… 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.

… 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. This damage increases a person’s risk of developing type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This means that a method must be found of intervening at that stage in order to prevent further, more serious problems. However, healthcare is not currently geared to doing so. 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.
