The dynamic inflow effect denotes the unsteady aerodynamic response to fast changes in rotor loading due to a gradual adaption of the wake. This does lead to load overshoots. The objective of the paper was to increase the understanding of that effect based on pitch step experiments on a 1.8 m diameter …

BACKGROUND: Patients with knee osteoarthritis can adapt their gait to unload the most painful knee joint in order to try to reduce pain and improve physical function. However, these gait adaptations can cause higher loads on the contralateral joints. The aim of the study was to investigate the interlimb …

PURPOSE: We investigated changes in ARDS severity and associations with outcome in COVID-19 ARDS patients. METHODS: We compared outcomes in patients with ARDS classified as 'mild', 'moderate' or 'severe' at calendar day 1, and after reclassification at calendar day 2. The primary endpoint was 28-day …

Background: Effective telemonitoring is possible through repetitive collection of electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) in patients with chronic diseases. Low adherence to telemonitoring may have a negative impact on the effectiveness, but it is unknown which factors are associated with …

Het ontwrichtende effect van de digitale transformatie is onmiskenbaar. Een belangrijke component van een digitale transformatie is de digitale strategie. Die moet helder maken wat een organisatie wil bereiken met data en technologie.

Organizations operate in a socio-economic context, and alignment with this context is key for business success.
