Fecal diagnostics in combination with serology: best test to establish STEC-HUS KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: In the majority of pediatric patients, the hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is caused by an infection with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), mostly serotype O157. It is important to discriminate between HUS caused by STEC and complement-mediated HUS (atypical HUS) due to differences in treatment and outcome. As STEC and its toxins can only be detected in the patient's stool for a short period of time after disease onset, ...

A fundamental dispute: A discussion of "On some fundamentals of igneous petrology" by Bruce D. Marsh, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (2013) 166: 665-690 KU Leuven
© 2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. Marsh (Contrib Miner Petrol 166:665–690, 2013) again claims that crystal-free basalt magmas are unable to differentiate in crustal magma chambers and regards layered intrusions as primarily due to the repeated emplacement of crystal suspensions. He ignores an earlier critique of his unconventional inferences (Latypov, J Petrol 50:1047–1069, 2009) as well as a wealth of petrographic, geochemical and ...
Gender representation at scientific congresses : focus on functional and female urology : a study from the EAU Young Academic Urologist Functional Urology Group Universiteit Gent
PurposeFemale representation at scientific conferences is crucial for encouraging women pursuing an academic career. Nevertheless, gender inequity at urological conferences is common place and women are often stereotyped choosing functional urology. However, there is no evidence whether female representation is higher in functional urology. This investigations aims to analyze gender representation at functional urology sessions.MethodsNational ...
Gender and workforce in urology - use of the BG Index to assess female career promotion in academic urology Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
PURPOSE: Today, the majority of medical graduates in countries such as the UK, the US or Germany are female. This poses a major problem for workforce planning especially in urology. We here use first the first time the previously established Brüggmann Groneberg (BG) index to assess if female academic career options advance in urology.
METHODS: Different operating parameters (student population, urology specialist population, urology ...
