We hypothesize that by using different imaging techniques, we can give a good characterization of the bone marrow microenvironment in advanced-stage myelofibrosis, before and during treatment with ruxolitinib.
With implementation of the AWR we expect a reduction in the total amount of radiographs requested, without missing any clinical relevant fractures. We also expect a reduction in overall waiting times at the ED and a total amount of cost savings…
Fatigue affects central nervous system function and, in the setting of the medical profession, could influence specialist performance, patient care and safety. ln contrast to other industries, for example the aviation industry, there are no "…
About 10-15% of the population suffers from chronic insomnia. Structurally poor sleep can have unpleasant consequences for people's health and quality of life. Therefore, proper treatments are of great importance. Fortunately, Cognitive…
Background: Injury rate and injury severity of elderly cyclists due to self-induced cycle accidents increase with age. Starting at the age of 55 years, injury risk increases with a factor 4 at the age of 75 years. Injury mechanisms such as slippery…
Fluorescent near-infrared imaging can be used to identify the ureters using a low dose methylene blue.
It is hypothesized that participants who received information about social modeling effects in the intervention group consume less (snack) food compared to participants in the control group.
We hypothesize that RPCA is as effective in reducing pain relief scores as EA, with lower costs and easier achievement of 24 hours availability of pain relief for low risk women in labor.
1. Cancer survivors experience more meaning in life after the intervention; 2. Psychological wellbeing in cancer survivors improves after the intervention.
H1: the exercise intervention is effective in reducing (work-related) fatigue H2: the exercise intervention is effective in improving (work-related) self-efficacy, sleep quality, work ability, cognitive functioning, and aerobic fitness.
8 weeks after the PRF treatment we expect that the electric quantitative sensory testing (eQST) values are higher compared to the eQST values before the PRF treatment. This means that patients can tolerate a higher stimulation threshold. The…
Children aged 4 to 6 years in the intervention group who have received the GigaGaaf! intervention have a different oral health than children aged 4 to 6 years from the control group who have received care as usual. Parents of the children aged 4 to…
Topical urea is a gold standard treatment for xerosis. Skin xerosis is commonly observed in diabetic subject. A correct hydratation of the skin is advised in order to reduce the risk of skin lesions such as ulcer. No comparative data are available…
1. Both tailored interventions will result in better outcomes on self-reported fruit, vegetable, high-energy snack and fat intake, than the generic information control group; 2. Both tailored interventions will result in better outcomes on secondary…
The combination of breast surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have a profound effect on the deep myofascial level and in turn, they create a vicious circle of adhesions and lack of mobility and pain in muscles, fasciae and joints around the…
Pain Rehabilitation Programs (PRP’s) are proven effective for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). Evidence about the relationship of dose on the effect of PRP however, is unavailable. We hypothesized that shortening PRP will not be…
Combination therapy with telaprevir/ ribavirin is as effective as the current standard of care with peginterferon-alfa/ ribavirin for the treatment of acute Hepatitis C in HIV-infected individuals.
1. That adherence to the WHO recommendations (2003) for early child feeding among low-income Quetzaltenango mothers, specifically exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months, is associated with higher growth attainment and greater disease resistance; 2.…
Chronic cold exposure will increase: 1. Basal metabolism and facultative thermogenesis; 2. Brown adipose tissue activity and volume; 3. Skeletal muscle mitochondrial uncoupling and result in BRITE cell recruitment.
Intra-operative evaluation of efficacy and safety of a new lead for steering Deep Brain Stimulation.
Primary Hypothesis: 1. Sapiens lead is able to provide stimulation to the brain safely and elicit equivalent effects as commercial DBS systems. Secondary Hypotheses: 1. Steering can modulate the thresholds of stimulation-induced effects; 2. The…
