In the first 6 months Liraglutide affects weight more than CBT, but CBT provides weight maintenance after 12 months.
1. The primary research inquiry being raised concerns anaesthesia related causes: Is it possible that adapting an amount of Sevoflurane, from 1 MAC (minimum alveolar concentration) (2,5 vol%) to ½ MAC (1,25 vol%) in an MRI scan can reduce the…
Recent research shows that obesity is associated with changed bowel flora composition with a relative abundance of the two dominant bacterial divisions, the Bacteroidetes and the Firmicutes. Interestingly, this specific bacteria associated condition…
Our main objective is to investigate whether an augmented CBT leads to the reduction of depression and anxiety symptoms in stroke patients. We will compare the outcomes of this experimental treatment with a control intervention (i.e., computerized…
To determine the epidemiology, diagnosis and prognosis of enterovirus (EV) and parechovirus (HPeV) infection in Dutch children. Hypotheses: 1. EVs are one of the most important viral agents of infection in Dutch children; 2. EVs are the major cause…
We hypothesize that Moroccan-Dutch differ from native-Dutch in stress reactivity. This difference is not explained by group differences in known non-social risk factors for psychosis. Affirmative findings in the current study would support to the…
Stroke patients frequently complain of excessive fatigue, both in post-acute and in the chronic stage of their illness. The prevalence of severe fatigue is estimated between 28-73%, even in patients who seem to recover well. This may lead to…
After training one arm with a prosthetic simulator it is expected that the other arm will improve.
The OptiScanner provides accurate blood glucose levels in critically ill patients.
1. Volume intervention by a diuretic and moderate sodium diet potentiates the antiproteinuric effects of aliskiren in patients with residual albuminuria during conventional RAAS-blockade; 2. Aliskiren neutralizes the reactive rise in plasma renin…
Publishing a guideline is not enough. An implementation strategy is needed to improve pain reporting, pain measurement and adequate pain therapy.
Higher occlusion rate in the EVLA group seen at 1 week postoperative. More recurrences seen in the VNUS group seen at long term. No differences in short term recovery results between both groups.
Clinically, children with syndromic craniosynostosis seem to have an increased risk of learning disabilities and behavioral problems in comparison with the general population.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic, progressive lung disease. The prevalence and associated costs of COPD are projected to increase the upcoming decades. The treatment of COPD aims to reduce risk factors, prevent disease…
Our hypothesis is that reverse arthroplasty has a better functional outcome and patient satisfaction than hemi-arthoplasty in patients with a three or four part proximal humerus fracture.
Postpartum urinary retention (PUR) is a complication with a varying prevalence, from 0.5 - 18%. For asymptomatic PUR, i.e. the ability to void but with a post residual volume (PVRV) of ≥150 ml, the estimation of prevalence is between 10-45%.…
Intranasal administration of cobalamin can be used as an alternative for the standard intramuscular injection of cobalamin in cobalamin deficient patients.
To evaluate the impact of three different implementation strategies for implementing IBSM in current clinical practice, we have proposed the following three hypotheses: 1. Hypothesis 1 (Reach): More general practices will participate in IBSM in the…
The hypothesis to be tested is the feasibility of arm A and arm B.
1. Providing children with tailored non-smoking advice will prevent them from becoming a smoker; 2. Children receiving tailored non-smoking advice will have stronger cognitions in favour of non-smoking; 3. Prompting children through e-mail and SMS…
