Several investigators have suggested using dietary carbohydrate restriction as a therapeutic strategy to allow the host to successfully compete against a tumor [2, 7, 19]. The induced ketosis and increased lipolysis after low carbohydrate diets have…
What are the motivations of women in the Netherlands to choose UC and what are their beliefs on childbirth in general and in relation to current Dutch maternity care? This study primarily aims at understanding women’s motivations in declining (parts…
It is expected that the respiratory microbiome will be relatively stable over time in non-infectious patients.
Circulating tumour cells can help to diagnose Non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), making the painful and invasive procedure of a lungbiopsy and bronchoscopy unnecesary. However, for this, we need to harvest higher amounts of CTC's and in more…
The rationale for this study is to assess the visibility and positional accuracy of the laser marks. Combined with VLE imagery, the targeting enabled by the laser marking system could have the potential to increase the diagnostic accuracy of current…
Differences in the healthcare, workplace, legislative, and personal systems (see figure) as well as evaluator and patient characteristics may better explain differences in FCE results
We hypothesize that by using different imaging techniques, we can give a good characterization of the bone marrow microenvironment in advanced-stage myelofibrosis, before and during treatment with ruxolitinib.
With implementation of the AWR we expect a reduction in the total amount of radiographs requested, without missing any clinical relevant fractures. We also expect a reduction in overall waiting times at the ED and a total amount of cost savings…
Fatigue affects central nervous system function and, in the setting of the medical profession, could influence specialist performance, patient care and safety. ln contrast to other industries, for example the aviation industry, there are no "…
Primary aim: 1. To investigate whether differences exist in the mitochondrial energy generating capacity of skeletal muscle of statin users with SAMS compared to statin users without SAMS and controls (non-statin users). Secondary aims: 2A. To…
To determine the prevalence of posttraumatic osteoarthritis following a PLD-PLFDs in a cohort of young non-osteoporotic patients and correlation with objective and subjective outcome measures.
Health outcomes for people at risk of or suffering from non-communicable lung diseases in low-resource settings will be improved by developing capacity for implementation of evidence-based interventions for prevention, diagnosis and treatment in…
