To investigate whether the clinical outcome is similar after the implantation of the Resolute Integrity stent versus the Promus Element stent (non-inferiority test).
The null hypothesis of the primary outcome measure is that there will be no significant differences in DASH scores 6 months after surgery between patients who underwent plate fixation or intramedullary fixation with a TEN. The alternate hypothesis…
We expect (in the intervention condition as opposed to the control condition): 1. A decrease in children's emotional/behavioral problems and rule-braking behavior; 2. An increase in children's on-task behavior; 3. An increased teacher…

1. The point of the skin with best possible transcutaneous nerve stimulation correlates with the point of the skin most superficial to the nerves stimulated within a range of 3 mm; 2. Ultrasound will reveal a significant number of sensitive…
We hypothesize that a treatment algorithm that is based on a simple validated measure of health status (CCQ) improves quality of life (as measured on a separate scale) and other classical COPD outcome measurement parameters such as exacerbation…
The primary research hypotheses are: 1. Patients who follow the Onco-Move program will achieve better physical fitness levels, as assessed by objective performance tests, and will report less fatigue than patients in the usual care control group; 2…
Public health authorities have recognized lack of hand hygiene (HH) as one of the important causes of preventable mortality and morbidity at population level. Both at national (UK, USA, Dutch VMS) and international levels (WHO) poor HH has been…
