Fluorescent near-infrared imaging can be used to identify the ureters using a low dose methylene blue.
It is hypothesized that participants who received information about social modeling effects in the intervention group consume less (snack) food compared to participants in the control group.
1. That adherence to the WHO recommendations (2003) for early child feeding among low-income Quetzaltenango mothers, specifically exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months, is associated with higher growth attainment and greater disease resistance; 2.…
Chronic cold exposure will increase: 1. Basal metabolism and facultative thermogenesis; 2. Brown adipose tissue activity and volume; 3. Skeletal muscle mitochondrial uncoupling and result in BRITE cell recruitment.
Intra-operative evaluation of efficacy and safety of a new lead for steering Deep Brain Stimulation.
Primary Hypothesis: 1. Sapiens lead is able to provide stimulation to the brain safely and elicit equivalent effects as commercial DBS systems. Secondary Hypotheses: 1. Steering can modulate the thresholds of stimulation-induced effects; 2. The…
For patients with a diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) the efficacy of the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab combined with salvage chemotherapy in the second-line setting has decreased due to more effective first-line treatment with…
The objective of this thesis is to get insight into the effects of internal audits on patient safety and on health care professional’s behavior in an academic hospital at ward level.

The number of people undergoing total hip or total knee surgery is growing. The majority of these patients has a favorable outcome with respect to pain, function and quality of life. In a small group of patients however the results are disappointing…
The annual incidence of castration-resistant prostate cander (CRPC) in the Netherlands is estimated at 2868 patients. After development of CRPC, survival with best supportive care is not expected to exceed 12 months. Fortunately, several new…
Influenza-like-illness (ILI) is not only caused by an influenza virus infection, but also by other pathogens, both viral and bacterial. In this study nose and throat swab samples will be taken during ILI episodes to identify pathogens causing ILI in…
Based on the human milk composition, Nutricia Research has developed a new infant formula with a new fat blend, more similar to that of human milk. This new formula is currently being studied for safety and its effects on growth. The comparator used…
The effectiveness of an indicated indicated depression and anxiety prevention program ('Een Sprong Vooruit') will be tested in a Dutch sample of adolescents (aged 11-15) with high familial risk. It is expected that the adolescents who…
We hypothesise that fasting-induced insulin resistance will result in decreased glucose uptake and activity of brown adipose tissue (BAT). In addition, prolonged fasting will lead to reduced mitochondrial uncoupling in skeletal muscle, which is…
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a multicomponent intervention in promoting physical activity among adults with ID.
Treatment of active rheumatoid arthritis with rituximab will positively influence endothelial function.
Fluorescent near-infrared imaging can accurately detect breast cancer using Methylene Blue.
A tracer coctail combining indocyanine green and radioactive colloids will allow enhanced detection of the sentinel lymph node in breast cancer patients.
The protein status of an individual effects food preferences and intake. If the protein status is low, products high in protein will elicit greater reward.
To demonstrate proof of principle for the elimination of malaria from Rusinga Island using the nation-wide adopted strategy of LLINs and case management augmented with mass trapping of mosquito vectors.
