Background: 10-20% of children and youth with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) suffer from long-term cognitive impairments with, supposedly, a negative impact on most domains of functioning.
Objectives: To describe cognitive functioning and participation in children and youth two-years post-mTBI and to determine associated risk factors.
Methods: Cross-sectional study among 73 patients (aged 6-22 years), hospital diagnosed with mTBI.
Aim: To explore the effects of usage of the Nintendo Wii on physical, cognitive and social functioning in patients with acquired brain injury (ABI).
Methods: This multi-centre, observational proof-of-concept study included children, adolescents and young adults with ABI aged 6-29 years. A standardized, yet individually tailored 12-week intervention with the Nintendo Wii was delivered by trained instructors.
Background: Vitamin D deficiency is common in dark-skinned persons living in northern countries. Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy may have serious consequences for both mother and child.
Objective: The objective was to ascertain the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women of several ethnic backgrounds who were living in The Hague, a large city in the Netherlands.
Introduction: There is a continuing need for increased throughput in the examination of new chemical entities (NCEs) in terms of the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters. The aim was to validate a new study method designed to improve throughput and reduce inter-animal variability and animal number requirement in routine bioavailability and plasma PK studies of NCEs in awake rats.
Methods: The design uses a new method for intravenous (iv) administration via the saphenous vein in combination with serial blood sampling via the tail vein.
