the foreign language training boosts cognitive flexibility and affects its neural underpinnings, which adds to cognitive reserve. The increase in cognitive flexibility is hypothesized to influence the experience of subjective cognitive decline.…
To investigate the uptake and effectiveness of a Dementia Risk Reduction Online lifestyle Program among middle-aged descendants of people with recently diagnosed AD or VD at participating Dutch memory clinics.
Increase in cycle endurance time after pulmonary rehabilitation using NHF oxygen supplementation will be larger compared to conventional oxygen delivery systems.
Oral fosfomycin might be an effective antibiotic to treat men with febrile urinary tract infection caused by E. coli
1. A frequency of two sessions per week is more effective than a frequency of one session per week. 2. Treatment type (EMDR vs.) ImRs moderates the frequency effect. 3. The frequency effect is mediated by memory, relationships and motivational…
The main objective of this study is to investigate which communicative strategies are most effective in increasing understanding and decreasing emotional impact in communicating increased risk for developing dementia status to persons with mild…
Poor glycaemic control, indicated by an elevated HbA1c, is correlated to poor postoperative outcome in patients with diabetes mellitus undergoing surgery. However, improving glycaemic control before surgery has not been extensively studied so far.…
We hypothesize that intramuscular gluteal corticosteroid injection is non-inferior to intra-articular corticosteroid injection in reducing knee pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
1. The level of adherence to the prostate cancer surveillance guideline will not differ significantly between GP-led and specialist-led survivorship care. 2. GP-led survivorship care will be more cost-effective than specialist-led survivorship care…
I) The Multi Component Adherence intervention (MCAI) will improve the (cost-)effectiveness of the treatment for osteoporosis at the Fracture liaison service. II) The MCAI will improve the patient's involvement with the anti-osteoporosis…
We hypothesize that cardiac output rather than blood pressure is essential for adequate cerebral perfusion during and after cerebral revascularization.
We expect that quality of life after nonoperative treatment is at least as good as after operative treatment.
It is possible to interrupt transmission of M. leprae in an endemic community by rigorous application of contact screening and chemoprophylaxis to both close contacts and a wider circle of contacts around each index patient. Post-exposure…
Firstly, it is expected that workers who get a single component intervention will sit less at the workplace compared to workers in the control condition (H1). In addition, we expect there will be differences between the three intervention conditions…
The study hypothesis is that FFCiH will maintain or improve functional status and physical activity in hospitalized stroke and geriatric patients compared to usual care.
To investigate whether myocardial blood volume (MBV) is reduced in patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease and signs and symptoms of ischemia, relative to healthy controls. The specific aims are to investigate 1) if MBV is reduced in…
Nicardipine might decrease adverse maternal and neonatal outcome due to its pharmacokinetics and fewer side-effects.
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…
