We hypothesize that clarifying the values of patients with incurable cancer without regular treatment options will empower patients and will create more effective patient-physician communication which helps to better attune communication to the…
We hypothesize that DM1 is accompanied by impairments in whole-body and/or muscle metabolism.
College years are considered to be a peak period for the first onset of common mental disorders. Recent studies have shown that 12 to 50% of university students experience one or multiple psychological symptoms. Mental health is associated with…
Morbidity in the post-operative phase of pulmonary surgery is characterised by impairment due to pain, dyspnoea and loss of exercise tolerance. We demonstrated previously that rehabilitation after thoracotomy is limited due to pain. Since minimal…
The study objective is to evaluate the variation of semen characteristics and testosterone levels in the general population. These age-specific reference values can be used as a control group in research in male populations in which impaired…
Proactive and reactive trough level measurements of TNFalpha blockers are useful in standard care by aiding an individualized treatment strategy, preventing loss of efficacy and reducing disease flares, while being more cost-effective than symptom-…
- Aim 1: regular physical activity reduces the risk of cardiovascular events and is associated with better survival. Earlier studies show that exercise might also have a direct positive effect on myocardial tissue, probably due to ischaemic…
MRI-ultrasound fusion biopsies of the prostate will detect more clinically relevant tumours (I.e. higher Gleason score) when compared to random ultrasound-guided biopsies in the primary prostate biopsy setting.

Submucosal irrigation with the Gum Irrigator will reduce bleeding on probing, pocketdepts and the amount of anearobic bacteria in the non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis.
The adherence of NOACs in atrial fibrillation in specific subgroups is low. Identifying these non-adherent patients in daily clinical practice is important to minimise stroke and bleeding risk. We hypothesize that NOACs are relatively often…
