The purpose of this study is: 1. To identify clinical and biological predictors for the development of IRIS in HIV infected patients and; 2. To obtain insight into the pathogenesis of this syndrome; 3. To describe the epidemiological pattern of IRIS…
LHB tenotomy does not lead to inferior functional results as compared to LHB tenodesis when performed in conjunction with an arthroscopic repair of a moderately sized rotator cuff (supraspinatus/infraspinatus tendon) tear in patients 50 years or…
General: The transfer-oriented version of HSD, in comparison to the regular version, will have larger and more durable effects on substance use behaviors and their determinants and will have favorable effects on behavior and determinants in four…
It is expected that using the DEM-DISC will decrease the number of unmet needs and increase the number of met needs in people with dementia and their informal caregivers. Informal caregivers using DEM-DISC are expected to feel less burdened and will…
Is a prevention program, based on principles of health behavior change, education about playing-related musculoskeletal disorders and postural training, more effective in preventing and/ or reducing disabilities from musculoskeletal complaints in…

In adult congenital heart disease patients with exercise-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension, treatment with bosentan lowers the mean pulmonary arterial pressure, which may result in improvement of the cardiopulmonary circulation,…
It has been demonstrated that VATS is a good alternative treatment option for chest drainage in children with parapneumonic effusion. Clinical improvement even seems to occur faster after VATS, indicating that when VATS is performed in an early…
The effectiveness of school-based ('Op Volle Kracht') and computerized ('SPARX') depression prevention programs will be tested in a Dutch sample of adolescent girls with elevated depressive symptoms. The programs will be tested…
Exploring QOL, hope, treatment motivition, coping en locus of control of patients considering early clinical cancer trial participation.
The intention to change behavior is related to changes in multiple physiological variables. Thermal comfort and thermal sensation are related to these physiological parameters. Furthermore, the intention of behavior is related to changes in thermal…
We hypothesize that more participants in the experimental condition, who are offered the computer-tailored feedback program, will quit smoking and that these participants will become more physically active compared to the participants in the control…
We hypothesize that the vascularity of the fibroid is associated with: 1. Growth potential of the fibroid; 2. The fibroid size reduction after GnRHa treatment.
8 weeks after the PRF treatment we expect that the electric quantitative sensory testing (eQST) values are higher compared to the eQST values before the PRF treatment. This means that patients can tolerate a higher stimulation threshold. The…
Hyperglycaemia alters the sustained hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) and the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR).
Adding prebiotics or ferments to infant formula may improve digestive comfort in infants. Therefore, the infant formula tested in this study, combining these ingredients, may contribute to improved digestive comfort. In this study it also has been…
The aim of this study is to test, by means of a randomized controlled trial, the hypothesis that application of PAS therapy with low-frequency acoustic vibrations to demented patients in nursing homes will lead to a significant decrease of nocturnal…
Background: Injury rate and injury severity of elderly cyclists due to self-induced cycle accidents increase with age. Starting at the age of 55 years, injury risk increases with a factor 4 at the age of 75 years. Injury mechanisms such as slippery…
Fluorescent near-infrared imaging can be used to identify the ureters using a low dose methylene blue.
Pain Rehabilitation Programs (PRP’s) are proven effective for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). Evidence about the relationship of dose on the effect of PRP however, is unavailable. We hypothesized that shortening PRP will not be…
