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…
Eating rate may be related to overweight. Due to a high eating rate, there may not be sufficient time to develop appropriate feelings of satiety, leading to overconsumption. We hypothesise that when eating rate is high, the ad libitum food intake is…
Using Irreversible Electroporation on locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma deemed unresectable during explorative laparotomy, will increase progression free survival and median overall survival.
We hypothesize that a conversation aid and information brochure for patients, and a communication training for physicians improves satisfaction and quality of the discussion about potential treatment restrictions at the internal medicine outpatient…
We believe that a routine graft biopsy at 6 and 12 months together with graft function represents the best surrogate marker for late graft loss.
We expect that STRAVA users who will stop with using the self-tracker will experience body empowerment, while people who are using no self-tracker and will start using STRAVA will experience body alienation.
Information on the dynamics and shape of the device and how these change over time will improve our understanding about the fixation and/or sealing of the device, which may help in stent selection and in designing stent grafts that are more durable.
The implicit training (AAT) added to standard behaviour therapy will reduce relapse rates after treatment when compared to the control group.
Natural killer cells are cells of the innate immunesystem and can kill tumor cells without prior sensitization. By infusing these cells through a catheter in the intraperitoneal cavity, ovarian carcinoma cells can be traced and killed. This phase 1…
Recently, (changes in) the gut microbiome (flora / bacteria) have been associated with obesity and insulin resistance, and other cardiovascular risk factors or atherogenic processes. Venous thrombosis shares these risk factors, probably by a shared…
Addition of alternative tests (TEG/ROTEM® and/or TGA) which reflect the whole hemostatic status of a patient might help recognizing the level of thrombin formation and fibrinolysis and improve care in ECMO patients and potentially reduce the risk of…
What is the prevalence of dysplasia or carcinoma in patients with Crohn's disease that undergo surveillance endoscopy with chromoendoscopy-guided confocal laser endomicroscopy?
The manual knee-rotation-test in 90 degree flection is reliable
Chemodenervation by lidocaine of the m. vastus intermedius and the m. rectus femoris improves gait pattern in stroke patients presenting a stiff knee gait.
Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disorder of unknown cause. Current therapy is immunosuppressive, not curative and often ineffective, as we do not thoroughly understand the underlying pathogenesis. Oral corticosteroids are the first line of therapy in…
In this RCT we investigate the effects of two school-based physical activity interventions (aerobic exercises versus coordinative exercises) in primary school children on executive functions and academic achievement. We hypothesize that both aerobic…

We hypothesize that, with increased arm abduction moment loading with a constant exerted abduction force, primary arm moment generators (deltoid muscle) will have a greater increase in activation (EMG) as compared to primary arm/glenohumeral…
