Definition, prevalence and predictive factors of benign multiple sclerosis Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Tatjana Reynders, Miguel D'Haeseleer, Jacques De Keyser, Guy Nagels, Marie-Beatrice

Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by a great inter-individual variability in disease course and severity. Some patients experience a rather mild course, controversially called ‘benign MS’ (BMS). The usefulness of this entity in clinical practice remains unclear. Methods We performed a literature search in PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases from November 1980 to December 2015, using the following key words: ...

Predictive factors of ovarian response: progress towards individualized treatment in ovulation induction and ovarian stimulation Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Bart Fauser, Klaus Diedrich, Paul Devroey
Ovarian stimulation is applied in the clinic to restore mono-ovulatory cycles in anovulatory women (ovulation induction) or to induce the development of multiple dominant follicles for assisted reproduction. Ovarian response is the endocrine and follicular reaction of the ovaries to stimulation. Achieving an appropriate ovarian response to anti-estrogens or exogenous gonadotrophins is central to ovulation induction and ovarian stimulation ...

Predictive social factors in relation to preterm birth in a metropolitan region. Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Katrien Beeckman, Sabine Van De Putte, Koen Putman, Freddy Louckx

OBJECTIVE: Preterm birth is an important indicator of neonatal wellbeing. Infants born preterm are at higher risk for severe morbidity and mortality. Apart from medical risk factors, social factors are also associated with preterm birth. This study aims to provide knowledge on factors which have a predictive role in relation to preterm birth.

Siska D'Haese, Heleen Parmentier, Hannah Keppler, Sandrien Van Vooren, Veroniek Van Driessche, WOUTER BAUTERS, Dirk Van Roost, Ingeborg Dhooge
Background: Prediction of vestibular schwannoma (VS) growth would allow for a more differentiated follow-up protocol. Objectives: The natural course of a VS and predictive factors of growth are investigated. Methods: Sixty-two sporadic VS cases diagnosed between 2003 and 2015 were included in this retrospective cohort study. After initial surveillance, active therapy was initiated in 31/62 patients. Regular magnetic resonance images (MRIs) were ...

Measures of spatial heterogeneity in the liver tissue micro-environment as predictive factors for fibrosis score Universiteit Hasselt KU Leuven

Annelies AGTEN, Alfonso Blazquez-Moreno, Marjolein Crabbe, Marianne Tuefferd, Hinrich Goehlmann, Helena GEYS, Cheng-Yuan Peng, Jari CLAES, Thomas NEYENS, Christel FAES, et al.
The organization and interaction between hepatocytes and other hepatic non-parenchymal cells plays a pivotal role in maintaining normal liver function and structure. Although spatial heterogeneity within the tumor micro environment has been proven to be a fundamental feature in cancer progression, the role of liver tissue topology and micro-environmental factors in the context of liver damage in chronic infection has not been widely studied yet. ...
