly increase the risk for adverse drug events. International research showed that more or less 5% of all unplanned hospital admissions is related to the use of medication. About 70% of these ...
Firefly based distributed synchronization in wireless sensor networks for passive acoustic localization University of Antwerp
Passive acoustic localization is an important technique in a wide variety of monitoring applications, ranging from healthcare over biological survey to structural health monitoring of buildings. If the subject of interest emits a recognizable sound and is picked up by a distributed array of microphones it is possible to measure the difference in arrival times and reconstruct the source positions. This requires the microphones to be synchronized ...
