There is clear medical need in pediatric high-grade MDS and JMML to control disease pre-SCT without the disadvantages associated with intensive chemotherapy. So far no agents have been successfully applied in this window, or are specifically…
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…
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…
Several open-label pilot studies have shown a promising effect of intrapyloric botulinum toxin injection on symptoms in severe gastroparesis. However, data from randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies are not yet available. We intend to…
1. The point of the skin with best possible transcutaneous nerve stimulation correlates with the point of the skin most superficial to the nerves stimulated within a range of 3 mm; 2. Ultrasound will reveal a significant number of sensitive…
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.
