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…
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…
To validate the hypothesis by Sampson on retrograde menstruation by using modern imaging modalities.
By sufficient electrical stimulation of the ampullary nerves, a congruent vestibulo-ocular reflex will occur.
(Short) stay and, if possible, treatment at the PMU, will give an improvement in regular psychometrics or at least in some of them.
We hypothesize that the ASM phenotype of asthmatic patients: 1. Changes during an experimental, rhinovirus type 16 (RV16)-induced exacerbation; 2. Is associated with enhanced airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness during an experimental, RV16-…
1. Exhaled molecular profiling will discriminate eosinophilic asthma from non-eosinophilic asthma; 2. Exhaled molecular profiling is associated with biomarkers and proteomic profiles in sputum, blood, urine and nasal lavage.
It is hypothesized that increased prenatal exposure to Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) is related to an increased risk of obesity later in life.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a disease of the lungs for which adequate treatment lacks. We hypothesize that there is a role for autoimmunity in this disease.
Diabetes patients have an elevated risk to develop sexual dysfunctions. These sexual problems can have a negative impact on the quality of life of these patients. Despite this negative influence, little attention seems to be paid to these sexual…
Mitoxantrone depletes mainly pro-inflammatory T- and B- cells. Anti-inflammatory cells are spared.
Replacing bortezomib by carfilzomib would associate effective proteasome inhibition with lack of neuropathy, thereby improving the proportion of patients who are able to complete the planned treatment and reducing the rate of serious adverse events…
Pilot research in experienced centers has suggested two surveillance strategies in patients with ulcerative colitis to be more efficient than standard endoscopy: (1) ETMI (endoscopic tri-modaility imaging), utilizing AFI and narrow band imaging (NBI…
Primary Objectives: 1. A quantification method for vasa vasorum imaging using contrast-enhanced ultrasound of the carotid arteries will be developed, using physical ultrasound parameters; 2. The vessel wall thickness (intima-media thickness) and…
Women with POI have low androgen blood levels which leads to less overall sexual satisfaction, less frequent desire and more pain during sex.
Control and feedack integrated into a trans-femoral prosthesis can increase the usability of the prothesis for the trans-femoral amputee.
The goal is to achieve a more sensitive method for detecting malformations of cortical development. The main hypothesis in the current study is that focal cortical dysplasias have abnormal connections. Therefore we aim to characterize the functional…
There is incomplete adherence to the recommendations from the guidelines on caesarean section among Dutch gynaecologists.
Flumazenil is a substrate of P-glycoprotein at the blood-brain barrier.
The primary objective will be to assess whether cerebrovascular reactivity is impaired in the perfusion territory of the vertebrobasilar artery in symptomatic patients with steno-occlusive disease.
