… body absorbs too much iron. The current standard treatment is with phlebotomy, the removal of blood from the circulatory system. This method has side-effects and patients are required to have half a litre of blood taken every week during the initial stages of the disease. By selectively withdrawing only red blood cells, the number of treatments – and therefore the patient burden - can be reduced. Haemochromatosis is a hereditary condition in which excessive amounts of iron are absorbed by the … such as liver cirrhosis, cardiac arrhythmias, or diabetes may develop. Patients often suffer from chronic fatigue, joint problems, and abdominal disorders. Bloodletting This treatment focuses on removing excess iron from the body and consists of two stages: lowering the concentration of iron to an acceptable level (initial stage) and then maintaining these iron levels (maintenance stage). The standard method is phlebotomy or bloodletting, in which half a litre of blood is taken from patients every week during the initial stage of the disease. In the maintenance stage, …

… 2022 Zoekresultaten It is perhaps the most fascinating question in alzheimer's research. What explains the huge differences between people with alzheimer proteins in the brain? 'One person might have these proteins and as a result is in an advanced stage of dementia. In another we see the same amount of damage, but that person does not have symptoms and is in the middle of life, so to speak.

… treatment Almost all myocardial and cerebral infarctions are a result of the formation and the eventual tearing of atherosclerotic plaques. However, the process that leads to the formation of these plaques is not yet clear. During the initial stage, an inflammatory response occurs, drawing certain leukocytes (monocytes) to the inflammatory area. These monocytes are attracted by small proteins (chemokines). There are more than 40 different human chemokines, each with its own function. Recent research has shown that these chemokines can enhance or diminish each other’s function by interacting with each other. This dissertation shows that the initial stage of atherosclerosis largely depends on the interaction between two of these chemokines (heterodimers). In addition, a very large number of unknown heterodimers have been found that play a role in the formation of atherosclerosis. Based on these …

… : werkplekleren, digitale leeromgeving, geneeskunde De resultaten van dit onderzoek laten zien dat Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) een passende leeromgeving is voor het samenwerkend leren van geneeskundestudenten tijdens een klinische stage. Het laat zien wat internet kan bieden aan studenten die op afstand en op individuele wijze hun studie vorm moeten geven. Concluderend is een CSCL leeromgeving veelbelovend voor geneeskundestudenten om het hen mogelijk te maken tijdens klinisch …
… die belemmeringen veroorzaken, terwijl de bescherming van medewerkers doorgaans de implementatie van beschermende, en daarmee ingrijpende, regels inhoudt. De huidige richtlijn tracht de hoeveelheid en de impact van de beschermende regels voor (buitenlandse) dienstverleners te beperken. Gaststaten mogen hun nationale (arbeids)wetten of algemeen verbindend verklaarde CAO’s met betrekking tot de in artikel 3 (1) onder a-g genoemde onderwerpen minimale standaarden opleggen. Gezien deze slechts … of collectief vastgesteld minimumloon moeten betalen, hoeft men niet het volledige loonstelsel van de gaststaat te hanteren. Daarom blijven er substantiële verschillen in kosten, waardoor het speelveld tussen detacherende ondernemingen vanuit het buitenland en lokale bedrijven in het werkland ongelijk blijft. Het voorstel Het nieuwe voorstel, tracht onder andere de verschillen in kosten enigszins terug te brengen. Zoals Commissaris Thyssen zei, heeft het voorstel tot doel het realiseren van … gelijke beloning en gelijke arbeidsvoorwaarden voor gedetacheerde werknemers en lokale medewerkers. De referentie naar het minimumloon is verwijderd. Volgens Thyssen leidt deze wijziging tot een meer gelijke behandeling van de lokale werkgever en de buitenlandse dienstverlenende detacheerder met betrekking tot arbeidskosten. Daarnaast dienen lidstaten de bestanddelen van de beloning, die van toepassing is op gedetacheerde medewerkers, op een transparante manier te specificeren en te publiceren. …
… the first signs of heart failure, such as an enlarged heart muscle or vascular wall damage. When there are structural abnormalities to the heart, but not any recognisable symptoms of heart failure, in medical terms it is referred to as heart failure stage B. In 23% of the women, these abnormalities were present one and four years after their pregnancies. Women with histories of pre-eclampsia also had lower blood plasma volumes and higher blood pressure, which are both risk factors for heart failure stage B. Additionally, women who had pre-eclampsia and high blood pressure had double the chance of developing cardiovascular disease. That risk is present 10 as well as 30 years after the pregnancy when compared to women who had ‘normal’ pregnancies …
