… nagedacht, maar een van de belangrijkste laatste stappen in een onderzoek is het onder de aandacht brengen bij een groter (vak)publiek. Dat heb ik natuurlijk gedaan via deze conferentie, maar er worden ook een aantal belangrijke conferenties in het buitenland georganiseerd. Wellicht kan ik het geld daarvoor gebruiken.” … Afgelopen week heeft Nousjka Vranken, student Gezondheidswetenschappen, een publieksprijs gewonnen met de presentatie van haar bacheloronderzoek tijdens de Student Research …

… treated with additional medication. What is very positive, however, is that they can still become pregnant in a natural way if they wish to have children later on. Indeed, we saw that a quarter of the young women treated with chemotherapy for early stage breast cancer gave birth to a child within 5 years.

… or intestinal ischemia, is a common, serious condition associated with a high mortality rate. The high mortality rate is partly determined by the lack of good diagnostic tests, as a result of which intestinal ischemia is often detected at a late stage. This dissertation shows that the new blood tests I-FABP and SM22 are valuable additions in the early diagnostics of patients with intestinal ischemia. In the future, both blood tests may enable us to determine the severity of the intestinal …

… procedures by improving routine diagnostics as well as patient specific medical care. The results presented in this thesis demonstrate that biological processes similar to bone healing can be connected to clinical risk reduction in cases of late stage human atherosclerosis. Moreover, detailed computational analysis of existing noninvasive clinical imaging was utilized to model the impact of patient specific plaque structures on vessel wall stability and cellular composition. Thereby creating a …

… and that holds, too, for individuals’ consumption of healthcare. Personal preferences play a role in the effect of treatment. Being aware of the patient’s preferences is thus an important part of working towards care that puts the patient centre stage. In his dissertation, Wijnen describes the current methods and studies used in charting patient preferences. He also addresses the economic evaluation of treatments. An important conclusion of his research is that by using better measurement …
