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 "…
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…
Ingested protein derived amino acids are primarily used for synthesis of new protein, secondly all surplus is oxidized for energy. Exercise can influence protein metabolism and has shown in pilot experiments to reduce protein oxidation when exercise…
We hypothesize that TIPS placement has an significant effect on drug metabolism and bile acid metabolism.
Colchicine admission attenuates inflammatory response of monocytes and neutrophils stimulated with MSU crystals, isolated from patients with chronic coronary artery disease after colchicine 0.5mg daily during one month, compared to placebo
The primary objective of this study is to investigate if a specifically designed VR-game is able to activate the pathophysiological substrate associated with OCD in OCD patients, as opposed to healthy controls. This will be investigated by…
The hypothesis is that the test food with the lower glycemic response exerts a more positive effect on exercise performance than the test food with a higher glycemic response.
Primary objective: To determine the safety of once daily inhalation of the recommended daily dose of tobramycin with the Akita® and the PARI-LC® Plus nebulizer in patients with CF. Systemic absorption can be used as surrogate parameter for safety.…
We hypothesize that a single night of short sleep duration (4 hours), compared to normal sleep duration (8 hours) reduces metabolic flexibility, increases insulin resistance and thereby reduces HPA-reactivity. Furthermore, we hypothesize that a…
Modulation of phosphate intake can affect the antiproteinuric efficacy of RAAS-blockade therapy in CKD patients
Visual cues, presented in augmented reality can reduce the severity of freezing of gait evoked during turning in patients with Parkinson’s disease. This reduction is significantly stronger for visual cues than for conventional auditory cues, as well…
We hypothesize that Iberogast reduces heartburn in patients with functional dyspepsia through an effect on both oesophageal hypersensitivity to acid and on the incidence of reflux episodes.
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.
(1) The ‘Ontbijtkoek’ based on teff yields a lower glycemic response (has a lower GI) than the ‘Ontbijtkoek’ based on rye and both ‘Ontbijtkoeken’ will yield a lower glycemic response than the reference test product, white bread; (2) The ‘…
Primary hypotheses The primary hypothesis of the present study is that included patients who receive continuous or intermittent oxygen and bilevel positive pressure ventilation during fixed work rate treadmill exercise tests have shorter recovery…
Currently, the effects of nutrition or specific food components, including those on absorption or metabolism, are mostly studied via parameters in blood samples. To reduce the burden for participants of nutritional intervention studies, there is a…
We hypothesized that methylphenidate will improve certain aspects of language comprehension and creativity.
The primary objective of this study is to validate MRI as a functional measuring device for directly monitoring gastric emptying in vivo
