Medical monitoring and follow-up of hunger strikes in a population of undocumented migrants Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Brussels is Belgium's most multicultural city and home to the largest group of undocumented migrants. Their number is estimated at about 100.000. Due to the fact that they have no legal residence and thus only a very limited right of access to health care, education, employment or legal protection, they live in very difficult conditions. Desperate and with no prospect of improving their living conditions, some organize and take action do ...
The global burden of chronic and hidden hunger revisited: New panel data evidence spanning 1990–2017 Universiteit Hasselt
Gödecke, Stein and Qaim (2018) (GSQ) recently analysed the 1990-2010 trend and determinants of the global burden of chronic and hidden hunger. We reanalyse and extend GSQ's study and demonstrate that after 2010, significant reductions in the burden of hunger were achieved. In contrast with GSQ, we find that (i) hidden hunger is more prevalent than chronic hunger; (ii) cereal availability and the supply of vegetables and fruits matter; and (iii) ...

The effect of indursulfase on growth in patients with Hunter syndrome : data from the Hunter Outcome Survey (HOS) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type II) is a rare and life-limiting multisystemic disorder with an X-linked recessive pattern of inheritance. Short stature is a prominent feature of this condition. This analysis aimed to investigate the effects of enzyme replacement therapy with idursulfase on growth in patients enrolled in HOS - the Hunter Outcome Survey which is a multinational observational database. As of Jan 2012, height data before ...
An appetite for risk? Failure to replicate the effect of hunger cues on risk taking KU Leuven
Ditto et al. (2006) reported that consumers who are exposed to external hunger cues (i.e., scent of freshly baked cookies) are less sensitive to risk information. That is, consumers exposed to hunger cues are as likely to take risks in situations with a high versus low probability of losing. Yet, this result is often cited as evidence that hunger increases risk-taking. This may be due to the fact that Ditto et al. (2006) observed that hunger ...
