Pharmacologic optimization of voriconazole; a prospective cluster randomized controlled trial of therapeutic drug monitoring

The objective of this study proposal is to determine whether pharmacologic optimization of voriconazole by means of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) results in improved patient outcomes (efficacy and safety) and is more cost-effective compared to…

Effects of a Neurofeedback Treatment on Psychological, Cognitive and Physiological (EEG) outcomes in patients suffering from cognitive decline

So far, only a few case-studies have been tried using neurofeedback in the treatment of dementia / cognitive decline. These indicate that there are behavioural changes and emotional changes next to cognitive changes. This will be the focus of this…

Defining the optimal exercise program to improve glycemic control in various stages of type 2 diabetes.

In addition to our current research in type 2 diabetes patients on oral blood glucose lowering medication, we would like to assess the glucoregulatory effects of different exercise modalities in the impaired glucose tolerant (pre-diabetes) state and…
