Computed tomography-based radiomics for the differential diagnosis of pneumonitis in stage IV non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors KU Leuven
INTRODUCTION: Immunotherapy-induced pneumonitis (IIP) is a serious side-effect which requires accurate diagnosis and management with high-dose corticosteroids. The differential diagnosis between IIP and other types of pneumonitis (OTP) remains challenging due to similar radiological patterns. This study was aimed to develop a prediction model to differentiate IIP from OTP in patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who developed ...
Effect of hydrogen on nanoindentation behavior of heat treated selective laser melted 316L stainless steel Ghent University
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is an increasingly advantageous Additive Manufacturing (AM) technique for fabricating intricate components with potential applications in hydrogen storage and transport. Austenitic stainless steels (ASS) produced via SLM exhibit enhanced mechanical properties when compared to their conventionally manufactured (CM) counterparts. Nevertheless, the response of ASS to hydrogen exposure remains uncertain and requires ...
Effect of Deep Cold Rolling on Residual Stress Distributions Between the Treated and Untreated Regions on Ti-6Al-4V Alloy KU Leuven
© Copyright 2016 by Rolls-Royce plc. The residual stress distributions caused by the deep cold rolling (DCR) process, with a focus on the distributions at the boundary of the treatment zone, are examined in this study. A three-dimensional finite-element (FE) model, validated with experimental residual stress data, is used to study the effect of the process. The residual stress distribution in the crosswise direction (perpendicular to rolling ...
Bending properties of locally laser heat treated AA2024-T3 aluminium alloy KU Leuven
The bending properties of AA2024-T3 aluminium alloy after localized laser assisted softening have been studied and compared to untreated material. Single and multi-path laser scanning strategies are applied for achieving a predictable and minimized springback. Process parameters for softening have been chosen based on FE modeling. In order to investigate the softening, and to characterize the size of this softened region, hardness measurements ...
Long-lasting insecticide net ownership, access and use in Southwest Ethiopia : a community-based cross-sectional study Ghent University
Long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets: effects of washing processes on pesticide residues, and human and environmental exposure Ghent University
A critical enquiry into variability of insecticidal net use in Cambodia: implications for assessing appropriateness of malaria elimination interventions Institute of Tropical Medicine
Distributing long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) to individuals living in malaria-endemic regions is a cornerstone of global malaria control. National malaria control programs aim to achieve "universal coverage" of at-risk populations to reach LLINs' full potential to reduce malaria, progress of which is then measured by indicators constructed from standardized questionnaires. Through an exploration of variability in LLIN use in Cambodia, ...
Effects of pyrethroid resistance on the cost effectiveness of a mass distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets: a modelling study Institute of Tropical Medicine
BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of insecticide-treated nets in preventing malaria is threatened by developing resistance against pyrethroids. Little is known about how strongly this affects the effectiveness of vector control programmes. METHODS: Data from experimental hut studies on the effects of long-lasting, insecticidal nets (LLINs) on nine anopheline mosquito populations, with varying levels of mortality in World Health Organization ...
Radial vs Femoral Access in ACS Patients Undergoing Complex PCI Is Associated With Consistent Bleeding Benefit and No Excess of Risks Hasselt University
Background: The comparative effectiveness of transradial (TRA) compared with transfemoral (TFA) access in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unclear. Methods: Among 8404 ACS patients in the Minimising Adverse Haemorrhagic Events by Transradial Access Site and Systemic Implementation of AngioX (MATRIX)dAccess trial, 5233 underwent noncomplex (TRA: n = 2590; TFA: n = 2643) and ...
