The International Protein Summit in 2016 brought experts in clinical nutrition and protein metabolism together from around the globe to determine the impact of high-dose protein administration on clinical outcomes and address barriers to its delivery in the critically ill patient. It has been suggested …

In de periode maart 2015 – december 2016 heeft de opleiding WTB deelgenomen aan het landelijk project proeftuinen.

This exploratory study aims to obtain a first impression of the wishes and needs of employees on the use of wearables at work for health promotion. 76 employ-ees with a mean age of 40 years old (SD ±11.7) filled in a survey after trying out a wearable. Most employees see the potential of using wearable …

Evaluating protein kinetics in the critically ill population remains a very difficult task. Heterogeneity in the intensive care unit (ICU) population and wide spectrum of disease processes creates complexity in assessing protein kinetics. Traditionally, protein has been delivered in the context of total …

Emerging evidence suggests that exogenous protein/amino acid supplementation has the potential to improve the recovery of critically ill patients. After a careful review of the published evidence, experts have concluded that critically ill patients should receive up to 2.0-2.5 g/kg/d of protein. Despite …

Insight into protein requirements of intensive care unit (ICU) patients is urgently needed, but at present, it is unrealistic to define protein requirements for different diagnostic groups of critical illness or at different stages of illness. No large randomized controlled trials have randomized protein …

From the thesis: "Summary Metabolic diseases that are characterized by a disturbance in energy balance because of feeding behavior, such as obesity and anorexia are known to be a world-wide problem. A better understanding in central regulation of energy intake and metabolism could give more insight in …

Lichte elektrische vrachtvoertuigen (zoals de vrachtfiets) zijn de toekomst voor stedelijke leveringen waarbij de laadcapaciteit van een bestel- of vrachtauto onnodig is.

Met de sterk groeiende aantallen zonnepanelen en windmolens maakt Nederland een inhaalslag met de opwekking van duurzame energie in de vorm van elektriciteit. Helaas bestaat er nog geen goede balans tussen vraag en aanbod en is betaalbare opslag van duurzame stroom nog niet vanzelfsprekend. Een mogelijk …
