… 28 april 2016 Press release Zoekresultaten If COPD can be detected at an earlier stage in healthy people, this can improve treatment and may lead to lower direct health care costs. COPD is an insidious disease; you feel nothing until part of your lung function is lost. The disease is predicted to become the third leading cause of death in Europe by 2020. By providing financial support, politicians and policymakers can ensure that general practitioners detect COPD patients at an earlier stage. This was the conclusion that Jos Dirven reached in his dissertation 'Early detection of COPD in general practice', which is based on the development of strategies for general practices to identify COPD at an early stage. Fac. Health, Medicine and Life Sciences About half of the people with COPD do not know they have the disease. Their COPD diagnosis is unknown to their general practitioner, is made too late or is incorrect. This is because patients underestimate …

But metastases can be microscopically small, which is why removing the affected ovary is not enough; the lymph nodes are also removed and small … lymph node metastases will also become more reliable and produce fewer side effects.

M.E. de Vugt "Balanced and prepared; development and evaluation of a supportive e-health intervention for caregivers of people with early-stage dementia" Fac. Health, Medicine and Life Sciences Minderbroedersberg Keywords : dementia, caregivers, e-health This research focused on developing and evaluating the ‘Partner in Balance’ e-health course for family members of people with early-stage dementia. The course combines knowledge derived from the literature with the experiences of caregivers and dementia-care professionals. After taking the ‘Partner in Balance’ course, caregivers displayed a higher degree of self-confidence, a greater sense of being in control and a higher quality of life relative to a control group. A low-threshold e-health course was thus shown to have a positive effect on caregivers during the early stages of dementia. Care professionals can use the course to prepare family members for their caregiver role when they are faced with a diagnosis of early-stage dementia. The research also provides insight into the specific needs and wishes of …
… 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, …

… 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 …
