1. The observation of videos of walking people has a beneficial effect on the amount of physical activity and on physical performance in older adults with dementia 2. The observation of videos of walking people has beneficial effects on cognition…
- A new sensorbased gait analysis measurement as a simple and quick diagnostic/monitoring tool to evaluate joint status and changes in gait pattern in hemophilia patients. - Possibility to detect a disturbed gait pattern in clinically asymptomatic…
Children with CP experience limitations in motor activities and participation in the community, predominantly caused by impairments in muscle function. Aside from abnormal posturing due to spasticity, muscle weakness can significantly contribute to…
The aim of this study is threefold: (1) to test the effectiveness of OVK in reducing symptoms of depression compared to treatment as usual (TAU), (2) to identify mechanisms that can explain program effects, and (3) to test the effects of OVK on…
While head and neck surgeons aim for a 1 cm healthy tissue margin during resection of OSCC, pathological examination often reveals a smaller margin. Our hypothesis is that this occurs due to shrinkage of mucosa following the resection and due to the…
We hypothesize that daily oral administration of increasing dosages of Eubacterium hallii, an anaerobic intestinal bacterial strain, can exert beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity and liver fat.
In the Netherlands, case managers play an essential role in the care chain for people with dementia living in the community. Because the profession has just been started, there is a lack of evidence-based practice to provide treatment for agitation…
Compression therapy is not necessary after VNUS. Patients receiving no compression therapy after VNUS will have similar outcomes in post-operative pain, oedema, and HRQOL, post-operative complications, time to full recovery.
Prevention of parastomal hernia with a prosthetic mesh in a laparoscopic constructed end-colostomy .
The use of a low weight polypropylene mesh(PPM) in a sublay position reduce the incidence of parastomal hernia in laparoscopic stoma formation.
Hard-core smokers are smokers who have been smoking for many years and who do not intend to quit. This makes them vulnerable to disease and death. Since hard-core smokers are unlikely to quit smoking, before aiming at actually quitting, we first…
We hypothesize a lung–protective mechanical ventilation using lower tidal volumes during general anesthesia for minimally invasive transthoracic esophagectomy to protect against postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing minimally…
To investigate whether patients prefer to be approached by mailed questionnaires for annual follow-up assessment after PCI procedures versus telephone interviews or email-based follow-up
We hypothesize this difference is due to differences in the mechanisms by which the individuals can withstand and/or adapt to the stress conditions applied in the clinical model and that these mechanisms are of key importance in our ability to…
To validate in vivo the velocity offset correction method as published by Walker PG et al. (JMRI 3, 521 1993) such that it can assure velocity offsets < 0.6 cm/s at the ascending aorta and pulmonary artery for 2D through-plane phase contrast…
For cochlear implanted (CI) patients speech recognition in noise still remains one of the most challenging tasks. One way to improve performance in noise is to benefit from binaural hearing (hearing with two ears). For individuals with residual…
Nasotracheal intubation is a frequently employed intubation technique, but passage of the tube through the nasal cavity may lacerate the mucosa, and create a fausse route. In the present study we therefore aim to evaluate whether a new strategy that…
The effects of cross-education on loss of muscle strength and knee function after ACL reconstruction
There is over 30% loss of voluntary muscle force in the operated leg after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. Patients could return to sport or work sooner by minimizing muscle weakness. As a novel approach, we propose to…
Of all babies that die after 25 or more weeks gestation, 40% are small-for-gestational-age (SGA). In the Netherlands third trimester ultrasonography (US) is increasingly being used to monitor foetal growth even though evidence on its effectiveness…
The hypothesis is that rapid on-site evaluation increases diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNA aof lymph nodes
1) Whether endoscopists are able to learn optical diagnosis of colonic polyps using NBI by a validated training and feedback program 2) Whether these endoscopists are able to reach the threshold provided by the PIVI guidelines for predicting the…
