Mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) is common practice in elective colorectal surgery. In recent literature the value of MBP is subject of discussion. This non-inferiority, randomized study evaluates the value of MBP before colorectal surgery.
A specific set of variables of impairments are related/ predictive of functional limitations and disabilities. A specific set of variables of functional limitations are related/ predictive of disabilities. Psychological variables (defined by TPB,…
To evaluate the response to adalimumab treatment in TNF-alpha blockade naïve patients and patients who failed prior other anti-TNF-alpha treatment and to understand the mechanisms underlying the clinical response to TNF-alpha blockade.
Heart rate variability measures correlate with pain intensity in patients with advanced cancer.
We hypothesized that forming implementation intentions may increase levels of physical activity.
Because little is known on the effective and safe dosage of propofol when used for control of intracranial pressure in head-injured patients, propofol blood and cerebrospinal fluid concentrations and pharmacodynamics are characterized in order to…
Information-processing: 1. Changes in measures of severity of OCD are explained (partially) by changes in measures of meta-cognitions (explicit and/or implicit); 2. Changes in measures of meta-cognitions (explicit and implicit) precede changes in…
1. The intervention group will have a lower BMI/waist circumference, compared to the control group at follow-up; 2. The intervention group will have more favourable outcomes on the targeted behaviours, compared to the control group at follow-up; 3.…
Rituximab treatment leads to a decrease in synovial B cells. The clinical response is related to the decrease in synovial B cell numbers.
1a. Changes in outcome measures of anxiety can be partly explained by changes in self-reported thougths; 1b. Changes in outcome measures of anxiety can be partly explained by changes in selective attention and by changes in fear relevant cognitive…
(stress-sensitive) Patients with functional dyspepsia have a change in the dopaminergic system, through chronic stress, what leads to visceral hypersensitivity and therefore dyspeptic symptoms.
Ulcerative colitis is characterized by abnormal activation of the colon epithelium, which is considered to be a central pathogenic mechanism. Activation of colon epithelium cells in UC is associated with an abnormal high expression of Toll-like…
Cognitive behaviour therapy and Self-examination therapy are both more effective in reducing depressive complaints than a waiting list control group.
A peptide representing the first eleven residues of hLF (hLF1-11) was shown to be effective in killing a variety of bacteria in vivo. The objective is to develop hLF1-11 as an effective and safe antibacterial and antifungal for the treatment of…
Higher order aberrations, like spherical aberration, decreases visual performance.
Early and aggressive treatment of rheumatoid arthritis according to a strict treatment protocol results in a 70% remission of the disease within 2 years.
Baseline variables such as Harm Avoidance and other personality, biological and electrophysiological measures will predict treatment outocme to an SSRI.
We hypothesize that atopiform dermatitis is a separate entity with specific characteristics, which needs recognition in order to be diagnosed and treated appropriately.
The optimal management of locoregionally advanced NSCLC is evolving. Multimodality treatment is rapidly becoming the most common approach to stage III NSCLC. ASCO guidelines recommend initial chemotherapy (platinum-based, 2 or 3 cycles) combined…
Antisense oligoribonucleotides inducing exon skipping is a promising approach to restore dystrophin synthesis in patients with Duchenne.
