The study will address the feasibility of the shared decision-making (SDM) intervention by (1) analysing the acceptability of the intervention by users (i.e. professionals and patients); (2) assessing the level of implementation; (3) testing…
1. To determine the rate of splanchnic utilization of glutamine, proposed to be conditionally essential for premature infants.2. To quantify the rate of splanchnic oxidation of dietary glutamine, which is supposed to be one of the major fuel…
The aims of this proposal are to show that, additional to a normal daily food intake, the intake of carbohydrate and protein during and post-exercise increases muscle protein synthesis. Second, that the intake of carbohydrate and protein during…
The aim of this study is to investigate if adaptation could cause a change in the valuations of the patient*s health state and other health states over time.
This study aims to investigate the relevance of mirror neurons for our capacity to engage in joint actions and cooperation by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We suggest that the mirror neuron system might provide a basis for…
- Measuring attentional effects central processing of somatosensory and noxious, brief electric, stimuli.
To compare the development of sensory specific satiety for sweetness after consumption of energy containing and low energy soft drinks. Moreover, we investigate whether SSS depends on the method of administration / oral processing, which influences…
Primary outcome is the change in depression severity. Depressive symptoms will be monitored at t=0, t=15 and after a 3 week follow-up (t=18).
To assess validity and reliability of two pain observation scales in children with burns aged 0 to 4 years. Moreover, nurses will be asked to judge use-friendliness of the scales.After completion of the study, one of the scales should be used daily…
MAIN QUESTIONIs there any difference in the lungfunction of those people, who have undergone surgical intervention since 1985 in relation to a childhood empyema, compared to the refence population?Which determinants caused a degraded pulmonary…
The object of the study is to assess whether attentional processes can be tracked by measuring the responses of the visual cortex.
In the present Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) RHI experiment will be sought for the hypothesis that multiple body representations exist underlying different goals. More specifically, we theorize that these body representations have somewhat…
In this study we will be looking at specific proteins and their effects on the secretion of satiety hormones in the small intestine

Collection of baseline features, by in vivo confocal microscopy, of the normal cornea with respect to corneal reflectivity and pachymetry.
The aim of this study is to gain insight into the perspectives of adolescents with diabetes type 1 on how support from friends can be helpful in selfmanagement of diabetes. This can serve as a basis for the development of structural interventions to…
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of a sensitive technique for the analysis of platinum-DNA adducts in tumour tissue. We will:-Assess the feasibility of the analysis of platinum-DNA adducts in tissue using inductively coupled…
A. PrognosisThe first aim of this study is to gain insight in the recovery pattern of the linguistic levels (i.e. semantics, phonology and syntax) in aphasia due to stroke. Information on the frequency of the occurrence of linguistic deficits in…
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy, accuracy and patient satisfaction of intra-articular injections in the osteo-arthritic ankle joint using the traction device compared to the conventional method of injecting.
