Urine Toxicology Test for Children With Altered Mental Status
The rate of unintentional ingestion of edible cannabis products in young children is rising rapidly as laws decriminalizing both recreational and medical marijuana in the United States become more widespread.1 Cannabis poisoning in children can lead to a myriad of symptoms, most notably neurologic changes. The abrupt onset and severity of signs and symptoms after ingestion can cause diagnostic uncertainty for practitioners in the emergency department.
Assessing European national health information systems in peer review format: lessons learnt
European Journal of Public Health, Aug 2023 Systematic assessments of a country’s health information system (HIS) help identify strengths and weaknesses and may stimulate actions for improvement. They represent a capacity-building process for the country assessed as well as for the assessor. The joint action on HISs (InfAct) developed a peer-to-peer assessment methodology adapting an established WHO support tool.

Changes in quality-adjusted life expectancy in Belgium, 2013 and 2018 - Archives of Public Health
Computation of QALE requires mortality and HRQoL data. We obtained mortality rates by age from Statistics Belgium [21]. HRQoL data The BHIS is a cross-sectional household survey that includes a representative sample of the Belgian population through multistage stratified sampling. It included 10,829 respondents in 2013 and 11,611 in 2018 [22,23,24]. In both surveys, only participants 15 years and older replied to the EQ-5D-5L instrument.
Time trends in the use of field-substitution in the Belgian health interview survey - Archives of Public Health
While preparing the first BHIS, it was opted to apply a probability field substitution procedure during data-collection. This was considered as the best guarantee to anticipate non-participation and to obtain the net sample size as requested by the commissioners of the survey both in terms of size and composition and this for each of the regions [3, 16].
Predictors of nursing home admission in the older population in Belgium: a longitudinal follow-up of health interview survey participants - BMC Geriatrics
Study population and data The data for this study were derived from a linkage at the individual level between data from the Belgian health interview survey (BHIS) of 2013 and data from the Belgian compulsory health insurance (BCHI) between 2012 and 2018. This linked data is further referred to as HISlink. The study population is limited to those aged 65 years and older.
The ecotoxicological consequences of microplastics and co-contaminants in aquatic organisms: a mini-review
‘Microplastics’ (MPs) is used as a catch-all term to represent a complex variety of properties that arise during both the manufacturing process and following release into the environment [1]. Plastics are composed of different organic polymers to which an array of chemicals (termed here as ‘endogenous chemicals’, e.g. plasticizers, colorants, fillers and stabilizers) are added to enhance certain properties, such as rigidity, malleability, or thermal resistance and prolonging life [2].

Transfer of Additive Chemicals From Marine Plastic Debris to the Stomach Oil of Northern Fulmars
Introduction Plastic pollution in the marine environment is ubiquitous in all ecosystems (Galgani et al., 2015; van Sebille et al., 2015) and represents a size continuum of items from macroplastic (> 5 mm), through microplastic (5 mm to 1 μm) to nanoplastic (< 1 μm; Arthur et al., 2009; Gigault et al., 2018).
Reducing the costs of chronic kidney disease while delivering quality health care: a call to action
Abstract The treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) imposes substantial societal costs. Expenditure is highest for renal replacement therapy (RRT), especially in-hospital haemodialysis. Redirection towards less expensive forms of RRT (peritoneal dialysis, home haemodialysis) or kidney transplantation should decrease financial pressure.
