Unravelling the potential mechanisms behind hospitalization-associated disability in older patients

Reichardt, Lucienne A.; Aarden, Jesse J. (Kenniscentrum Achieve); van Seben, Rosanne; van der Schaaf, Marike; Engelbert, Raoul H.H.; Bosch, Jos A.; Buurman, Bianca M.

BACKGROUND: Over 30 % of older patients experience hospitalization-associated disability (HAD) (i.e., loss of independence in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)) after an acute hospitalization. Despite its high prevalence, the mechanisms that underlie HAD remain elusive. This paper describes the protocol …

Evaluation of bioelectrical impedance analysis in critically Ill patients

Kuchnia, Adam; Earthman, Carrie; Teigen, Levi; Cole, Abigail; Mourtzakis, Marina; Paris, Michael; Looijaard, Willem; Weijs, Peter (Lectoraat Voeding En Beweging); Oudemans-van Straaten, Heleen; Beilman, Gregory; Day, Andrew; Leung, Roger; Compher, Charlene; Dhaliwal, Rupinder; Peterson, Sarah; Roosevelt, Hannah; Heyland, Daren K

BACKGROUND: In critically ill patients, muscle loss is associated with adverse outcomes. Raw bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) parameters (eg, phase angle [PA] and impedance ratio [IR]) have received attention as potential markers of muscularity, nutrition status, and clinical outcomes. Our objective …

Feasibility of bioelectrical impedance analysis in persons with severe intellectual and visual disabilities

Havinga-Top, Thamar; Waninge, Aly (Participation And Health Of Persons With Intellectual And Visual Disabilities); van der Schans, Cees (Healthy Ageing, Allied Health Care And Nursing); Jager, Harriët (Malnutrition And Healthy Ageing)

Background: Body composition measurements provide importanti nformation about physical fitness and nutritional status. People with severe intellectual and visual disabilities (SIVD) have an increased risk for altered body composition. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) has been evidenced as a reliable …

The multilayer control scheme: a strategy to guide n-robots formations with obstacle avoidance

Brandão, Alexandre Santos; Rampinelli, Vinicius Thiago Lecco; Martins, Felipe Nascimento (Sensors And Smart Systems); Sarcinelli-Filho, Mário; Carelli, Ricardo

A multilayer scheme is here proposed to implement coordinated control of a group of mobile robots. Specifically, a trajectory tracking controller is proposed to coordinately guide a platoon of robots, with an obstacle deviation subsystem based on virtual forces and mechanical impedance implemented in …

Validity of bioelectrical impedance analysis to assess fat-free mass in head and neck cancer patients

Jager-Wittenaar, Harriët (Malnutrition And Healthy Ageing); Dijkstra, Pieter; Earthman, Carrie; Krijnen, Wim (Statistical Techniques For Applied Research); Langendijk, Johannes; van der Laan, Bernard; Pruim, Jan; Roodenburg, Jan

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) may be used to assess fat free mass (FFM) with reasonable validity based on mean-level comparisons, but differences between BIA and DXA may vary by about 4 kg in an individual patient. These results require confirmation in a larger sample of HNC (Head and neck cancer) …

Parameter verification of a hybrid MRI Hyperthermia applicator

P. Baronner (Student); M.C. Vloemans (Begeleider); A.M. Notenboom (Begeleider)

Cancer is a worldwidehuman health problem.This is why much effortis put in finding solutions and treatments for this disease. One of the emerging adjuvant cancer treatments, hyperthermia, is applied by heating the tumourtissue, and is shown to increase the effects of radio and/ or chemotherapy. Because …

Validity of bioelectrical impedance analysis to assess fat−free mass in head and neck cancer patients

Jager-Wittenaar, Harriët (Malnutrition And Healthy Ageing); Dijkstra, Pieter; Earthman, Carrie; Krijnen, Wim (Statistical Techniques For Applied Research); Langendijk, Johannes A.; van der Laan, Bernard; Pruim, Jan; Roodenburg, Jan

Assessment and monitoring of fat-free mass (FFM) is of clinical importance, because FFM is reflective of body cell mass, the total mass of protein-rich, metabolically active cells which is affected during malnutrition and therefore related to clinical outcome. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is …

Bepalen van volumestatus in eindstadium van chronische nierinsufficiëntie; klinische blik versus bio-impedantie meting

g bours (Begeleider); sylvia aarts (Student); f van de sande (Begeleider)

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 …

Cancer-related fatigue

van Weert, Ellen; Hoekstra-Weebers, Josette; Otter, Renée; Postema, Klaas; Sanderman, Robbert; van der Schans, Cees (Healthy Ageing, Allied Health Care And Nursing)

BACKGROUND: The aims of the study were to examine the effects of a multidimensional rehabilitation program on cancer-related fatigue, to examine concurrent predictors of fatigue, and to investigate whether change in fatigue over time was associated with change in predictors. METHODS: SAMPLE: 72 cancer …
