Denkreflex on Twitter: “CN Pandemie / Trauma Wir sollten manchmal gnädiger mit uns sein. !B “

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/02/23

This was so much me from early 2022 to mid 2022: [Wayback/Archive] Denkreflex on Twitter: “CN Pandemie / Trauma Wir sollten manchmal gnädiger mit uns sein. !B”

  1. Heart carrying a large brick titled “past trauma”
  2. Heart also carrying smaller bricks “bad news”, “pandemic” and “stress”
  3. Heart trying to step over a “minor inconvenience”
  4. Heart breaking down and brains with glasses telling the heart “I think you’re overreacting”

Why can’t we have nice things: ZorgDomein email subject has no ID in them, nor responds on Social Media on improvement suggestions

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/12/13

The drawback sending out emails all with the same subject is that the receiver is having a hard time setting them apart.

Especially in the work or medical realm this makes people miss crucial information.

Worse are organisations broadcasting on Twitter, but not responding at all to improvement suggestions. [Wayback/Archive] @ZorgDomein / Twitter gets both wrong (and is also unusually hard to find phone contact information for on their web-site):

Derk Runhaar 🩺 on Twitter: “Huisartsen slaan terug met bureaucratie: we kunnen de aanvragende instantie niet helpen aan een schriftelijke verklaring zonder dat deze instantie vooraf deze schriftelijke verklaring invult. (Via @DokterRins)” / Twitter

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/11/21

Vorig jaar kwam er een licht ironische tweet langs met plaatjes van een verklaring voor paarse-krokodil-organisaties: [Wayback/Archive] Derk Runhaar 🩺 on Twitter: “Huisartsen slaan terug met bureaucratie: we kunnen de aanvragende instantie niet helpen aan een schriftelijke verklaring zonder dat deze instantie vooraf deze schriftelijke verklaring invult. (Via @DokterRins) “

Omdat het soms toch handig kan zijn een vergelijkbaar formulier naar een bureaucratische moloch te kunnen opsturen hier de tekst van onderstaande plaatjes:

Chemopomp | Home

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/11/17

Back when I had chemo in 2020 because of recum cancer metastases in the liver, the below Hepatic Arterial Infusion Pump (HAIP) alternative was not available yet. It means that current generations of Dutch patients have an improved method of treatment that hopefully helps increase their chances of survival.

The circadian immune system: A recent @SciImmunology Review highlights the benefits of morning vaccination compared with afternoon/evening vaccination in humans.

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/12/18

Paper: [Wayback/Archive] The circadian immune system

Abstract

The immune system is highly time-of-day dependent. Pioneering studies in the 1960s were the first to identify immune responses to be under a circadian control. Only in the last decade, however, have the molecular factors governing circadian immune rhythms been identified. These studies have revealed a highly complex picture of the interconnectivity of rhythmicity within immune cells with that of their environment. Here, we provide a global overview of the circadian immune system, focusing on recent advances in the rapidly expanding field of circadian immunology.

Thinking about you today Paweł

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/12/13

Today it is 5 years ago that Paweł passed away. For me it is hard to believe that I’m still around and this post feels like yesterday: R.I.P. Paweł Głowacki – you will be dearly missed, not just in the Delphi community

Thinking about you today Paweł!

Illustrations for Bowel resection for colorectal cancer

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/06/24

I finally found some great illustrations having to do with my lower anterior resection.

They are from [Wayback/Archive] https://www.uvmhealth.org/healthwise/topic/zm6206 (Bowel resection for colorectal cancer)

The most important for me is this one (as I have end-to-side where “end” is on the very tiny bit of rectum left and “side” is on the descending colon):
