Current clinical practice is to perform response evaluation, i.e. examination under general anesthesia (EUA), routinely at 3 months after the end of treatment in patients who underwent chemoradiation for oropharyngeal cancer. Due the high response…
Usage of the 'Moveosiphon' sonothermal sink disinfection device prevents leads to a persistant decrease in colonization with multiresistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
This study has 2 primary objectives: 1) To determine the time point of induction of VEGF expression in the tumour tissue of oesophagus carcinomas during chemoradiation. 2) To determine whether the tumour promoting effects of this induction of VEGF…
The primary objective is to estimate the frequency of subjects with at least one apnoeic episode, defined as respiratory rate ≤6, detected using the respiR8® device for up to 6 hours after surgery. Apnoea is defined as 10 seconds of no breathing…
EUS-guided fiducial placement in pancreatic tumors is a technically successfull and safe procedure. After placement fiducials can be successfully used for highly-accurate delivery of image-guided radiotherapy.
Goal: To investigate what the perceived role in treatment decision making is in patients with a displaced midshaft clavicular fracture. Do patients prefer a more/less active role in making this decision?
Emotional neglect is a serious social problem, with many adverse consequences for the development of children. However, emotional neglect is difficult to identify for pediatricians. Indicators of emotional neglect in children of parents with…
A strategy restricting nebulisation of mucolytics and bronchodilators to patients with sputum plugging is as effective as, but cheaper and safer than, a strategy using routine nebulisation in all intubated and mechanically ventilated ICU patients.
Presence of Group A streptococci in children's throat is associated with worsening or onset of tics
To assess perioperative physical activity and fitness, and muscle strength in cardiac surgical patients and to explore the association with POCD after heart surgery
We hypothesize that age-associated changes of immune function contribute to impaired anti-melanoma immunity and that these changes underlie the higher incidence and the more aggressive behaviour of melanoma in the elderly. We think that the baseline…
While head and neck surgeons aim for a 1 cm healthy tissue margin during resection of OSCC, pathological examination often reveals a smaller margin. Our hypothesis is that this occurs due to shrinkage of mucosa following the resection and due to the…
To dermine the kinetics and spectrum of tumor mutations in the urine and plasma of bladder cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced cancer or systemic therapy for metastatic disease.
We hypothesise a difference in outcome on pain relief in favour of the neurectomy group.
The primary hypothesis is that treatment with baclofen will decrease the risk of relapse in GHB use and increase the duration of abstinence after detoxification in recently detoxified GHB dependent patients Secondary hypotheses include: 1.treatment…
Peroperative fluorescent imaging of the bile ducts will improve visibility and results in early identification of the common bile duct and the cystic duct during laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients at risk for bile duct injury.
It is the aim of the Netherlands Hold me Tight (HmT-NL) study to evaluate effects of 'Hold me Tight', an Emotion Focused Therapy-based relationship enhancement program for groups of couples versus a waitinglist period on relational…
AIM: Establish the clinical value of sentinel node biopsy in patients with multiple breast tumors. Investigate if an intratumoral tracer injection in the additional tumors results in visualization of extra sentinel nodes/extra lymphatic drainage…
Een predictor vinden in de vorm van ferritine bij diagnose/leeftijd bij diagnose die het aantal aderlatingen per jaar in onderhoudsbehandeling van hemochromatose patienten kan voorspellen
