Amsterdam UMC starts national study to reduce risk of recurrence of a heart attack Every year, more than 30,000 people in the Netherlands end up in hospital after a heart attack. Some of them have had a heart attack before. There are several medications available that can reduce the risk of a new heart attack, but they are currently not used optimally. In Amsterdam UMC a major study has just begun with the goal of developing a renewed preventive approach.

Arm robots are not the answer for stroke rehabilitation Commercial arm robots are increasingly deployed in order to aid stroke patients in their recovery. Around 80% of patients have problems with their arm function. Robots are also seen as a solution for financial, and staffing, shortcomings in the healthcare sector. However, research led by Amsterdam UMC now shows that they offer no clinically meaningful effects for patients. The research is published today in Neurology.

Amsterdam UMC set to lead large-scale European study into preventing burnout due to stress among staff in and around the operating theatre On average, healthcare professionals involved in surgical procedures and care in hospitals experience more stress and burnout than other professional groups in Europe. An estimated 60% of these caregivers are showing symptoms of burnout, while up to half of nurses are considering leaving their profession. To address this, thanks to a Horizon Grant of almost 6.5 million euros, Amsterdam UMC will lead a European consortium in search of the best solutions to stress.

European first: Double wireless pacemaker implanted at Amsterdam UMC Amsterdam UMC’s Heart Center has completed the first implantation of a double wireless pacemaker took place in a patient in Europe. Cardiologist Louise Olde Nordkamp and professor Reinoud Knops installed the new system, which consists of two mini pacemakers, one in the front of the atrium and one in the front of the ventricle, which communicate with each other via electrical pulses.

It is possible to predict cognitive decline in Alzheimer's Amsterdam UMC's Alzheimer Centre has developed a prediction model that can predict cognitive decline in patients with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to Alzheimer's disease. The next step is developing an app that uses this prediction model, which would represent an important step towards personalised forecasts for patients. The study is published today in the journal Neurology.

Living in poverty due to mental health problems or developing mental health problems because of poverty? It's both. Poverty and mental illness are not only linked, but there is also a causal relationship. This is the conclusion of researchers from Amsterdam UMC, the University of Edinburgh and the University of Modena. Their study shows that while certain mental health issues can hinder financial stability, poverty is also one of the causal factors leading to mental health problems. This study was published today in Nature Human Behaviour.

Anxiety and depression a more common consequence of cardiac arrest for women than for men. Cardiac arrests affect around 350,000 people in Europe each year with less than 20% surviving an out of hospital cardiac arrest. Research from Amsterdam UMC shows that women who survive consequently have greater rates of anxiety and depression. Furthermore, both men and women are affected by negative population-wide changes in socioeconomic status as they age. Suggesting more support is necessary for those who have suffered a cardiac arrest. These results are published today in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality & Outcomes.

Fewer good gut bacteria increase the risk of serious infection The composition of the intestinal flora can predict the chances of developing serious infections such as pneumonia. Researchers from Amsterdam UMC and the University of Turku, Finland, followed more than 10,000 people for 6 years. More than 600 people who had less healthy intestinal flora developed a serious infection, with this leading in some cases to death. The results of the study are published today in The Lancet Microbe.
