The primary hypothesis is that tubal patency test by a HyFoSy procedure is less painful compared to tubal patency test by a hysterosalpingography.
We hypothesize that motivational and behavioral characteristics of eating behavior, in addition to genetic and environmental factors play a major role in the development of obesity. We aim to identify obesity subtypes based on these factors.
In patients with side effects, during VNS, there is: 1. A decrease in lung function parameters; 2. A reduced increase in heart rate; 3. A reduced increase in blood pressure.
The implant stability for the GTS is equal to the Taperloc in the initial two years and also thereafter. Focus will be on proximal or distal migration of the centre of the stem, migration of the tip, wear and survival.
In adult congenital heart disease patients with exercise-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension, treatment with bosentan lowers the mean pulmonary arterial pressure, which may result in improvement of the cardiopulmonary circulation,…
This study hypothesizes that an oxytocin inhalation will increase prosocial behavior and reduces social anxiety during social interaction specifically in patients with SAD in comparison to a clinical and healthy control group.
We hypothesized that avoidance of drainage after pancreaticoduodenectomy leads to less secondary interventions, less complications and a reduction in length of hospital stay.
Is a prevention program, based on principles of health behavior change, education about playing-related musculoskeletal disorders and postural training, more effective in preventing and/ or reducing disabilities from musculoskeletal complaints in…
Recurrent miscarriages is defined as three or more consecutive miscarriages prior to the 20th week of gestation. Whenever the diagnosis ‘recurrent miscarriages’ is established, an underlying cause may be identified in about 25-50% of cases. A…
Using low field stimulation on two brain regions simultaneously, we aim to specifically alter the connectivity between one or more pairs of brain areas.
Rituximab (antiCD20) in association with chemotherapy has extended the survival of adult patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Also in adults, there is accumulating evidence of a benefit of Rituximab for Primary mediastinal large B-…
The hypothesis of this study is that segmental kyphosis can be maintained after removal of the short-segment pedicle-screw instrumentation in biological young patients with traumatic thoracolumbar burst fractures. In these patients in addition to…
Background: Injury rate and injury severity of elderly cyclists due to self-induced cycle accidents increase with age. Starting at the age of 55 years, injury risk increases with a factor 4 at the age of 75 years. Injury mechanisms such as slippery…
Combination therapy with telaprevir/ ribavirin is as effective as the current standard of care with peginterferon-alfa/ ribavirin for the treatment of acute Hepatitis C in HIV-infected individuals.
Our hypothesis is that custom made insoles and a home-based exercise program would be superior to a home-based exercise program alone at 12 weeks follow-up.
In chronic pain the processing of sensational and painful stimuli will be disturbed. In patients with effective spinal cord stimulation the processing will normalize.
Peer assessment, as a educational guideline implementation strategy, results in more improvement of evidence based reasoning than case based discussion.
To investigate whether the addition of preoperative radiochemotherapy to the standard treatment, consisting of explorative laparotomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy if possible, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy, improves the overall survival (analyzed by…
The goal of the present study is to investigate whether the blockade of NA-transmission by beta-antagonist propranolol reduces the common EMDR effects (reduced vividness/emotionality of emotional memories) in order to find out if NA-release (evoked…
