PD-L1 is up to now the only marker that has been validated for the selection of patients treated for non-small cell lung cancer who might benefit from the treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. Thus far, PD-L1 status is assessed with histology, being…
Firstly, we hypothesise that Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for diabetes patients will reduce depressive symptoms and will increase diabetes self-care behaviour. Furthermore, we explore the underlying operating mechanisms of ACT. We…
Performing a standard laboratory package prior to the first visit to the outpatient clinic rather than performing laboratory tests afterwards will lead to a shorter time until the diagnosis has been established.
Vitamin D plays an integral role in calcium and phosphorus homeostasis. A low vitamin D status can occur as a result of reduced synthesis due to lack of sun exposure, decreased intake or absorption, increased hepatic catabolism, or decreased…
Short-term (1-year) results of renal transplantation are now excellent (over 95%). Long-term (10-year and longer) results are, however, still disappointing. Where most research has focused on immunosuppression and infections, we hypothesize that due…
Deep neuromuscular block has advantages over a moderate neuromuscular block in term of outcome (pain, respiration) but has otherwise no effects on the patient
Early mobilisation, i.e. 6 hours after vascular closure after TF-AVI procedure, will maximize comfort, lower pain complaints, lower infection rate and raise overall patient wellbeing after TAVI-procedure without extreme increase in vascular…
It is safe and feasible to use the Con-Cord table for the ABC approach for stabilisation of preterm infants at birth.
this study will contribute to the implementation of shared decision making in the field of hand therapy, by mapping experiences with the application of shared decision making in current practice and by getting insight information in needs and…
Decreased levels of vitamin D is associated with the occurence of peripheral neuropathy in multiple myeloma patients.
Currently, the effects of nutrition or specific food components, including those on absorption or metabolism, are mostly studied via parameters in blood samples. To reduce the burden for participants of nutritional intervention studies, there is a…
The main objective of this study is to compare motion detection thresholds in glaucoma patients with healthy subjects as a function of oscillation frequency and luminance.
Due to the increased clinical awareness concerning the subject of BIA-ALCL, we expect to report a higher incidence of this disease anno 2015/2016
An inpatient brace adaptation protocol increases therapy compliance and brace comfort for the patient compared to an outpatient brace adaptation protocol.
We hypothesize that the deformation-volume loop will help to identify the consequences of aortic stenosis and the changes in functionality after aortic valve replacement (AVR)
