Intermittent neurogenic claudication due to lumbar stenosis is frequently diagnosed among older persons. Due to an aging population it is to be expected the incidence of lumbar stenosis will increase over time. Patients are operated on because of…
The objective of this study is to assess whether or not apical surgery that is carried out with the help of a microscope has a higher success rate than apical surgery without the use of a microscope. No RCT is found in present literature (Del Fabbro…
Objective: To investigate whether binocular patching in combination with posture adherence is superior to posture adherence alone in achieving visualization of the superior fundus quadrants or not.
To compare the confidence of the interventional radiologist in diagnosing and treating arterial stenoses and occlusions by digital subtraction angiography with contrast concentrations of 300, 240 and 140 mg iodine per ml. Also, we will compare the…
Demonstrate that with contemporary cardiac CT scan protocols good opacification of the coronary arteries can be achieved, that is similar to low-osmolar contrast media injected at the same iodine delivery rate. In addition, we will investigate the…
The aim of this prospective study is the prevention of progression of premalignant lesions to invasive head and neck cancer by modifying the out-patient follow up and patient management.
To assess the provoking effect of partial sleep deprivation on paroxysmal neurological events in a EMU setting, in people with possible epileptic seizures.
The proposed study will test whether the intervention-based parenting assessment of the parents* capacity to improve (VIPP-APP; Video-Feedback intervention to promote Positive Parenting for the Assessment of Parenting Potential) contributes to…
To evaluate the clinical role of MRI/TRUS fusion target biopsy on prostate cancer detection, compared with other target biopsy strategies, in men with a persistent clinical suspicion on prostate cancer and at least one negative TRUS guided biopsy…
Primairy objectives:1.To investigate whether a non-invasive imaging guided strategy (either CTA or CMR) early in the diagnostic process reduces the number of patients with at least one ICA during the initial admission as compared to routine clinical…
The overall goal of this study is to further validate and improve the sentinel node procedure for prostate cancer using ICG-99mTc-nanocolloid. The first objective aims at further validation of the sentinel node procedure for prostate cancer via…
The objective of this trial is to investigate whether Eltrombopag added to standard immunosuppressive treatment increases the rate of early (at three months) complete response and blood counts and can be use as front-line therapy for SAA treatment.
(1) To compare adenoma miss rates (AMR) between Endocuff Vision-assisted colonoscopy (EAC) and conventionalcolonoscopy (CC)(2) To compare adenoma detection rates (ADR) between EAC and CC(3) To assess whether a proposed increased ADR and reduced AMR…
In this study we want to validate a risk score for chronic dizziness with persistent impairment in older dizzy patients in general practice. Furthermore, we want to investigate the effectiveness of a risk factor-guided, i.e. a prognosis-oriented,…
To identify the most effective and safe long-term S. aureus carriage decolonization strategy in HPN patients. Ultimately this willlead to less antimicrobial resistance, less catheter removals and lower mortality rates. Also, other chronic…
This trial will prospectively test the use of ultrasound imaging and pleural fluid analysis in improving the management of patients with malignant pleural effusion.Primary objective: Establish if the use of TUS before and during the first 24-72…
To evaluate the efficacy of computational simulation for the planning of vascular access surgery in hemodialysis patients.
1) To prove that it is possible to safely reduce the number of invasive cystoscopies during follow-up (FUP) of patients with NMIBC with a low/intermediate risk of recurrence or progression. 2) To prove that addition of urine tests to the follow-up…
In a cohort of people after a minor stroke, we aim to investigate whether aforementioned balance tests are sensitive enough to detect subtle balance impairments. Secondly, we will investigate whether fall rates differ between people after a minor…
The main objective of the study is to demonstrate the utility and safetyof the IFN-γ ELISPOT marker for the stratification of kidney transplantrecipients into low and high IS regimens. The enrichment study will testnon-inferiority of low IS regimen…
