Effect and process evaluation of an intervention program on physical activity and sedentary behavior in castrate resistant prostate cancer patients Ghent University
Recent drug improvement (e.g. abiraterone or enzalutamide) for castration resistant prostate
cancer (CRPC) patients has improved survival. As treatment strategies improve and patients live
longer, patients must cope with their treatment-induced adverse effects. Improving levels of
physical activity (PA) and less amounts of sitting time (e.g. sedentary behavior, SB) could have a
positive impact on ...

Evaluation of the protective effect and the mode of action of fatty acids based products against shrimp pathogens Ghent University
This project aims to develop one or more feed concepts based on renewable raw materials for use in the gamalenkweek. This feed concepts should be able to prevent or substantially reduce production losses due to illness and the use of antibiotics in gamalenkweek. There will warden focused on viral infections with the White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) and Acute hepatopancreas Necrosis Disease (AHPND) caused by the bacterium Vibrio ...
