The purpose of the study is to evaluate the outcomes and midterm follow-up in the mini-gastric bypass in terms of weight loss, resolution of co-morbidities and the impact of different BP-limb lengths.
Health outcomes for people at risk of or suffering from non-communicable lung diseases in low-resource settings will be improved by developing capacity for implementation of evidence-based interventions for prevention, diagnosis and treatment in…
We expect that planned visits at the outpatient clinic are unnecessary due to low percentage of treatment changes. Furthermore, we expect that treatment changes will appear at unplanned visits.
We purposefully selected four interventions, three groups with different roles and six countries because we expect acceptability to differ within these dimensions. There are specific hypotheses (H) for part of the possible contrasts. We will explore…
For the prevention of diabetic foot ulceration, evidence exists to support the use of home-monitoring of foot skin temperature by means of a hand-held infrared skin thermometer. However, the construct validity of skin temperature measurements is…
By using a surgical safety checklist, the incidence of postoperative complications will decrease.
Muscular counterpulsation (MCP) is a new treatment option which seems to improve hemodynamics but might also have positive effects on muscular and vascular function. Additionally, it is non-invasive and does not seem to have relevant side effects.…
A novel approach/algorithm for individualised risk assessment of COPD exacerbations, which integrates both microbiological data and clinical information, improves the accuracy of exacerbation prediction in COPD patients over methods based on…
The hypothesis is that low dose GC therapy exerts its anti-inflammatory effect by virtue of a first-pass effect through the liver. It is difficult to directly address the hypothesis, but there is an indirect way of doing so: if indeed low dose GCs…
Customers of the experimental food banks (poster) use selftests more often as prevention than customers of the control food banks (no poster).
Comparing the tumor tissue of patients with a breast cancer relapse to the tumor tissue of their primary breast cancer may help to identify mechanisms that are responsible for the relapse after exposure to anticancer agents, and thus further our…
We expect that the intervention is also effective on the long term. However, we expect that the depression scores may have increased somewhat, compared to post-treatment.
The first two exons of TRPV1 are deleted in the most common mutation found in cystinosis patients: A large 57 kb deletion. We aim to study TRPV1 expression in cystinosis patients both homozygous and heterozygous for this deletion.
To identify high risk patient groups for development of knee osteoarthritis (OA) in a cohort 9-10 years after meniscus, cruciate ligament and cartilage lesions.
Usage of the 'Moveosiphon' sonothermal sink disinfection device prevents leads to a persistant decrease in colonization with multiresistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Electrical stimulation of the sympathetic pathways by cervical spinal cord stimulation increases cerebral blood flow.
1. Patients with patent stents will have improved AVP and improved flow in CFV; 2. Patients with stent occlusion will have significantly higher AVPs and lower flow in CFV than patients without stent occlusion; 3. (Pain-free) walking distance will…
We hypothesize that the underlying mechanisms of the varying response in multiple parameters within an individual can be attributed to variability in the causal path between drug administration, drug tissue distribution, and tissue receptor…
