Increasing the intercultural competence of mental health workers will reduce therapy dropout in Moroccan and Turkish patients with depressive and anxiety disorders.
External cepahlic version (ECV) of the fetus in breech position is a safe and relative simple obstetric intervention to reduce the incidence of caeserean section for breech position at term. Uterine relaxants can enhance the success rate of ECV with…
Monitoring a patient’s oxygen status during anesthesia using pulse oximetry is essential. The new Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI) may help provide clinicians real-time visibility to oxygenation in a moderate hypoxic range and serve as a warning of an…
A home-based peripheral muscle training program (Five Basic Exercises program (5BX)) is more effective in [a] increasing exercise capacity (e.g. peak work rate) and [b] patients’ preferred occupational performance when it is preconditioned by…
Aim of the study is to determine how often muscle strength measurements should be repeated, using a hand-held dynamometer to obtain a maximal muscle strength measurement
Delegation of clozapine monitoring tasks to a Nurse Practitioner (condition A) is at least as safe as Treatment As Usual: physicians perform monitoring tasks themselves (condition B).
Painreduction for 67% of patients with a locally advanced or local recurrent pancreatic carcinoma through a short radiotherapy scheme (single arm phase 2 study)
It is hypothesized that aerobic exercise therapy (AET) and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) are both effective in improving activities and QoL in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) compared to the usual care.
This study is therefore aimed at quantifying the relative contribution of the two major receptor systhems involved in S(+) ketamine and methadone induced analgesia and side effects( respiratory depression,sedation,miosis).
The hypothesis is that minimal invasive surgical ablation through video assisted thoracoscopic surgey as a primary treatment in patients suffering from (longstanding) persistent atrial fibrillation is superior to transvenous catheter ablation
Pyridostigmine will activate the parasympathetic cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway and therefore reduce inflammatory signs and symptoms in patients with complex regional pain syndrome.
This study will test the hypothesis that Sevoflurane attenuates oxidative damage, complement, enothelial, thrombocyt and neutrophil activation and inflammation to human ischemia reperfusion injury of the myocardium.
Progesterone treatment for women with a short cervical length is effective in reducing the risk of preterm delivery.
The null-hypothesis predicts that Inlife is not feasible. The alternative hypothesis predicts that the Inlife intervention is evaluated as being feasible. We expect the alternative hypothesis to be true. Inlife will be feasible and minor revisions…
1) The knowledge of the legal aspects of health care and medical negligence/errors among medical residents is larger in the intervention group than for the control group 2) The flipped classroom model is effective as a teaching method in post…
The EuraHS-QoL questionnaire is a valid instrument to measure quality-of-life before and after ventral hernia repair.
Refinement of the CHIP prediction rule will lead to a more efficient use of head CT in patients with minor head injury
Orthomanual treatment is of additional value in the painclinic treatment of chronic low back pain.
To use the GSV for bypass surgery it is of the utmost importance to subtract the vein with as limited damage as possible. To harvest the GSV three techniques are generally used, namely; Standard reversed technique using additional incisions in the…
Objective: The overall aim of this project is to asses the prognostic value of the characteristics of an echocardiographic surrogate pressure-volume loop on mortality and morbidity due to PAH.
