Given the above mentioned gaps in knowledge, the aim of this project is to1) Describe the midterm and long-term outcomes of (primary and revision) total hip, total knee and shoulder replacement surgery in terms of health status as a whole,…
Our objective is to compare the efficacy of early chest tube removal combined with single-shot PVB versus standard treatment (chest tube for at least 3 days and thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA)) after surgery for PSP. Efficacy is defined as…
The aim of this proof-of-concept study is to analyze the use of heart rate based variables using the Apple Watch:A) To predict Acute Chest Syndrome in patients hospitalized patients for painful crises;B) To predict painful crises in ambulant…
This study will consist of three parts with three different main objectives:- Part 1 - Pilot study; Primary objective: To assess and compare thermal comfort upon wearing a cooling vest, based on exposed cooling packs versus…
To compare the objective response rate between patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer characterized by PDL-1 TPS<50% and low TMB and either actionable mutation, inactivating STK11, KEAP1 or NFE2L2 mutations, treated by…
The main objective is to assess the perceived sound quality of different speech and music excerpts that are modified using the dereverberation algorithm by CI users. To this end a suitable graphical user interface (GUI), the MuSHRA, will be…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of transducing freshly obtained CD34+ HSC from either mobilized peripheral blood or bone marrow of healthy donors using lentiviral SIN vectors encoding codon-optimized human…
To evaluate RRS with delayed RRO as an alternative for RRSO in BRCA1/2 gene germline mutation carriers. We hypothesize that RRS with delayed RRO leads to an equal ovarian cancer incidence when compared to RRSO.
Objective 1: To improve the understanding of the dynamic phenotypic spectrum and the disease mechanisms of HD by:a. collecting natural history data covering the cognitive, behavioral and motor domains permitting estimates of rates of progression in…
The aim of this study is to identify whether it is possible to safely discontinue treatment in stable RRMS patients who have shown no evidence of active inflammation in the years prior to inclusion in terms of the return of inflammatory disease…
This strategy will result in a reduction reduce the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) defined as death or non-fatal myocardial infarction and appear more efficient than care as usual.
The main objective of the SOPI study is to select the HRD test that best predicts longest PFS on PARP-i in non-BRCA1/2 EOC patients, in order to adequately select patients that will benefit from a PARP-i. Secondary objectives are: to…
The objective is to improve the understanding of intracochlear electrocochleography for objective measurement of residual hearing. ECochG responses obtained postoperatively in patients with different aetiologies will be evaluated in…
To compare safety and efficacy of treatment with sentinel lymph node biopsy guided elective neck irradiation versus standard elective neck irradiation in patients receiving definitive (chemo)radiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the…
The aim of the RADICES study is to investigate the effects of a 12-week exercise and nutrition intervention for patients with metastatic oesophageal or gastric cancer. The intervention will be completely tailored to the condition and nutritional…
To compare postamputation pain (phantom limb pain and residual limb pain) one year postoperatively in patients receiving a lower extremity amputation with standard neurectomy versus those who received targeted muscle reinnervation.
In this research, we are comparing two distinct physiotherapy treatments as post-operative care following shoulder arthroscopy (Bankart repair). Our aim is to gain a better understanding of how to provide optimal post-operative care for patients…
We aim to characterize innate anti-viral defence responses in the upper airways of COPD patients.
To determine whether CDT in high-risk PE relative to systemic thrombolysis is:- more effective and safer in terms of a reduction of the composite endpoint on all-cause mortality and adverse events defined as treatment failure, major&…
Primary Objective: Primary Objective: 1. To investigate the effect of a VR modality as an education tool for patients undergoing oncological lung resection, compared to standard-of-care patient education in managing preoperative anxiety. 2. To…
