Safety and efficacy of the Genous Bio-engineered R Stent™ pre-dilated with paclitaxel-eluting balloon (Dior™) versus the Genous Bio-engineered R Stent™ pre-dilated with non drug eluting balloon in Patients undergoing PCI for ST-segment Elevation…
The use of progestins in combination with estrogen is associated with a reduced incidence of colorectal carcinoma (CRC)1,2. Also, incidental literature has reported a coincidence of the start of oral contraceptive agents with reduction in polyp…
To determine whether involved field radiation therapy (IFRT) can be eliminated based upon early and complete response to multiagent chemotherapy To determine whether the addition of an additional two cycles of chemotherapy (DECA) can improve outcome…
PCI will prevent brain metastases, even for patients with other sites of failure, and will improve the neurological disease-free survival, and hence quality of life. PCI will also be cost-effective.
The action of statins in CRC is dependant on the expression of elements of the BMP pathway.
Persisting abdominal complaints are common after an episode of diverticulitis treated conservatively. Furthermore, some patients develop frequent recurrences. These two groups of patients suffer greatly from their disease impairing quality of life…
The exerted pressure on the skin by non-invasive pelvic circumferential compression devices (PCCDs) carries a risk of pressure sores and skin necrosis in case of prolonged use. A persons Body Mass Index (BMI) is of influence on this risk.
Prevenar® is thought to induce immediate protection through stimulation of antibody production by polysaccharide specific plasma B cells, sustained protection is conferred by a memory B cell pool which induces an accelerated increase in antibody…
Anti CD20 therapy will result in complete or partial response in patients with chronic GVHD, who do not respond to first line treatment.

Earlier studies have shown lower levels of physical acitivity, physical fitness and high energy cost of locomotion in children with Spina Bifida (SB) . Our hypothesis is that training can improve both physical fitness and energy cost of locomotion…
The hypothesis to be tested is that reinduction treatment with at least three courses of R-DHAP followed by RIC AlloSCT is feasible and efficacy meets the expectations as described in the protocol.
Self-regulation capacity is a predictor of compliance after bariatric surgery. Self-regulation capacity is a predictor of success after bariatric surgery (weight loss, quality of life, satisfaction). Compliance is a predictor of success (weight loss…
The Avastin injection schedule for ARMD can be optimized.
We hypothesize that endoscopic resection (ER) of endoscopically visible abnormalities followed by stepwise circumferential and focal radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the residual Barrett esophagus (BE) will effectively remove the high-grade…
A single MenC polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccination was introduced into the National Vaccination Program (RVP) at the age of 14 months in 2002. Furthermore in 2002, in a large national campaign all children and adolescents between the age of…
1. We postulate that an electronic nose can discriminate exhaled breath of patients with ALI/ARDS lung injury from patients without lung injury and without being at risk for developing lung injury 2. We postulate that an electronic nose can…
Showering shortly after application of Androgel does not negatively affect testosterone plasma levels.
The primary potential effect of the intervention is a reduction of the severity of urinary incontinence in the participating women. Secondary expected effects are improvement of the quality of life of incontinent women and reduction of the costs of…
