AbstractObjective:The objective of this study was to report on a nine years of experience of providing medical support during house parties (raves) in the Netherlands, where they can be organized legally.Design:This was a prospective, observational study of self-referred patients from 1997 to 2005. During raves, first aid stations are staffed with specifically trained medical and paramedical personnel. Self-referred patients were diagnosed, treated, and recorded using standardized methods.Results:During a nine-year period with 219 raves occurred, involving approximately three million participants, 23,581 patients visited the first aid stations. The medical usage rate (MUR) varied from 59–170 patients per 10,000 rave participants. The mean age increased from 1997 to 2005 from 18.7 ±2.7 to 23.3 ±5.7 years. The mean stay at the first aid station was 18 ±46 minutes. Most health problems were mild. Fifteen cases of severe incidents were observed with one death.Conclusions:Unique data from the Netherlands demonstrate a low number of serious, health-related, short-term problems during raves.

Abstract In 2002, the Netherlands was the first country in the world to legalize euthanasia and physician- assisted suicide. What does the Dutch euthanasia practice look like? What are the insights gained from twelve years of experience in regulating and reviewing euthanasia cases? In this article, some observations about the practice and the backgrounds of euthanasia are made from the perspective of a theological ethicist.

An overview of projects with CP systems in the Netherlands is given, where during a period of 25 years conductive coating was used as an anode. Projects on bridges, viaducts, power plants, apartment and industrial buildings will be presented, with reinforced and pre-stressed concrete, and with the protected elements varying from floors to balconies, beams to abutments and cantilevers to columns. All being monitored for up to 25 years and now presented in one overview showing the possibilities of the application of these types of anode, as well as the thresholds. Measurements on a variety of constructions were carried out during 25 years and show interesting results, enlarging the knowledge on CP with conductive coatings as an anode and the effectiveness of this type of CP systems and its development in time, as determined by the depolarisation values of the system and (protective) current densities. From these measurements conclusions can be drawn and lessons can be learned regarding the use, design, installation and effectiveness of CP systems with conductive coatings as an anode.
