Prospective multicenter randomized (1:1) Investigator Sponsored Trial, in which 150 consecutive patients candidates for percutaneous intervention of haemodialysis access will be randomly assigned to one of two study arms: Treatment Arm: paclitaxel drug-eluting balloon (DEB) dilatation using the APERTO-balloon Control Arm: standard percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). The aim is to ...

*Background: During chronic HIV-1 infection the immune system is chronically hyperactivated. This hyperactivation is considered as the main cause of CD4+ T-cell loss. Furthermore, HIV replicates most efficiently in activated CD4+ T-cells. In this study we try to inhibit the activation of the immune system with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). Previous ...

Omeprazole is a highly effective drug for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in infants. Infants, aged 0-12 months, require a non-standard dose of omeprazole. Due to this fact extemporaneous formulations of omeprazole are administered to these infants. The oral bioavailability of omeprazole in nonproprietary formulations may be unpredictable ...

Children who arrive at the emergency unit with an unstable both-bone midshaft forearm fracture will be asked to join the trial. If the fracture will be unstable during reposition in the operating room, a randomization between 1 or 2 ESIN will be done. The aftertreatment will be the same for ...

Children who arrive at the emergency unit with a non-dislocated both-bone midshaft forearm fracture will be asked to join the trial. After informed consent we will do a randomization between 6 weeks above elbow cast and 3 weeks above elbow cast in combination with 3 weeks under elbow cast. Outpatient ...

The Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre developed a new method to identify patients with HNPCC. This method appeared cost-effective and feasible. Using this new method 70% of the HNPCC patients will be identified as compared to less than 30% when the current method is used. However, this new method does ...
