This study reports the results from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, sulodexide macroalbuminuria (Sun-MACRO) trial, which evaluated the renoprotective effects of sulodexide in patients with type 2 diabetes, renal impairment, and significant proteinuria (.900 mg/d) already receiving maximal therapy with angiotensin II receptor blockers. The primary end point was a composite of a doubling of base- line serum creatinine, development of ESRD, or serum creatinine $6.0 mg/dl. We planned to enroll 2240 patients over approximately 24 months but terminated the study after enrolling 1248 patients. After 1029 person-years of follow-up, we did not detect any significant differences between sulodexide and placebo; the primary composite end point occurred in 26 and 30 patients in the sulodexide and placebo groups, respec- tively. Side effect profiles were similar for both groups. In conclusion, these data do not suggest a renopro- tective benefit of sulodexide in patients with type 2 diabetes, renal impairment, and macroalbuminuria.

Nodifferences were found in the side effect profiles of sulodexide and placebo and, im- portantly, no serious adverse effects were ascribed to the trial drug. It is important to emphasize that the decision to curtail this trial was not because the Data Safety Monitoring Com- mittee of the CSG had concerns regarding drug toxicity or adverse clinical outcomes. Although the study design required 2240 patients to detect a 20% effect regarding the primary endpoint of doubling initial serum creatinine or ESRD, it is important to note that the secondary outcome of a decrease in proteinuria only required 300–500 patients, a number well below the 1248 patients ran- domized and followed in this trial.

The Province of Groningen sees an important role for green hydrogen • For greening the chemical sector (raw material). • As a fuel in heavy mobility (buses, trains, trucks, ships, aircraft). • As an essential piece of the puzzle regarding energy transition (storage, transportation). • This will also create new economic opportunities and employment. Pilot The trial runs were done on the track between Groningen and Leeuwarden during nighttime for a period of two weeks, with a passenger train running on green hydrogen. During the tests, the train ran a number of times at normal speed – without passengers – alternately as an intercity- and a local train – between the stations of Groningen and Leeuwarden. By these trial runs, practical experience was gained in running on hydrogen. This was the first time a train ran on hydrogen in the Netherlands. The tests focused on, among other things, the actual running, fuel consumption, and refueling.

That is how you could describe the Groningen Province House. No. 12 Martinikerkhof is the ‘old’ Province House, which houses the State Hall where the Provincial Council has met since 16 June 1602. That is unique for the Netherlands. No other province has used the same assembly hall for so long. The connection with the present is formed by the aerial bridge to the ‘new’ Province House. This section of the Province House was designed by the architect Mels Crouwel and was opened on 7 May 1996 by Queen Beatrix. Both buildings have their own ambiance, their own history and their own works of art. The painting ‘Religion and Freedom’ by Hermannus Collenius (1650-1723) hangs in the State Hall and paintings by the artistic movement De Ploeg are in the building on the Martinikerkhof. The new section features work by contemporary artists such as Rebecca Horn. Her ‘The ballet of the viewers’ hangs in the hall. The binoculars observe the entrance hall and look out, through the transparent façades, to the outside world. But there is a lot more to see. And this brochure tells you everything about the past and present of the Province House.

  • CHRISTIAEN COEVERSHOFF (Groningen 1595– the Hague 1659)
    CHRISTIAEN COEVERSHOFF (Groningen 1595– The Hague 1659) “Elegant Portrait of a Young Boy with Amulet” oil on panel 97.7 x 74.7cm Signed Work and Dated Work with Inscription “Aetatis sua jen fen ha anno 1633” For the month of November, the Soraya Cartategui Gallery is pleased to present you this very special and delicate portrait by the enigmatic Dutch painter Christiaen Coevershoff. The artist was born in Groningen in 1595 and died in The Hague at the age of sixty-four. Coevershoff specialized in portraiture and Christian religious representations and was most active in the cities of Amsterdam, Enkhuizen, and The Hague. Documentation of the time show that Christiaen Coevershoff was married to Janneke Seghers in Amsterdam in 1617. After having children in 1619 and 1621, the family disappeared from Amsterdam. A notarial act of 1639 shows that Coevershoff was then living in the city of Enkhuizen, where he produced some signed portraits. Further documentation indicates that Coevershoff was remarried in The Hague, but under the alias of Cornelis Jansz van Groningen and without indication of his previous marriage. It is likely that he took an assumed name to avoid paying the maternal portion to his daughter. Furthermore, despite his rather tenuous financial condition, Coevershof appropriated the title of Joncheer (a Dutch honorific of nobility) and changed his age. He second wife was Catharina Hellemans, daughter of the goldsmith and jeweler Cornelis Hellemans. In 1656, Couvershoff was one of the founding members of the Confrerie Pictura in The Hague. He died between January 28 and August 26 in 1659 at approximately 63 years old.
