Pathogenic FBN1 Mutations in 146 Adults Not Meeting Clinical Diagnostic Criteria for Marfan Syndrome: Further Delineation of Type 1 Fibrillinopathies and Focus on Patients With an Isolated Major Criterion Universiteit Antwerpen Universiteit Gent
Mutations in the FBN1 gene cause Marfan syndrome (MFS) and have been associated with a wide range of milder overlapping phenotypes. A proportion of patients carrying a FBN1 mutation does not meet diagnostic criteria for MFS, and are diagnosed with "other type 1 fibrillinopathy." In order to better describe this entity, we analyzed a subgroup of 146 out of 689 adult propositi with incomplete "clinical" international criteria (Ghent nosology) from ...
An efficient method for defining plant species under High Conservation Value (HCV) criterion 1 based on the IUCN Red List criteria: A case study using species endemic to Gabon Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise
The High Conservation Value (HCV) concept, developed by the Forest Stewardship Council to promote sustainable forest management, is widely employed for certification of forestry and agriculture concessions, and has been adopted by many logging and palm oil companies. HCV criterion 1, which deals with "endemic, and rare, threatened or endangered species", is rarely used in certification, mainly because lists of these species are incomplete, ...
Reappraisal of OMERACT 8 Draft Validation Criteria for a Soluble Biomarker Reflecting Structural Damage Endpoints in Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, and Spondyloarthritis: The OMERACT 9 v2 Criteria Universiteit Hasselt
Objectives. A draft set of criteria for the validation of soluble biomarkers reflecting damage endpoints was proposed at OMERACT 8. At OMERACT 9 we aimed to scrutinize the necessity for each of these criteria according to the objectives of the working group. Methods. The OMERACT 8 draft criteria and the principle objectives of the validation process were clarified at a meeting of the working group in London, December 2007. A new framework was ...
Updated common biophysical criteria to define natural constraints for agriculture in Europe: Definition and scientific justification for the common biophysical criteria and Technical Factsheets KU Leuven
A panel of soil, climate and land evaluation experts reviewed a set of land evaluation methods in order to elaborate an approach which can support the identification of severe natural constraints to agriculture in the EU28. The driver for this exercise is Article 50.3 of EC-Regulation 1698/2005 calling for the revision of the existing system based on criteria related to low soil productivity and poor climate conditions for agriculture and the ...
Scientific contribution on combining biophysical criteria underpinning the delineation of agricultural areas affected by specific constraints: Methodology and factsheets for plausible criteria combinations KU Leuven
Support for farming in areas facing natural constraints aims at compensating farmers for disadvantages due to adverse conditions. EU regulation No 1305/2013 provides grounds to delineate, amongst others, ‘areas with specific constraints’ through the combination of biophysical criteria of Annex III when at least two of the biophysical criteria are present within a margin of not more than 20% of the threshold value initially defined. An ad-hoc ...
Criteria for recommendation, expert consensus, and appropriateness criteria papers: update from the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging Scientific Documents Committee KU Leuven Vrije Universiteit Brussel
DCD lung donation: donor criteria, procedural criteria, pulmonary graft function validation, and preservation KU Leuven
In an era where there is a shortage of lungs for transplantation is increased utilization of lungs from donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors. We review the reports of 11 controlled and 1 uncontrolled DCD programs focusing on donor criteria, procedural criteria, graft assessment, and preservation techniques including the use of ex vivo lung perfusion. We have formulated conclusions and recommendations for each of these areas, which were ...
