… 30 september 2021 Zoekresultaten A miniscule area in the brain can help to identify an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease at a very early stage. The locus coeruleus (LC), or blue spot, is hidden deep in the brainstem and can only be detected with advanced MRI equipment. Heidi Jacobs (Maastricht University/Harvard Medical School) used MRI scans to show that the tau protein can begin to … with tau-protein accumulations and memory problems typical of Alzheimer’s disease. Our findings also demonstrate that these early changes in the LC are not a normal part of ageing, but may actually signal the development of Alzheimer’s.” Early stage Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. In the Netherlands, almost 300,000 people live with dementia, a number expected to exceed half a million by 2040. At present, no drug is available that cures dementia. But if an increased risk of Alzheimer’s can be detected at a very early stage, a healthier lifestyle could in turn reduce an individual’s risk of developing dementia. “The LC plays an important role in sleep, stress, emotions and memory,” Jacobs says. “For that reason, and because this spot is affected by the tau protein …
… time accurately mapped the metabolic highs and lows of life, from birth to old age. Many physiological changes are associated with growing up and aging, from puberty to menopause. However, this new study shows that the timing of our ‘metabolic life stages’ doesn’t coincide with these milestones. The metabolism – the rate at which you burn calories – actually peaks much earlier, during the first year of life. What’s more, the inevitable decline starts later than you might expect, on average only … time accurately mapped the metabolic highs and lows of life, from birth to old age.

Ramaekers Key words: prophylactic cranial irradiation, non-small cell lung cancer "Prophylactic cranial irradiation for stage III non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with curative intent" Approximately 30% of patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) develop brain metastases (BM) over time. BM can lead to neurocognitive disorders, loss of quality of life and negatively influence the patients’ overall survival. Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) is a radiation technique aiming to reduce the risk of BM. The aim of this thesis was to assess the clinical and cost-effectiveness of PCI in stage III NSCLC based on individual patient data from recent trials. Results showed that PCI did not improve the overall survival compared to no PCI. Survival without progression and BM was improved by PCI. The number of serious adverse events was …
