… tumours (with growth into other structures) in particular often require intensive treatments with extensive surgery, potentially resulting in stoma placement or serious complications. This dissertation provides an insight into differences between age groups (young/old) regarding tumour characteristics, surgical treatment and quality of life in patients with rectal carcinoma. Although young patients have more unfavourable prognostic tumour characteristics than older patients, they do not have poorer …

… This strategy involves mental visualisation of the task, breathing exercise, and watching a video prior to engaging in simulations. Evaluation of its effectiveness was through measurement stress levels and performance scores. Interviews, both in groups and individually, were also conducted to gauge the trainees’ perceptions and the applicability of the strategy in actual nursing clinical practice. Interestingly, the quantitative measures do not necessarily agree with the qualitative data …

… are necessary to enable the vertebral column and chest to grow, allowing the lungs to further develop as well. In this dissertation, a growth-guidance system has been developed, which allows growth in length of the vertebral column in this patient group to remain possible without the patients having to undergo multiple operations. Within this growth-guidance system, ultra-strong synthetic wires can slide along the rod they are fixed to. In this way, sliding fixation points are created, allowing …

Health, Medicine and Life Sciences Minderbroedersberg Keywords: heart failure, pacemaker, CRT, vectorcardiography, patient selection, individual optimisation The aim of this study was to improve the response to cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT). CRT is used in cardiac patients with an abnormal … vectorcardiography can improve the selection of patients for CRT by, for instance, demonstrating whether a distinct cardiac conduction abnormality is present. This is relevant, as CRT almost always improves the cardiac pump function in this patient group in particular. In addition, this study shows that a kind of vectorcardiogram can be extracted by means of unused electrodes routinely placed during CRT implantation. This method can be used to establish a continuous and individual optimisation of …

In 2012, 17.5 million people died of CVDs, of which 43% were caused by ischemic heart disease and 38% by stroke. Thrombosis plays a pivotal role in the development of ischemic heart disease and stroke. Therefore, the haemostatic system has been one of the main targets of prevent and clinical management of thrombosis related pathologies. Adequate diagnosis of a medical condition is pivotal in the fight against thrombosis and the development of a suitable diagnostic test that can accurately predict the … thesis the thrombin dynamics method was introduced, a technique to investigate both the pro- and anticoagulant processes that underlie thrombin generation separately. This method was used to study how these two processes deviates in different patient groups such as patients with liver cirrhosis and patients who are being treated with anticoagulants.
