Oxidative stress and repetitive element methylation changes in artisanal gold miners occupationally exposed to mercury.

Heliyon

Narváez DM, Groot H, Diaz SM, Palma RM, Muñoz N, Cros MP, Hernández-Vargas H.
PMID: 28948237
Heliyon. 2017 Sep 12;3(9):e00400. doi: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2017.e00400. eCollection 2017 Sep.

Mercury (Hg) exposure is a public health concern due to its persistence in the environment and its high toxicity. Such toxicity has been associated with the generation of oxidative stress in occupationally exposed subjects, such as artisanal gold miners....

Building a taxonomy of integrated palliative care initiatives: results from a focus group.

BMJ supportive & palliative care

Ewert B, Hodiamont F, van Wijngaarden J, Payne S, Groot M, Hasselaar J, Menten J, Radbruch L.
PMID: 26647043
BMJ Support Palliat Care. 2016 Mar;6(1):14-20. doi: 10.1136/bmjspcare-2014-000841. Epub 2015 Dec 08.

BACKGROUND: Empirical evidence suggests that integrated palliative care (IPC) increases the quality of care for palliative patients and supports professional caregivers. Existing IPC initiatives in Europe vary in their design and are hardly comparable. InSuP-C, a European Union research...

Effect of diabetes status and hyperglycemia on global DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation.

Endocrine connections

Pinzón-Cortés JA, Perna-Chaux A, Rojas-Villamizar NS, Díaz-Basabe A, Polanía-Villanueva DC, Jácome MF, Mendivil CO, Groot H, López-Segura V.

Endocr Connect. 2017 Nov;6(8):708-725. doi: 10.1530/EC-17-0199. Epub 2017 Oct 09.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by oxidative stress that could lead to chronic micro- and macrovascular complications. We hypothesized that some of the target organ damage is mediated by oxidative alterations in epigenetic mechanisms involving DNA methylation...

CCR2 and coronary artery disease: a woscops substudy.

BMC research notes

Dow DJ, McMahon AD, Gray IC, Packard CJ, Groot PH.
PMID: 20181074
BMC Res Notes. 2010 Feb 02;3:31. doi: 10.1186/1756-0500-3-31.

BACKGROUND: Several lines of evidence support a role for CCL2 (monocyte chemotactic protein-1) and its receptor CCR2 in the development of atherosclerosis. The aim of the present study was to determine the association of the CCR2 Val64Ile polymorphism with...

Complex agro-ecosystems for food security in a changing climate.

Ecology and evolution

Khumairoh U, Groot JC, Lantinga EA.
PMID: 22957173
Ecol Evol. 2012 Jul;2(7):1696-704. doi: 10.1002/ece3.271.

Attempts to increase food crop yields by intensifying agricultural systems using high inputs of nonrenewable resources and chemicals frequently lead to de-gradation of natural resources, whereas most technological innovations are not accessible for smallholders that represent the majority of...

Partial neuromuscular blockage to promote weaning from mechanical ventilation in severe ARDS: A case report.

Respiratory medicine case reports

Somhorst P, Groot MW, Gommers D.
PMID: 30245971
Respir Med Case Rep. 2018 Sep 15;25:225-227. doi: 10.1016/j.rmcr.2018.09.008. eCollection 2018.

Spontaneous breathing efforts during mechanical ventilation can lead to patient self-inflicted lung injury (P-SILI). In order to prevent P-SILI, patients are generally heavily sedated and receive muscle relaxation, resulting in a slower weaning process. We present a case in...

Dementia and Parkinson's Disease: Similar and Divergent Challenges in Providing Palliative Care.

Frontiers in neurology

van der Steen JT, Lennaerts H, Hommel D, Augustijn B, Groot M, Hasselaar J, Bloem BR, Koopmans RTCM.
PMID: 30915012
Front Neurol. 2019 Mar 11;10:54. doi: 10.3389/fneur.2019.00054. eCollection 2019.

Dementia and Parkinson's disease are incurable neurological conditions. Patients often experience specific, complex, and varying needs along their disease trajectory. Current management typically employs a multidisciplinary team approach. Recognition is growing that this team approach should also address palliative...
