Mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) is common practice in elective colorectal surgery. In recent literature the value of MBP is subject of discussion. This non-inferiority, randomized study evaluates the value of MBP before colorectal surgery.
A specific set of variables of impairments are related/ predictive of functional limitations and disabilities. A specific set of variables of functional limitations are related/ predictive of disabilities. Psychological variables (defined by TPB,…
To evaluate the response to adalimumab treatment in TNF-alpha blockade naïve patients and patients who failed prior other anti-TNF-alpha treatment and to understand the mechanisms underlying the clinical response to TNF-alpha blockade.
Heart rate variability measures correlate with pain intensity in patients with advanced cancer.
Botulinum toxin type A injection of the prostate causes relaxation and cellular apoptosis and by this way will relieve lower urinary tract symptoms in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
1. In the first intervention group, the % of subjects who meet the national physical activity guideline will significantly increase; 2. In the second intervention group the % of subjects who meet the national physical activity guideline will…
We hypothesized that forming implementation intentions may increase levels of physical activity.
Because little is known on the effective and safe dosage of propofol when used for control of intracranial pressure in head-injured patients, propofol blood and cerebrospinal fluid concentrations and pharmacodynamics are characterized in order to…
Information-processing: 1. Changes in measures of severity of OCD are explained (partially) by changes in measures of meta-cognitions (explicit and/or implicit); 2. Changes in measures of meta-cognitions (explicit and implicit) precede changes in…

Through stress the mast cells become activated and by their vaso-active substances the mucosa permeability will become increased. Therefore the mucosa is easier to penetrated by microbes and acid. This increased permeability will leads to…
Cognitive behaviour therapy and Self-examination therapy are both more effective in reducing depressive complaints than a waiting list control group.
A peptide representing the first eleven residues of hLF (hLF1-11) was shown to be effective in killing a variety of bacteria in vivo. The objective is to develop hLF1-11 as an effective and safe antibacterial and antifungal for the treatment of…
