Background: Fall prevention programs have been proven effective in reducing falls and fall-related injuries in specific target groups and settings. However, implementing these programs on a larger scale often requires adjustments for feasibility. This study assessed the effectiveness of the nationally …

Achtergrond Het integreren van zorg voor (risico op) ondervoeding en sarcopenie in de eerstelijnszorg is uitdagend, omdat de beperkte fysieke nabijheid van zorgprofessionals de samenwerking bemoeilijkt. Beide aandoeningen komen veel voor bij thuiswonende ouderen en gaan gepaard met aanzienlijke achteruitgang …

Cyclophosphamide (CPA) is a commonly used alkylating chemotherapeutic drug that targets rapidly dividing cells causing apoptosis by crosslinking DNA. While effective against neoplasms, CPA can also affect healthy immune cells. This study investigated whether a single dose of CPA alters healthy lymphoid …

Camera traps are widely used in wildlife research to study species presence, distribution, and behaviour, yet their potential influence on animal behaviour is often assumed to be negligible. Many carnivores, including canids, rely heavily on olfactory communication and frequently deposit scent marks …

Self-Determination Theory (SDT) has been widely applied in sports coaching research, encompassing both basic psychological need (BPN)–supportive (bright side) and BPN–thwarting (dark side) coaching behaviours. This paper focuses on the bright side by systematically reviewing and meta-analysing SDT-based …

Background Practical work provides the unique opportunity for students to make a clear connection between their hands-on activities and the underlying minds-on concepts, but research indicates that these possibilities are used relatively little or unsuccessfully. Purpose In this study, lesson design …

Background: Obesity is defined as a chronic, relapsing disease, characterised by its persistence and the frequent recurrence of weight gain following weight loss. It is linked to chronic diseases and reduced quality of life. Sustainable weight loss requires long-term dietary and behavioural changes. …

An increased protein intake is required during aging to preserve muscle mass. A predominantly plant-based diet is beneficial for the climate and may lower the risk of certain non-communicable diseases, but could also lead to protein below recommendations. This study seeks to elucidate facilitators and …

Tracheostomy is a life-saving procedure with complications often linked to suboptimal tracheostomy tube fit. Customised tubes could reduce these risks, but their development requires precise tracheal morphometric data. This study presents an automated workflow for extracting high-resolution tracheal …

To effectively prepare students for navigating complex societal and sustainability challenges, higher education institutions are increasingly experimenting with transdisciplinary learning environments (TLEs) in which students collaborate with external stakeholders across disciplinary and sectoral boundaries. …
