The primary objective of the study is as follows:· To compare the rate of asthma exacerbations between patients with low baseline periostin levels (< 50 ng/mL) and patients with high baseline periostin levels (* 50 ng/mL), as measured by…
Objective:The aim of our study is to obtain a collection of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas that is well characterized for relevant clinical parameters, including follow-up.
Single Ring Optical Catheter illumination study in patients with obstructive Sleep Apnea during DISE
Primary objective of the study is to create one or multiple light ring(s) in the upper airway of OSA patients by means of Single Ring Optical Catheter(s), visualize and record these light rings with a DISE endoscope, capture the change of light ring…
To investigate causes and predictors for primary or secondary allergy profiles for soymilk
To determine if adjusting endotracheal tube cuff pressure after placement of a retractor during anterior cervical spine surgery prevents postoperative dysphagia. Furthermore laryngo-tracheal complaints (hoarseness and sore throat) will be scored.
The first objective of this study is to evaluate by direct laryngo-tracheoscopy the possible role of cuffed versus uncuffed tracheal tubes in producing airway injury in infants and children who were previously more than 24 hours intubated. The…
The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of late-onset inherited Pompe disease in a large cohort of patients with recently diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in two different centres across Europe.
Primary Objective(s):Find the best 2 or 3 step strategy for screening of OSAS in a Dutch employee population to optimize a large scale screening program. Home PSG with the ALICE PDX, combined with answers on sleepiness, is the gold standard. This…
1. To assess prevalence of SAS in a Dutch chronic heart failure (CHF) population. 2. To assess whether there are group differences between CHF-patients without SAS and CHF-patients with SAS (OSAS and CSAS). 3. To assess the validity of the ApneaLink…
Measuring the forces exerted on upper en lower teeth during classic (direct) and (indirect) (video)laryngoscopy.
We want to determine if epiglottic downfolding leads to a better view of the glottis and more successful intubations. We also want to investigate if this comes at the cost of more postoperative sore throat, dysphonia, dysphagia and coughing…
The clinical response will be measured in allergic and non-allergic rhinitis patients and healthy participants. This will be done by means of symptom scores: visual analogue score (VAS) and rhinitis symptome score (RSS) and by means of measuring…
Measuring the space on the right side of the videolaryngoscope blade and the palatopharyngeal wall in a cohort of ASA I-III patients with a normal mouth opening (Mallampati I, II and III). We also want to investigate how this space differs from the…
Primary Objective: Can an e-Health application, based on objective measurements, maintain the daily physical activity of COPD patients after a period of rehabilitation?Secondary Objective(s): • Are COPD patients motivated to use the e-Health…
Feasibility study of the option NAVA (Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist) on the Servo-i in ventilated children in the age of 0-18 on the PICU and the NICU of the Erasmus MC -Sophia Childrens hospital in Rotterdam.
In The Netherlands 2% of women and 4% of men suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). NCPAP, the gold standard therapy for moderate to severe OSAS has been shown to reduce blood pressure in OSAS. NCPAP therapy is however hampered by…
The primary objective is to evaluate the percentage of the study population who have OSAS before and after treatment and the severity of it. A second objective is to correlate the prevalence of OSAS with different tumour sites and stages, as well as…
By a chemical, physiological and IgE-mediated nasal provocation test, nasal responses will be provoked in different patientgroups. The clinical response will be measured by visual analogue score, rhinitis symptomscore, peak nasal inspiratory…
Can inertial sensors be used to detect upper airwayobstruction?
* To study systemic inflammation in individuals who are or are not susceptible to develop COPD. * To characterize the switch to chronicity of the systemic inflmmatory response in COPD* To determine whether the type and severity of the systemic…
