Worldwide Prevalence and Burden of Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders, Results of Rome Foundation Global Study KU Leuven
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Although functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), now called disorders of gut-brain interaction, have major economic effects on health care systems and adversely affect quality of life, little is known about their global prevalence and distribution. We investigated the prevalence of and factors associated with 22 FGIDs, in 33 countries on 6 continents. METHODS: Data were collected via the Internet in 24 countries, ...
Effect of the Natural Sweetener Xylitol on Gut Hormone Secretion and Gastric Emptying in Humans: A Pilot Dose-Ranging Study KU Leuven
Sugar consumption is associated with a whole range of negative health effects and should be reduced and the natural sweetener xylitol might be helpful in achieving this goal. The present study was conducted as a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over trial. Twelve healthy, lean volunteers received intragastric solutions with 7, 17 or 35 g xylitol or tap water on four separate days. We examined effects on: gut hormones, glucose, ...

Implementation of artificial intelligence in the histological assessment of pulmonary subsolid nodules University of Antwerp
Background: Clinical management of subsolid nodules (SSNs) is defined by the suspicion of tumor invasiveness. We sought to develop an artificial intelligent (AI) algorithm for invasiveness assessment of lung adenocarcinoma manifesting as radiological SSNs. We investigated the performance of this algorithm in classification of SSNs related to invasiveness. Methods: A retrospective chest computed tomography (CT) dataset of 1,589 SSNs was ...
