.Currently, vacuum-assisted drainage and closed drainage using redon catheters are widely accepted methods for the treatment of mediastinitis. However, it is unknown which technique is considered to be the most effective. We hypothesize that closed…
The objective of this study is to get insight in the effect of the Cardio Thoracic Harness for men and the Cardio thoracic bra for women. The harness and the bra possibly have an important role in pain management. The producer of the harness and the…
Primary objectives1. What is the pulmonary function and exercise tolerance in children born with esophageal atresia at the age of 8-18 years (group I), determined by spirometry, measurement of lung volumes and a maximal exercise test. 2. What is the…
Aim of the preceding study is to explore the applicability and feasibility of a rehabilitation program for improvement of complaints of fatigue in liver transplant recipients.
The goal of this prospective, randomised controlled trial is to compare outcomes after a BIOPRO® hemi prosthesis or a modified Keller resection arthroplasty for the treatment of hsymptomatic hallux rigidus patients.
To identify if soft tissue correction of the MTP joints compared to resection of the metatarsal heads (Hoffman's procedure), in patients suffering from reumatoid arthritis, has better outcome; in both study groups PIP resection artroplasty and…
Primary: To determine whether medical management improves long-term outcomes of patients with unruptured BAVMs compared to invasive therapy (with endovascular procedures, neurosurgery, or radiotherapy, alone or in ombination). The trial has been…
