Time to talk about stuttering: A cross-sectional study about the beliefs and attitude of adolescents toward stuttering.

Introduction: This study investigated the attitude of Belgian (Flemish) high school students of 15 years and older toward stuttering, compared them with international samples and evaluated the impact of an attitude program about stuttering.

Method: Nine schools participated in this study. The students completed the POSHA-S before and after the program.

Analysing matched continuous longitudinal data: A review.

Longitudinal data are frequently encountered in medical research, where participants are followed throughout time. Additional structure and hence complexity occurs when there is pairing between the participants (e.g.

Technical specifications for a EU-wide baseline survey of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria from aquaculture animals.

The European Commission requested scientific and technical assistance in the preparation of a EU-wide baseline survey of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria from aquaculture animals. It is recommended that the survey would aim at estimating the occurrence of AMR in spp. isolated from Atlantic Salmon (), European seabass () and trout () intended to consumption, at harvesting (at farm/slaughter), at the EU level and in addition, at estimating the occurrence and diversity of AMR of , , , and in blue mussel () and Mediterranean mussel () from production areas and at dispatch centres at the EU level.

The Evolution in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Patients' Profile and the Associated Sustainable Challenges: A Multidisciplinary Perspective.

The prevalence and incidence of NAFLD is rising due to the obesity pandemic, caused by the widespread availability of ultra-processed foods and the decrease of physical activity. Factors such as socioeconomic status (SES), ethnicity and geographical location are associated with NAFLD, with lower SES correlating with higher incidence, particularly in regions like America or Europe. Beside the quality of food, the quantity also plays a crucial role.

Position statement on how can we can implement the Greendeal in our gastrointestinal and gastrointestinal endoscopy department in Belgium.

The importance to reach the target to be carbon net zero by 2050, as presented by the European Commission in the European Green Deal, cannot be overestimated. In a current endoscopy world, where single use has found its place and techniques are constantly evolving, it will be a challenge to reach these goals. How can we reconcile this evolution to a carbon neutral status by 2050 without compromising patients care, clinical standards and training needs? The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) together with the European Society of Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Nurses and Associates (ESGENA) recently published a position statement (1) whereas in the UK there is the work from the green endoscopy group (2) in line with the strategy of the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) on sustainability (3).
