Integrated care model for home-dwelling older patients with depression and physical multimorbidity (I-CONNECT) KU Leuven

Mieke Vermandere
Research Group Social and Economic Policy and Social Inclusion, Academic Center for General Practice
Effective management of depression in older adults with physical multimorbidity requires integrated care to be provided in a holistic manner. No evidence is available for integrated care models for the management of depression in older adults with physical multimorbidity, although more than two thirds of the older adults attending a psychiatric service have at least one physical comorbidity. The overarching goal of this research project is to ...

Perinatal depression in (pregnant) mothers: 'From prevalence to prevention' – A precision medicine approach within a public health perspective KU Leuven

Titia Hompes
Mind-body Research, Public Health Psychiatry, Academic Center for General Practice, Clinical Psychology, Woman and Child
Perinatal Depression (PD) is one of the most common complications (10-20%) during the perinatal period. Although studies clearly suggest that PD may has a considerable negative impact both in the short term and in the long run on (expectant) parents, their offspring and their environment, there is a clear need for longitudinal analytical epidemiological studies in this area given the large heterogeneity in developmental trajectories associated ...

This project represents a formal research agreement between UA and on the other hand the Flemish Public Service. UA provides the Flemish Public Service research results mentioned in the title of the project under the conditions as stipulated in this contract.

Assessment of the involvement of genetic factors in the clinical expression of the psoroptic scabies in the Belgian Blue Ghent University

Edwin Claerebout
Department of Translational Physiology, Infectiology and Public Health

PSOROVIS The project responds to a demand from the sector of Belgian White Blue faced increasing problem of scabies. It is likely that the problem has a multifactorial origin, among others. genetic and environment are likely involved. a full epidemiological study will be conducted at company level, which will examine the existence or non-existence of the disease in herds. Now developed improved immunological and clinical istrumenten to define ...

Development of molecular identification and detection techniques for patuline producing moulds in order to study the impact of storage conditions of apples on the expression of patuline producing genes Ghent University

Bruno De Meulenaer
Department of Food safety and food quality

A molecular technique to detect moulds, processing the genes for the synthesis of patulin, will be developped. Furthermore, the expression of one or several genes will be monitored in order to correlate them with the real patulin production and mould growth on apples as function of the several storage conditions of the apples.

Gene expression Ghent University

Dirk Inzé
Department of Plant Biotechnology and Bioinformatics

Understanding gene expression at a systems level is crucial for gaining correct insights in development and disease of complex organisms. Transcription regulatory networks describe gene expression as a function of inputs specified by physical and funcitonal interactions between transcription factors, miRNAs, cofactors and DNA. We investigate reverse-engineering algorithms to more correctly infer transcription regulatory networks from ...
