Suffering in silence: a qualitative study on reasons of delay in seeking care for visceral leishmaniasis in southern Gedaref, Sudan Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Multicentre study on rates and reasons for treatment discontinuation in patients with remaining cryopreserved embryos Universiteit Antwerpen KU Leuven Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Research question: What is the discontinuation rate among patients with remaining cryopreserved embryos in Belgium and what are the reasons for discontinuation?Design: Multicentre, cross-sectional study across 11 Belgian fertility clinics. Patients were eligible (n = 1917) if they had previously undergone an unsuccessful fresh embryo transfer (fresh group) or frozen embryo transfer (FET) (in-between group) and did not start a subsequent FET ...
Autopsy acceptance rate and reasons for decline in Mulago Hospital, Kampala, Uganda Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Objective To determine the autopsy acceptance rate and reasons for decline at Mulago Hospital, Kampala, Uganda. Methods The next of kin of patients who died in a combined infectious diseases and gastro-enterology ward of Mulago Hospital were approached to answer a questionnaire concerning characteristics of their deceased relative. During the interview their consent was asked to perform a complete autopsy. If autopsy was declined, the next of ...

Analysis of the effects of a delay of surgery in patients with hip fractures: outcome and causes Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Summary: This study analyzed characteristics of hip fracture patients who did not undergo surgery within 24 hours after hospitalization, as recommended by the Belgian quality standards. Reasons for delay were analyzed. Delay in surgery for hip fracture was related to the medical condition of the patients. Introduction: To compare patients with optimal timing to patients with a delay in hip surgery, with respect to outcome (complications ...
At Last! Reaching the Remedy for Delay after a Long Ride through the EU Judicial System, Case T‑577/14 Gascogne Sack Deutschland and Gascogne v. European Union, EU:T:2017:1 KU Leuven
Two fundamental issues arise from this remedies-for-delay saga and both warrant increased attention. First, the impartiality of the General Court in the action for damages is contestable, and there are good reasons to be even more suspicious with respect to similar cases in the future which might not follow the same trajectory as Gascogne Sack Deutschland and Gascogne. Second, the effectiveness of the judicial remedy as prescribed by the CJEU ...
Analysis of Time Delay between Bioimpedance and Respiratory Volume Signals under Inspiratory Loaded Breathing KU Leuven
Bioimpedance is known for its linear relation with volume during normal breathing. For that reason, bioimpedance can be used as a noninvasive and comfortable technique for measuring respiration. The goal of this study is to analyze the temporal behavior of bioimpedance measured in four different electrode configurations during inspiratory loaded breathing. We measured four bioimpedance channels and airflow simultaneously in 10 healthy subjects ...
Morphological Transparency and the Delay of Principle B Effect KU Leuven
© 2014 Elsevier B.Vsss. In L1 acquisition of English, Dutch, Russian, and Icelandic, children do not acquire Principle B until age 7-8, while in L1 acquisition of Italian, French, and German children no such delay is observed. This is the Delay of Principle B Effect (DPBE). Existing accounts of this contrast in terms of the clitic status of the relevant pronouns or their referential properties are unable to account for the dividing line between ...
Reducing prehospital delay in acute stroke KU Leuven
Despite the proven benefits of thrombolysis for patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke, only a limited number of patients receive thrombolytic therapy. The reason for the low treatment rate is that thrombolysis is only effective a few hours after the onset of ischemic stroke, so delays in patients being admitted to hospital and being diagnosed mean that the therapeutic window is often missed. Major factors that lead to prehospital delay ...
