… is diagnosed, serious complications such as damage to the retina, kidneys, heart nerves and brain may already exist. What all these complications have in common is small blood vessel damage, which has showed to be present already in the preliminary stage of diabetes, referred to as prediabetes. This discovery, made by doctors and researchers at Maastricht UMC+ as part of the Maastricht Study (De Maastricht Studie), has far-reaching consequences. The main consequence is namely that measures have to be taken much sooner, in fact during the prediabetes stage. Given the fact that almost 25% of people in the Netherlands between 40 and 75 years of age have prediabetes, a large number of whom will actually develop type 2 diabetes, this is a health problem that must not be underestimated. No symptoms … and the retina. The same type of damage to the small blood vessels was found in both cases.

In fact, prediabetes is not investigated specifically at all at present. The Maastricht Study The discovery of damage to small blood …
… largely on whether and how the cancer has metastasised and whether the tumour can be completely removed. Medical research by PhD candidate Thomas Kerkhofs of the Máxima Medical Centre has found that patients with non-metastatic adrenocortical cancer (stages I-III) live longer if they undergo surgery at a specialised hospital affiliated with the Bijnier Netwerk Nederland (Dutch adrenal gland network, BNN). Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences Kerkhofs received his PhD on Thursday from Maastricht University. One possible explanation for this important difference is a multidisciplinary approach in all stages of oncological treatment, which is standard in BNN hospitals, paired with medicinal treatment following a successful operation. Approximately twenty patients are diagnosed with adrenocortical cancer each year, which makes this a relatively rare … largely on whether and how the cancer has metastasised and whether the tumour can be completely removed.
