Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) often requires surgery, but recurrence even after surgery is common. Recurrence rates largely vary in literature and asthma seems to be a comorbid factor. In this study, we aim to estimate disease recurrence during a long-term follow-up, together with the investigation of possible predicting and/or ...

Clinical skills laboratory (CSL) training was recently introduced in the renewed veterinary curriculum at Ghent University, using models and simulators for teaching practical skills. However, time in the CSL is restricted due to the large number of students combined with limited availability of personnel. Therefore, a flipped classroom (FC) model w...
Background The effects of pharmacological blood pressure lowering at normal or high-normal blood pressure ranges in people with or without pre-existing cardiovascular disease remains uncertain. We analysed individual participant data from randomised trials to investigate the effects of blood pressure lowering treatment on the risk of major cardiova...
The newly emerged SARS-CoV-2 strains from the coronavirus (CoV) family is causing one of the most disruptive pandemics of the past century. Developing antiviral drugs is a challenge for the scientific community and pharmaceutical industry. Given the health emergency, repurposing of existing antiviral, antiinflammatory or antimalarial drugs is an at...
We aimed to assess the feasibility of passive slow freezing (PSF using Mr. Frosty container, Nalgene) as an alternative to controlled slow rate freezing (CSF using (FreezalTM, Air liquide)) for human ovarian tissue (OT) cryopreservation. Validation studies needed were determined after assessing the risk associated (EuroGTP-II ART tool) and were con...
Le parcours effectué par six chirurgiens de la Marine française dans le Rio de la Plata au cours du blocus de Buenos Aires et de la Guerra Grande est le fil conducteur par le biais duquel cet article cherche à mettre en exergue la réalité médicale de la Plata au cours de ces années de lutte politique, telle qu’elle a été appréhendée par des membres...
BACKGROUND: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) often requires surgery, but recurrence even after surgery is common. Recurrence rates largely vary in literature and asthma seems to be a comorbid factor. OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aim to estimate disease recurrence during a long-term follow-up, together with the investigation of poss...
INTRODUCTION: A Belgian predictive medical resource tool, Plan Risk Manifestations (PRIMA), for the prediction of the number of patient encounters at mass gatherings (MGs) has recently been developed, in addition to the existing models of Arbon and Hartman. This study presents the results of the validation process for the PRIMA model for music MGs....
A loss of physical functioning (i.e., a low physical capacity and/or a low physical activity) is a common feature in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). To date, the primary care physiotherapy and specialized pulmonary rehabilitation are clearly underused, and limited to patients with a moderate to very severe degree of airf...
The fight against doping in sport is internationally coordinated by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Through its World Anti-Doping Code, WADA aims to harmonize anti-doping policies, rules and regulations. One key reference document bound to the Code is the International Standard for Laboratories (ISL), which mainly specifies the criteria that m...
