PPIs are prescribed very frequently and might cause potentially severe hypomagnesaemia. We carried out a study focussing on the prevalence of hypomagnesaemia in geriatric inpatients using PPI and evaluated risk factors contributing to this effect.…
In this study, the primary objective is to compare MTX-PGn levels in PBMCs of RA patients with levels in RBCs and serum and to determine the correlations with clinical response. The secondary objective is to investigate route of administration-…
The adherence of NOACs in atrial fibrillation in specific subgroups is low. Identifying these non-adherent patients in daily clinical practice is important to minimise stroke and bleeding risk. We hypothesize that NOACs are relatively often…
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 "…
The main hypothesis is that compared to TAU, BA will be more effective and less costly. A secondary goal is to explore several potential mechanisms of change, as well as predictors and moderators of treatment outcome of BA for late-life depression.
Vitamin D plays an integral role in calcium and phosphorus homeostasis. A low vitamin D status can occur as a result of reduced synthesis due to lack of sun exposure, decreased intake or absorption, increased hepatic catabolism, or decreased…
More than in any other field, the nature of healthcare, makes that the consequences of human error can take an immense size. Increasingly, people state that complaints and claims in healthcare increase and accrue. Nevertheless, recent research into…
Magnetic Resonance Direct Thrombus Imaging (MRDTI) can be an accurate test for diagnosing Upper Extremity Deep Vein thrombosis (UEDVT)
The aim of this study is to develop and validate an age-specific checklist that can help clinicians to identify elderly patients with personality disorders in need of highly specialized mental health care.
18F-FDHT PET/CT is expected to be a predictor of response in patients with metastasized castration-resistant prostate cancer to be treated with enzalutamide
A dual mobility cup with a small size head (22 mm) is more likely to result in intraprosthetic dislocation than a bigger size head (28 mm).
One way of providing binaural cues to unilateral CI recipients is to wear an acoustic hearing aid in the contralateral non-implanted ear, known as bimodal hearing. The benefits of bimodal input (e. g. speech perception in noise, localisation,…
Post-operative rehabilitation consisting of physiotherapy and solution focused therapy will reduce fatigue, improve quality of life and inrease muscle mass in surgically treated HPB patients.
Non invasive hemodynamic monitoring is as good as invasive monitoring
We hypothesize that performing a total laparoscopic hysterectomy with same day discharge is safe and leads to equal levels of patient satisfaction when compared to admittance for 1 night.
Short-term (1-year) results of renal transplantation are now excellent (over 95%). Long-term (10-year and longer) results are, however, still disappointing. Where most research has focused on immunosuppression and infections, we hypothesize that due…
Deep neuromuscular block has advantages over a moderate neuromuscular block in term of outcome (pain, respiration) but has otherwise no effects on the patient
We hypothesize that storytelling (in the form of a sub-plot), concerning the effects of (un)healthy lifestyle on heart risk, in a popular Dutch TV show for children can cause sustainable positive lifestyle change. Furthermore, we hypothesize that…
