We hypothesize that the underlying mechanisms of the varying response in multiple parameters within an individual can be attributed to variability in the causal path between drug administration, drug tissue distribution, and tissue receptor…
Knee OA is characterized by the presence of crepitus (knee sounds). Therefore, this device is able to record these sounds, while the subject is doing a knee movement, and screen for the presence or absence of osteoarthritis.
To investigate whether patients prefer to be approached by mailed questionnaires for annual follow-up assessment after PCI procedures versus telephone interviews or email-based follow-up
It will be investigated whether passive leg raising and stroke volume variations can be used in predicting renal responses to fluid administration. Our hypothesis is that dynamic predictors of cardiac fluid responsiveness can predict an increase in…
Youth at intermediate vocational education (ROC's) show excessive alcohol and drug use, which can have various detrimental consequences. For this vulnerable group of youngsters a targeted, multicomponent plan of attack was developed in…

1. To establish in a randomised controlled trial if screening for lung cancer by multi-slice low-dose CT in high risk subjects will lead to a 25% decrease in lung cancer mortality; 2. To estimate the impact of lung cancer screening on health…
Onlay and sublay mesh reinforcement after midline laparotomies in patients with an increased risk for the development of incisional hernias (IHs) resulted in less IHs compared to patients that received the conventional closure technique at two years…
The hypothesis is that the metabolic age, representing a health score will be lower after nine weeks of personalized dietary intervention compared to the control arm (without dietary advice). The phenotypic flexibility or resilience (the ability to…
