By using a surgical safety checklist, the incidence of postoperative complications will decrease.
1. Regular physical follow-up can partly be replaced by nurse-led telephone follow-up, with at least similar quality of life (QoL), in breast cancer patients treated with curative intent. ( change in QoL < 5 points) 2. An informative/…
To determine the sensitivity and specificity and positive and negetive predictive value of MRI in a consecutive series of pediatric patients suspected for acute appendicitis.
In this single subject study we would like to determine whether parameter optimizing is feasible. Furthermore we want to investigate whether patients with urge symptoms have optimal benefit from different parameters than patients with non-…
We expect that there will be a restrictive condition in the first place. After a longer period there may be an obstructive condition, due to the original infection. We expect that the leucocyte count of the pleural fluid, the number of loculations…
The current study evaluates whether accurate optical diagnosis of small colorectal polyps (<10mm) can be achieved using both the endoscopic image as well as an optical device called the WavSTAT. Accurate optical diagnose could result in the…
The majority of newly diagnosed cancer patients are >65 years of age. Elderly patients are more vulnerable than younger ones, due to comorbidities and frailty. Their treatment goals and preferences may also differ greatly. This study uses a…
Urinary and (peripheral and central) intravenous catheters are widely used in hospitalized patients, although some serious complications can occur with the use of these catheters. Up to 56% of the catheters do not have an appropriate indication. The…
We hypothesize that age-related changes in hepatic and intestinal drug metabolism affect the pharmacokinetics of midazolam.
With postoperative minimal enteral feeding (MEF) the neonates can be fed completely enteral earlier than without MEF.
We expect that when the developed checklist will be used in de diagnostic proces of children with developmental and/or behavioral disability, the use of pediatric care will be more efficiently used. Over and underdiagnoses of a causal somatic…
No improvement of fixation failure will be found after the introduction of the TFNA
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…
Develop a screening tool to identify children at risk of posttraumatic stress disorder after an accident.
treatment with STB wound dressing in combination with nasal saline irrigation, after coblation of the inferior turbinates, provides better wound healing compared to nasal saline irrigations only.
NAVA (neurally adjusted ventilatory assist) is a newform of artificial respiration, based on the electrical activity of the diafragma. We want to investigate wether there are fysiological differences between the conventional mode and NAVA.
Evaluation of efficacy and safety of two different formulas of alfa-Galactosidase A, agalsidase beta (FabrazymeTM) and agalsidase alpha (ReplagalTM) in an equal dose of 0,2 mg/kg in order to detect any differences between these two drugs.
Botulinum toxin A declines the severity of tardive dyskinisias.
The overall goal of this study is to test if the analogue patient paradigm is a valid method to assess the effects of physician-patient communication. More specifically, in Phase I, we aim to test if viewing a role-played interview about a common…
Comparison of two new techniques for detection of small bowel pathology: MR enteroclysis and videocapsule enteroscopy with double-balloon enteroscopy with respect to diagnostic yield, accuracy of findings, and patient preference.
