We hypothesize that exogenous, enterally provided glutamine contributes substantially to the de novo synthesis of arginine in critically ill patients.
The hypothesis is that low dose GC therapy exerts its anti-inflammatory effect by virtue of a first-pass effect through the liver. It is difficult to directly address the hypothesis, but there is an indirect way of doing so: if indeed low dose GCs…
Spinal anesthesia induces several alterations in normal brain processes. Firstly, loss of afferent information increases pain sensitivity. In our previous study on the effects of spinal anesthesia (P11.221) we showed that subjects felt more pain…
We hypothesize that the UC Diet (UCD) can improve induction of remission rates when administered with a 5ASA regimen to pediatric patients with mild-moderate UC vs. 5ASA regimen alone.
Paricalcitol induce a more effective reduction of the PTH level compared to alfacalcidol at hemodialysispatients with secondary hyperparathyroidism
Objective: To compare endoscopic pancreatic fluid collection drainage using a standard oblique-viewing US endoscope versus a prototype forward viewing ultrasonic endoscope with emphasis on ease of endoscopic drainage measured by procedural time.
The current study focusses on 1) transfer of a skill trained in two virtual environments with different feedback on actual performance to performance with a myoelectrically controlled hand prosthesis, 2) comparing the ability of switching with the…
We will investigate the relationship between S(+)-ketamine plasmaconcentrations and its analgesic effect to estimates the onset/offset times of ketamine and potency parameters for various analgesia tests. This will allow the safer administration of…
Atherosclerosis is characterized by a persistent inflammation of the arterial wall. Monocyte-derived macrophages are the most abundant immune cells in atherosclerotic plaques. It has recently been shown that not only immune cells of the adaptive…
The amino acid bioavailability of the Test Product is equivalent to Comparator Product 1
Primary Objective: Aim of the study is to investigate whether sulodexide treatment reverses damage of the systemic glycocalyx in patients with DM type II. The effect of sulodexide will be addressed in this prospective cross-over study measuring…
The aim was to study the effect of apple cider vinegar on the rate of gastric emptying on insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients with diabetic gastroparesis.
Competitive Memory Training (COMET) will improve self-esteem, anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms and behavior problems in youth with ASD.
We hypothesize that the algorithm based on the Daily Symptom Diary and bracelet in combination will perform better at detecting SARS-CoV-2 infection in general and, in the case of symptomatic infection, earlier than the algorithm based solely on the…
The 3 new developed prototype electric brush heads (A,B,C) remove 15% more plaque compared to a EB17 brush head
Hypothesis: arterial oxygen concentrations induce dose-dependent hemodynamic and microcirculatory changes during oxygen supply in mechanically ventilated, post cardiac surgery, ICU patients. Aim: In this study we want to investigate the effects of…
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique that alters cortical excitability. A recent study in anaesthetized cats showed that tDCS also facilitates subcortical neurons. Here, we hypothesize that…
It is hypothesized that foods that have an intrinsic nutrient-rich matrix are less susceptible to changes in reward value due to replacing the sugar content than foods that have intrinsic a nutrient-empty matrix. Thus we expect that the reward value…
Pain is an unpleasant experience with a multifactorial aetiology. It is feared by most people undergoing surgery. In the postoperative period pain is controlled using many different drugs. All of these drugs have their own adverse events. Ideally…
