We hypothesize that approximately 2/3 of venous resections are justified by tumor invasion. Future studies on (intraoperative) imaging might help increase the number of justified venous resection. The prognostic value of depth of invasion will help…
Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is a major problem in older adults worldwide. Whether poor diet quality is an indicator for the long-term development of PEM is currently unknown. The aim of this study is to determine whether poor diet quality is…
The main objective of this study is to compare motion detection thresholds in glaucoma patients with healthy subjects as a function of oscillation frequency and luminance.
- 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…
The implementation of feeding in highcare will lead to improved patient satisfaction, decrease in postoperative nausea and vomiting and a decrease in postoperative gastro-intestinal complications like ileus.
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.
NSCLC spreads using the blood. Tumour cells in the circulating system are called circulating tumour cells, and are deemed the cause of metastases, making CTCs a mayor factor in therapy efficacy and prognosis. We believe that the different…
Ajmaline induces more pronounced electrical and mechanical dysfunction of those myocardial areas that are affected in the early stage of ACM. Therefore, this ajmaline provocation and electrocardiographic imaging could identify those mutation…
Project goal: To increase the percentage of HIV-infected immigrant patients with an HIV-RNA <20 copies/ml (successful treatment) and to reduce the transmission of HIV within this ‘key population’(non-European immigrants). Additionally,…
1) Several symptoms will not improve after removal. 2) Symptoms are similar to other tubal occlusion methods
A clinical pathway with adjusted treatment thresholds for patients who need supplemental oxygen will reduce the number of unnecessary bronchodilator administrations.
Our hypothesis is that CO2 lasertonsillotomy under local anesthesia is followed by a significantly shorter recovery period, that it is an effective treatment for tonsil related complaints and that it has better secondary outcome results compared to…
The Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer attenuation coefficient (RNFL-ac) in patients with Parkinson's disease differs significantly from the RNFL-ac in healthy controls.
THE LACK OF PROTECTION BY BCG MAY BE THE CONSEQUENCE OF REGULATORY T CELL INDUCTION OR ACTIVATION. SECONDLY, RECOGNITION OF MYCOBACTERIAL ANTIGENS MAY BE DIFFERENT AFTER INFECTION AND VACCINATION.
It is hypothesized that the anteromedial portal (AMP) technique would result in lower MRI signal intensity and thereby better graft maturity due to the better rotational stability compared to the conventional transtibial (TT) technique.
The effectiveness of a health game based on an Evaluative Conditioning paradigm compared to a control game will be tested in a Dutch sample of adolescents. It is expected that the adolescents in the intervention condition will show a increased…
Fetal MRI can be helpfull in detecting CMV related lesions and can help in this way the counseling of patients in the future.
