Background: Injury rate and injury severity of elderly cyclists due to self-induced cycle accidents increase with age. Starting at the age of 55 years, injury risk increases with a factor 4 at the age of 75 years. Injury mechanisms such as slippery…
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.
Een predictor vinden in de vorm van ferritine bij diagnose/leeftijd bij diagnose die het aantal aderlatingen per jaar in onderhoudsbehandeling van hemochromatose patienten kan voorspellen
Combination therapy with telaprevir/ ribavirin is as effective as the current standard of care with peginterferon-alfa/ ribavirin for the treatment of acute Hepatitis C in HIV-infected individuals.
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…
To validate in vivo the velocity offset correction method as published by Walker PG et al. (JMRI 3, 521 1993) such that it can assure velocity offsets < 0.6 cm/s at the ascending aorta and pulmonary artery for 2D through-plane phase contrast…
Therapeutic drug monitoring is effective in optimizing treatment with tobramycin and reduces side effects.
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…
Casein ingested within a normal milk matrix results in a more rapid digestion and amino acid absorption, resulting in greater amino acid availability and post-prandial muscle protein accretion as compared to the ingestion of isolated casein (…
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.

1) It is possible to record data delivering insights in the actual performance of activities of daily life using the Interaction system in stroke patients in the home environment. 2) It is expected that standard clinical test scores do not…
We hypothesize that the SCRIPT2 training will be accepted, and that the subjects will be able to use the SCRIPT2 system independently. Also, subjects will show improved arm and hand function over the six weeks of training.
The hypothesis is that rhGH treatment in children with KS results within 6 weeks in a change of metabolism recognizable as an increase of total energy expenditure (TEE). This change in metabolism can be used as a predictor of growth response in the…
We hypothesise that the new MRI protocol will be superior to the previous protocol at calculating lung volumes and central airways dimensions, and subsequently improve the detection and quantification of TA in both CF and asthma disease pathologies.
Delivery of a generic MBSR training to patients who visit a memory clinic with cognitive complaints, and who show no clinical signs of a cognitive disorder, is feasible.
Prevention of parastomal hernia with a prosthetic mesh in a laparoscopic constructed end-colostomy .
The use of a low weight polypropylene mesh(PPM) in a sublay position reduce the incidence of parastomal hernia in laparoscopic stoma formation.
