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…
We aim to compare the anesthetic strategies used in the Amsterdam UMC, location AMC, and determine the incidence of complications (in particular, aspiration) with relation to the type of induction method used.
It is expected to see a shift with respect to the prevalence of HMPV infection compared to previous cohorts.
We expect that clinical judgement of medical personnel is better in predicting the development of critical illness compared to the Modified Early Warning Score
Monitoring quality and yield and giving feedback on performance will increase the quality and yield.
A novel approach/algorithm for individualised risk assessment of COPD exacerbations, which integrates both microbiological data and clinical information, improves the accuracy of exacerbation prediction in COPD patients over methods based on…
Manual negative pressure wound therapy is safe and is more effective than standard gauze dressing, in terms of duration of treatment and number of wound dressings.
Periodontal maintenance patients with less stress, less sleep disturbances and a diet with various fruits, vegetables and healthy fats will show better treatment results than patients with a less healthy lifestyle.
The primary goal of this research project is to evaluate the implementation of VR to PCIT. We expect to find that PCIT-VR will ameliorate positive parenting skills, leading to faster skill mastery. We believe that if the positive parenting skills…
To compare FDG-PET and CT-scan for the early prediction of non-response to preoperative chemoradiotherapy in patients with potentially curable esophageal cancer.
We hypothesize that PARP inhibitors can potentiate radiation-induced tumor cell death in patients treated with PRRT. To determine the maximin tolerated dose (MTD) of this combination, a phase 1 dose-escalation study is needed.
Enzyme therapy with recombinant human alpha glucosidase results in prolonged survival; improvement or stabilisation of cardiac hypertrophy and function, improvement or stabilisation of pulmonary function and improvement or stabilisation of muscle…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of platelet transfusions on hemostatic parameters in thrombocytopenic hematology patients and to identify other determinants of hemostasis, which may contribute to clot formation and clot strength.
We hypothesize that there will be a significant difference in anterior translation of the humeral head between patients and healthy objects. Secondly we hypothesize that the inter- and intra-rater reliability of the HHC test will be fair to good.…
Previous trials showed that both doxorubicin and thalidomide have anti-tumor activity against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). There are indications that these two agents interact synergistically and have non-overlapping toxicity profiles. This trial…
Effectivity of information transfer between ambulance personnel and hospital staff (% content using SBAR system) Efficiency of information transfer between ambulance personnel and hospital staff (time)
1. Postnatal supplementation of infant formula with long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) improves neurodevelopmental outcome at 9 years in healthy full-term infants; 2. Neonatal fatty acid status affects neurodevelopmental outcome at 9…
The primary objective is to investigate the effectiveness of a personalized 2-year multidomain lifestyle intervention on cognitive performance in older adults at risk of cognitive decline.
It is hypothesized that the orientation of the lower limb joints are not parallel to the walking direction and that a standing measure is highly correlated with the orientation during the standing, load bearing, phase of the gait cycle.
The hypothesize is, that treatment with induction chemotherapy will lead to a 15% increase of the R0 resection rate compared to treatment with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery alone.
