Increasing resilience in trans youth : sharing methods and good practices Ghent University
Background Transgender youth are especially vulnerable for isolation, discrimination, violence and mental health problems. The pandemic made it more difficult for youth to meet each other in support groups and increased the waiting times for interventions. Instead of focusing on mental health problems, we focus on how resilience in trans youth can be strengthened. Often resilience is limited to the mental aspect, we propose a holistic view on ...
Prevalence and associated risk factors of HIV infections in a representative transgender and non-binary population in Flanders and Brussels (Belgium): Protocol for a community-based, cross-sectional study using time-location sampling Hasselt University KU Leuven Ghent University Institute of Tropical Medicine
IntroductionHIV prevalence and sexual risk have been estimated very high for transgender people. However, the limited sampling and data collection methods used in current research on transgender people potentially led to overrepresentation and generalisation of people at risk for HIV. Current HIV prevalence estimates in transgender populations are generalised from studies mainly focusing on transgender women engaging in sex work. Moreover, ...
Microarchitecture of Heterotopic Ossification in Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva: An HR-pQCT Case Series Hasselt University
It is challenging to study heterotopic ossification (HO) in patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) due to the contraindication of invasive techniques (i.e., bone biopsies), which can trigger flare-ups. The aim of this case study was to assess mature HO at the microarchitectural level non-invasively with high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). Depending on the patient's mobility, HR-pQCT scans ...
Body composition monitoring in children and adolescents University of Antwerp
There is an increasing need for suitable tools to evaluate body composition in paediatrics. The Body Composition Monitor (BCM) shows promise as a method, but reference values in children are lacking. Twenty children were included and measured twice by 4 different raters to asses inter- and intra-rater reproducibility of the BCM. Reliability was assessed using the Bland-Altman method and by calculating intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). ...
ENIGMA and global neuroscience : a decade of large-scale studies of the brain in health and disease across more than 40 countries Ghent University
This review summarizes the last decade of work by the ENIGMA (Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta Analysis) Consortium, a global alliance of over 1400 scientists across 43 countries, studying the human brain in health and disease. Building on large-scale genetic studies that discovered the first robustly replicated genetic loci associated with brain metrics, ENIGMA has diversified into over 50 working groups (WGs), pooling worldwide ...
Report of the first international workshop on onchocerciasis-associated epilepsy Institute of Tropical Medicine University of Antwerp
Background: Recently, several epidemiological studies performed in Onchocerca volvulus-endemic regions have suggested that onchocerciasis-associated epilepsy (OAE) may constitute an important but neglected public health problem in many countries where onchocerciasis is still endemic.
Main text: On October 12-14th 2017, the first international workshop on onchocerciasis-associated epilepsy (OAE) was held in Antwerp, Belgium. The ...
