Aan de hand van deze literatuurstudie worden de symptomen van centrale sensitisatie bij fibromalgiepatiënten in kaart gebracht en er wordt bepaald of deze kenmerkend zijn voor centrale sensitisatie bij deze patiëntengroep. Hiervoor moeten ze door minstens twee RCT's of CT's bevestigd worden. Daarnaast …

In this report the properties of the E-field sheet have been measured. Also the connection between the E-field sheet and the pc has been developed. For visualisation of the data a GUI has been made in Matlab which also reads out the data from the DAQ card. Before a measurement on the clinical equipment …

The effect of infill panels on the response of RC frames subjected to seismic action is widely recognised and has been subject of numerous experimental investigations, while several attempts to model it analytically have been reported. In this paper, the implementation, within a fibre-based Finite Elements …

Background: Drug resistance is a major problem in ovarian cancer. Triggering apoptosis using death ligands such as tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) might overcome chemoresistance. Methods: We investigated whether acquired cisplatin resistance affects sensitivity to recombinant …

OBJECTIVE: Repeated hemarthrosis in hemophilia causes arthropathy with pain and dysfunction. The Hemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS) was developed to be more sensitive for detecting arthropathy than the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) physical examination scale, especially for children and those …

This study investigated the effect of work pace on workload, motor variability and fatigue during light assembly work. Upper extremity kinematics and electromyography (EMG) were obtained on a cycle-to-cycle basis for eight participants during two conditions, corresponding to "normal" and "high" work …

Delirium is often unrecognized in ICU patients and associated with poor outcome. Screening for ICU delirium is recommended by several medical organizations to improve early diagnosis and treatment. The Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) has high sensitivity and specificity for delirium …

Background Overhydration in chronic renal insufficiency may lead to an increased risk of mortality. In dialysis patients bio-impedance analysis is used to determine volume status, whereas, in pre-dialysis patients volume status is mostly determined on „clinical assessment‟. In this study comparison between …

Formation of the pro-apoptotic death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) can be initiated in cancer cells via binding of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) to its two pro-apoptotic receptors, TRAIL receptor 1 (TRAIL-R1) and TRAIL-R2. Primary components of the DISC are trimerized …

A psycho-organic disorder such as delirium is a frequently occurring and serious disorder especially on Intensive Care units. Nowadays, more attention is paid to this problem by physicians, nurses and by researchers, but assessment of delirium in all ICU patients is still not common practice. If patients …
