ExpertCollege is an eLearning company based in the Netherlands. We create advanced eLearning for nurses and physicians using a unique adaptive learning system. Our eLearning is used in all the university medical centres in the Netherlands to train nurses and physicians, as well as hospitals throughout the Netherlands. ExpertCollege was founded in 2003 and has since then created dozens of advanced eLearning courses for healthcare professionals. We provide a full range of eLearning courses such as ACLS, BLS and ECG (accredited by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, AANP). We would enjoy tailor fitting these courses for you to seamlessly connect with your training program.

Afgelopen 7 september en 6 oktober vond de basistraining β€˜EPA-gestuurd opleiden’ plaats. Naast het feit dat honderden mensen de basistraining live hebben bijgewoond, kregen we vaak de vraag of de training later kon worden teruggekeken. En dat kan!

Creation of medical illustrations and animations by ExpertCollege

At ExpertCollege we have a team of 20 medical illustrators and animators. The team is managed by doctors with knowledge of graphic design.
Our team first studies the background and the learning objectives behind an illustration. A draft version is next compiled using photos and 3D models. Once that phase is done, our artistically skilled illustrators get to work on the final images.
Many of our images are transformed into animations. In this process, our animation team first prepares the so-called "storyboard". An interactive film (or simulation) is then produced using special animation software.

Do you want to find out more about the use of illustrations and animations in our medical e-learning? We will be happy to hear from you.

The kidneys regulate the pH of the body by excreting acidic or basic urine. This process depends on the pH of the blood.

To perform this function, the kidneys take crucial part in the following processes:
1. Excretion of hydrogen ion (H+) (1 mmol/kg body weight/day)
2. Reabsorption of bicarbonate (HCO3-) from the pre-urine in the glomerulus (4000 – 5000 mmol/day)

The pH of the urine depends on the pH of the serum and varies between 4.50 and 8.00. If the pH of the serum becomes low (acidosis), the kidneys start to reabsorb bicarbonate out of the urine. Thereby the urine contains less bicarbonate and the pH of the urine is low. If the pH of the serum increases (alkalosis) the opposite effect occurs.

The term "pH" or "Potential of H (hydrogen)" expresses the acidity of a solution, based on H+ ion regulation. Precise H+ regulation is crucial, as the activity of nearly all enzyme systems in the body are influenced by H+ concentration. pH is related to the H+ concentration, on a logarithm scale, by the following formula: pH = 1/[H+] = - log [H+]

In the animation you can see that the pH is inversely correlated to the H+ concentration. The more acidic a solution is, the lower the pH; therefore, a low pH corresponds to a high H+ concentration, and vice versa.
A pH of 7 is neutral, a pH below 7 is referred to as an acid solution and a pH higher than 7 is referred to as a basic solution.

We have created an easily manageable model to visualize the effect of the acidity in blood on the respiratory system and vice versa.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) plays a major role in the respiratory regulation of the acid-base balance of the body. CO2 is continuously formed in the body as a breakdown product of metabolic processes. Catabolism of glucose is the most significant in this process. When glucose is metabolized CO2 and H20 are formed. The more glucose is burnt, the more CO2 is produced. The more CO2 accumulates in the body, the more acidic the body becomes. This may sound strange at first, since the acidity depends on the concentration of H+ ions. CO2 does not appear to have any H+ ions. So how can the body become acidic from CO2? This is explained by the formula that describes how CO2 reacts with water (H2O) and thus forms carbonic acid (H2CO3). H2CO3 then splits and forms bicarbonate (HCO3–) and H+. This last step clarifies the acidification of the body: H+ ions are released through the reaction of CO2 and H2O. The more CO2 in the body, the more H+ ions in the body and the lower the pH.

A patient is hospitalized in the pulmonary diseases department with a proven pulmonary embolism. The condition of the patient worsens and there is hypotension. The neck veins are distented. Which mechanism causes the hypotension? Describe what happens in the circulatory system. Pay attention: most healthcare professioanls answer this question wrong; it is less simple than it seems.

Osmosis is a process in which there is a net diffusion of water through a semi-permeable wall (only water is allowed through).
When a soluble substance is added to water, the concentration of water in the mixture decreases. So the higher the concentration of dissolved substances, the lower the water concentration.
Water therefore diffuses from areas with a low concentration of dissolved substances (high water concentration) to an area with a higher concentration of dissolved substances (and therefore lower water concentration). The same process also takes place over the (semipermeable) cell membranes. Cell membranes are relatively impermeable to most dissolved particles, but well permeable to water.
