- Read more about the Waalbed V study into treatment approaches regarding severe challenging behavior in patients with dementia in nursing homes
- The use of plastic materials, such as packaging, textiles and rubber tyres, can lead to the release of small plastic particles into the environment, micro- and nanoplastic particles (MNPs). MNPs have been found in our environment and in our bodies. We still know little about the potential health risks of MNPs.MOMENTUM 2.0 is a follow-up to the 3-year MOMENTUM project to assess the human health…
- Supervision of excellent medical residents: read how supervisors can improve the support and development of talented residents.
- Researchers tested whether bacteriophages can remove antibiotic-resistant bacteria from wastewater. Find out what the project achieved.
- Bacteria are increasingly becoming resistant to antibiotics. This is an immediate threat to health care in the Netherlands and elsewhere. Recent studies show that, in Europe alone, more than 30.000 individuals die every year due to an infection with an antibiotic-resistant bacterium.AimThis project studied the pathways by which resistant bacteria can emerge in complex ecosystems, in which they can…
- The fungus Aspergillus fumigatus is important for the breakdown of plant waste, but also causes lung diseases. Are Agricultural workers at greater risk of developing lung diseases?
- Infections caused by bacteria resistant to most antibiotics (so-called multidrug resistant bacteria) remain a global problem. The lack of new antibiotics is a major social problem and threat to human and animal health.AimIn this antimicrobial discovery project, researchers focused on developing novel antibiotics for the highly virulent and antibiotic-resistant human pathogens (called the ESKAPE…
- T@CKLE (Transdisciplinary Analysis and Co-creation of Knowledge to Lead Efforts against Online and Offline Sexually Transgressive Behaviour and Sexual Violence) thoroughly tackles both online and offline STBSV. With an integrated and transdisciplinary approach T@CKLE brings together experts, organizations and initiatives in a new national STBSV network. With this, the collaboration across…
- The ReUsable project focuses on sustainability in healthcare by demonstrating the potential of hybrid procedure trays, while limiting the financial risks for healthcare institutions.
- Micro and nanoplastics (MNPs) are widespread pollutants in the environment, including our food. MNPs that are in contact with a complex matrix, like food or intestinal digestive juices, will be covered with a biofilm of biomolecules, the biomolecular corona. Proteins in the biocorona are known to modify the intestinal uptake of MNPs. This can have adverse human health effects. Very limited data is…
- In het Post-COVID Netwerk Nederland werken patiënten, wetenschappers, zorgprofessionals en maatschappelijke partners samen om wetenschappelijk onderzoek en patiëntenzorg voor mensen met post-COVID onderling en op elkaar af te stemmen.
- Read how the GoHot consortium investigates the health risks associated with heat stress, air quality and pollen in a changing climate.
