Targeted Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) can distinguish benign pancreatic diseases, such as pancreatitis, from pancreatic malignancies during the diagnostic proces of patients with an uncertain diagnosis and treatment plan.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a brain disease, in which myelin sheaths in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. If repair of myelin damage is incomplete, nerve terminals will be irreversibly destroyed, leading to neurological symptoms. Ineffective…
Enhanced endoscopic imaging, including high-definition white light endoscopy and virtual chromoendoscopy, alongside targeted biopsies provides an accurate and reproducible assessment of chronic atrophic gastritis disease extent and staging, when…
We hypothesize that age-related changes in hepatic and intestinal drug metabolism affect the pharmacokinetics of midazolam.
Childhood obesity is an important public health problem. Replacing Sugar Sweetened Beverages by the consumption of water and systematically increasing physical activity levels are promising health behavioral changes that may prevent childhood…
Urinary and (peripheral and central) intravenous catheters are widely used in hospitalized patients, although some serious complications can occur with the use of these catheters. Up to 56% of the catheters do not have an appropriate indication. The…
We assume that: - Compared to teens in the control condition, those who receive the self-persuasion intervention (motivation condition) will develop more intrinsic motivation, which results in more healthy snacking. - Compared to teens in the…
We expect brain activity and brain reactivity to change as satiation progresses. ROI are : Brainstem (dorsal vagal complex (DVC), nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), parabrachial nucleus (PBN)), Hypothalamus, Insula, overlying operculum, secondary:…
H1: playing a memory game with fruit increases fruit intake among children H2: this is particularly for normal weight children

The aim of the current study is to investigate the effectiveness of two online trainings: action tendency training and selective inhibition training on increasing smoking cessation among Chinese smokes. Hypotheses: 1: It is expected that, for each…
The use of ECLS can lead to systemic inflammatory response. It is likely that ECLS affects red blood cell and platelet function after its initiation, the time course of these changes and their clinical relevance is yet unclear.
Can imaging surveillance frequency be safely reduced in a select group of EVAR patients, i.e. patients with an asymptomatic infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) that underwent EVAR without abnormalities on the initial postoperative CTA.
Neuropsychiatric symptoms (e.g. apathy, depression, anxiety, agitation) are very common in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and are negatively related to various clinical outcomes. However, despite growing…
We hypothesize that anxiety symptoms worsen after follow-up imaging compared to patients baseline anxiety levels.
Addition of alternative tests (TEG/ROTEM® and/or TGA) which reflect the whole hemostatic status of a patient might help recognizing the level of thrombin formation and fibrinolysis and improve care in ECMO patients and potentially reduce the risk of…
Technology applied to physiotherapy could contribute to identify subgroups in non-specific low back pain patients.
1. Using a wobble cushion and tangle will lead to improved performance on a math test, reading comprehension test and on a sustained attention test for children with more problems with sensory information processing (both low and high threshold) in…
Adolescence represents a crucial stage in the maturation of executive functioning (e.g. working memory and inhibition) and mental health (i.e. behavioral and emotional functioning, and self-concept), which both are important predictors of academic…
