We hypothesize that the CPA Talking-with-children-intervention will have a beneficial effect on the mental health and quality of life of maltreated children. We expect that children who participate in the CPA investigation (CPA Talking-with-…
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…
Patients with a BMI > 30 kg/m2 in the ICU have a higher incidence of pressure ulcers and wound infections in the ICU compared with patients with a BMI 18-25kg/m2. They develop them sooner during admittance and the severity and time to…
Epidural Analgesia shows promising results in other procedures and is therefore thought to be effective in embolization of uterine leiomyomata as well.
An online motivational interviewing intervention which includes a virtual coach results into the higher levels of participation, evaluation and higher effects on intrinsic motivation, commitment and physical activity behaviour, compared to online…
In this explorative study we will examine the impact of daily ischemic preconditioning on brachial artery endothelial function (measured as FMD%, before and after IRI) during 7 days in the non-shunt arm and lower limb in patients with end-stage…
Electrical stimulation on the foot and lower leg will increase the blood flow and thereby the amount of oxygen to the skin. Our overall hypothesis is that this will help to reduce the risk of decubitus on the heel. The specific hypothesis for this…
We hypothesize that by following the intervention the participants will learn a more active lifestyle.
Disturbances in the circadian rhythm could be a possible cause for development of delirium.
Simplified FLT PET parameter.
There are two research questions: 1. Does cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in groups lead to a significant decrease of fatigue and functional impairment of CFS patients compared to a waiting list condition? 2. For which patient is group therapy a…
Cannabis users with and without psychotic illness differ in CB1 receptor availability in striatal and extrastriatal regions as measured with PET and [18F] MK9470
(1) Written imaginal exposure results in beneficial effects compared to no-intervention (2) Beneficial effects are greater for written imaginal exposure in the past tense than for written imaginal exposure in the present tense
Fluorescent near-infrared imaging can accurately detect pancreatic cancer non-invasively during a whipple procedure.
Before we start with our research on assessing the diagnostic value of TMS-EEG in epilepsy, we perform this pilot study to investigate a number of methodological aspects. To be able to develop a sound protocol these aspects need to be explored in…
Based on the results obtained in our previous study (Ruiter, Kolk, Rietveld, Dijkstra & Lotgering, 2011), we hypothesise that: - The experimental changes to the scenarios and new quantitative scoring procedure of the Amsterdam-Nijmegen…
To determine whether a second dose of IVIg in GBS patients with a poor prognosis improves functional outcome after 4 weeks. Secondary outcomes include functional outcome after 8, 12 and 26 weeks, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of…
The aim of this study is to objectively assess 3D and functional outcomes of upper blepharoplasty on periorbital volume, dry eyes, peripheral vision, electrical activity of the frontal muscles and wellbeing in two different surgical techniques. We…
To test the hypothesis that observing the data and waveforms displayed on an respiratory function monitor during the provision of positive pressure ventilation to preterm infants at birth will increase the proportion of tidal volumes within a…
The main hypothesis is that use of Oncokompas will be superior to care as usual to reduce caregiver burden and to improve self-efficacy and quality of life, and it is expected that Oncokompas will improve quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) at…
