The changing HER2 biomarker testing policy: Impact and training for the Belgian pathology laboratories KU Leuven
Human epidermal growth factor 2 is known to be overexpressed in approximately 15 to 20% of all breast cancers. To guarantee proper high quality testing in daily clinical practice, ASCO/CAP have developed guidelines. Three different versions have been written since 2007, aiming to generalize and standardize analytical aspects and interpretation of HER2 testing. The Latest version, published in 2018, aims to optimize identification of HER2 ...

MUTUALIST: Machine translation with User-specific Training and User-specific Adaptation for Literary texts: impact on Individual Style in Translation Ghent University
In the translation industry, improving machine translation (MT) output
by post-editing is commonly used to increase productivity and
consistency. However, some research showed that post-editing leads
to homogenization and normalization. And, although the application
of MT to literary translation has been limited, with the increased MT
quality due to neural MT, literary translators could also benefit from ...
Training priests for the Dutch Mission. The Defining Impact of Educational Institutions in Louvain on Catholicism in the Early Modern Dutch Republic (1592-1727) KU Leuven
Because of the ban on Catholicism of 1580, the Dutch Mission relied on foreign educational institutions to train Catholic priests for the Dutch Republic. As popular training centers of secular and regular clerics, educational institutions in Louvain could thus exert a powerful influence on Dutch Catholicism. Not only did they imbue future priests with the theological views that shaped their approach to their pastoral duties, they also acted ...
The impact of split-belt treadmill training to modulate freezing related gait deficits and freezing episodes in Parkinson's disease KU Leuven
Freezing of gait (FOG) is one of the most disabling features of Parkinson's disease (PD). Treatment options for FOG are limited at present. Freezers have a less symmetrical gait than non-freezers, have more difficulty with motor switching and adapt their gait poorly to asymmetrical conditions (turning). In this project, we want to investigate whether adapting gait to modulations imposed by a split-belt treadmill, improves walking ability ...

Impact of exercise training in the fasted vs. postprandial state in patients with insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Ghent University
Optimization of the clinical benefits of exercise intervention in patients with IR and T2DM is necessary. Therefor, we will evaluate the possible differences in respons to continuous versus interval training, in fasted versus postprandial condition, in patients with IR and T2DM. We will focus on clinical and fundamental aspects in energy metabolism, with specific interest on fat metabolism.
