Continuous positive airway pressure on the deflated lung prevents total alveolar collapse, resulting in less local and systemic cytokine response, causing less pulmonary complications.
1. ICVAD removal, followed by six months of silicone gel sheet use, will result in a scar width within the normal range, and normal scar structure, and thus will be superior to two months of silicone gel sheets and no gel sheets; 2. A smaller and/…
We hypothesize that e-health, consisting of internet guided monitoring and self management training online, for patients with atopic dermatitis combines cost savings with an improvement in quality of life.
Measurement of airways hyperresponsiveness by mannitol (Aridol©) as compared to methacholine saves time to the lung function technician, while being as sensitive to discern hyperresponsive from normo-responsive, and being at least equally acceptable…
Correction of sub-clinical prolongation of coagulation tests (i.e., PTT between 14.7 – 20 seconds and platelets < 100 x 109/L) and transfusion of platelets in patients with Ascal®, significantly decreases the incidence of clinical significant…

Our hypothesis is that peroperative fluid restriction will lead to a significant reduction of solid phase gastric emptying time ¨C measured by radionuclide scintigraphy-, and a reduction in its related postoperative complications.
A randomized controlled trial of geriatric liaison intervention in frail surgical oncology patients.
The primary objective of this study is to show that early detection of geriatric patients at risk of preventable functional decline following a surgical procedure under general anesthesia for a solid tumor, combined with a geriatric liaison…
A health education program for both patients and general practitioners will change behaviour by 15%.
Our hypothesis is that rebound thrombin generation occurs in ICU-patients after abrupt cessation of heparin treatment in terms of elevation of coagulation-markers and reduction fibrinolysis-markers; IV-weaning of heparin reduces this rebound…
To determine the effect on HbA1c of a disease-specific enteral formula compared to an isocaloric standard enteral formula (control) in type 2 diabetic patients after 12 weeks of supplementation.
Local corticosteroid injections combined with usual care will have a positive effect on experienced recovery and will reduce pain at 3 and 12 months follow up compared to usual care alone.
There is a clinically and statistically significant difference in the percentage of patients who achieve and maintain clinical remission (defined as DAS < 1.6) and in functional ability and progression of radiological joint damage after 1…
Psychological factors (e.g. personality style) influence the course of CRPS-I but not the onset of this syndrome.
