Fire protection in cold storages ❄️ = Protection of the supply chains and avoidance of fire-related downtime 👏 Fire in a deep-freeze warehouse seems illogical? Pieter G. Bikker, Managing Director, Benelux at WAGNER Nederland B.V. answered this and other questions last week in his lecture about oxygen reduction to minimize fire risks in refrigerated areas at Nekovri - Nederlandse Vereniging voor Koel- en Vrieshuizen. Curious to dive deeper into the details of causes and risks of fire in deep-freeze storage? Read more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e_UPnGb8

Really exciting face -to-face discussion about the extraordinary 2023 year in GU oncology…. New practice changing and promising ways in renal and urothelial cancer

Unfortunately, the landscape of higher education as well appears to be undergoing a significant transformation, paralleling trends observed in other sectors. It's increasingly evident that soft skills and effective communication are being emphasized over foundational knowledge, even in critical fields such as healthcare and engineering. This shift raises concerns about the long-term implications for professional competence and safety. While adaptability and interpersonal skills are undeniably valuable, the balance between these and core technical expertise must be carefully managed. It's crucial for the development of well-rounded professionals who are equipped to tackle the complexities of their respective domains. I hope this perspective encourages a thoughtful dialogue rather than relegating it to the metaphorical 'yoga corner.' Let's open the floor to diverse viewpoints on how best to navigate this evolution in education and professional development!

👊🏼 30 vs. 50 | Curious about the significant difference between an Emergency Stop at 30 km/h and 50 km/h? In this impressive video from Veilig Verkeer Nederland, you can clearly see how even a small difference in speed affects the stopping distance. 🛣️ And did you know that a slight reduction in speed, from 30 km/h to 50 km/h, within built-up areas can reduce the number of serious traffic accidents by nearly 31%?! Paying attention to Emergency Stops during your driving lessons or afterwards is, therefore, very important. At our driving school, both beginners and experienced drivers (expats/internationals) have the opportunity to practice this crucial skill extensively. We consider it an indispensable part of driver training! Let's work together to promote safer driving. 🚗💨 Safety Scoop!: https://lnkd.in/e7MfHRhv #VeiligVerkeerNederland #SWOV #roadsafety #expatsinthenetherlands

I am very happy with the growing recognition of personalized medicine in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). Our research highlights the importance of personalized treatment plans for natalizumab and ocrelizumab, offering several benefits:  ▪ They lower the burden of treatments, cutting down hospital visits by 30-40% on average. ▪ They reduce the risk of adverse events associated with MS treatments. ▪ They can lower healthcare costs related to MS management. Continued research into personalized treatment in MS is essential, and fortunately, several promising studies are underway: ▪ Liza Gelissen of the Amsterdam UMC – MS Centrum Amsterdam is leading the SUPERNEXT study, a follow-up on personalized extended intervals of natalizumab, allowing participants to extend their treatment intervals further. ▪ Stefan van den Berg from Sanquin is developing a pharmacokinetic model to more accurately estimate natalizumab treatment intervals. ▪ Laura Hogenboom of the Amsterdam UMC – MS Centrum Amsterdam is conducting the BLOOMS study, where patients using ocrelizumab receive extended intervals based on B-cell counts. I am very grateful for the excellent guidance during my PhD from Joep Killestein, Zoé van Kempen, Bernard Uitdehaag, and Theo Rispens, and for the support from our sponsors: Stichting MS Research, Hersenstichting, Innovatiefonds Zorgverzekeraars, Stichting Treatmeds, and our collaboration with Sanquin. Let’s continue pushing the boundaries to influence clinical practice, further paving the road towards a personalized approach. Link thesis: https://lnkd.in/ekheAQrF.
