Ongeveer 10% van de mensen die een huisarts contacteren, heeft een problematisch alcoholgebruik. De CAGE, een lijst bestaande uit vier vragen, maakt het mogelijk deze problematiek op te sporen. Via een telefonische enquête werd nagegaan of jonge V...
In comparison with the classical immunisation schedules (0-1-6 or 0-1-12 months) for hepatitis A, a 0- and 12- or a 0- and 6-month schedule would have important advantages by reducing the number of injections and discomfort and increasing scheduli...

By means of a qualitative study, we set out to generate hypotheses about the way general practitioners (GPs) diagnosed dementia. We looked for triggers for the diagnosis of dementia. Ten GPs were interviewed about four dementia cases taken from th...

A hereditary form of multicentric osteolysis is described in an 11-year-old girl whose father is also affected. The results after corrective surgery on the foot with the Ilizarov fixator and the findings during arthroscopy of the knee are discusse...

PURPOSE: To assess the value of unenhanced T1-weighted images, T2-weighted images, gadolinium-enhanced TI-weighted images, and three-dimensional Fourier transformation-constructive interference in steady state (3DFT-CISS) images in depicting lesio...

PURPOSE: To assess the value of a three-dimensional Fourier transformation MR technique ''CISS'' (constructive interference in steady state) in imaging the inner ear. SUBJECTS: We studied 50 normal inner ears (40 axial, 10 coronal) and 10 patholog...

The mutation involved in myotonic dystrophy (DM) has been mapped to the region between the ERCC1 DNA repair gene and the anonymous D19S51 locus on 19q13.3. Starting at locus D19S112 (probe pX75b), which served as a novel entry site for this chromo...

Variable simple sequence motifs (VSSMs), or microsatellites, were used for the genetic delimitation of the myotonic dystrophy (DM) region at 19q. Three simple sequence motifs were identified in and around the ERCC1 DNA-repair gene at 19q13.2-13.3 ...
