Challenges related to data protection in clinical research before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: An exploratory study KU Leuven
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic brought global disruption to health, society and economy, including to the conduct of clinical research. In the European Union (EU), the legal and ethical framework for research is complex and divergent. Many challenges exist in relation to the interplay of the various applicable rules, particularly with respect to compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This study aimed to gain insights ...
Evidence of protection against clinical and chronic hepatitis B infection 20 years after infant vaccination in a high endemicity region Universiteit Gent
Proton therapy technology evolution in the clinic: impact on radiation protection. KU Leuven
The use of proton therapy as a treatment modality is becoming more widespread in conventional radiation therapy practice. Commercialisation and introduction of compact systems has led to embedding of proton therapy facilities in existing hospital environments. In addition, technologically, proton therapy is currently undergoing an important evolution, moving from passive scattering delivery techniques to active pencil beam scanning, adopting ...
In vitro disinfection efficacy and clinical protective effects of common disinfectants against acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND)-causing Vibrio isolates in Pacific white shrimp Penaeus vannamei Universiteit Gent
Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is one of the most significant bacterial diseases in global shrimp culture, causing severe economic losses. In the present study, we carried out in vitro antimicrobial tests to investigate the disinfection efficacy of 14 common disinfectants toward different AHPND-causing Vibrio spp., including eight isolates of V. parahaemolyticus, four isolates of V. campbellii, and one isolate of V. owensii. ...
A scalable low-cost cGMP process for clinical grade production of the HIV inhibitor 5P12-RANTES in Pichia pastoris Universiteit Gent
Impact of the mode of protraction of basal insulin therapies on their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties and resulting clinical outcomes KU Leuven
Manufacturers of insulin products for diabetes therapy have long sought ways to modify the absorption rate of exogenously administered insulins in an effort to better reproduce the naturally occurring pharmacokinetics of endogenous insulin secretion. Several mechanisms of protraction have been used in pursuit of a basal insulin for which a low injection frequency would provide tolerable and reproducible glucose control; these mechanisms have met ...
Detection of beta-lactamase production in clinical Prevotella species by MALDI-TOF MS method Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Penicillins, can be used in treatment of infections due to Prevotella species if they are susceptible to penicillin. Early and accurate preliminary detection of β-lactamase-producing isolates is crucial for treatment of infection. The aim of this study was to determine β-lactamase-producing Prevotella species by MALDI-TOF MS and screen them for the presence of cfxA gene, responsible for β-lactamase production. A total of 500 clinically ...
