BACKGROUND The aim was to examine cadexomer iodine paste in a comparative clinical trial. METHODS A 12-week, randomized, open, controlled, multicenter, multinational trial in patients with exudating, venous leg ulcers of cadexomer iodine paste (Iodosorb/Iodoflex), hydrocolloid dressing (Duoderm E, Granuflex E), or paraffin gauze dressing (Jelonet) was carried out. All patients used short-stre...

Within SPIDIA, an EC FP7 project aimed to improve pre analytic procedures, the PAXgene Tissue System (PAXgene), was designed to improve tissue quality for parallel molecular and morphological analysis. Within the SPIDIA project promising results were found in both genomic and proteomic experiments with PAXgene-fixed and paraffin embedded tissue derived biomolecules. But, for this technology to ...

OBJECTIVE To explore what individuals at risk of injury from using paraffin (also known as kerosene) know about paraffin safety, what they do to protect themselves and their families from paraffin-related injury, and how they perceive their risk for such injury. Also, to explore interrelations between these factors and age, sex, education and income. METHODS A sample of 238 individuals was ra...

UCHL1 is a murine monoclonal antibody that recognises a 180-185 kD determinant on CD4 (72%) and CD8 (36%) positive T cells. This antibody is effective in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues, using the immunoperoxidase method. One hundred and forty three cases of malignant lymphoma were examined. Neoplastic cells in 100% of cases of Mycosis fungoides (n = 10), 83% of cases of peripheral...

Aberrant glycosylation is associated with most of the diseases. Direct imaging and profiling of N-glycans on tissue sections can reveal tissue-specific and/or disease-associated N-glycans, which not only could serve as molecular signatures for diagnosis but also shed light on the functional roles of these biomolecules. Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a powerful tool that has been used to cor...

1 Abstract: In the frame of the FAST20XX project under the supervision of ESA, two hybrid rocket engines are developed at Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in collaboration with the Royal Military Academy of Belgium to assess the performance of paraffin/N2O propellants. The goal behind the study is to measure the regression rate and optimize the size of ALPHA, which is a sub-orbital vehicle d...
