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…
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…
Fluorescent near-infrared imaging can accurately detect pancreatic cancer non-invasively during a whipple procedure.
High-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) DNA testing complementary to current cytology examination (i.e. Pap test) of cervical smears has shown an increased sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) for cervical cancer and its precursor lesions…
Is it possible / desirable to move Orencia treatment from the hospital to the home situation?
Stress vulnerability as reflected by cortisolreceptor gene polymorphisms, influences course of bipolar disorder defined by number of episodes, physical health and cognitive functioning.
1. To determine the reproducibility and sensitivity of the Energy Cost of Walking test (ECWT) in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, in comparison with the reproducibility and sensitivity of the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT); 2. To evaluate the 1-…
Previous randomised trials have shown the efficacy of etanercept in RA patients. In this study we will evaluate the respons of etanercept in anti-TNF naive patients compared to patients who have failed other anti-TNF. We will look for clinical…
To validate the hypothesis by Sampson on retrograde menstruation by using modern imaging modalities.
Measuring ER-density with FES-PET can be used as a predictive test to select patients sensitive for estrogen therapy.
By sufficient electrical stimulation of the ampullary nerves, a congruent vestibulo-ocular reflex will occur.
(Short) stay and, if possible, treatment at the PMU, will give an improvement in regular psychometrics or at least in some of them.
We hypothesize that early programming leads to differential brain function. A result of these changes in brain function will be differences in energy expenditure and food intake leading to different eating behaviour and differences in sensitivity to…
Primary objective: 1. To assess the prognostic value of MM related bone disease as detected by FDG-PET in terms of progression free survival; 2. To determine the conversion rate, defined as complete normalization, of FDG-PET-CT, after 3 cycles and…
We hypothesize that the ASM phenotype of asthmatic patients: 1. Changes during an experimental, rhinovirus type 16 (RV16)-induced exacerbation; 2. Is associated with enhanced airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness during an experimental, RV16-…
1. Exhaled molecular profiling will discriminate eosinophilic asthma from non-eosinophilic asthma; 2. Exhaled molecular profiling is associated with biomarkers and proteomic profiles in sputum, blood, urine and nasal lavage.
It is hypothesized that increased prenatal exposure to Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) is related to an increased risk of obesity later in life.
Post-operative AF after isolated coronary bypass graft surgery affects not only early but also late mortality. The exact mechanism of post-operative AF is still unknown. Subsequently, at present there are no diagnostic tools available to identify…
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a disease of the lungs for which adequate treatment lacks. We hypothesize that there is a role for autoimmunity in this disease.
Our primary objective is to compare the short-term (one-year follow-up) clinical results of the DePuy Delta Xtend reversed shoulder prosthesis with conservative treatment, in the management of displaced four-part fractures of the proximal humerus of…
