What are associated factors of unplanned pregnancies ending in birth?Pregnancies that were less planned with women lower socio-economic status (SES), an unhealthier lifestyle before and during the pregnancy, more stress, social support.In Europe, prevalence pregnancy leading to birth varies. Unplanned is common among socially disadvantaged women, adverse outcomes.In a cross-sectional study, 517 recruited from May through September 2015.Women six hospitals Flanders, Belgium. Data self-report...
Background and Aims Both deoxynivalenol (DON) nontyphoidal salmonellosis are emerging threats with possible hazardous effects on both human animal health. The objective of this study was to examine whether DON at low but relevant concentrations interacts the intestinal inflammation induced by Salmonella Typhimurium. Methodology By using a porcine ileal loop model, we investigated intake early inflammatory response Results A significant higher expression IL-12 TNFα clear potentiation IL-1β,...
The gastrointestinal tract is the first target for potentially harmful effects of mycotoxins after intake mycotoxin contaminated food or feed. With deoxynivalenol (DON), T-2 toxin (T-2), fumonisin B1 (FB1) and zearalenone (ZEA) being important Fusarium toxins in northern hemisphere, this study aimed to investigate vitro toxic effect these on intestinal porcine epithelial cells derived from jejunum (IPEC-J2 cells). Viability IPEC-J2 as well proportion apoptotic necrotic was determined by flow...
The mycotoxin T-2 toxin and Salmonella Typhimurium infections pose a significant threat to human animal health. Interactions between both agents may result in different outcome of the infection. Therefore, aim presented study was investigate effects low relevant concentrations on course infection pigs. We showed that presence 15 83 μg per kg feed significantly decreased amount bacteria present cecum contents, tendency reduced colonization jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon contents noticed. In...
It is recognized that mycotoxins can cause a variety of adverse health effects in animals, including altered gastrointestinal barrier function. the aim present study to determine whether mycotoxin-contaminated diets alter oral bioavailability antibiotics doxycycline and paromomycin pigs, mycotoxin adsorbing agent included into interacts with those antibiotics. Experiments were conducted pigs utilizing contained blank feed, feed (T-2 toxin or deoxynivalenol), supplemented glucomannan binder,...
Background Herpes simplex virus infections are highly prevalent in humans. However, the current therapeutics suffer important drawbacks such as limited results neonates, increasing occurrence of resistance and impeded treatment stromal infections. Remarkably, interactions herpesviruses with human mucosa, locus infection, remain poorly understood underlying mechanisms infection controversial. Methodology/Principal Findings A model consisting nasal respiratory mucosa explants was...
Dental caries in young children is a severe public health problem. Children depend on their parents and care professionals for oral health. The aim of this study to gain in-depth insight into the factors influencing children. A qualitative explorative research design, within constructivist paradigm, was used. Eight individual three focus group interviews were conducted with aged 6 months years. Particular emphasis dedicated inclusion from minority groups. Individual eight different welfare...
Contamination of feeds with mycotoxins is a worldwide problem and mycotoxin-detoxifying agents are used to decrease their negative effect. The European Food Safety Authority recently stated guidelines end-points for the efficacy testing detoxifiers. Our study revealed that plasma concentrations deoxynivalenol deepoxy-deoxynivalenol were too low assess 2 commercially available against after 3 wk continuous feeding this mycotoxin at 2.44 ± 0.70 mg/kg feed 7.54 2.20 in broilers. This correlates...
Abrupt deprivation of substrates to neuronal tissue triggers a number pathological events (the "ischemic cascade") that lead cell death. As this is process delayed death and not an instantaneous event, several pharmacological non-pharmacological strategies have been developed attenuate or block cascade. The most promising neuroprotectant so far therapeutic hypothermia its beneficial effects inspired researchers further improve protective benefit by combining it with other neuroprotective...
Purpose/Objectives: To explore communication difficulties and the experience of loneliness among patients with cancer dealing fertility issues.
Objective To evaluate the psychometric properties of Dutch version London Measure Unplanned Pregnancy in women with pregnancies ending birth. Methods A two-phase evaluation design was set-up. Phase I comprised translation from English into and pretesting 6 using cognitive interviews. In phase II, reliability validity LMUP assessed 517 giving birth recently. Reliability (internal consistency) Cronbach’s alpha, inter-item correlations, corrected item-total correlations. Construct principal...
The Dutch university medical centres (UMC's) are on the forefront when it comes to validation, implementation and research of telemonitoring. To aid UMC's in their effort, Government has supported by fostering 'Citrien eHealth program'. This program aims at nationwide upscaling telemonitoring via a collaborative network. quantify success this program, study provide insights into current adoption health care professionals (HCP) within UMC's.
