The hypothesis is that offering CBT in a group format while discontinuing antidepressant medication will reduce the high relapse rates in remitted anxiety disorder patients who discontinue pharmacological treatment.
In the present study we will investigate the pharmacokinetic profile of three doses of sublingual testosterone, and measure subjective and physiological measures of sexual functioning in healty premenopausal women. The lowest effective dose of…
To study's primary objective is to establish the effectiveness of a low-threshold guided self-help intervention targeted at improving one's self image in people with anxiety and/or depressive symptoms and low self esteem. We expect to find…
Otosclerosis is an isolated ear disorder which can cause hearing and balance impairment. The cause of these symptoms is a disturbed bone metabolism confined to the area of the otic pit, the embryologic predecessor of the inner ear. Most patients…
To investigate whether the clinical outcome is similar after the implantation of the Resolute Integrity stent versus the Promus Element stent (non-inferiority test).
Tropicamide is less effective in inhibiting accommodation and has a small window of maximum activity. Cyclopentolate is more effective but in darker pigmented subjects a significant residual accommodation can be present. Children often show…
1. Cooling to 34, 34.5 or 35°C by means of a surface cooling device, started within 4.5 hours after the onset of acute ischaemic stroke and maintained for 24 hours in awake patients on a stroke unit is safe; 2. In awake patients with ischaemic…
Primary objective: Does a 30-minute episode of helium breathing in humans decrease the amount of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines produced in whole blood after immunostimulation ex vivo?
After receiving PST, stroke patients will have a more effective coping style followed by a better quality of life.
The simplified HALO360 ablation regimen result in an easier and faster ablation procedure, while maintaining efficacy and safety.
