If the hypotheses of this study are confirmed, this might have important implications for the allocation of patients to group or individual treatments. As it is expected that patients with limited mental flexibility and empathy experience less group…
Evaluation of I-FABP as diagnostic tool in mesenteric ischemia.
The identification of axial SpA in the primary-care setting and the introduction of questionnaires that could optimize the pattern of referral to secondary care is one of the most important objectives of the CAFASPA-II study.
Primary Objective: To determine T cell response to Coxiella burnetii antigens using an ELISPOT interferon gamma release assay in patients with different clinical outcomes after acute Q fever
To predict the risk of particular coronary plaques to cause myocardial infarction
In this randomised controlled trial we compare three commonly used preventive methods to reduce the pain on injection op (PIP) with a control group. Our primary goal is to try and establish the most effective and easy to use method for preventing…
does the use of fluticasone as an inhaled corticosteroid influence the determination of saliva cortisol?
The possibility to identify the risk of rupture of a carotid plaque will have tremendous impact in clinical decision making. Selection of candidates from surgery is based mainly on duplex ultrasonography, where now only the size of the stenosis is…
The objective of the study is to improve the peri-operative care for fragile older patients who have been indicated for elective surgery of thorax and abdomen.
To investigate the clinical value of OptiVol (TM) impedance measurement by Medtronic(R) InSync Sentry(TM) ICD's. We aim to determine specificity and sensitivity for detecting heart failure. With collected data we want to design a protocol for…
To propose a regional staging protocol, lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy, for patients with locally recurrent breast cancer in the absence of guidelines for regional staging procedures and to registrate data derived from this study.
To investigate whether application of APLG will lead to reduction in: 1) sternal wound infections 2) vessel harvest site infections 3) postoperative blood loss 4) postoperative pain
To compare oesophageal motility as well as refluxcharacteristics before and after endoscopic treatment of the Barrett segment, and to study differences between patients treated with SRER or BÂRRx.
Objective is to study the implementation of a proven cocept for active primary prevention of type 2 diabetes in a Dutch primary care setting, in order to assess whether such a concept can be applied on a broader scale, and as such contribute to the…

The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether application of PRF® will reduce postoperative wound leakage, the necessity for allogeneic blood transfusions and the incidence of wound healing disturbances in patients undergoing…
To assess the influence of bloodpressure, wall thickness, wall properties, and geometry changes throughout the cardiac cycle on the wall stress calculations. Previous analysis were performed with an assumed bloodpressure value, an uniform wall…
The main objectives are :Cross-sectional:1. To investigate the extent of atherosclerotic disease of the carotid artery defined as: (a) the intima-media thickness (IMT) (b) the elasticity (c) the degree of stenosis2. To define the degree of…
Validation of stent boosting technique for optimum stent deployment compared to intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).
the proposed study will examine the differences in flow-mediated vasodilatation of the brachial artery in depressed and non-depressed post-MI patients.
