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/…
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.
The aim of the study is the assessment of microcirculatory alterations induced by xenon or sevoflurane anesthesia in patients with compromised left ventricular systolic function.
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…
The general objective of the DECREASE-IV trial is to assess the clinical efficacy of beta-blocker therapy, statin therapy and combination therapy with beta-blockers and statins in patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery.
Adolescence represents a crucial stage in the maturation of executive functioning (e.g. working memory and inhibition) and mental health (i.e. behavioral and emotional functioning, and self-concept), which both are important predictors of academic…
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…
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…
Disturbed chloride secretion in constipated children versus controls.
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…
Independently of their lipid lowering effects statins have been shown to quench markers of vascular inflammation. In an observational study we observed a mild but dose dependent anti -inflammatory effect of intermediate dose statins on vascular…
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.…
Parents who adopt promotion-oriented goals during initiation phase, show better initiation of positive parenting behavior than parents who adopt prevention-oriented goals during initiation phase. Parents who adopt prevention-oriented goals during…
1. After completing real approach bias re-training, participants will show a stronger reduction in approach bias for alcohol than after placebo training (main effect 1); 2. After completing real attentional bias re-training, participants will show a…
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.
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…
