Our hypothesis is that reverse arthroplasty has a better functional outcome and patient satisfaction than hemi-arthoplasty in patients with a three or four part proximal humerus fracture.
Postpartum urinary retention (PUR) is a complication with a varying prevalence, from 0.5 - 18%. For asymptomatic PUR, i.e. the ability to void but with a post residual volume (PVRV) of ≥150 ml, the estimation of prevalence is between 10-45%.…
The self-help intervention Happy@Work will reduce symptoms of depression. The self-help intervention Happy@Work will be cost effective.
We hypothesize that peripheral perfusion targeted fluid management (PPTFM) might prevent excessive fluid administration, leading to less formation of tissue edema, less respiratory dysfunction and shorter duration of mechanical ventilation.
An intervention consisting of a set of specific fatigue reducing and health enhancing advices will lead to less fatigue and sickness absence in airline pilots. Following the intervention and the accompanying advices will lead to pilots reporting…
The purpose of the study is to conduct a randomised controlled trial with the onlinecourse 'Voluit Leven' as an intervention to study the: 1. Cost-effectiveness in terms of reduction of psychological symptoms (mood symptoms and disorders…
