Primary objective: To study the faesibility of SLNM in patients with histological proven colon cancer using NIR-laparoscopy.Secondary objectives: To study the incidence of micrometastasis with the use of ICG and RT-PCRTo determine the number of…
Aims:a) Understand persistence and/or plasticity of the brain correlatesb) Understand specificity of the brain correlatesQuestions:a) Which neural correlates of OCD are state dependent and thus normalized after successful treatment?b) Which neural…
This project aims to understand the symptomatology PD in the light of functional brain interactions, in the hope of elucidating the role of the frontal striatal system to behaviour.
To investigate the long term stability (> 5 yrs) in patients treated with mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) for correction of a Class II-occlusion. Hypotheses:1) MDO is a technique for mandibular lengthening with comparable stability…
To evaluate whether no utilization of compressive stockings is as effective as wearing a Class II Thrombo Embolic Deterrent (TED) stocking for 4 hours. Primary outcome is leg volume on post-operative day 14.The secondary objective is to study the…
To test the cost-effectiveness of the psycho-educational intervention HypoBewust (HB) compared to care as usual.Research questions:1) Does HB significantly improve a) health related outcomes and b) societal costs after 6 months?2) Are the expected…

Aim of this prospective study is to determine (temporal changes in) the intestinal microbiota in faecal specimens and microbiota adhering to the intestinal mucosa using bacterial DNA-based profiling methods.
to evaluate the role of thoracic irradiation in patients with ED-SCLC who respond to chemotherapy and to assess the effect on 1 year survival
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, save method to stimulate the cerebral cortex and thereby alter neuronal function. In TMS a coil, which delivers brief magnetic pulses is placed adjacent to the scalp. The magnetic field…
the aim of the current pilot investigation is to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness based stress reduction in reducing stress levels in IBS patients, as well as the effects of the training on IBS symptom severity and quality of life in these…
To evaluate the feasibility and prove the concept of sentinel node biopsy in patients with carcinoma of the parotid gland and scheduled for parotidectomy and elective neck dissection.
The objective of this research is to develop a method which can identify among all consanguineous couples the ones which are at high risk.
To gain insight in the agreement and differences between patient and proxy respondents when assessing the health status of the patient en the factors that could be of influence.
This study evaluates glomerular function in children with a solitary functioning kidney. Furthermore anthropometric data is gathered about waist-hip ratio and subscapular skinfold thickness. Anthropometric characteristics can be both a cause as an…
