To validate in vivo the velocity offset correction method as published by Walker PG et al. (JMRI 3, 521 1993) such that it can assure velocity offsets < 0.6 cm/s at the ascending aorta and pulmonary artery for 2D through-plane phase contrast…
We hypothesize this difference is due to differences in the mechanisms by which the individuals can withstand and/or adapt to the stress conditions applied in the clinical model and that these mechanisms are of key importance in our ability to…

1. The observation of videos of walking people has a beneficial effect on the amount of physical activity and on physical performance in older adults with dementia 2. The observation of videos of walking people has beneficial effects on cognition…
Prevention of parastomal hernia with a prosthetic mesh in a laparoscopic constructed end-colostomy .
The use of a low weight polypropylene mesh(PPM) in a sublay position reduce the incidence of parastomal hernia in laparoscopic stoma formation.
Hard-core smokers are smokers who have been smoking for many years and who do not intend to quit. This makes them vulnerable to disease and death. Since hard-core smokers are unlikely to quit smoking, before aiming at actually quitting, we first…
We hypothesize that daily oral administration of increasing dosages of Eubacterium hallii, an anaerobic intestinal bacterial strain, can exert beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity and liver fat.
In the Netherlands, case managers play an essential role in the care chain for people with dementia living in the community. Because the profession has just been started, there is a lack of evidence-based practice to provide treatment for agitation…
Compression therapy is not necessary after VNUS. Patients receiving no compression therapy after VNUS will have similar outcomes in post-operative pain, oedema, and HRQOL, post-operative complications, time to full recovery.
For cochlear implanted (CI) patients speech recognition in noise still remains one of the most challenging tasks. One way to improve performance in noise is to benefit from binaural hearing (hearing with two ears). For individuals with residual…
We hypothesize a lung–protective mechanical ventilation using lower tidal volumes during general anesthesia for minimally invasive transthoracic esophagectomy to protect against postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing minimally…
Nasotracheal intubation is a frequently employed intubation technique, but passage of the tube through the nasal cavity may lacerate the mucosa, and create a fausse route. In the present study we therefore aim to evaluate whether a new strategy that…
Patients who receive treatment as usual (TAU) plus mentalization-based treatment for psychosis (MBT-P) will show a greater improvement in social functioning than patients who receive TAU only. This effect is mediated by an increase of social…
Patients with SIS treated with bursectomy in combination with acromioplasty have higher mid-term Constant scores than patients treated with bursectomie alone.
• CT based Signature™ will result in a comparable percentage of prosthesis that is placed correctly (within guidelines of 3 degrees varus and 3 degrees valgus). • CT-based Signature™ will result in a comparable alignment of the prosthesis as…
1) Tapering of SSRIs with added preventive cognitive therapy (CT) increases the risk of clinically relevant maternal relapse of depression in excess of [absolute] 15% compared to continuation of SSRIs. If rejected, then discontinuation is deemed non…
The overall aim of this study is to study the effectiveness of a PLISSIT-model intervention in men and women with type 2 diabetes in primary care. Primary outcomes include sexual functioning, sexual satisfaction, and quality of life. Secondary…
The central hypothesis is that the mobile programme is more effective than the web-based programme in increasing physical activity (PA). i.e. 1. Both intervention groups will show an increased PA level. 2. Participants of the mobile programme…
To investigate whether patients prefer to be approached by mailed questionnaires for annual follow-up assessment after PCI procedures versus telephone interviews or email-based follow-up
We hypothesize that adaptation or tuning of the population PKPD model of propofol will decrease the residual error between predicted and measured plasma-concentrations during maintenance of anaesthesia. The adapted PKPD models can also be used…
