For the prevention of diabetic foot ulceration, evidence exists to support the use of home-monitoring of foot skin temperature by means of a hand-held infrared skin thermometer. However, the construct validity of skin temperature measurements is…
Muscular counterpulsation (MCP) is a new treatment option which seems to improve hemodynamics but might also have positive effects on muscular and vascular function. Additionally, it is non-invasive and does not seem to have relevant side effects.…
Null hypothesis: the 8 centres with different cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programmes do not differ from each other with regards to the effectiveness.
To investigate in an unselected memory clinic sample, the clinical value of 18F]FBB PET in terms of 1. change in diagnosis; 2. change in level of confidence of diagnosis; 3. impact on patient healthcare management.

We expect that mp-MRI, molecular urine test and Prostate Cancer Risk Calculator may be of additional value in differentiating between significant and insignificant cancers in men with an elevated PSA in the primairy diagnosis. If so, it will result…
It will be investigated whether passive leg raising and stroke volume variations can be used in predicting renal responses to fluid administration. Our hypothesis is that dynamic predictors of cardiac fluid responsiveness can predict an increase in…
The Maastricht brace is a new develwoped thoracolumbar brace that improves wearability and quality of life, while maintaining efficiency and function
The main study hypothesis is that by reducing the risk of transsection of the infrapatellar nerve during tibial nailing, post-operative anterior knee pain can be reduced. At one year, we expect less anterior knee pain and better functional status in…
