We expect the protein synthesis rate in (avascular) femoral bone proximal to the fracture to be lower when compared to healthy femoral bone.
Low-load blood flow restriction therapy has beneficial effects on postoperative quadriceps and hamstrings atrophy/strength, at 8 and 14 weeks after bone-patellar tendon-bone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, compared to standard care…
Fluorescent near-infrared imaging can be used to identify the ureters using a low dose methylene blue.
Our hypothesis is that adolescents that have been educated on an 'enjoy being fit' elementary school exhibit healthier scores than adolescents that have been educated on a regular Elementary school on the set of outcome variables. However…
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…
We expect an increased bone mineral density in the calcar region compared to the other ROI’s. Furthermore, we expect early detection of decreased mineral density of the femoral head in patients developing osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
We hypothesize that providing feedback to hospitals will reduce practice variation
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…
Patients with ADAM12 > 203 ng/mL in their serum benefit from the addition of biweekly tocilizumab for 3 doses to neoadjuvant chemoradiation before esophagectomy
Drug-induced Sleep Endoscopy with cocomittant jaw thrust maneuver is a suitable predictor for succes of oral appliance treatment.
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…
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…
Combination of a round window insertion approach and a lateral wall electrode array minimizes insertion trauma
