Primary Objective:Pilot study: Selection of the titanium derivatives which are capable of penetrating the skin, and thus can be used in the full study as patch test materials.Full study: To compare the results of three different diagnostic tests…
To establish the incidence and consequences (impairments op body functions, limitations in participation) of traumatic brain injury in children and youth in a region of The Netherlands as well as the incidence of the same symptoms in a group of…
In this study we want to investigate if there are differences in cytokine and mFABp production when using a rigid and a soft-layered spineboard, in relation to tissue-interface pressures. Furthermore, redness of the skin and experienced comfort are…
The aim of this study is to determine the immediate effects of oral alcohol consumption in healthy volunteers on gut wall integrity as measured by Intestinal Fatty Acid Binding Protein (I-FABP) and Lipopolysaccharide Binding Protein (LBP) These…
Our primary objective is to compare the short-term (one-year follow-up) clinical results of the DePuy Delta Xtend reversed shoulder prosthesis with conservative treatment, in the management of displaced four-part fractures of the proximal humerus of…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate if there are differences in the tissue-interface pressures, pressures inside the tissues and tissue deformation in the sacral area when volunteers lie on a regular spineboard versus a vacuum…
This study will determine the concentration of benzo[a]pyrene before and after EVLA.
Measuring the forces exerted on upper en lower teeth during classic (direct) and (indirect) (video)laryngoscopy.
Measuring the space on the right side of the videolaryngoscope blade and the palatopharyngeal wall in a cohort of ASA I-III patients with a normal mouth opening (Mallampati I, II and III). We also want to investigate how this space differs from the…
1) to assess possible confounding factors in measuring neuromuscular control of the ankle with a *single-leg stance wobble board* test2) to compare neuromuscular ankle control with the *single-leg stance wobble board* test between individuals with…
This study aims to investigate differences in spatiotemporal properties of the active movements in of the cervical spine in the sagittal plane in chronic WAD patients and healthy controls.
The study objectives are to measure the impact of swimming in chlorinated water on the upper and lower airways of children with and without *doctors diagnosed asthma* by means of the following methods: 1.Tympanometry after otoscopy 2.Airway…
To measure the percentage HbCO and the content of cotinine in the urine and the blood of passive smokers.
the aim of the proposed study is to assess the load of anatomical hip, knee and ankle joints in people that use one leg prosthesis for sprinting. The loading of both ipsi- (if present) and contralateral joints will be assessed.
The aim of this study is to assess biomechanical properties after a calcaneal fracture, and compare these data tot the radiological and functional outcome parameters. Hereby comparing healthy subjects to patients who were treated with ORIF (open…
The objectives of this study are to identify new prognostic factors for recovery after moderate/severe TBI and based on these factors to develop a grading scale for the post-traumatic disturbances of various cognitive and behavioural functions, in…
To analyse sensibility of the stump in adults with an acquired upper extremity amputation and compare the sensibility with the corresponding part of the contralateral arm and the contralateral fingers. Sensibility of the non-affected arm and fingers…
The objective of our observational clinical trial is to quantify the apoptosisrates of fibroblasts and growth-factorchanges in hypertrophic (burn) scars treated with pressure and/or silicone therapy.
To test the hypothesis stated above, we propose to study the dose-response relationship between various chemostimulants and PMN functions of major trauma patients and patients undergoing major surgery in vitro, both early after the initial trauma or…
To assess the effects of dexamphetamine with and without alcohol on simulated driving performance.
