Our hypothesis is, that the extrinsic mechanism in the etiology of SIS is only valid for a subgroup of patients; complaints of SIS can be caused by 1) a pathologic pattern of arm-scapula movements caused by a disrupted balance in muscle forces,…
In the PROHTECT-3 trial, we offer hrHPV testing on self-sampled (cervico-)vaginal specimens obtained by a lavage device. The sensitivity and specificity for high grade CIN and cervical cancer (CIN2+/CIN3+) of two triage strategies of hrHPV positive…
There have been several studies that showed a possible positive effect of electrical stimulation on wound healing. One of the working principles is increasing blood flow. This could mean that by giving frequent electrical stimulation on the foot and…
A nutrient dense infant formula promotes growth more effectively than current practice.
Evidence based medicine is the standard for current clinical practice. Guidelines and decision rules are developed to support medical decision making. Application of decision rules are supposed to improve efficiency and quality of care by early…

A first hypothesis is that an advanced quality improvement program (AQIP) significantly improves clinical outcomes in persons with type 2 diabetes compared to a usual quality improvement program (UQIP). The second hypothesis is that persons with…
To investigate whether the clinical outcome is similar after the implantation of the Resolute Integrity stent versus the Promus Element stent (non-inferiority test).
The null hypothesis of the primary outcome measure is that there will be no significant differences in DASH scores 6 months after surgery between patients who underwent plate fixation or intramedullary fixation with a TEN. The alternate hypothesis…
We hypothesize that membrane-residing gangliosides are elevated in obese insulin resistant subjects and correlate to peripheral insulin resistance. Furthermore, we hypothesize that the perturbation of the insulin signaling cascade by elevated…
We hypothesize that children who will follow this structured functional PRE strength training program will increase in muscle strength, which accordingly will lead to functional improvement in physical functioning, but with no negative effect…
The objective of this study is to investigate whether thoracic radiotherapy can improve 1year survival in …
After receiving PST, stroke patients will have a more effective coping style followed by a better quality of life.
Failing in the functionality of patients, who underwent a cervical laminectomy, isn't relate to kyphosis of the cervical spine.
