Objective Central sensitization is present in different pain conditions, including chronic whiplash-associated disorders. In the absence of a gold standard method of assessment to determine the presence of central sensitization, quantitative sensory testing is currently understood as an optimal proxy. …

Learning environment designs at the boundary of school and work can be characterised as integrative because they integrate features from the contexts of school and work. Many different manifestations of such integrative learning environments are found in current vocational education, both in senior secondary …

In deze systematische review zal wordt een overzicht gegeven van verschillende aspecten met betrekking tot de diagnostische waarde van een CT-thorax bij patiënten met verdachte of bewezen COVID-19. In kaart wordt gebracht wat de diagnostische waarde van de CT-scan is wanneer de RT-PCR test onbekend of …

This article provides a study of precarisation through the lens of dress work: the mundane practice of dressing the body for work. Based on intimate in-depth wardrobe interviews and analyses of workers’ narratives about their dressing practices, we develop a perspective on what insecure work feels like …

The turbidity in Lake Markermeer limits the primary production by phototrophic algae and the growth of plants. In turn, this limits the amount of fish and other organisms that live in and around Lake Markermeer in its food sources. To determine if there are organisms that limit the resuspension, a survey …

BACKGROUND: In the current study changes in lower-limb motor flexibility of patients undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction were evaluated in relation to fear of harm. METHODS: Fourteen patients were measured pre- and post-surgery, and data were compared to those of a single measurement …

Following total knee replacement (TKR), patients often persist in maladaptive motor behavior which they developed before surgery to cope with symptoms of osteoarthritis. An important challenge in physical therapy is to detect, recognize and change such undesired movement behavior. The goal of this study …

Most endogenous viruses, an important proportion of eukaryote genomes, are doomed to slowly decay. Little is known, however, on how they evolve when they confer a benefit to their host. Bracoviruses are essential for the parasitism success of parasitoid wasps, whose genomes they integrated ~103 million …

Study Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Background Quantitative mechanical sensory testing (QST) assesses sensory functioning and detects functional changes in (central) nociceptive processing. In the current low back pain literature it has been hypothesized that these functional changes …

The heterogeneous nature of environmental DNA (eDNA) and its effects on species detection and community composition estimates has been highlighted in several studies in the past decades. Mostly in the context of spatial distribution over large areas, in fewer occasions looking at spatial distribution …
