We hypothesize that group medical appointments will enhance adherence to treatment and self-efficacy in patients with sickle cell disease, as well as increase quality of life, and satisfaction with the treating physician and nurse. When performing…
To study the effect of the interaction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibition (started preoperatively and continued 5 days into the postoperative period) and extended local anaesthetic blockade via paravertebral block on postoperative central…
Non-inferiority (defined as < 12.5% increase) of pooled buffy coat-derived PR platelet concentrates (PR-plasma-PCs) compared to plasma (plasma-PCs) in terms of clinical efficacy determined by WHO grade ≥ 2 bleeding complications.
In line with results from recent pharmacological studies, it is expected that: 1. Inhibiting the cholinergic system by Inversine (Mecamylamine Hydrochloride) results in an impairment of disengagement, but will not affect bias; 2. Inhibiting the…
The primary objective is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of bevacizumab to ranibizumab in the treatment of patients with subfoveal CNV secondary to AMD as determined by the change in best-corrected visual acuity in the study eye from baseline to…
The aim of the pilot trial is to: 1. evaluate the potential effectiveness and effect size of the e-support program for parents of children with a chronic kidney disease; 2. to identify outcome measures most likely to capture potential patient…
Suppression of SWS, without changing total sleep time, may affect total energy expenditure (TEE), activity induced energy expenditure (AEE), non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), endocrinological parameters and energy intake.
Pulmonary rehabilitation prior to bariatric surgery is effective by means of outcome (asthma control, complications, recovery, physical condition, quality of life) after the bariatric surgery.
1. In Barrett Esophagus (BE), probe-based laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) provides better correlation with the histological diagnosis compared to detailed inspection with Narrow Band Imaging (NBI), reducing the high rate of false-positive findings with…
We expect that when the developed checklist will be used in de diagnostic proces of children with developmental and/or behavioral disability, the use of pediatric care will be more efficiently used. Over and underdiagnoses of a causal somatic…
This study was therefore designed to determine whether cinnamon lower postprandial blood glucose, and insulin levels in subjects with type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance.
Detection of chronic pain in adolescents by self-report combined with advice from a school nurse will be efficient and effective.
The main hypothesis is that normo-ovulatory women with a deleterious BRCA mutation have lower levels of AMH compared to normal controls, with at least a difference of 0.90 ng/ml, suggesting an effect size of approximately five years in menopausal…
It is expected that the new pre-thickened sip feed is as safe as and well-tolerated as standard sip feed thickened with a commercially available thickener.
The investigational anti-reflux formula will be equivalent to the currently marketed control anti-reflux formula with regard to intestinal tolerance during eight weeks in infants with regurgitation.
A subset of patients with ulcerative colitis have disease limited to only the rectum. Most patients will reach remission with conventional 5-ASA or corticosteroid treatments. However, there have been few studies investigating treatment options in…
The healing of donor site wounds after split-skin grafting can be promoted by the use of one of five specific wound dressing materials as compared in this trial.
1. The effect of cognitive behavioral therapy in internettherapy and face-to-face therapy is larger then without therapy on women with a sexual dysfuntion; 2. The impact of Internet therapy is just as large as the impact of treatment-as-usual (face-…
