Focusing on disease-modifying rather than etiologic mechanisms may accelerate the development of novel therapies and complement current research initiatives on causative mechanisms and curative therapies.
Education on guidelines, combined with quality targets within the accreditation procedure improves quality of antibiotic prescribing
We hypothesized a beneficial effect of IUI in couples with an isolated cervical factor. Furthermore we hypothesized that the post-coital test can identify those couples who would benefit from IUI without ovarian hyperstimulation.
Salmeterol has an inhibitory effect on both allergen and allergen/LPS induced inflammation in asthmatics while on maintenance treatment with low dose corticosteroids.
The expected sensitivity of the CardioWatch 287 is 95%, as compared to the classical resting ECG recording. Sensitivity is defined as the percentage of HR and RR-intervals detected by the smartwatch, matching with the resting ECG recording.
Office endometrial sampling is not suitable to diagnose EIN due to the small amount of tissue obtained.
1-2 intramuscular injections with 100 mg dexamethason in persons without arthritis but with elevated serum levels of rheumatoid factor and or anti-CCP will lead to a reduction in antibody concentrations after 6 months and possibly to a lower…
Patients with Type 2 diabetes have been shown to have an increased risk for developing cancer, especially obesity related cancers. There is some evidence that within the class of sulfonylureas there is a difference in cancer risk; gliclazide could…
Different prevention strategies are used internationally to prevent Early-onset Group B haemolytic streptococcus infection (EOGBS). However, none of the preventive EOGBS strategies in place at present result in the complete prevention of EOGBS,…
This international, multi-centre, double blinded, placebo-controlled, randomised clinical trial will be performed: To assess the effectiveness of one year of alternate days Levamisole treatment in a dose of 2.5 mg/kg in the prevention of relapses…
Current clinical practice is to perform response evaluation, i.e. examination under general anesthesia (EUA), routinely at 3 months after the end of treatment in patients who underwent chemoradiation for oropharyngeal cancer. Due the high response…
COMT and/or PRODH polymorphisms are debt to cognitive deterioration in velocardiofacial syndrome.
We postulate that exhaled molecular profiling obtained from ‘breathprints’ by electronic nose: 1. Is associated with the level of asthma control and; 2. Is associated with an inflammatory profile in induced sputum and blood in steroiddependent…
Muscle hypoxia, either chronic or intermittent (exercise-induced), is responsible for the altered muscle oxidative phenotype in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic heart failure through modulation of the regulatory molecules PGC-1/…
Antireflux surgery is one of the most common major operations performed in pediatric patients. Most studies on the outcome of antireflux surgery in children are limited to retrospective data, case reports or are based solely on symptoms. A…
the aim of this study is to compare two strategies that present a large contrast in the stimulation dosage, i.e. a high dosage of stimulation versus a low dosage of stimulation. Our study is designed to objectively compare the ongoing pregnancy rate…
Addittional training of teachers will result in greater effect-sizes for a school-based child intervention program for childhood behavior problems. Assessment of stepped-care child, teacher and parent intervention.
Submucous fibroids are known to be related to heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), dysmenorrhea and fertility problems. Transcervical resection of fibroids (TCRM) is a widely implemented treatment for submucous fibroids, to be precise FIGO PALM-COEIN…
One cycle of IVF-eSET followed by transfer of frozen embryos is at least as effective as three cycles of IUI-COH in terms of ongoing pregnancy. Multiple pregnancies however can largely be prevented by treating women with IVF-eSET.
Obesity is a growing world wide problem. In The Netherlands, about 10% of all men and women have a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or more. Obesity is a chronic, uncurable metabolic disorder, which is characterised by excessive fatstorage at unfavorable places.…
