We expect that the development of mitochondrial dysfunction lags behind the development of the hypermetabolic inflammatory state. Additionally, we hypothesize that the aggravation of factors related to the hypermetabolic inflammatory status, such as…
A first hypothesis is that an advanced quality improvement program (AQIP) significantly improves clinical outcomes in persons with type 2 diabetes compared to a usual quality improvement program (UQIP). The second hypothesis is that persons with…
To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of therapies for male subfertility.
We hypothesize that the Armed4stroke program will: 1) Increase patients self-reported level of mobility, measured with the Stroke Impact Scale. 2) Smoothen the transition to patients own home situation, which will shorten the length of stay for…
Large head metal-on-metal arthroplasties show less bone mass density loss (DEXA)and higher serum metal ion concentrations. We expect equal functional scores, greater range of motion, less dislocations, fewer periprosthetic radiolucencies and…
Increased and improved mastication will improve (or, slow down the loss of) cognition, mood and circadian rhythm of elderly people suffering from dementia.
To implement the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programme in elective gynaecological surgery on large scale in an (cost) effective manner is challenging. The traditional used breakthrough method for health care improvement on large scale…
Several studies have looked into hyperkalemia as adverse drug reaction of co-trimoxazole. Many of these previous studies have shown that co-trimoxazole induced hyperkalemia is a potentially dangerous adverse drug reaction, especially in high-risk…

This study aims to compare the immunological response to vaccination with HPV16 E6 and E7 synthetic long peptides with concomitant application of imiquimod at the vaccination site with vaccination without the concomitant application of imiquimod.
The programme at Work, will result in a significant increase of work-related self-efficacy in comparison to the usual care and a higher percentage of work participation.
We test the effect of 1) a verbal suggestion providing a strong under prediction of the pain intensity of upcoming heat stimuli as compared to 2) a verbal suggestion providing a correct prediction of the intensity and 3) a verbal suggestion…
We expect after FGC: - increased child safety (in terms of less supervision orders; and less or shorter out of home placements) - increased commitment of the broader social network of the family - increased perceived control over problems/sense of…
Intravesical instillation of BCG is a widely accepted strategy to prevent recurrence of non muscle invasive bladder cancer. The most accepted treatment schedule is induction of BCG: weeks 1 through 6 plus maintenance (weeks 1,2,3) at months 3,6 and…
