The observed persistent soft X-ray spectra (0.5 - 10 keV) of anomalous Xray pulsars (AXPs) can be explained by the magnetar model (Woods and Thompson et al., 2002 [3]) where the emission is powered by the decay of an extreme high magnetic eld ( 1014 G). Because these spectra are relatively soft, measurements …

Onderwerp Dit kwalitatieve praktijkonderzoek gaat over de 'spontane associatie'. Het is gericht op de mogelijke aanknopingspunten die 'spontane associaties' kunnen bieden voor de muziektherapeutische behandeling.

Background: Malnutrition is an important cause of the excessive morbidity and mortality rate of dialysis patients. Frequent nocturnal home hemodialysis (NHHD) has many benefits compared with conventional thrice-weekly hemodialysis (CHD), due to the virtual absence of dietary restrictions and a much higher …

BACKGROUND: Burns occur frequently in young children. To date, insufficient data are available to fully describe the functional consequences of burns. In different patient populations and countries, the WeeFIM instrument ("WeeFIM") often is used to measure functional independence in children. OBJECTIVE: …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the functional status of patients within the first week of discharge from an intensive care unit (ICU), and to identify predictors and explanatory factors of functional status. METHODS: A prospective, observational, cohort study was conducted with consecutive ICU patients who had …

The aim of this study was to test the inter- and intraobserver reliability of the Physician Rating Scale (PRS) and the Edinburgh Visual Gait Analysis Interval Testing (GAIT) scale for use in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Both assessment scales are quantitative observational scales, evaluating gait. …

In order to overcome cancer-related problems and to improve quality of life, an intensive multi-focus rehabilitation programme for cancer patients was developed. We hypothesised that this six-week intensive rehabilitation programme would result in physiological improvements and improvement in quality …
