1. Cysteine is an essential amino acid for newborn preterm infants; 2. Cysteine requirements change rapidly with postnatal age; 3. The change in cysteine requirement with age is based upon cystathionase activity; 4. Intestinal cystathionase activity…
The intervention will result in: - higher observed sensitivity and more positive attitudes towards sensitive caregiving in professional caregivers - lower cortisol levels, higher wellbeing and more attachment security in infants - less separation…
We expect that parents involved in the program (as compared to controls) will be more involved in high qualitative communication on alcohol topics, have more confidence in discussing alcohol matters and greater efficacy to prevent their children…
Custom made orthotic insoles by a podiatrist are (cost)effective in reducing pain and improving function in patients with plantar fasciitis compared to sham orthotic insoles and education alone.
To demonstrate equivalency of the Cardica ™ C - Port xA anastomosis compared to hand sutured anastomoses in patients undergoing CABG with respect to 12 months patency at distal anastomosis site.
Advanced lung utltrasound, c.q. color doppler imaging and dynamic air bronchograms can aid in differentiating pneumonia from atelectasis
The specimen contains less evaluable endometrium after SIS than before SIS.
In line with a previous pilot study we hypothesize that 3MDR will significantly decrease PTSD symptom severity in treatment resistant veterans with chronic PTSD in comparison with treatment as usual.
We presume that reducing the fasting period by adding a carbohydrate drink 2-3 hours prior to surgery is a good and feasible option to decrease orthostatic intolerance and -hypotension. Moreover, the pre- and postoperative well-being is thought to…
Stroke patients frequently complain of excessive fatigue, both in post-acute and in the chronic stage of their illness. The prevalence of severe fatigue is estimated between 28-73%, even in patients who seem to recover well. This may lead to…
Suppression of SWS, without changing total sleep time, may affect total energy expenditure (TEE), activity induced energy expenditure (AEE), non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), endocrinological parameters and energy intake.
We hypothesize that children who will follow this structured functional PRE strength training program will increase in muscle strength, which accordingly will lead to functional improvement in physical functioning, but with no negative effect…
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?
We expect maternal hyperoxygenation in the presence of fetal distress during labor to reduce abnormalities in the fetal heart rate tracing and to reduce the need for assisted birth or a emergency caesarean section without severe maternal or fetal…
In patients with non-insulin dependent type 2 diabetes, intensive, short term physical activity is associated with decreased blood glucose levels and number of cardiovascular complications. In patients who are insulin dependent however, the effects…
We hypothesize that atopiform dermatitis is a separate entity with specific characteristics, which needs recognition in order to be diagnosed and treated appropriately.
The aim of this study is to demonstrate that procedural sedation with propofol and esketamine is more effective and will result in less cardiopulmonary depression than sedation with propofol and the opioid alfentanil. Less side effects should also…
Imaging by HR-pQCT is more precise and more sensitive than CR and MRI for demonstrating differences (from controls) and changes in 3D microarchitecture of cortical bone (number, size and location of erosions, osteophytes), trabecular bone (…
Demonstrate that the HydroThermAblation™ procedure is equally effective compared to the Novasure™ procedure in achieving patent satisfaction at twelve months post-treatment for menorrhagia secondary to DUB.
