There have been several studies that showed a possible positive effect of electrical stimulation on wound healing. One of the working principles is increasing blood flow. This could mean that by giving frequent electrical stimulation on the foot and…
To evaluate the incidence, risk factors and perinatal morbidity and mortality due to CA after TTTS treated with fetoscopic laser surgery
Electrical stimulation on the foot and lower leg will increase the blood flow and thereby the amount of oxygen to the skin. Our overall hypothesis is that this will help to reduce the risk of decubitus on the heel. The specific hypothesis for this…
Fluorescent near-infrared imaging can accurately detect pancreatic cancer non-invasively during a whipple procedure.
1. A higher resting and funtional PFM activity is observed in more distal areas from the introitus of the vagina. 2. A higher resting and funtional PFM activity is observed on the anterior wall of the vagina
To test the hypothesis that observing the data and waveforms displayed on an respiratory function monitor during the provision of positive pressure ventilation to preterm infants at birth will increase the proportion of tidal volumes within a…
Use of exercise instructions by means of a tablet and monitoring by means of a necklace-worn motion sensor is beneficial for adherence in home-based exercise programs for older adults.
High-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) DNA testing complementary to current cytology examination (i.e. Pap test) of cervical smears has shown an increased sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) for cervical cancer and its precursor lesions…
Chronic cold exposure will increase: 1. Basal metabolism and facultative thermogenesis; 2. Brown adipose tissue activity and volume both in obese and diabetic subjects; 3. Skeletal muscle mitochondrial uncoupling and result in BRITE cell recruitment…
Is it possible / desirable to move Orencia treatment from the hospital to the home situation?
Stress vulnerability as reflected by cortisolreceptor gene polymorphisms, influences course of bipolar disorder defined by number of episodes, physical health and cognitive functioning.
The carotid artery reactivity-test will have independent prognostic value compared to the current, standard prognostic tests (i.e. ankle-brachial-index, walking distance) for patients with peripheral artery disease
Focusing on disease-modifying rather than etiologic mechanisms may accelerate the development of novel therapies and complement current research initiatives on causative mechanisms and curative therapies.
Education on guidelines, combined with quality targets within the accreditation procedure improves quality of antibiotic prescribing
Different prevention strategies are used internationally to prevent Early-onset Group B haemolytic streptococcus infection (EOGBS). However, none of the preventive EOGBS strategies in place at present result in the complete prevention of EOGBS,…
Obesity is a growing world wide problem. In The Netherlands, about 10% of all men and women have a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or more. Obesity is a chronic, uncurable metabolic disorder, which is characterised by excessive fatstorage at unfavorable places.…
1. To determine the reproducibility and sensitivity of the Energy Cost of Walking test (ECWT) in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, in comparison with the reproducibility and sensitivity of the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT); 2. To evaluate the 1-…
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether thrombectomy combined with ischemic postconditioning after PCI leads to a smaller myocardial infarction compared to standard therapy.
The purpose of this research is to acquire a better understanding of the pain experience and the recovery of children between 1.5 and 5 years old who underwent a tonsillectomy/adenotonsillectomy. Primary research question: What is the influence of…
The national quality improvement program palliative care will improve quality of palliative care on a national level and the separate trajectories implementing ‘good practices’ will improve quality of palliative care on the regional and…
