The carotid artery reactivity-test will have independent prognostic value compared to the current, standard prognostic tests (i.e. ankle-brachial-index, walking distance) for patients with peripheral artery disease
By using a surgical safety checklist, the incidence of postoperative complications will decrease.
Liver and adipose tissue levels as well as serum levels of RBP4 are higher in obese subjects compared to lean subjects. In obese subjects tissue and serum levels of RPB4 are correlated with insulin sensitivity and hepatic triglyceride content.
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.
We hypothesize that: 1. Elderly in each of the intervention neighbourhoods will have more favorable outcomes: A. Elderly living in neighbourhoods were the both physical and social environmental changes are made will have the most favorable outcomes…

Insomnia patients form a heterogeneous group, each phenotypes of insomnia will show different therapeutic demands.
There is no reliable biological marker for the diagnosis of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), so AMS is presently assessed with questionnaires: the Lake Louise self-report score (LLSRS) and the abbreviated Environmental Symptoms Questionnaire (ESQc).…
The aim of the study is the assessment of microcirculatory alterations induced by xenon or sevoflurane anesthesia in patients with compromised left ventricular systolic function.
1. TGC with insulin in continuous tube fed patients is superior to TGC with insulin in regularly fed patients; 2. Vildagliptin as add-on therapy to insulin mediated TGC results in less hypoglycemic episodes compared to placebo.
1. Oncologist non-verbal behavior impacts on breast cancer patients' trust; 2. A high amount of eye contact, a patient-oriented posture and regular smiling induce higher trust than low amounts of eye contact, distant posture and a lack of…
It is expected that, for each of the three CBM paradigms, participants in the intervention conditions will show a greater decrease in weekly alcohol use than participants in the control conditions. Generalization of each specific CBM paradigm to…

1. Flat adenomas are common findings in patients at average- or at high-risk for CRC; 2. Flat adenomas are characterized by a different molecular profile as compared to polypoid lesions; these molecular features are associated with an increased risk…
1. In Barrett Esophagus (BE), probe-based laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) provides better correlation with the histological diagnosis compared to detailed inspection with Narrow Band Imaging (NBI), reducing the high rate of false-positive findings with…
Information on the dynamics and shape of the device and how these change over time will improve our understanding about the fixation and/or sealing of the device, which may help in stent selection and in designing stent grafts that are more durable.
1. What are characteristic (neuro)physiological factors of fatigue in disease-free cancer patients? 2. To which degree can these factors be influenced by Cognitive Behavior Therapy?
