Patients scheduled for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan sometimes require screening for ferromagnetic Intra Orbital Foreign Bodies (IOFBs). To assess this, they are required to fill out a screening protocol questionnaire before their scan. If it is established that a patient is at high risk, radiographic …

OBJECTIVE: Optimal timing of palatal repair is still subject of discussion. Although literature provides some evidence that palatal closure prior to 6 months positively influence speech outcome in children with clefts, only few studies verified this hypothesis. The purpose of this study was to describe …

AIMS: The purpose of this study was to describe articulation and resonance characteristics of Ugandan English-speaking children with cleft lip and palate (CLP) after synchronous lip and palatal closure (Sommerlad technique) prior to the age of 6 months in comparison with an age- and gender-matched control …

Scanning tunneling microscopy is an important and enabling tool for condensed matter physics and surface science. The low temperature STM in Leiden (Prof. J. Van Ruitenbeek and Prof J. Aarts) is used for research in the field of atomic/molecular electronics and superconductivity. The current low temperature …

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) was used to study the activation of cerebral motor networks during auditory perception of music in professional keyboard musicians (n=12). The activation paradigm implied that subjects listened to two-part polyphonic music, while either critically appraising …

Achtergrond Lage rugpijn komt veel voor onder de Nederlandse bevolking. Er wordt een stijging verwacht van 7% tussen 2005 en 2025. In 85% is er geen sprake van een specifieke lichamelijke oorzaak en is er sprake van aspecifieke lage rugpijn. Het disfunctioneren van het actieve subsysteem leidt tot meer …

Cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) is a congenital craniofacial defect that arises on average in 1.7 per 1000 live births. This anomaly causes atypical facial appearance, hearing problems, malocclusions and speech disorders. Outcomes in terms of speech are influenced by timing of surgical cleft closure. …
