The objective of this study is to demonstrate the influence of pectus excavatum on the anaerobic threshold during exercise. This could be an objective measurement of exercise intolerance. An objective measurement of exercise intolerance can later…
1. Esophageal ultrasound guided (EUS-B) sampling of intrathoracic lymph nodes has a14% higher granuloma detection rate compared to endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)guided nodal sampling in patients with suspected sarcoidosis stage I/II.2. 25G ProCore…
Objective of the study is to evaluate efficacy of VZV vaccination in lung transplantation patients, intended to prevent morbidity by VZV infection. Efficacy of vaccination will be measured by means of determining cellular immunity to VZV. Cellular…
We hypothesize that speckle tracking sonography of the diaphragm is a potential non-invasive method to evaluate diaphragm function. The objective is to evaluate whether speckle tracking sonography of the diaphragm gives a good representation of…
I. To evaluate what the impact is of posterior scoliosis correction on respiratory muscle function (strength, endurance, power and work of breathing).II. To evaluate the relation of changes in respiratory muscle function, due to the posterior…
To evaluate the ability of the IL-2 scan tot detect the presence of acute rejection in the transplanted lungs and the correlate the uptake of IL-2 with the histopathological findings after transbronchial biopsy.
Primary Objective: To study the options of the PulmoVista 500 system to visualize regional real-time lung ventilation in healthy volunteersResearch questions:- Can the PulmoVista 500 system provide sufficient information regarding regional lung…
To evaluate the impact of inter-fraction tumour and organ geometrical dislocation for moving tumours on photon and proton radiotherapy treatment plans in order to create robust intensity modulated photon- and/or proton treatment plans.
To assess the recurrence of hiatal hernia five to ten years after repair using sutures versus sutures reinforced with non-absorbable mesh.
The primary objective is to investigate the coordination (functional and timing) between the different respiratory muscles in ICU patients under mechanical ventilation during assisted breathing and during a spontaneous breathing trial. To this end,…
Part 1: The main objective of the first part of the study is to determine the most optimal method for DIBH (active breathing control vs voluntary coached) and its reproducibility. Based on these findings, one of these methods will be selected for…
1). Develop a model in which the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi) is used to predict the transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) 2) Assess to which degree this model is accurate in estimation Pdi-derived parameters (such as work of breathing…
It is not known whether recurrent wheeze in preterm children is caused by RSV infection (serial hypothesis) or that RSV infection is the first indication of chronic airway morbidity that would develop anyway (parallel hypothesis). This study aims to…
The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether electrical stimulation applied to the abdominal wall muscles in synchrony with exhalation can be feasible to prevent the development of atrophy of the abdominal wall muscles during the…
