The collaborative care approach is expected to be more effective and more cost-effective compared to care as usual.
(stress-sensitive) Patients with functional dyspepsia have a change in the dopaminergic system, through chronic stress, what leads to visceral hypersensitivity and therefore dyspeptic symptoms.
Imiquimod, an immunomodulator, has been shown safe and effective in the treatment of external genital warts caused by low risk human papillomavirus (HPV). Therefore, it is hypothesized that this topical treatment may also be effective against…
The primary aim of the study is: 1. To assess the role of an early intensification of two "AML" induction blocks versus protocol Ib directly after induction, in a randomized way in MR and HR patients. Secondary aims are: 2. To assess the…
To compare the efficacy of maintenance therapy with an equal monthly dose of imiglucerase when administered at a frequency of once every four weeks versus once every one or two weeks, in adult type I Gaucher disease patients in stable and good…
Measurement of airways hyperresponsiveness by mannitol (Aridol©) as compared to methacholine saves time to the lung function technician, while being as sensitive to discern hyperresponsive from normo-responsive, and being at least equally acceptable…
Adherence to diabetes guideines is moderate, especially on educational aspects. Changes in lifestyle is a major element of the patient treatment. Studies on motivational Interviewing show promising results among dieticians. There are no primary care…
We hypothesize that systemic aPC will benefit patients with ALI/ARDS, as caused by inflammatory as well as infectious disorders, in terms of gas exchange, edema and capillary leak in these lungs, as well as in ventilator-days (duration of mechanical…
T-cell inhibition with Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) attenuates T-cell number, T-cell activation and T-cell – monocyte interaction, thereby minimizing the T-cell-driven inflammatory amplification loop. The latter will contribute to improvement of anti…
Local corticosteroid injections combined with usual care will have a positive effect on experienced recovery and will reduce pain at 3 and 12 months follow up compared to usual care alone.
There is a clinically and statistically significant difference in the percentage of patients who achieve and maintain clinical remission (defined as DAS < 1.6) and in functional ability and progression of radiological joint damage after 1…
Psychological factors (e.g. personality style) influence the course of CRPS-I but not the onset of this syndrome.
Does nurse-led follow up at home lead to improved quality of life an satifaction and a reduction of costs compared to medical follow up at the outpatient clinic, without compromising the medical condition of patients?
Ulcerative colitis is characterized by abnormal activation of the colon epithelium, which is considered to be a central pathogenic mechanism. Activation of colon epithelium cells in UC is associated with an abnormal high expression of Toll-like…
We hypothesize that e-health, consisting of internet guided monitoring and self management training online, for patients with atopic dermatitis combines cost savings with an improvement in quality of life.
Through stress the mast cells become activated and by their vaso-active substances the mucosa permeability will become increased. Therefore the mucosa is easier to penetrated by microbes and acid. This increased permeability will leads to…
Cognitive behaviour therapy and Self-examination therapy are both more effective in reducing depressive complaints than a waiting list control group.
A peptide representing the first eleven residues of hLF (hLF1-11) was shown to be effective in killing a variety of bacteria in vivo. The objective is to develop hLF1-11 as an effective and safe antibacterial and antifungal for the treatment of…
Bipolar devices will minimize the disadvantages of the monopolar device; risk of electrolyte disturbances by using saline irrigation, bleeding and the risk of nervous stimulation
Higher order aberrations, like spherical aberration, decreases visual performance.
