Continuous positive airway pressure on the deflated lung prevents total alveolar collapse, resulting in less local and systemic cytokine response, causing less pulmonary complications.
Anti-nociception is an existing or attainable state of pain modulation that can be reached by specific pharmacological agents coupled to individual patterns of pain modulation. Being in, or shifted into anti-nociception state of pain modulation,…
The primary aim is to determine whether a regular (hot-to-) cold shower can have a beneficial effect on immune function by reducing sickness absence. Secondary aims are to determine effects on quality of health and work productivity.
Dietary nitrate supplementation enhances exercise performance of elite athletes competing in intermittent and high-intensity sport disciplines.
Wearing earplugs at festivals will prevent hearing loss. This can be identified by the presence/absence of a transient threshold shift in a audiogram of a non earplug user in comparison to an earplug user.
The aim of the current study is to investigate and compare the actual risk of aggression and the assumed risk of aggression (by staff) in the forensic psychiatric and regular psychiatric population. The hypothesis is that the actual risk of…
Prior studies have shown reagent dependent differences in sensitivity to circulating clotting factor VII (FVII). This reagent dependent sensitivity to FVII can explain the INR differences between laboratory methods and point-of care devices found in…
We hypothesise that CAP is a safe treatment that reduces bacterial load on the wound surface and promotes wound healing.
Intensive vascular care, aimed at secundary prevention of cerebrovascular disease, is efficacious in patients with Alzheimer's disease that have vascular lesions on MRI.
Patients subject to MET review have a high in-hospital mortality (20%). Thus, understanding the outcome of patients within the first 24hr of MET review is important in developing quality improvement and interventional studies to reduce this…
Type 2 diabetes is cause by progressive beta-cell dysfunction against a background of obesity and insulin resistance in susceptible individuals. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma-mediated mechanisms are involved in the…
It is hypothised that a pain consult at the specialized pain clinic in combination with Patient Education Program is more effective in reducing average pain intensity compared to a pain consult alone. A pain consult at the specialized pain clinic is…
Systematic screening for type 2 diabetes in high-risk obese subjects, identified from the general population, can significantly reduce the diabetes-related cardiovascular morbidity and mortality by at least 25% compared with not offering a screening…
The optimal management of locoregionally advanced NSCLC is evolving. Multimodality treatment is rapidly becoming the most common approach to stage III NSCLC. ASCO guidelines recommend initial chemotherapy (platinum-based, 2 or 3 cycles) combined…
Hypothesis 1: the Groningen ULR and the Provox®2 are the same in terms of the replacement method, the burden on the patient and the convenience of the replacement and of the resistance during phonation. Hypothesis 2: the Groningen ULR has a longer…
We hypothesize that iABM patients, relative to controls, will show less addiction problems, increased health, reduced physical and psychological complaints, and reduced use of health care post-intervention and at 6 & 12 month FU Further, we…
The open preperitoneal approach in inguinal hernia repair might have the benefit of a mesh in the preferred space without the disadvantages of an endoscopic procedure.
We expect that mp-MRI, molecular urine test and Prostate Cancer Risk Calculator may be of additional value in differentiating between significant and insignificant cancers in men with an elevated PSA in the primairy diagnosis. If so, it will result…
