Salt restriction is an effective strategy to attenuate or prevent VEGF inhibitor-induced toxicity, primarily the rise in blood pressure.
Enhanced endoscopic imaging, including high-definition white light endoscopy and virtual chromoendoscopy, alongside targeted biopsies provides an accurate and reproducible assessment of chronic atrophic gastritis disease extent and staging, when…
For patients with stage III-IV irresectable melanoma who have at most 3 metastases, the tumor can be reduced in size by treating with dabrafenib and trametinib for 8 weeks. After this reduction, complete surgery of the tumor could be made possible.
The TORCH screen is often requested by gynecologists, but there rarely is a clinical relevant outcome. Isn’t it better to reduce the test indications or the number of tested infections to make the test more cost effective and clinical relevant? And…
Test weighing using a double-check weighing method is precise in determining infant intake: in more than 90% of weighings test weighing will be within 5ml of the actual amount drunk
We expect that tDCS will enhance speed of language recovery, resulting in improved communication, quality of life and participation - associated with decreased rehabilitation consumption and cost reduction.
Applying to the antibiotic checklist - based on generic quality indicators for the antibiotic treatment of bacterial infections in the hospital - will likely result into better patient care in terms of adequate treatment, duration of intensive care…
The primary endpoint of this study is to assess if myocardial strain and strain rate -measured with tissue Doppler and 2D speckle tracking- determined with TOE is comparable with cardiac strain and strain rate determined with TTE. Secondary…
motivational interviewing can be an effective method to support patients in maken lifestule behavior changes
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a brain disease, in which myelin sheaths in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. If repair of myelin damage is incomplete, nerve terminals will be irreversibly destroyed, leading to neurological symptoms. Ineffective…
Whole Body Vibration (WBV) applied via a chair has positive chronic effects on cognitive function of older people.
We expect brain activity and brain reactivity to change as satiation progresses. ROI are : Brainstem (dorsal vagal complex (DVC), nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), parabrachial nucleus (PBN)), Hypothalamus, Insula, overlying operculum, secondary:…
A 10% point difference between the experimental and control group in HPV-vaccination uptake is expected. Assuming 58% of participants daughters in the control group receive two HPV-injections and a 10% point difference between the experimental and…
We hypothesize that diagnostic accuracy increases when, apart from cytologic samples, material is aspirated for thin layer preparation in endoscopic-ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of masses.
Can imaging surveillance frequency be safely reduced in a select group of EVAR patients, i.e. patients with an asymptomatic infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) that underwent EVAR without abnormalities on the initial postoperative CTA.
The use of ECLS can lead to systemic inflammatory response. It is likely that ECLS affects red blood cell and platelet function after its initiation, the time course of these changes and their clinical relevance is yet unclear.
Neuropsychiatric symptoms (e.g. apathy, depression, anxiety, agitation) are very common in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and are negatively related to various clinical outcomes. However, despite growing…
We hypothesize that anxiety symptoms worsen after follow-up imaging compared to patients baseline anxiety levels.
1. Using a wobble cushion and tangle will lead to improved performance on a math test, reading comprehension test and on a sustained attention test for children with more problems with sensory information processing (both low and high threshold) in…
