Factors predicting treatment of World Trade Center-related lung injury : a longitudinal cohort study Universiteit Gent
The factors that predict treatment of lung injury in occupational cohorts are poorly defined. We aimed to identify patient characteristics associated with initiation of treatment with inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting beta-agonist (ICS/LABA) >2 years among World Trade Center (WTC)-exposed firefighters. The study population included 8530 WTC-exposed firefighters. Multivariable logistic regression assessed the association of patient ...

A framework to identify constraints to post-extinction recovery of plant species—Application to the case of Bromus bromoideus Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise
The reintroduction of plant species is a technique increasingly used to restore extirpated populations. Although most often used to improve the conservation status of endangered species, it can also be considered for species extinct in the wild. The process of resurrecting extinct plant species is however still in its infancy, and it entails additional challenges compared to the reintroduction of locally extinct populations. This study proposes ...
M42 aminopeptidase catalytic site Universiteit Antwerpen
The M42 aminopeptidases are a family of dinuclear aminopeptidases widely distributed in Prokaryotes. They are potentially associated to the proteasome, achieving complete peptide destruction. Their most peculiar characteristic is their quaternary structure, a tetrahedron-shaped particle made of twelve subunits. The catalytic site of M42 aminopeptidases is defined by seven conserved residues. Five of them are involved in metal ion binding which ...
Green Edge ice camp campaigns : understanding the processes controlling the under-ice Arctic phytoplankton spring bloom Universiteit Gent
The impact of non-standard language in consumer-company interactions on corporate Facebook pages : laying the foundations Universiteit Gent
This paper explores the online spread of Dutch non-standard language. We focus on a hitherto unexplored communicative setting, complaint management on corporate Facebook pages, since the linguistic wrapping of both consumer feedback and company responses considerably influences the outcome of the interaction between both parties. Based on a corpus of consumer-company interactions taken from 8 corporate Facebook pages, we investigate to what ...
What explains public transport use? Evidence from seven European cities Universiteit Hasselt
Background: the relationships between the built environment characteristics and personal factors influencing public transport use and the ways they interact are not well understood. Objective: we aim to advance the understanding of the relationship between built environment and frequency of public transport use in seven European cities, while accounting for other factors, such as individual values and attitudes. Methods: in this population-based ...
Early rhythm-control therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation Universiteit Antwerpen
BackgroundDespite improvements in the management of atrial fibrillation, patients with this condition remain at increased risk for cardiovascular complications. It is unclear whether early rhythm-control therapy can reduce this risk. MethodsIn this international, investigator-initiated, parallel-group, open, blinded-outcome-assessment trial, we randomly assigned patients who had early atrial fibrillation (diagnosed <= 1 year before ...
Mechanism of action of SNF472 Universiteit Antwerpen
Background and Purpose No therapy is approved for vascular calcification or calcific uraemic arteriolopathy (calciphylaxis), which increases mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing dialysis. Deposition of hydroxyapatite (HAP) crystals in arterial walls is the common pathophysiologic mechanism. The mechanism of action of SNF472 to reduce HAP deposition in arterial walls was investigated. Experimental Approach We examined SNF472 binding ...
