However, their function is disrupted by aging, high blood pressure, and … cholesterol levels, and for healthy communication between inflammatory cells and connective tissue cells. These new insights stimulated, like oxygen, further research into the differences between individual connective tissue cells. By using expression profiles of individual cells, we aim to steer the disease development towards favorable cell subtypes, functions, and cell-cell communication as early as possible, thereby keeping people and their blood vessels healthy for as long as possible.

Towards shared decisions … of care. Practical experience and recent studies show that health care providers are increasingly interested "to look at the person behind the patient". However, it turns out to be difficult to tailor treatment recommendations to individual patients’ profiles and needs, as they are predominantly determined in the provider-only MDT meetings, where time is often lacking for in-depth analysis of general health status and the goals and preferences of the individual patient. Recommendations of the MDT …

… 23 mei 2024 Zoekresultaten Considering the master’s programme Epidemiology at Maastricht University? As a student, you’ll join a broad one-year programme that continuously strives for improvement. After graduation you’ll be eligible to become certified as an Epidemiologist … one of the tasks for Colinda Simons, who handled all educational matters last year and was appointed as the new programme coordinator in September 2023. In addition to the positive feedback from the Association, Colinda also received advice to make a profile of the master’s and to increase the student population. Colinda: “The committee asked about our profile at the beginning of the day and was able to answer their own question at the end of the day after further discussion with staff and students: we have a broad programme, covering all fundamental aspects of epidemiology. We need to promote that …

Breyer-Kohansal Keywords: Body composition, lung health, metabolic health, muscle and fat mass "Respiratory and metabolic health: The impact of body composition" This thesis provides the first … to the general population. It further shows that we need to consider fat and muscle mass when investigating and evaluating metabolic and respiratory health. The data show that children with high fat and muscle mass have the most adverse blood lipid profile. It will be important to observe their future cardiometabolic outcomes to estimate their risk for cardiovascular diseases. The current thesis further found that individuals with higher muscle mass have a better lung function and that gain in …

For both, macrophages and their precursors, monocytes, are important contributors. The rapid development in high-throughput and imaging technologies have enabled researchers to detect profiles of genes, proteins, and metabolites within individuals and cells. These techniques are increasingly applied to study cardiometabolic diseases. However, their potential to explore the pathogenesis has not been fully exploited. This thesis …

Faster growth by different mutations was hypothesized as another factor in post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer occurrence. This thesis examined the genetic profile of post-colonoscopy colorectal cancers in comparison with common colorectal cancer. The results showed no unique mutations in post-colonoscopy colorectal cancers, but they did show more often the features as seen in a more subtle and flat …

Insufficient physical activity is a major contributor to a worse cardiometabolic health profile and the development of chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. Despite the significant health benefits of physical activity, adherence to these physical activity guidelines is poor. In addition, it …

… 17 juni 2024 Zoekresultaten Neuroscientist Dennis Hernaus investigates the reward system in our brain. How does this ‘brain network’ ensure that we become motivated? That we pursue goals and can learn about reward and punishment? Hernaus finds motivation as a research field … with Mondriaan and MUMC+, we are creating reward tasks that we can standardize for clinical practice to differentiate between people with motivational problems, such as those with depression and psychosis. Based on the individual motivation profile, you can make predictions about how people will respond to a certain treatment. We have made significant progress, but the research still needs a few more years before we have well-validated tasks that can be used by a clinician to map someone's motivation profile easily. If we find ways to improve motivation, it will greatly help in the treatment of other associated issues. And if we can identify the mechanisms by which motivation becomes disrupted, this can eventually aid in early detection: as a …
