Fluorescent near-infrared imaging can be used to identify the ureters using a low dose methylene blue.
The self-help intervention Happy@Work will reduce symptoms of depression. The self-help intervention Happy@Work will be cost effective.
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.
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…
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…
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.
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…
We want to establish an abbreviated, multidimensional, evidence based, diagnostic personalityprotocol within the mental health services. The hypothesis is that the mutidimensional testcombination of VTCI, NEO-FFI and CISS is sufficient reliable and…
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…
A constant Hb concentration will improve the quality of life of patiënts with a chronic need for bloodtransfusions.
Interferons (IFNs) are a family of cytokines which have important antiviral and antiproliferative properties. They also play an important role in immunomodulation. Type I IFNs have been implicated in autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus…
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…
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…
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that contact isolation of patients colonised with ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in a multiple-occupancy room is not inferior to contact isolation in a single-occupancy room with respect to…
