Primary Objective: To assess whether both OCT (optical coherence tomography) and/or HSI (hyperspectral imaging) detect differences in glioma tissue as compared to healthy tissue as examined during brain-surgery.Secondary Objective(s): To assess if…
In this study one of the goals is to compare 7 tesla MRI with 3 tesla MRI in terms of lesion detection in epilepsy patients and depiction of specific dysplasia-related imaging characteristics. Furthermore, resected tissue will be scanned ex-vivo at…
The main objective is to investigate if the sensation of children with an upper OBPL is diminished. Both children that were treated conservatively as children that were surgically treated with nerve surgery in early infancy.The primary research…
The objective of this study is to examine the vestibular system in three dimensions. To achieve this goal three experiments are performed. The EyeSeeCam video-oculography is validated with the scleral search coils (international golden standard).…
Intermittent neurogenic claudication due to lumbar stenosis is frequently diagnosed among older persons. Due to an aging population it is to be expected the incidence of lumbar stenosis will increase over time. Patients are operated on because of…
Whether the DNIC test can be used to make a prediction of postoperative pain perception and consumption of analgesics after live donor nephrectomy.
The primary objective of the trial is to investigate if the optical tissue stylet technology can reliably discriminate intra-vascular (venous) from non-vascular punctures. Diffuse reflectance spectra will be acquired for these two situations, with…
Our overall aim is to create a cost effective non-invasive method of pre-surgical assessment of language and memory function using MEG scanning. We propose a research project with the key objective to evaluate the effectiveness of a Dutch…
primary objective:-to define the optimal glucose intake by quantifying endogenous glucose production and fractional gluconeogenesis in critically ill children.secundary objectives:-determine glucose utilization in relation with exogenous glucose…
Establishment whether usage of high viscosity PMMA bone cement in PVP for OVCFs leads to a reduction in leakage incidence compared to usage of conventional (low-medium) viscosity PMMA bone cement in PVP for OVCFs.Since evidence is scarce or…
Optical Tissue Stylet - descriptive observational study into paravertebral space detection in humans
The primary objective of the trial is to investigate if the optical tissue stylet technology can reliably identify the thoracic paravertebral space. Diffuse reflectance spectra will be acquired during needle advancement, with custom-made needle…
To examine the effect of surgical trauma on mucosal perfusion, intestinal epithelial damage, the inflammatory response and potentially sepsis, following surgery remote to the abdomen in adults, children and neonates,
The main goal of this study is to map the functional anatomy of the anterior optic radiations by correlating the visual field defects to the surgical defects in Meyer*s loop in epilepsy patients after temporal lobectomy.
The primary objective of this study is to characterize functional brain networks in patients considered for (i) epilepsy surgery and (ii) tumour surgery with epilepsy surgery techniques. Characterization will be done preoperatively (MEG), during…
Our primary goal is to compare the effects of a positive pressure mechanical ventilation with spontaneous breathing on systemic cytokine release in patients with normal pulmonary function. Secondly, the possible effects of surgery on the ventilation…
1. Investigate whether per-operative subcortico-muscular (LFP-EMG) coherence can be used as a predictor for favourable surgical outcome in DYS and PD tremor patients undergoing DBS surgery 2. Investigate whether pre-surgical EEG-EMG-coherence and…
Primary objective:1. To assess functional outcome of patients with an osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures after one year of follow-up.Secondary objectives:1. To assess radiological deterioration of sagittal alignment during one year of…
To compare functional recovery of the patient and the fusion status of ceramic cages versus PEEK cages on the short and long term.
Our objective is to obtain insight into whether and how the visual and auditory systems of hemispherectomized patients have adapted after brain damage and brain surgery in early life. For this purpose we will perform psychophysical tests and (…
With this study we will investigate the effects of lumbar sympathetic blockade on ERPF and measured GFR and relative changes in non - invasive hemodynamics measured before and after continuous lumbar sympathetic blockade or splanchnic blockade in…
