Evidence-Based Guidance for One Health Preparedness, Prevention, and Response Strategies to Marburg Virus Disease Outbreaks.
Diseases
December 2024
Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC), Kigali 7162, Rwanda.
Objectives: Marburg virus disease (MVD) is on the WHO list for pandemic-prone pathogens. The current outbreak in Rwanda provides an opportunity to map outbreaks and generate information to inform policymaking, resource mobilization, and guide the implementation of cost-effective response strategies.
Methods: We synthesized available information about MVD to build holistic, up-to-date evidence to inform policymakers, public health leaders, and healthcare and public health services providers in their development and implementation of cost-effective preparedness, prevention, and control measures.
Building a Foundation for High-Quality Health Data: Multihospital Case Study in Belgium.
JMIR Med Inform
December 2024
Department of Public Health and Primary Care, Unit of Medical Informatics and Statistics, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium.
Background: Data quality is fundamental to maintaining the trust and reliability of health data for both primary and secondary purposes. However, before the secondary use of health data, it is essential to assess the quality at the source and to develop systematic methods for the assessment of important data quality dimensions.
Objective: This case study aims to offer a dual aim-to assess the data quality of height and weight measurements across 7 Belgian hospitals, focusing on the dimensions of completeness and consistency, and to outline the obstacles these hospitals face in sharing and improving data quality standards.
Challenges and barriers for the adoption of personalized medicine in Europe: the case of Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score test.
Diagnosis (Berl)
December 2024
Sarah Cannon Research Institute, Nashville, TN, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Personalized medicine in oncology has great potential, but its adoption in Europe is hindered by various challenges, as seen with the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score assay.
- The case study details obstacles faced in integrating this genomic test into European healthcare from 2004 to 2018, including issues with clinical evidence, reimbursement, and regulatory processes.
- Key findings from the TAILORx study suggest that, for certain breast cancer patients, endocrine therapy may suffice without the need for additional adjuvant chemotherapy, highlighting the importance of personalized treatment approaches.
The Hunt for Kinder Practices: Minimising Harm to Wild Boar Welfare, Insights from a Qualitative Study in Wallonia (Belgium).
Animals (Basel)
November 2024
Équipe SEED (Socio-Écologie, Enquête et Délibération), UR SPHERES, Département des Sciences et Gestion de l'Environnement, Faculté des Sciences, Université de Liège, Avenue de Longwy, 185, 6700 Arlon, Belgium.
As in the rest of Europe, the Belgian boar population has been tending to increase, posing new challenges to management by hunting. Moreover, in autumn 2018, the African Swine Fever (ASF) virus penetrated Belgian territory. In response to this so-called overpopulation and to this health crisis, wild boars were massively culled by hunters and other nature managers.

J Hazard Mater
December 2024
Faculty of Biosciences, Norwegian University of Life Sciences, PO Box 5003, Ås N-1432, Norway.
A new biokinetic model for iodine in dairy cows was developed utilizing data from a 4 × 4 factorial feeding experiment with rumen-cannulated cows that were fed rapeseed cake containing substances known to influence iodine metabolism, and soybean meal without such effects. I was administered both intravenously and intra-ruminally to document metabolism pathways. The new model included compartments such as saliva and thyroid gland, often ignored in other models, and in contrast to previously available biokinetic models, it fitted well to our experimental data.
