Onthullen van moleculaire en cellulaire mechanismen die verband houden met veroudering van de schouderspieren en het optreden van een rotator cuff scheur.

Age associated molecullar processess are involved in rotator cuff degeneration and the presence of rotator cuff tears

Pediatric Microdosing paracetamol: elucidating age-related
changes in oral drug absorption

We hypothesize that age-related changes in hepatic and intestinal drug metabolism affect the pharmacokinetics of paracetamol.

Factors associated with an underlying somatic cause in children with developmental and/or behavioral disability

We expect that when the developed checklist will be used in de diagnostic proces of children with developmental and/or behavioral disability, the use of pediatric care will be more efficiently used. Over and underdiagnoses of a causal somatic…

The clinical benefit of thin layer preparations with endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration of masses: a prospective cohort study

We hypothesize that diagnostic accuracy increases when, apart from cytologic samples, material is aspirated for thin layer preparation in endoscopic-ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of masses.

Test weighing: determining precision using a ‘double-check weighing’ method

Test weighing using a double-check weighing method is precise in determining infant intake: in more than 90% of weighings test weighing will be within 5ml of the actual amount drunk

Trial with melanoma patients who are treated with dabrafenib and trametinib to make the tumor smaller, so it can be surgically removed.

For patients with stage III-IV irresectable melanoma who have at most 3 metastases, the tumor can be reduced in size by treating with dabrafenib and trametinib for 8 weeks. After this reduction, complete surgery of the tumor could be made possible.

TORCH during pregnancy

The TORCH screen is often requested by gynecologists, but there rarely is a clinical relevant outcome. Isn’t it better to reduce the test indications or the number of tested infections to make the test more cost effective and clinical relevant? And…

Validation of Strain and Strain Rate: a pilot study comparing transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting

The primary endpoint of this study is to assess if myocardial strain and strain rate -measured with tissue Doppler and 2D speckle tracking- determined with TOE is comparable with cardiac strain and strain rate determined with TTE. Secondary…

Implementation of an Antibiotic Checklist

Applying to the antibiotic checklist - based on generic quality indicators for the antibiotic treatment of bacterial infections in the hospital - will likely result into better patient care in terms of adequate treatment, duration of intensive care…

Flat colonic neoplasms: a population-based study

1. Flat adenomas are common findings in patients at average- or at high-risk for CRC; 2. Flat adenomas are characterized by a different molecular profile as compared to polypoid lesions; these molecular features are associated with an increased risk…
