The main objective of this study is to compare upper extremity dysfunction (UED) following slender TRPCI using small bore catheters (5F) compared to standard PCI using regular size guiding catheters (6F) and conventional stent techniques at two…
Ischemia driven (FFR) complete percutaneous revascularisation of all significant stenosis in the non-culprit lesion performed within the index PCI procedure will improve clinical outcomes compared to the usual care, guided by discretion of the…
Adolescence represents a crucial stage in the maturation of executive functioning (e.g. working memory and inhibition) and mental health (i.e. behavioral and emotional functioning, and self-concept), which both are important predictors of academic…
We hypothesize that cardiac output rather than blood pressure is essential for adequate cerebral perfusion during and after cerebral revascularization.
We expect that quality of life after nonoperative treatment is at least as good as after operative treatment.
It is possible to interrupt transmission of M. leprae in an endemic community by rigorous application of contact screening and chemoprophylaxis to both close contacts and a wider circle of contacts around each index patient. Post-exposure…
Pre-hospital triage in patients with low risk of NSTE-ACS will reveal a large saving in health care resources in favor of the pre-hospital rule strategy with additional GP management. At 12 months the strategy will corroborate with a very low event…
To assess the efficacy of a calorie and protein restricted (CRPR) diet for induction of remission in CD.
Childhood obesity is a serious epidemic in western societies. Parents are considered as a key influence in children’s weight-related behaviors. It is thus not surprising that recent interventions to prevent childhood obesity have increasingly…
The objective is to investigate whether application of a stepwise work-up strategy in primary care patients with uncontrolled hypertension results in better blood pressure control in a cost-effective manner.
the foreign language training boosts cognitive flexibility and affects its neural underpinnings, which adds to cognitive reserve. The increase in cognitive flexibility is hypothesized to influence the experience of subjective cognitive decline.…
Atherosclerosis is characterized by a persistent inflammation of the arterial wall. Monocyte-derived macrophages are the most abundant immune cells in atherosclerotic plaques. It has recently been shown that not only immune cells of the adaptive…
We hypothesize that the Armed4stroke program will: 1) Increase patients self-reported level of mobility, measured with the Stroke Impact Scale. 2) Smoothen the transition to patients own home situation, which will shorten the length of stay for…
First, we hypothesize that IHNR will shorten the time to regain (baseline) HRQoL. Second, we hypothesize that the program will enhance the ability to resume work-related and daily activities, and will lead to a reduction in medical consumption (e.…
Self help interventions are useful in preventing work-related fatigue in coach drivers in the peak season.
The treatment with ciNPT results in a superior healing when compared to the standard treatment (no ciNPT). The rationale behind the secondary outcome is that this treatment leads to improvement of scar quality in comparison to the standard treatment…
The ingestion of free amino acids will result in higher plasma amino acid concentrations, resulting in enhanced muscle protein synthesis rates when compared with the ingestion of milk.
