A dichotomy in bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome after lung transplantation revealed by azithromycin therapy KU Leuven
Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is the most important cause of late mortality following lung transplantation, resulting in major morbidity and a huge burden on healthcare resources. Treatment options are limited, resulting in a mere stabilisation of the lung function decline. Recent introduction of the macrolide antibiotic azithromycin raised new hope after demonstrating lung function improvement in subsets of patients. The present study ...
Prostitution laws across the European Union: to go beyond the existing dichotomy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
By representing a major ideological target for policy makers and scholars, prostitution has often been a thorny issue to analyse. Accordingly, relating legal discourses tend to be extremely polarised in their theoretical premises and usually rely on the conflicting dichotomy between prostitution ‘as violence’ and ‘a job like another’. To date, whilst the European Union refrains from including ‘the oldest profession in the world’ in its Strategic ...
Dichotomy in Fatal Outcomes in a Large Cohort of People Living with HTLV-1 in Sao Paulo, Brazil KU Leuven
Background: Despite its relatively low incidence of associated diseases, Human T-cell Leukemia Virus-1 (HTLV-1) infection was reported to carry a significant risk of mortality in several endemic areas. HTLV-1-associated diseases, adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraperesis (HAM/TSP), as well as frequent coinfections with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and ...
Experience as cognition: musical sense-making and the ‘in-time/outside-of-time’ dichotomy KU Leuven
Musical sense-making relies on two distinctive strategies: tracking the moment-to-moment history of the actual unfolding and recollecting actual and previous sounding events in a kind of synoptic overview. Both positions are not opposed but complement each other. The aim of this contribution, therefore, is to provide a comprehensive framework that provides both conceptual and operational tools for coping with the sounds. Five major possibilities ...
Response to dietary tannin challenges in view of the browser/grazer dichotomy in an Ethiopian setting Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Ghent University
It has been suggested that goats (typical browser) are better adapted to digest tannin-rich diets than sheep (typical grazer). To evaluate this, Bonga sheep and Kaffa goats were used in a 2 × 3 randomized crossover design with two species, three diets, and three periods (15-day adaptation + 7-day collection). The dietary treatments consisted of grass-based hay only (tannin-free diet = FT), a high-tannin diet (36% Albizia schimperiana ...

Two-component Jets and the Fanaroff-Riley Dichotomy KU Leuven
The two types of Fanaroff–Riley radio loud galaxies, FRI and FRII, exhibit strong jets but with different properties. These differences may be associated to the central engine and/or the external medium. The AGN classification FRI and FRII can be linked to the transverse stratification of the jet. Indeed, theoretical arguments support this transverse stratification of jets with two components induced by intrinsic features of the central engine ...
TWO-COMPONENT JETS AND THE FANAROFF–RILEY DICHOTOMY KU Leuven
Transversely stratified jets are observed in many classes of astrophysical objects, ranging from young stellar objects, μ-quasars, to active galactic nuclei and even in gamma-ray bursts. Theoretical arguments support this transverse stratification of jets with two components induced by intrinsic features of the central engine (accretion disk + black hole). In fact, according to the observations and theoretical models, a typical jet has an inner ...
Addressing the sustainability challenge beyond the fact-value dichotomy. A call for engaged knowledge. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In our culture, deliberation over a sustainable future takes place in a political
arena with several players: politics; science, business, civil society. The debate
is heavily weighted upon by the relation between science and politics: science is
armed with powerful, but unconcerned facts underpinning all of the important
decisions, while politics is left with nothing but values, full of concern but quite
