The NDT-CLBP is a valid tool to guide treatment based on patient profiles for secondary spine care professionals
The changes in DPOAEs from upright to 30 degrees HDT will be greatest for subjects who are expected to have the lowest ICP (primarily NTG subjects). Alternatively, the least amount of change in DPOAEs will occur in subjects who are expected to have…
Childhood obesity is an important public health problem. Replacing Sugar Sweetened Beverages by the consumption of water and systematically increasing physical activity levels are promising health behavioral changes that may prevent childhood…
The aim of this study is to validate a new CT technique (dual energy CT) in the ability to detect myocardial perfusion defects in patients suspected of having coronary artery disease. A combination of CT angiography and stress dual energy will be…
The null-hypothesis states that there is no difference between the intervention group and waiting-list control group on subjective well-being at the three follow-up time-points. The alternative hypothesis states that there is a difference within and…
Diffusion-weighted MRI is a cost-effective follow-up strategy after primary cholesteatoma surgery compared to the usual care, 2nd look surgery with equal quality of care in terms of hearing, cholesteatoma detection rate, complications and quality of…
Group EMDR treatment of former child slaves with (partial) PTSD will result in lower levels of posttraumatic stress, depression, and dysfunctional trauma-related cognitions at posttest compared to a waiting-list control condition.
Performing a standard laboratory package prior to the first visit to the outpatient clinic rather than performing laboratory tests afterwards will lead to a shorter time until the diagnosis has been established.
We hypothesize that a low heart rate variability and baroreflex sensitivity in the pre- or postoperative phase are associated with orthostatic intollerance when compared to subjects with normal heart rate variability.
Healthy eyes express collagen type VII (Col VII). This collagen is known to secure the epidermis to the dermis, but might have a comparable role in the eye. Col VII deficient patients (RDEB) might thus have tissue anchoring abnormalities. RDEB donor…
We expect higher participant scores for self-efficacy, behavioral intentions and evaluation for the photo story intervention compared to a comparable traditional brochure. We expect that the majoritiy of participants prefers the photo story…
Surgical treatment (DAIR on day 10) will result in a 50% reduction rate of revision for PJI up to one year after primary TKA/THA compared to nonsurgical treatment. Consequently surgical treatment is more (cost) effective compared to nonsurgical…
Initial non-operative treatment strategy is associated with as many or fewer complications, a better health-related QOL, reduced costs, and it avoids surgery in the majority of patients.
