Informed consent procedures and information provision differs between different transplantation centers and transplantation professionals in The Netherlands. Donor knowledge and satisfaction may be influenced by the manner of information provision…
Recently, (changes in) the gut microbiome (flora / bacteria) have been associated with obesity and insulin resistance, and other cardiovascular risk factors or atherogenic processes. Venous thrombosis shares these risk factors, probably by a shared…
There seems to be a biphasic process of bone mineral density (BMD) changes in osetoarthritis (OA). An increased bone mineral density (BMD) and a specific distribution of BMD in the cortical of the subchondral plates and below in the trabecular bone…
Several reasons for clozapine discontinuation are known, but the current evidence identifying patients who are at risk of discontinuation of clozapine is small and not always consistent. Also cultural differences may question if international…
The aim of the study is: 1. To investigate the benefits and risks of hormonal substitution after prophylactic adnectomy in women with an increased risk for breast- and/or ovarian cancer due to a genetic predisposition; 2. To compare the effects and…
The promotion of safe sports participation proves effective in a physical education setting, resulting in a reduction of lower extremity injuries in children.
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
1. In the first intervention group, the % of subjects who meet the national physical activity guideline will significantly increase; 2. In the second intervention group the % of subjects who meet the national physical activity guideline will…
We hypothesise that exercise may reduce risk of breast cancer, either directly or indirectly through a reduction in abdominal fat mass, by favouring the sex hormone profile and decreased insulin. Because the association between breast cancer and…
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…

Cross-transmission of antibiotic-resistant pathogens can be prevented by using closed suction systems (CSS) instead of open suction systems (OSS) in mechanically ventilated ICU patients.
We hypothesise endo/epicardial substrate homogenization in a first approach to be superior to endocardial substrate homogenization alone, in terms of recurrence on follow-up.
The objectives of this pilot are (1) to test and develop an experimental setup to determine contrast sensitivity, visual field and adaptation time at high light conditions. (2) To perform a pilot study with 10 healthy subject.
MIA is a good alternative for the CA, with comparable diagnostic performance. It will lead to an increase in clinical autopsy rates, which have significantly decreased over the last decades in both academic and non-academic medical centers.
Stimulation of the right DLPFC of alcohol dependent patients will decrease self-reported craving and recude relapse rates. Furthermore it will increase behavioral control and normalize brain activation patterns.
