1. To determine the level of cognitive, emotional and cardiorespiratory impairment, daily functioning, participation in society, quality of life and partner strain up to one year after the survival of a cardiac arrest.2. To determine prognostic…
The main objective of the study is a head tot head comparison of the everolimus coated XIENCE-V* stent with the paclitaxel coated TAXUS* stent in order to observe whether there is a difference in clinical outcome between both stents. Efficacy of…
We presume that reducing the fasting period by adding a carbohydrate drink 2-3 hours prior to surgery is a good and feasible option to decrease orthostatic intolerance and -hypotension. Moreover, the pre- and postoperative well-being is thought to…
The hypothesis is that low dose GC therapy exerts its anti-inflammatory effect by virtue of a first-pass effect through the liver. It is difficult to directly address the hypothesis, but there is an indirect way of doing so: if indeed low dose GCs…

A successfully conducted trial will have a positive impact on the future handling of thepancreatic remnant in distal pancreatectomy. The reliable and comparable data generated in this trial may support an evidence-based choice of a surgical…
This new developed knee prosthesis will be compared to the standard scorpio PS knee prosthesis. In this comparison it will be examined if the changes in design really do improve function and deminish pain. Allso patella tracking and patella tilting…
