By giving high dose, radical, radiotherapy to patients with recurrent lung cancer, the overall survival can be prolonged and local control rate can be increased which can be done with acceptable toxicity for the irradiated normal tissues.
Targeting a higher SpO2 (95% lower limit) in children with moderate-severe BPD from 36 weeks PMA and onwards, will possibly lead to superior growth of normal lung tissue (assessed indirectly by body weight) at 6 months corrected age, compared to a…
Rehabilitation on skates after ACL reconstruction is non inferior to current common practice.
Our primary objective is to compare the short and medium term (up to 6 months) clinical results in pain and function of the Bauerfeind SecuTec OA brace with only conservative treatment (no brace) in the management of patients with medial knee OA and…

What is the influence of protective gear on the performance of basic life support (BLS) by KNRM lifeboat crewmembers during a manikin simulation training
By using weekly the clinical rule reporter as the medication review system, the number of hospital readmissions in older patients (> 60 years) will be reduced with 5% (from 20% to 15%). For the Netherlands this may translate into prevention…
The hypothesis is that the 'Shine!' intervention will result in parents having better parenting skills and a higher self-efficacy to twice daily brush their children’s teeth, resulting in better oral hygiene and less dental caries…
The hypothesis addressed in this project is that serum calcification propensity is a predictor of coronary artery calcification progression.
The hypothesis states that the time tom complete an emergency airway with Cricath device is significant faster than with Quicktrach device, which will be studied on porcine cadaver models. In the second outcome, the hypothesis states that there is…
