Two hours of end-ischemic hypothermic oxygenated perfusion via both the hepatic artery and the portal vein is feasible and safe in resuscitating liver grafts procured from donation after circulatory death donors.
During the convalescence phase of critical illness patients will enter an anabolic phase in which REE increases and there is a subsequent increased nutritional need.
In each stratum of probability there is a clinically and statistacally significant difference in the functional ability and disease activity score over time (area under the curve) and progression of radiological joint damage after 1 year of follow-…
Stress vulnerability as reflected by cortisolreceptor gene polymorphisms, influences course of bipolar disorder defined by number of episodes, physical health and cognitive functioning.
The application of Purastat on the woundsurface will be feasible and safe.
NAVA (neurally adjusted ventilatory assist) is a newform of artificial respiration, based on the electrical activity of the diafragma. We want to investigate wether there are fysiological differences between the conventional mode and NAVA.
Daily physical activity level declines gradually with higher GOLD stages, but declines relatively sharply after reaching GOLD stage 4. Psychosocial factors contribute importantly to the variability of daily physical activity level in GOLD 1, 2 &…
The overall goal of this study is to test if the analogue patient paradigm is a valid method to assess the effects of physician-patient communication. More specifically, in Phase I, we aim to test if viewing a role-played interview about a common…
We hypothesize that Network Pain Rehabilitation Limburg will be feasible in daily practice based on the found barriers and facillitators and perceived quality of care. Moreover, the effect of the different treatments on the physical functioning of…

Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) are rare autosomal dominantly inherited disorders characterized by the occurrence of various tumors. Therefore, mutation carriers undergo regular screening (yearly for…
The Maastricht brace is a new develwoped thoracolumbar brace that improves wearability and quality of life, while maintaining efficiency and function
Antibiotics are over-prescribed for lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in nursing home (NH) residents due to diagnostic uncertainty. Inappropriate antibiotic use is undesirable both on patient level, considering their exposure to side-effects…
The hypothesis of this study is that treatment and diagnosis of challenging behavioural symptoms, (which are or have been reason for off-label psychotropic drug prescription), as provided by this integrative team, when optimising the use of off-…
Vitamin C deficiency may play a role in the symptoms of patients with chronic kidney failure and eventually renal replacement therapy
Fentanyl is highly lipophilic. Localizations with a thicker fatlayer absorp more fentanyl than localizations with a thinner fatlayer. When patients stick the patch in different localizations this can lead to different concentrations of fentanyl.…
At one year post-injury, the DASH score is expected to be similar in both groups, however, improved DASH scores are expected to be noticeable between six weeks and six months after treatment initiation, reflecting a faster functional recovery for…
We hypothesize that offering patient after general surgery water ice cream will reduce the side effects of sore throat and foul smell and in general increase the quality of recovery.
A 6 month outpatient counselling and treatment course by a nurse (in addition to usual care) reduces the risk of recurrent clinical events compared to usual care alone
