- 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…
- Read how researchers will use genome sequencing to study the fungal genus Candida in hospitals to limit its transmission.
- Background Juvenile NCL (JNCL, NCL type 3, Batten disease) is a degenerative metabolic disease. JNCL causes children to lose their vision at primary school age. At that moment often learning and behavioral problems exist as well and increase as the disease progresses. Children with JNCL have an average life expectancy of no more than 23 years. The disease and accompanying behavioral problems and…
- Read how the SHIELD-project strengthens natural defences through ‘trained immunity’, enabling the immune system to combat fungal infections more effectively.
- Read more about tailored communication by exercise therapists to actively involve patients in treatment decisions and behavioral change.
- Read how the COMBAT-AMR project will develop a standardised toolbox specifically for designing antibiotic combination treatments.
- Respiratory tract infections are common and are increasingly caused by bacteria that are no longer sensitive to commonly used antibiotics.ObjectiveThis project aimed to expand the therapeutic arsenal against respiratory tract infections by testing agents that stimulate the immune system.ResultsThe AMC had 2 specific tasks. First, a culture system of human respiratory epithelial cells was set up…
- More and more animal manure is being processed before it is applied to land.AimIn ARMIS, RIVM together with WUR and international partners investigated the extent to which manure processing can reduce antibiotic resistance. Measurements were conducted in Canada, Romania, Germany and the Netherlands.ResultsComposting, fermentation, biological and large-scale treatment can reduce the amount of…
- In de beginperiode van de pandemie werden patiënten behandeld met zuurstof of beademing. Ook werden medicijnen geprobeerd met wisselend resultaat. Enkele medicijnen bleken effectief, maar het is nog onduidelijk aan wie deze medicijnen het beste gegeven kunnen worden. In deze periode zijn veel CT-scans gemaakt om de diagnose te stellen, omdat er weinig PCR-testen waren. Deze scans geven echter ook…
- The use of plastic products, including packaging material, textiles, and rubber tires, can result in the release of tiny plastic particles in the environment. These tiny plastic particles, known as micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs), are increasingly found in our environment, including drinking water and food. However, we know little about the exact exposure to these MNPs and their potential human…
- Discover how reducing overtesting in General Practice contributes to less worrying in patients and to futureproof, appropriate care.
- This project investigated the degree of listening effort of DHH children as well as hearing children in regular schools in two experiments.
