An unsupervised proprioceptive balance board training programme that is applied after the usual care of individual athletes who have sustained an acute sports-related lateral ankle ligament injury is effective for the prevention of ankle sprain…
We hypothesize that in patients with severe corticosteroid dependent asthma Dabigatran etexilate will: 1. Reduce airway inflammation; 2. Improve asthma control and pulmonary function; 3. Reduce hypercoagulability in the airways.

We expect that the control group will show no increase or possibly even a decrease in physical fitness in the three-month period of the study. We expect that continuous training will produce a moderate increase in physical fitness however, we expect…
During treatment with dexamethasone, the deprived mineralocorticoid receptor may cause serious cerebral side effects. Hence, it is feasible that these side effects on mood, behaviour and cognition could be prevented, by an intervention with a…
We expect we can estimate VO2max accurately using the relation between heart rate and level of activity measured outside the laboratory setting in comparison to VO2max determined during a maximal bicycle ergometer test.
1. To determine the effectiveness of 2 interventions (basic support (A&Cb) vs intensive support (A&Ci) compared to care as usual in CHF patients on time to first major event (HF hospitalisations and death), quality of life and costs…
We hypothesize that training inhibitory skills will lead to more succes of a lifestyle based treatment of obesity in children.
1. To determine the prevalence of cognitive impairment in COPD patients and to look for clinical characteristics of COPD patients with cognitive impairment; 2. To study the influence of cognitive functioning on daily functioning and treatment…
By comparing protein profiles of dysplastic vs non-dysplastic Barrett epithelium, a novel biomarker for prediction of early neoplasia may be identified.
Patients with a BMI > 30 kg/m2 in the ICU have a higher incidence of pressure ulcers and wound infections in the ICU compared with patients with a BMI 18-25kg/m2. They develop them sooner during admittance and the severity and time to…
The study aims to assess the efficacy (in terms of growth response over the years of treatment, including final height) and safety of a treatment regimen consisting of: 1. Authentic biosynthetic growth hormone (GH) in a dosage of 4 IU/m2/day between…
We hypothesize that the CPA Talking-with-children-intervention will have a beneficial effect on the mental health and quality of life of maltreated children. We expect that children who participate in the CPA investigation (CPA Talking-with-…
308-nm Excimer lasertherapy will obtain faster repigmentation after minigrafting than NB-UVB therapy in vitiligo patients.
To investigate whether microbial transplantation from either allogenic (healthy) or autologous (own) donor, administered through a small intestinal tube, has beneficial effects on immune status, betacell function (Cpeptide secretion upon a mixed…
We aim to compare IGF-I bioactivity levels between patients with favorable and unfavorable functional outcome 3 months after acute ischemic stroke. Furthermore, we will compare the IGF-I bioactivity levels between patients with and without…
FESS is effective: giving significant reduction of symptoms. The indication for FESS must be based on the symptoms of the patient and its duration, CT scan abnormalities and/or nasal endoscopic abnormalities, and a history of adequate conservative…
It is hypothesized that a low protamine-to-heparin ratio leads to improved hemostasis after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass as compared to a high ratio as measured by rotational thromboelastometry, and reduces postoperative blood loss…
The hypothesis is, when adolescents are screened for problems at an early stage and do get help, they will be less absent from school and will have less psychosocial problems.
Cross-transmission of antibiotic-resistant pathogens can be prevented by using closed suction systems (CSS) instead of open suction systems (OSS) in mechanically ventilated ICU patients.
