The purpose of the study is to evaluate the outcomes and midterm follow-up in the mini-gastric bypass in terms of weight loss, resolution of co-morbidities and the impact of different BP-limb lengths.
Health outcomes for people at risk of or suffering from non-communicable lung diseases in low-resource settings will be improved by developing capacity for implementation of evidence-based interventions for prevention, diagnosis and treatment in…
We expect that planned visits at the outpatient clinic are unnecessary due to low percentage of treatment changes. Furthermore, we expect that treatment changes will appear at unplanned visits.
For the prevention of diabetic foot ulceration, evidence exists to support the use of home-monitoring of foot skin temperature by means of a hand-held infrared skin thermometer. However, the construct validity of skin temperature measurements is…
In this project the hypothesis is tested that the community pharmacist-led CATI care programme in patients using cardiovascular medication, will have a beneficial effect on patients’ adherence to cardiovascular medication and improves clinical…
Muscular counterpulsation (MCP) is a new treatment option which seems to improve hemodynamics but might also have positive effects on muscular and vascular function. Additionally, it is non-invasive and does not seem to have relevant side effects.…
Comparing the tumor tissue of patients with a breast cancer relapse to the tumor tissue of their primary breast cancer may help to identify mechanisms that are responsible for the relapse after exposure to anticancer agents, and thus further our…
The guided online CBT intervention is expected to show favorable effects and to be cost-effective in comparison to care-as-usual for patients with insomnia in general practice
We expect that the intervention is also effective on the long term. However, we expect that the depression scores may have increased somewhat, compared to post-treatment.
To evaluate whether a dietary advice of green vegetables, beef and whole dairy products during six months including standard supportive care can decrease the TSH-level compared to standard supportive care alone in children aged 1-18 years with…
There is no difference in radiographic parameters of immediate loading and delayed loading of single posterior tooth implants in healed sites.
Higher concentration nintedanib in normal lung tissue compared to fibrotic lung tissue.
We hypothesize that several parameters, measured with a wrist-worn data logger, will be predictive for a heart failure event. Parameters which are taken into account are: heart rate, activity count, energy expenditure, but also parameters which are…
The invasive bacteria Shigella and entero-invasive E.coli (EIEC) that cause gastro-enteritis, are genetically related and share an infection mechanism. In the Netherlands, Shigellosis is a notifiable disease, while infections with EIEC are not. With…
The hypothesis is that an increased level of dysfunctional modes at baseline predicts lower CBT success (i.e., smaller reduction of symptoms). The second hypothesis is that an increased level of healthy modes at baseline predicts higher CBT success…
Our hypothesis is that the 30 day PPG based AF detection algorithm is at least equivalent to the 3 day Holter evaluation for the detection of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
We hypothesize that iABM patients, relative to controls, will show less addiction problems, increased health, reduced physical and psychological complaints, and reduced use of health care post-intervention and at 6 & 12 month FU Further, we…
We hypothesize there is an immunological component underlying chronic pouchitis which might be similar to that seen in UC. Therefore, we believe tofacitinib might be an effective treatment for these patients as well.
Objective: The primary objective of the study is determining the contributing factors in bracing for AIS. The contributing factors are determined as factors of influence in the corrective possibilities and therefore end term…
Previously published research by Heutink et al. performed in our center found cochleostomy associated translocations in over a third of the patients implanted with the Slim Modiolar Electrode. Therefore, we would like to evaluate the translocation…
