By using a surgical safety checklist, the incidence of postoperative complications will decrease.
We expect that tDCS will enhance speed of language recovery, resulting in improved communication, quality of life and participation - associated with decreased rehabilitation consumption and cost reduction.
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.
Test weighing using a double-check weighing method is precise in determining infant intake: in more than 90% of weighings test weighing will be within 5ml of the actual amount drunk
For patients with stage III-IV irresectable melanoma who have at most 3 metastases, the tumor can be reduced in size by treating with dabrafenib and trametinib for 8 weeks. After this reduction, complete surgery of the tumor could be made possible.
The TORCH screen is often requested by gynecologists, but there rarely is a clinical relevant outcome. Isn’t it better to reduce the test indications or the number of tested infections to make the test more cost effective and clinical relevant? And…
The primary endpoint of this study is to assess if myocardial strain and strain rate -measured with tissue Doppler and 2D speckle tracking- determined with TOE is comparable with cardiac strain and strain rate determined with TTE. Secondary…
Applying to the antibiotic checklist - based on generic quality indicators for the antibiotic treatment of bacterial infections in the hospital - will likely result into better patient care in terms of adequate treatment, duration of intensive care…
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.
A 10% point difference between the experimental and control group in HPV-vaccination uptake is expected. Assuming 58% of participants daughters in the control group receive two HPV-injections and a 10% point difference between the experimental and…
Whole Body Vibration (WBV) applied via a chair has positive chronic effects on cognitive function of older people.
The aims of the present study are: 1. To give a comprehensive description of 200 adults (> 18 yr) with recently diagnosed adult-onset asthma (< 1 yr); 2. To define clinical, lung function or inflammatory or mixed phenotypes of adult…
1. Curative treatment of primary metastasized rectal cancer includes resection of primary tumor and metastases; 2. Primary tumors in case of metastasized disease are often locally advanced and need downsizing before resection; 3. Systemic treatment…
The aim of this study is to develop and evaluate a patient-oriented treatment decision aid (PTDA) focussing on shared goal-setting and decision making, which is tailored to the needs and capacities of a heterogeneous group of patients with type 2…
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…
We hypothesize that diagnostic accuracy increases when, apart from cytologic samples, material is aspirated for thin layer preparation in endoscopic-ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of masses.

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…
We expect that when the developed checklist will be used in de diagnostic proces of children with developmental and/or behavioral disability, the use of pediatric care will be more efficiently used. Over and underdiagnoses of a causal somatic…
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?
