Focusing on disease-modifying rather than etiologic mechanisms may accelerate the development of novel therapies and complement current research initiatives on causative mechanisms and curative therapies.
Education on guidelines, combined with quality targets within the accreditation procedure improves quality of antibiotic prescribing
Different prevention strategies are used internationally to prevent Early-onset Group B haemolytic streptococcus infection (EOGBS). However, none of the preventive EOGBS strategies in place at present result in the complete prevention of EOGBS,…
Obesity is a growing world wide problem. In The Netherlands, about 10% of all men and women have a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or more. Obesity is a chronic, uncurable metabolic disorder, which is characterised by excessive fatstorage at unfavorable places.…
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether thrombectomy combined with ischemic postconditioning after PCI leads to a smaller myocardial infarction compared to standard therapy.
The purpose of this research is to acquire a better understanding of the pain experience and the recovery of children between 1.5 and 5 years old who underwent a tonsillectomy/adenotonsillectomy. Primary research question: What is the influence of…
The national quality improvement program palliative care will improve quality of palliative care on a national level and the separate trajectories implementing ‘good practices’ will improve quality of palliative care on the regional and…
There is no difference between CT- and MRI-based Patient specific matched instruments for total knee arthroplasty
This research aims to determine factors involved in subfertility and serious pregnancy complications that arise early in pregnancy. Due to increased insight into the pathogenesis of these conditions, primary prevention should ultimately be possible.
Spinal anesthesia induces several alterations in normal brain processes. Firstly, loss of afferent information increases pain sensitivity. In our previous study on the effects of spinal anesthesia (P11.221) we showed that subjects felt more pain…
Application of the SeMaS questionnaire and subsequent personalized self management support will be more effective in enhancing patients’ self management behaviors than care as usual.
To identify high risk patient groups for development of knee osteoarthritis (OA) in a cohort 9-10 years after meniscus, cruciate ligament and cartilage lesions.
We hypothesize that multidisciplinary team training, to support implementation of a structured referral between obstetrical professionals, will result in better collaboration and thereby to a decrease in adverse perinatal outcomes
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.
1. Patients with patent stents will have improved AVP and improved flow in CFV; 2. Patients with stent occlusion will have significantly higher AVPs and lower flow in CFV than patients without stent occlusion; 3. (Pain-free) walking distance will…
