The gastric balloons are expected to remain in the stomach for approximately four weeks, after which they burst and are fecally excreted. It is further hypothesised that intragastric balloons can provide a surrogate stomach fill, inducing an…
The RAINBOW study: Rheumatoid Arthritis ImplemeNtation of Biological dose Optimization in real World
We hypothesize that a multifaceted implementation strategy can stimulate the use of tight control and bDMARD dose optimization in clinical practice, measured by decreased bDMARD use and non-inferiority on disease activity at 18 months.
1. It is hypothesized that participation in the Active plus program contributes to an increase in physical activity behaviour among older adults; 2. Additionally receiving physical and social environmental information results in an extra increase…

As EGFR plays a role in pathogenesis of both pulmonary arterial hypertension and systemic sclerosis, EGFR inhibition will lead to beneficial effects in disease course.
The aim of this study is to assess the predictive value of the HowRwe questionnaire in relation to the EUROPEP questionnaire by analyzing scores acquired in Dutch GP practices. We expect that high HowRwe scores are associated with an positive…
We hypothesize that the circulatory and cardiac effects of TEA will be most pronounced during circumstances of increased sympathicotonus, which will be induced by an exercise test on a bicycle.
