By using a surgical safety checklist, the incidence of postoperative complications will decrease.
1. Regular physical follow-up can partly be replaced by nurse-led telephone follow-up, with at least similar quality of life (QoL), in breast cancer patients treated with curative intent. ( change in QoL < 5 points) 2. An informative/…
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…
We expect that when the developed checklist will be used in de diagnostic proces of children with developmental and/or behavioral disability, the use of pediatric care will be more efficiently used. Over and underdiagnoses of a causal somatic…
No improvement of fixation failure will be found after the introduction of the TFNA
Vibrotactile feedback from a 'smart' fork reduces the eating rate of a teenage girl suffering from brain damage that causes her not to detect hunger or satiation
We hypothesize that in healthy individuals with Early-life stress (ELS), THC, which directly targets the endocannabinoid system, is more effective than hydrocortisone in improving stress adaptation and extinction learning in an experimental model of…
We hypothesize that age-related changes in hepatic and intestinal drug metabolism affect the pharmacokinetics of paracetamol.
Type 2 diabetes is cause by progressive beta-cell dysfunction against a background of obesity and insulin resistance in susceptible individuals. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma-mediated mechanisms are involved in the…
Develop a screening tool to identify children at risk of posttraumatic stress disorder after an accident.
Training should affect attentional control processes specifically associated with alcohol-related stimuli. As a result, training as an additional treatment on top of CBT should reduce biases to alcohol-associated stimuli which have been linked with…
Main hypothesis of this study is that re-training of an attentional bias for alcohol, decreases the attentional bias for alcoholic stimuli, and that a re-training the automatic approach bias for alcoholic stimuli decreases this cognitive bias.…
Comparison of two new techniques for detection of small bowel pathology: MR enteroclysis and videocapsule enteroscopy with double-balloon enteroscopy with respect to diagnostic yield, accuracy of findings, and patient preference.
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…
The carotid artery reactivity-test will have independent prognostic value compared to the current, standard prognostic tests (i.e. ankle-brachial-index, walking distance) for patients with peripheral artery disease
We have observed severe venous air and paradoxical gas embolism using trans-oesophageal echocardiography (TOE) in a patient undergoing bipolar trans cervical resection of the endometrium. Although venous emboli during monopolar hysteroscopic surgery…
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…
Evaluation of efficacy and safety of two different formulas of alfa-Galactosidase A, agalsidase beta (FabrazymeTM) and agalsidase alpha (ReplagalTM) in an equal dose of 0,2 mg/kg in order to detect any differences between these two drugs.
A 10% point difference between the experimental groups and control group in MPV uptake is expected.
