By using a surgical safety checklist, the incidence of postoperative complications will decrease.
To assess the effectiveness of the Xience stent compared to the CYPHER stent in the PCI treatment of all patients in the MCL during 2007- 2008. This study runs parallel with the XAMI study.
We hypothesize that Moroccan-Dutch differ from native-Dutch in stress reactivity. This difference is not explained by group differences in known non-social risk factors for psychosis. Affirmative findings in the current study would support to the…
1. In Barrett Esophagus (BE), probe-based laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) provides better correlation with the histological diagnosis compared to detailed inspection with Narrow Band Imaging (NBI), reducing the high rate of false-positive findings with…
Short-term cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) given by primary health care workers with patients with chronic benzodiazepine use and new patients in the family practice with sleepinsdisorder, hypothised that CBT results in reduction of…
Develop a screening tool to identify children at risk of posttraumatic stress disorder after an accident.
For patients with breast cancer who are not applicable for breast-saving treatment (because of tumor characteristics), who prefer an amputation or who undergo a prophylactic amputation an immediate breast reconstruction is a standard offer. A…
It can be hypothesized that fast track care and/or laparoscopy are associated with less exaggerated inflammatory response during and after surgery resulting in faster recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal motility.
Early recognition of deteriorating patients is key to possible effectiveness of an RRS. Therefore, phased introduction of the afferent limb (aimed at detection) followed up by the implementation of the efferent limb (the Medical Emergency Team) will…
We hypothesize that the WavSTAT optical biopsy system may improve the endoscopists ability to detect and distinguish suspicious lesions in the Barrett oesophagus, while reducing the need for extensive biopsy protocols during surveillance endoscopies…
Het is veilig en haalbaar om in 1-2 gastroscopieen zowel een BDstent te plaatsen als brachytherapie toe te dienen.
The new developed brace gives better correction by higher body brace interface pressures than the gold standard Boston brace.
NAVA (neurally adjusted ventilatory assist) is a newform of artificial respiration, based on the electrical activity of the diafragma. We want to investigate wether there are fysiological differences between the conventional mode and NAVA.
We want to establish an abbreviated, multidimensional, evidence based, diagnostic personalityprotocol within the mental health services. The hypothesis is that the mutidimensional testcombination of VTCI, NEO-FFI and CISS is sufficient reliable and…
1. What are characteristic (neuro)physiological factors of fatigue in disease-free cancer patients? 2. To which degree can these factors be influenced by Cognitive Behavior Therapy?
Approximately 2% of the Dutch elderly population suffers from a major depressive disorder (MDD). Due to a depressed mood and a diminished interest in nearly all activities, MDD has serious consequences for daily living (e.g. withdrawal from social…
The fenestrated Anaconda endograft is safe for durable exclusion of juxta and suprarenal AAA.
1. Curative treatment of primary metastasized rectal cancer includes resection of primary tumor and metastases; 2. Primary tumors in case of metastasized disease are often locally advanced and need downsizing before resection; 3. Systemic treatment…
The aim of this study is to develop and evaluate a patient-oriented treatment decision aid (PTDA) focussing on shared goal-setting and decision making, which is tailored to the needs and capacities of a heterogeneous group of patients with type 2…
The current study evaluates whether accurate optical diagnosis of small colorectal polyps (<10mm) in vivo in a non-expert setting can be achieved, resulting in the omission of formal histopathology, which could make colonoscopy more efficient…
