Bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) is a subspecialty of forensic sciences, dealing with the analysis and interpretation of bloodstain patterns in crime scenes. The aim of BPA is uncovering new information about the actions that took place in a crime scene, potentially leading to a confirmation or refutation of a suspect's statement. A typical goal of BPA is to estimate the flight paths for a set of stains, followed by a directional analysis in order to estimate the area of origin for the stains.

Acta Anaesthesiol Belg
December 2008
Department of Aneshesia, University Hospitals KUL, Leuven, Belgium.
Article Synopsis
- Spinal hypotension (SH) is a frequent complication of spinal anesthesia, affecting patients both during and after surgery.
- In a clinical trial with 100 patients undergoing transurethral prostatectomy, those receiving IV ephedrine experienced fewer postoperative hypotensive episodes per patient, although the overall incidence of hypotension did not significantly differ from the saline control group.
- Both peroperative and postoperative hypotension were common, appearing as late as 190 minutes post-surgery, with preoperative use of alpha-receptor blockers linked to increased hypotension risk.
Review article: the nature of oesophageal injury in gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.

September 2006
Department of Morphology & Molecular Pathology, University Hospitals KUL, Leuven, Belgium.
The purpose of this review was to explore issues relating to the nature of oesophageal injury in gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. Several structural and functional elements of the oesophageal epithelium provide for an inherent resistance against refluxed material. It is only when this defence is overcome that reflux-induced damage ensues.

The significance of perineural spread in adenoid cystic carcinoma of the major and minor salivary glands.
Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg
June 1988
Department of Oral and Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospitals KUL, Belgium.
Patient survival, local recurrence and distant metastasis were studied in relation to the pathological finding of perineural spread in 37 patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the major and minor salivary glands. All patients underwent a combined surgical and radiotherapeutical treatment. The overall incidence of perineural invasion in primary resection specimens was 52.
