Reintroduction objectives, decisions and outcomes : global perspectives from the herpetofauna Ghent University
Reintroduction of clinically healthy tortoises: the herpesvirus trojan horse Ghent University
Reintroduction programs of tortoises Lire often implemented for the recovering of natural populations. Introduced animals should be free of known diseases and pathogens, such ais herpesviruses; these are well known to cause latent infections that may be reactivated under certain conditions. Thus, clinically healthy chelonians may carry and shed herpesviruses, posing a thrat to naive populations. From August 2006 to August 2007, blood and oral ...
On farm plant reintroduction: a decision framework for plant conservation translocation in EU agro-ecosystems Meise Botanic Garden
The increased demand of food produced through sustainable agriculture has resulted in localised amelioration of intensive management imposed by agroecosystems. However, these newly available niches are often isolated and plant species may not be able to recolonise fragmented agroecosystems from where they have been extirpated. Plant reintroduction can overcome dispersal limitation in agroecosystems but may also generate conflicts that jeopardise ...
Efficacy and Findings of a Blinded Randomized Reintroduction Phase for the Low FODMAP Diet in Irritable Bowel Syndrome. KU Leuven
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The efficacy of a low fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAP) diet in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is well established. After the elimination period, a reintroduction phase aims to identify triggers. We studied the impact of a blinded reintroduction using FODMAP powders to objectively identify triggers and evaluated the effect on symptoms, quality of life, and psychosocial comorbidities. METHODS: ...
Hyperferritinemia and liver iron content determined with MRI: Reintroduction of the liver iron index KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Hyperferritinemia is found in around 12 % of the general population. Analyzing the cause can be difficult. In case of doubt about the presence of major iron overload most guidelines advice to perform a MRI as a reliable non-invasive marker to measure liver iron concentration (LIC). In general, a LIC of ≥ 36 µmol/g dw is considered the be elevated however in hyperferritinemia associated with, for example, obesity or alcohol ...
World Allergy Organization (WAO) Diagnosis and Rationale for Action against Cow's Milk Allergy (DRACMA) Guideline update - VII - Milk elimination and reintroduction in the diagnostic process of cow's milk allergy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The diagnosis of cow's milk allergy (CMA) in infants and young children remains a challenge because many of the presenting symptoms are similar to those experienced in other diagnoses. Both over- and under-diagnosis occur frequently. Misdiagnosis carries allergic and nutritional risks, including acute reactions, growth faltering, micronutrient deficiencies and a diminished quality of life for infants and caregivers. An inappropriate diagnosis ...
Successful reintroduction of a Belgian endemic, previously extinct in the wild Meise Botanic Garden
Successful reintroduction releases pressure on China's orchid species KU Leuven
Orchids have suffered dramatic declines in China and elsewhere in the world and several species are at the brink of extinction. Recent developments in orchid reintroduction programs could help establish new populations in natural habitats and release the current pressure on China's most threatened orchid species.
