BACKGROUND: The original Rainbow Model of Integrated Care Measurement Tool (RMIC-MT) is based on the Rainbow Model of Integrated Care (RMIC), which provides a comprehensive theoretical framework for integrated care. To translate and adapt the original care provider version of the RMIC-MT and evaluate …

In this research several methods were developed and validated using the Supermini 200 wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. A multielement was calibrated containing 26 elements and corrected for interference according to the de Jongh algorithm. The limits of detection and quantification …

This research is to investigate to what extend the NIOSH-7605 and ISO-16740 methods can be used to determine insoluble hexavalent chromium in air. The methods were tested and optimized on the extraction and sample preparation steps. After optimization the methods were validation on limit of detection …

An attempt was made to develop a method for the determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis and chemical sample desorption of the 3M 3500 passive diffusion sampler. The method included a complex mixture of 205 polar and non-polar …

In dit onderzoek zijn recente ontwikkelingen in Machine Learning (ML) en Deep Learning (DL) met betrekking tot borst-, fibroglandulair (FG)- en tumorweefselsegmentatie in MRI-mammografie in kaart gebracht, de prestaties van deze segmentatiesystemen zijn vergeleken en als laatste worden toekomst toepassingsmogelijkheden …

Background Strength testing of the serratus anterior muscle with hand held dynamometry (HDD) in supine subjects has low reproducibility, and is influenced by compensatory activity of other muscles like the pectoralis major and upper trapezius. Previously, two manual maximum voluntary isometric contraction …

Objective: The most common methods to calculate energy costs are based on measured oxygen uptake during walking a standardized distance or time. Unfortunately, it is unclear which method is most reliable to determine energy cost of walking in stroke survivors. The objective of this study was to evaluate …

Background There currently is no field test available for measuring maximal exercise capacity in people with stroke. Objective To determine the feasibility, reproducibility and validity of the Shuttle Test (ST) to measure exercise capacity in people with stroke. Design Longitudinal study design. Setting Rehabilitation …

OBJECTIVE: To assess the reliability and validity of a shortened version of the Rainbow Model of Integrated Care (RMIC) measurement tool (MT). The original version of the measurement tool has been modified (shortened) for the Australian context. DESIGN: Validation of the psychometric properties of the …

It can be concluded that the HBM4EU serum sample preparation method is suitable for Effect-Directed Analysis. The method allows a recovery of all bioactive compounds of interest from serum in the EDA products, with little loss of compounds: bioassay spectra and chromatograms. Nevertheless, the HBM4EU …
