The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether skeletal muscle glucose metabolism, perioperative glucose control and hemodynamics are affected by increasing physical activity in the weeks preceding surgery in patients identified with…
Primary Objective: Assess the incidence of wound infections in patients treated with venous stenting and AV fistula and Prevena negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT).Secondary Objective(s): Assess the incidence of lymph leakage in patients treated…
exclusion or demonstration of a diverticulum in patients undergoing a laparoscopic pull-through
Objective: The main objective is to compare staples versus sutures for wound closure after Total Hip Arthroplasty.
To prove that lymph vessels in the legs can be visualized with methylene blue, so they can be spared during surgery, what possibly may lead to decreased postoperative lymph edema.Hypothesis: Methylene blue visualizes lymph vessels in the legs, so…
The main objective of the present project is to assess the impact of gender, physical inactivity, obesity, and bariatric bypass surgery on basal and postprandial muscle protein synthesis rates. This will be investigated by means of three different…
- To determine the long-term results of Salter pelvic osteotomies.- To determine the differences in outcome between an open reduction at a relatively young age and an open reduction at the time of the pelvic osteotomy.
Objective: Primary: Demonstrate the feasibility of PexT in patients waiting for AWR.Secondary: Demonstrate a possible effect of PexT in patient waiting for AWR on physical capacity (VO2max) and health-related quality of life (HRQL).
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the AltaSeal® implants in providing bilateral mechanical occlusion of the fallopian tubes and in preventing pregnancy.Additional objectives are as follows:*…
The objective of this study is to assess fatigue, physical activity, psychological wellbeing and quality of life in breast cancer patients during and shortly after adjuvant chemotherapy. We will study how often en how intense the symptoms occur. We…
To assess the incidence and severity of embolic events during spinal instrumentation surgery with intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography monitoring.
Primary objectives: To compare the dose volume histograms (DVHs) of the planning target volume (PTV) in prone and supine position, with 3D conformal and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) planning in patients who receive pelvic irradiation To…
The purpose of the study is threefold. First, to describe the course of quality of life after renal transplantation and to identify predictors of (un)succesful adjustment. Second, to investigate intra- and interindividual differences that influence…
Developing an evidence-based guideline for the diagnosis and surgical treatment of children with severe gastro-esophageal reflux disease.
The primary objective of this second phase study is to estimate the occurrence of anastomotic leakage when the C-seal is used.Secondary objectives are:* Feasibility of applying the C-seal, especially considering the improved attachement to the…
To demonstrate that percutaneous flexor tenotomy is an effective way to treat poorly healing ulcers in diabetic patients with hammertoes. We want to measure this effect by determining the healing time, percentage healed wounds and decrease in size…
Because the increasing fall problem, mainly due to an impaired gait and balance ability and partly caused by trips, this study will investigate fall risk by detecting fall related movement characteristics and by detecting stumbles inclusive the…
The pattern of BMD behind the press fit isoelastic acetabular component during the two years after implantation.
In The Netherlands 2% of women and 4% of men suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). NCPAP, the gold standard therapy for moderate to severe OSAS has been shown to reduce blood pressure in OSAS. NCPAP therapy is however hampered by…
