Office endometrial sampling is not suitable to diagnose EIN due to the small amount of tissue obtained.
the aim of this study is to compare two strategies that present a large contrast in the stimulation dosage, i.e. a high dosage of stimulation versus a low dosage of stimulation. Our study is designed to objectively compare the ongoing pregnancy rate…
1. To determine the reproducibility and sensitivity of the Energy Cost of Walking test (ECWT) in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, in comparison with the reproducibility and sensitivity of the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT); 2. To evaluate the 1-…
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…
It is expected that coblation treatment has an effect on knee cartilage quality in patients with meniscal lesions and cartilage loosening of the knee
A postoperative retransfusion system is most effective in terms of allogeneic blood transfusion rates when in situ for maximum of 6 hours after major orthopaedic surgery.
We expect that patient who receive care according to the protocol about 24/7 availability of specialized palliative care in the home situation, during the year of the study will die more often at home than patients in the years before start of the…
We hypothesize that exogenous, enterally provided glutamine contributes substantially to the de novo synthesis of arginine in critically ill patients.
Part 1: effect of depth of anesthesia on motor evoked potentials in spinal surgery Primary Objective: To determine the effect of depth of anesthesia, quantified by pEEG, on the characteristics of TES-MEP measurements in spinal surgery. Hypothesis:…
In general practices, proactive care for potentially frail older people with the use of Utrecht Periodic Risk Identification and Monitoring (UPRIM) and the use of a Geriatric Nurse Primary Care (GNPC) will result in better daily functioning in…
Previous randomised trials have shown the efficacy of etanercept in RA patients. In this study we will evaluate the respons of etanercept in anti-TNF naive patients compared to patients who have failed other anti-TNF. We will look for clinical…
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…
This study aims to establish a plasmakinetic profile of GABA from tomatoes in healthy men and compare it to the kinetic profile of GABA from a supplement. In addition, the effects of glutamate (precursor of GABA) on the plasma-time curves of GABA…
A previous caesarean section does affect the reproductive outcomes including live births in women after In Vitro Fertilization or Intracytoplasmic Sperma Injection.
Two hypotheses will be tested. First, we expect parents in the experimental group, who drink as well as those who abstain from alcohol, to use more alcohol-specific socialization strategies than parents in the control group. Second, we expect that…
Primary Objective: The primary aim of the current study is to examine whether CFT is effective for reducing self-criticism in patients with PDs or PTSD. We hypothesize that CFT reduces the level of self-criticism. Secondary Objective(s): To examine…
Patients with a wrist trauma represent a substantial part of the patient population at the Emergency Department. Most hospitals routinely carry out a radiological examination of patients following wrist trauma to exclude a distal radius/ulna…
Missing doses and early discontinuation are two levels of inadequate drug adherence. Multidisciplinary interventions may improve adherence. We hypothesize that in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) certain modalities or durations of care are…
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the implementation strategy on level of implementation of palliative care and the effects on patient, informal caregiver and professional outcomes. It is hypothesized that implementation of…
A disease management approach to depression and anxiety in primary care patients with diabetes mellitus, asthma and/or COPD will result in reduced symptoms of depression and/or anxiety, better quality of life, less disease specific distress, better…
