We hypothesized a beneficial effect of IUI in couples with an isolated cervical factor. Furthermore we hypothesized that the post-coital test can identify those couples who would benefit from IUI without ovarian hyperstimulation.
1-2 intramuscular injections with 100 mg dexamethason in persons without arthritis but with elevated serum levels of rheumatoid factor and or anti-CCP will lead to a reduction in antibody concentrations after 6 months and possibly to a lower…
Care providers are more likely to adhere to clinical practice guidelines when they receive guideline-based decision support by an electronic system.
In this study, we expect to decrease the number of referrals and repeat smears by immediately referring those women who are positive for hrHPV with mildly abnormal smears for colposcopically-directed biopsies. Thus, for the remaining women with BMD…
An upfront RBCT aiming at low-normal Hb levels will ameliorate anemia-caused tumor hypoxia-related resistance to chemotherapy before the start of chemotherapy and may decrease secondary anemia-induced endogenous release of cytokines like VEGF,…
Donor-specific antibodies form a significant barrier in transplantation of highly pre-sensitized dialysis patients. Increased waiting time is associated with increased morbidity and mortality among these patients. Thus, there is a need to further…
The EEG profile in responders to methylphenidate will be differ from the EEG profile in non-responders to methylphenidate (i.e. higher total power, increased theta/beta ratio and theta/alpha ratio).
Pre- and probiotics are able to change the composition of the altered intestinal microbiota that is found in allergic patients, indicating beneficial effects of these nutritional components in the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases. The…
It is our hypothesis that a combined life style intervention of exercise and weight loss will result in a reduction of pain and improvement of function of the affected hip joint, which will postpone a chirurgical intervention.
The vesselseal instrument results in shorter operating time and less intraoperative bloodloss than the conventional bipolar coagulation in patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy and/or salpingo-oophorectomy

1. To examine the effect of a multidisciplinary treatment program in comparison to a short monodisciplinary intervention (education by a specialized nurse in a 30 minutes session) on pain, limitations in activities and well-being; 2. To examine the…
It is hypothesized, that mental practice embedded in daily multi approach therapy in Nursing Homes will improve daily activities of adult stroke patients more and/or faster compared to therapy as usual alone.
Neonatal jaundice due to unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia occurs in almost all preterm infants and is potentially neurotoxic. The current treatment modalities (phototherapy and exchange transfusion) are based on total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels,…
Gemcitabine-carboplatin is better tolerable than paclitaxel-carboplatin in elderly patients having advanced NSCLC as assessed with quality of life questionnairs.
It is postulated that the investigational treatment has superior efficacy based on observations of longterm remissions in a number of patients, although this has to be balanced against potentially higher toxicity.
Longacting coumarin derivatives can reach a more stable anticoagulant effect. Shortacting coumarins are more easy to adjust. The halflife of warfarin lies between the halflife of acenocoumarol and phenprocoumon and can thereby possibly have the…
Anastomotic strictures are common after esophageal resection. These strictures often need multiple dilation procedures with Savary bougies, and some even fail despite many dilations. Based on the literature and our pilot study of electrocautery…
