Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Medical Research
Background:
- The NVVC Spring Congress is a key event in the Dutch cardiovascular research community.
- The Durrer prizes have been awarded annually since 2006 to honor exceptional scientific contributions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the best original/review articles published in 2014.
- To recognize both basic and clinical research in the field of cardiology.
Main Methods:
- Selection of two prize-winning articles from those published in 2014.
- Awarding the Durrer prizes at the 2015 NVVC Spring Congress.
Main Results:
- Two outstanding articles from 2014 were honored with the Durrer prizes.
- One prize was for a basic science paper, the other for a clinical science paper.

02:34Competition
25.5K
When organisms require the same limited resources within an environment, they may have to compete for them. Competition is a net-negative interaction. Even if two competing individuals or populations do not interact directly, the overall fitness of both competitors is lowered as a result of not having full access to the limited resource.

01:23Drag
606
Drag is a resistive force opposing an object’s motion through a fluid, resulting from surface pressure and shear forces. It comprises two components: a perpendicular one from pressure and a tangential one from shear stress. Accurate drag calculations use pressure and wall shear stress distributions, often determined through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) or wind tunnel testing. The drag coefficient, a dimensionless measure, depends on factors like shape, Reynolds number, Mach number,...

34.9K
Nociception—the ability to feel pain—is essential for an organism’s survival and overall well-being. Noxious stimuli such as piercing pain from a sharp object, heat from an open flame, or contact with corrosive chemicals are first detected by sensory receptors, called nociceptors, located on nerve endings. Nociceptors express ion channels that convert noxious stimuli into electrical signals. When these signals reach the brain via sensory neurons, they are perceived as pain.

The nursing history captures and records the patient's health status, so that a care plan evolves to meet the patient's individual needs. The nursing health history is a part of the initial assessment. A comprehensive history covers all health dimensions and plays a significant role in the assessment process. A comprehensive history includes the patient's biographical information, reasons for seeking health care, expectations, present and past health history, medications, and...
