Fluorescent near-infrared imaging can be used to identify the ureters using a low dose methylene blue.
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.
The overall aim of this proposed study is to gain insight into the target attainment of the administered antibiotics during the two-stage arthroplasty exchange, in order to determine the efficacy in relation to the minimal inhibitory concentration (…
We expect that the access-related intervention rate and medical costs will be reduced by 40% when correction of vascular access stenosis is triggered by clinically apparent access dysfunction rather than by asymptomatic flow reduction detected by…
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…
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.…
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…
It is hypothesized that in a primary health care population, a more condensed form of schema therapy (ST) might be sufficient for an effective reduction of personality problems.
The course of resting energy expenditure (REE), measured by indirect calorimetry changes based on standard versus high enteral protein feeding in the ICU.
Acute complex skin defects will heal using a dermal substitute (Glyaderm).
It is expected that using the DEM-DISC will decrease the number of unmet needs and increase the number of met needs in people with dementia and their informal caregivers. Informal caregivers using DEM-DISC are expected to feel less burdened and will…
In euthyroid women with thyroid autoimmunity and recurrent miscarriage, levothyroxine started preconceptional, increases live births beyond 24 completed weeks by at least 20%, compared to placebo.
For patients with a diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) the efficacy of the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab combined with salvage chemotherapy in the second-line setting has decreased due to more effective first-line treatment with…
Powerspiral enteroscopy provides an effective endoscopic procedure. Total small-bowel enteroscopy can be achieved, in one or two sessions, even in the presence of altered gastro-intestinal anatomy. It provides a great reduction of the enteroscopy…
The aim of this study is to test, by means of a randomized controlled trial, the hypothesis that application of PAS therapy with low-frequency acoustic vibrations to demented patients in nursing homes will lead to a significant decrease of nocturnal…
We hypothesise that HCP provides reproducible and accurate measurements of LV volume changes during different CRT pacing settings which are comparable with invasive conductance catheter measurements.
