Postoperative change in deltoid volume following reverse shoulder arthroplasty is related to functional outcome
Background: Injury rate and injury severity of elderly cyclists due to self-induced cycle accidents increase with age. Starting at the age of 55 years, injury risk increases with a factor 4 at the age of 75 years. Injury mechanisms such as slippery…
The combination of breast surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have a profound effect on the deep myofascial level and in turn, they create a vicious circle of adhesions and lack of mobility and pain in muscles, fasciae and joints around the…
Combination therapy with telaprevir/ ribavirin is as effective as the current standard of care with peginterferon-alfa/ ribavirin for the treatment of acute Hepatitis C in HIV-infected individuals.
Targeting a higher SpO2 (95% lower limit) in children with moderate-severe BPD from 36 weeks PMA and onwards, will possibly lead to superior growth of normal lung tissue (assessed indirectly by body weight) at 6 months corrected age, compared to a…
Our primary objective is to compare the short and medium term (up to 6 months) clinical results in pain and function of the Bauerfeind SecuTec OA brace with only conservative treatment (no brace) in the management of patients with medial knee OA and…
Our hypothesis is that custom made insoles and a home-based exercise program would be superior to a home-based exercise program alone at 12 weeks follow-up.
In adult congenital heart disease patients with exercise-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension, treatment with bosentan lowers the mean pulmonary arterial pressure, which may result in improvement of the cardiopulmonary circulation,…
Ghrelin administration in comatose patients after cardiac arrest is safe, causes no serious adverse events relatable to ghrelin use and it improves functional recovery in these patients.
Addition of alternative tests (TEG/ROTEM® and/or TGA) which reflect the whole hemostatic status of a patient might help recognizing the level of thrombin formation and fibrinolysis and improve care in ECMO patients and potentially reduce the risk of…
Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disorder (IBD) with a major impact on quality of life. Mucosal healing is an important treatment outcome to prevent long term complications of the disease. Regulatory M2 type macrophages play a…
By giving high dose, radical, radiotherapy to patients with recurrent lung cancer, the overall survival can be prolonged and local control rate can be increased which can be done with acceptable toxicity for the irradiated normal tissues.
The effectiveness of school-based ('Op Volle Kracht') and computerized ('SPARX') depression prevention programs will be tested in a Dutch sample of adolescent girls with elevated depressive symptoms. The programs will be tested…
Is a prevention program, based on principles of health behavior change, education about playing-related musculoskeletal disorders and postural training, more effective in preventing and/ or reducing disabilities from musculoskeletal complaints in…

The hypothesis is, when adolescents are screened for problems at an early stage and do get help, they will be less absent from school and will have less psychosocial problems.
The main hypothesis is that use of Oncokompas will be superior to care as usual to improve patient activation, self-efficacy and quality of life, and it is expected that Oncokompas will improve quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) at acceptable costs…
We hypothesize that increased disease activity (i.e. more inflammation) is associated with an increased risk of developing ID.
The use of paracetamol reduces total opioid requirement in the ED and during the first 24 hours.
