Immunocompromised patients (ICPs) are at increased risk of infections, some of which are preventable by vaccination. However, ICPs are also less likely to mount effective post-vaccination immune responses, leading to a clinical paradox: precisely…
personality traitsinfluence the assessment of echocardiography images with respect to evaluation of LV EF and image quality.
We postulate that the increased cardiovascular risk in ANCA-associated vasculitis can be explained by both traditional and disease related risk factors
Blue Light Imaging (BLI) and Linked Color Imaging (LCI) have additional value for the visualization of Barrett's neoplasia, when compared to White Light Endoscopy (WLE).
The objectives of this pilot are (1) to test and develop an experimental setup to determine contrast sensitivity, visual field and adaptation time at high light conditions. (2) To perform a pilot study with 10 healthy subject.
The reported incidence of delirium in the intensive care unit varies from 16 to 89%. A delirium is associated with increased mortality, increased hospital length of stay, higher cost of care and cognitive impairment. The Pain, Agitation and Delirium…
We expect that patients with a IDH mutation demonstrate an increase in 2-HG on MR spectroscopy. We also expect a positive correlation between in vivo 2-HG on MR spectroscopy and ex vivo concentration in tissue.
A reduced peritoneal exposure to glucose and thereby to glucose degradation products will influence the incidence and severity of peritonitis and may modify peritoneal membrane characteristics.
Hypothesis A: We expect a decline in measured musclemass during the initial days of hospital admission, also we do not expect hydrational changes to be of great influence on estimated muscle mass. Hypothesis B: We expect that the time of the day on…
The eNose is able to differentiate between BE patients with dysplastic or neoplastic lesions and patients with NDBE
The objectives of this study are to determine the contrast sensitivity, visual field and adaptation time at high light conditions.
The hypothesis: the overall survival of AML patients is influenced by AML type, age, genetic aberrancies, comorbidity and performance status of the patient as well as type of treatment.
Breast-conserving surgery followed by radiotherapy is a safe and effective procedure to treat early stage breast cancer. In many women, this type of treatment gives beside a good survival a good cosmetic result. However, some women will be troubled…
It can be expected that the during the tasks with resistance, the movements are performed slower, less smooth and with less movement range. Also a larger amplitude in muscle activation can be expected. During the tasks with gravity compensation,…
Previously, Knower et al. suggested that baseline oxygen saturation (SpO2) of 95% or less is a good screening test for oxygen desaturation during a 6MWT (sensitivity: 73%; negative predictive value: 84%), especially in COPD patients with a DLCO…
guideline treatment is not applicable for octgogenerians with rectal adenocarcinoma
The primary objective of this study is to review the prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse after laparoscopic hysterectomy compared to vaginal hysterectomy. Because the uterosacral ligaments are the important structure for vault suspension after…
Patients undergoing breast conserving surgery in combination with oncoplastic surgery are more satisfied with the cosmetic result and have a higher quality of life
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…
This is an exploratory study to further delineate the microenvironment of the PT and (S)LNs in cervical cancer.
