A strategy restricting nebulisation of mucolytics and bronchodilators to patients with sputum plugging is as effective as, but cheaper and safer than, a strategy using routine nebulisation in all intubated and mechanically ventilated ICU patients.
The primary hypothesis is that treatment with baclofen will decrease the risk of relapse in GHB use and increase the duration of abstinence after detoxification in recently detoxified GHB dependent patients Secondary hypotheses include: 1.treatment…

Disturbances in the circadian rhythm could be a possible cause for development of delirium.
Peroperative fluorescent imaging of the bile ducts will improve visibility and results in early identification of the common bile duct and the cystic duct during laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients at risk for bile duct injury.
Hypothesis A: We expect a decline in measured musclemass during the initial days of hospital admission, also we do not expect hydrational changes to be of great influence on estimated muscle mass. Hypothesis B: We expect that the time of the day on…

AIM: Establish the clinical value of sentinel node biopsy in patients with multiple breast tumors. Investigate if an intratumoral tracer injection in the additional tumors results in visualization of extra sentinel nodes/extra lymphatic drainage…
We hypothesize that the interaction between blood cells, platelets, red blood cells or monocytes and the plasma compartment is responsible for the increase in thrombotic risk. Therefore, we aim to investigate the effect of hypoxia on the blood cells…
It is expected that the urinary and serum level of intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) and the urinary level of Claudin-3 have prognostic relevance for early identification of patients at risk for intestinal ischemia-related morbidity or…
When this new knee system will facilitate a high knee flexion, this will be depicted in a superior knee function. In addition, a high flexion ability will result in high clinical and functional outcome scores and high patient satisfaction.
