Heat development in the car according to time and outside temperature – Hitzeentwicklung im Auto nach Zeit und Außentemperatur | Statista

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/21

Most PNG/JPEG versions of this get the bottom right corner wrong (it should read 66 Celsius, not 68).

I have colourised the table as most of the PNG/JPEG versions have.

Climbing up from a deep pit it just as admirable as climbing a mountain (via Liz Fosslien)

A while ago in 24 hours time, I bumped into both of these great illustrations about accomplishments that help strengthen your mental state.

Time to give the authors a boost:

Scientists Map The Parts Of The Body Where Touching Is Okay

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/04/19

I wonder what these 2015 heat maps are like now that the Covid-19 crisis seems to be behind us (but for how long?): is shaking hands OK again or do you still perform non-physical greetings?

Missende vaccinaties?

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/04/15

Ik heb voor mezelf samen met de huisarts uitgezocht welke vaccinaties ik miste.

Er zaten een paar dingen tegen:

  1. Geboren in 1969 in Brabant en voor mijn 2e via Stolwijk naar de Bollenstreek (beide Zuid-Holland) verhuisd: meerdere provincies en gemeenten tijdens de eerste fase waarin veel vaccinaties worden gegeven
  2. Ouders die helaas niet mijn vaccinatieboekje hebben bewaard (dat van mijn broer wel)
  3. De meeste regio’s/provincies zijn pas vanaf 1970 of nog later (bijvoorbeeld Rotterdam: 1981) rijksvaccinaties gaan registreren (met als positieve uitzondering Amsterdam, Flevoland, Gelderland en Overijssel bijvoorbeeld sinds 1968)
  4. De regio’s zijn niet exact (dus sommige gemeenten zijn later/eerder gestart dan in het overzicht van regio’s staat aangegeven)
  5. Mazelen zat pas sinds 1976 in het rijksvaccinatieprogramma
  6. Waarschijnlijk heb ik geen mazelen gehad (wel weet ik zeker dat ik waterpokken en dubbelzijdige bof heb gehad; die laatste is net niet overgeslagen op hersenvliesontsteking)
  7. Kinkhoest bescherming door vaccinatie maar beperkte duur heeft, maar het voor mijn gesteldheid erg vervelend zou zijn als ik dat krijg

De afgesproken aanvulling:

Communication can help patients but also harm them when they are confronted with a serious illness (via Twitter: Liesbeth van Vliet)

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/03/15

I reacted to a Dutch [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @NL_Wetenschap on Thread Reader App (which has an excellent Google translation [Wayback/Archive]).

The responses mentioned these two interesting English papers and a nice YouTube video:

I have first hand experience from my cancer treatment period where despite having a companion and emphatic care takers, I did not comprehend large parts of the information.

Two tips:

  1. Ensure you and your caretakers are on the same “wavelength” communicating. If you don’t: politely ask for another caretaker in the team.
  2. Always bring a companion with you that knows your case very well.

The rest of this post is in Dutch containing the original tweets:

A Fatigue Scale by Miss•Treated

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/03/04

Some two years ago, a friend of me having Long-COVID posted about fatigue and the trouble finding a scale for it.

Their Dutch Twitter thread contained the below list which is very useful as it is phrased using concrete terms.
