We want to establish an abbreviated, multidimensional, evidence based, diagnostic personalityprotocol within the mental health services. The hypothesis is that the mutidimensional testcombination of VTCI, NEO-FFI and CISS is sufficient reliable and…
Type 2 diabetes is cause by progressive beta-cell dysfunction against a background of obesity and insulin resistance in susceptible individuals. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma-mediated mechanisms are involved in the…
Develop a screening tool to identify children at risk of posttraumatic stress disorder after an accident.
We hypothesize that Moroccan-Dutch differ from native-Dutch in stress reactivity. This difference is not explained by group differences in known non-social risk factors for psychosis. Affirmative findings in the current study would support to the…
Comparison of two new techniques for detection of small bowel pathology: MR enteroclysis and videocapsule enteroscopy with double-balloon enteroscopy with respect to diagnostic yield, accuracy of findings, and patient preference.
For patients with breast cancer who are not applicable for breast-saving treatment (because of tumor characteristics), who prefer an amputation or who undergo a prophylactic amputation an immediate breast reconstruction is a standard offer. A…
The present study is a feasibility study. In this study we will test the feasibility of the procedures used, the compliance to the interventions, and the usefulness of intermediate outcome measures in a specific high risk group. If the results of…
We hypothesize that the WavSTAT optical biopsy system may improve the endoscopists ability to detect and distinguish suspicious lesions in the Barrett oesophagus, while reducing the need for extensive biopsy protocols during surveillance endoscopies…
Maintenance thalidomide delays the time to progression with 50% in patients who do not progress after > 3 cycles of pemetrexed containing chemotherapy.
Early diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) combined with swift identification and treatment of pulmonary infections is important for the preservation of pulmonary function, quality of life and life expectancy. A…
To assess the effectiveness of the Xience stent compared to the CYPHER stent in the PCI treatment of all patients in the MCL during 2007- 2008. This study runs parallel with the XAMI study.
In the current study we aim to establish whether TNF-alpha plays a central role in inflammation-mediated acceleration of atherogenesis and the propencity towards development of atherothrombotic disease in RA.
The goal of this study is to identify and validate recently discovered and novel biomarkers of pathophysiology, diagnosis, classification, disease activity, prognosis, treatment susceptibility, and treatment efficacy in chronic inflammatory…
The aim of this study is to provide more insight in the therapeutic effect and mechanism of action of intramyocardial bone marrow cell injection in patients with refractionary angina pectoris and documented ischemia.
The current study evaluates whether accurate optical diagnosis of small colorectal polyps (<10mm) in vivo in a non-expert setting can be achieved, resulting in the omission of formal histopathology, which could make colonoscopy more efficient…
When the optimal MRI protocol for imaging the sacral plexus and its branching nerves is known, the sacral plexus of children having neurogenic bladder dysfunction due to congenital spinal or sacral anomalies can be imaged. Because not much is known…
To prospectively assess the efficacy, feasibility and safety of a systemised endoscopic surveillance protocol in large multicentre HPS cohort.
We expect that there will be a restrictive condition in the first place. After a longer period there may be an obstructive condition, due to the original infection. We expect that the leucocyte count of the pleural fluid, the number of loculations…
The fenestrated Anaconda endograft is safe for durable exclusion of juxta and suprarenal AAA.
To demonstrate superiority over time in treatment of pain of best medical practice with adjunctive SCS Therapy compared to best medical practice without SCS Therapy in patients with chronic diabetic neuropathic pain as measured by VAS score.
