Ventilation-associated pneumonia (VAP) is an important complication in intubated mechanically ventilated patients. VAP is associated with a substantial increase in morbidity, mortality, and cost. One of the most relevant causes of VAP is passage of…
Usage of the 'Moveosiphon' sonothermal sink disinfection device prevents leads to a persistant decrease in colonization with multiresistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Submucous fibroids are known to be related to heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), dysmenorrhea and fertility problems. Transcervical resection of fibroids (TCRM) is a widely implemented treatment for submucous fibroids, to be precise FIGO PALM-COEIN…
The purpose of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the accuracy of the Senseonics Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (Senseonics CGM System) measurements when compared with reference standard measurements (YSI glucose analyzer). The…
Because of the high colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors should be offered colonoscopy screening, which has the potential to reduce CRC incidence and mortality. However, the diagnostic yield, cost-effectiveness and burden of…
The primary objective of this study is to develop a difficult venous access score for adults (A-DIVA score) that predicts the risk of failure on the first attempt of inserting an IV peripheral catheter, based on easily available clinical data. We…
Electrophysiological connectivity between ATN and cortical zones involved in the epilepsy of the patient in question relates to treatment response
The Dutch version of the PCRS is a valid and reliable instrument to asses self-management support
To establish the yield of pancreatic cyst surveillance, based on the recently published European consensus statement, and to identify possible alternative, more (cost) effective, surveillance strategies.
A nutrient rich diet can improve immunological functions and reduce respiratory infections
WOMET is has acceptable internal consistency, test-retest reliability, floor and ceiling effects, criterion validity, and construct validity. The WOMET is expected to be responsive to change.
It is hypothesized that imagery rescripting and imaginal exposure therapy are both effective in the treatment of nightmare disorder. Whereas it is expected that the two therapies will both be effective in the treatment of nightmares, it might be…
Whereas initially the concept of burn-out was restricted to professions in the human services domain, over time the scope has been broadened to all sorts of professions and occupational groups (Schaufeli et al., 2002). Research indicates that full…
The purpose of this study is to gain experience in diagnosing Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction (POCD) and its risk factors in surgical patients from the age of 65 years undergoing a surgical procedure for a solid malignant tumor.
Taken together, a profound understanding of the [18F]FDHT pharmacokinetics could lead to an optimization of the [18F]FDHT PET diagnostic potential; integration of DCE MRI and PET parameters would allow for a clinically feasible method with PET-MRI.…
The effects of the inflammatory response to a surgical procedure on postoperative cognitive decline in elderly cancer patients will be investigated. Preoperative inflammation level, muscle strength, nutritional status and general functioning will be…
About half of the patients with advanced CRC, RAS wild type, will respond to anti-EGFR treatment, it is unknown why not all patients benefit from this type of therapy. Although other mutations in downstream signaling molecules (e.g. B-RAF) may play…
Our hypothesis is that initiation of HMV at home, by using telemonitoring, in patients with chronic respiratory failure due to neuromuscular disease (NMD) or thoracic cage problem is not inferior compared to the start of it in a hospital based…
Our hypothesis is that our patient centred strategy will empower patients, will improve patient knowledge on tight control, and will improve patient beliefs about medicines. We hypothesize that these three improvements will increase the application…
Patients with MRI-negative localization related epilepsy have abnormalities in neurotransmitter concentrations extending over a larger portion of the brain than solely the epileptic focus. By applying a graph theoretical approach, the level of these…
