In this fMRI study, it was hypothesized that mirror neurons in the premotor-parietal network would be activated while improvising performers listened to music. Such activations would suggest that perception is engaging the action repertoire of the improvising musician. Recognition and understanding of …

The purpose of this controlled study is to determine satisfaction with speech and facial appearance in Flemish pre-pubescent children with unilateral cleft lip and palate. Forty-three subjects with unilateral cleft lip and palate and 43 age and gender matched controls participated in this study. The …

Nuclear fusion is seen as one of the future technologies for roducing electrical power. In a hot and con ned plasma deuterium and tritium will melt together and form a helium nucleus and a neutron. This process produces a total of 17.6 MeV energy. In the plasma instabilities occur. Suppression of these …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of partial glossectomy (using the keyhole technique) on speech intelligibility, articulation, resonance and oromyofunctional behavior. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A partial glossectomy was performed in 4 children with Beckwith- Wiedemann syndrome …

Mirror neurons in the cerebral cortex have been shown to fire not only during performance but also during visual and auditory observation of activity. This phenomenon is commonly called cerebral resonance behavior. This would mean that cortical motor regions would not only be activated while singing, …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to provide a description of the language and speech (intelligibility, voice, resonance, articulation) in a 7-year-old Dutch speaking boy with Nager syndrome. To reveal these features comparison was made with an age and gender related child with a similar palatal …

Mirror neurons in the cerebral cortex have been shown to fire not only during performance but also during visual and auditory observation of activity.

Het MRCP (Magnetic Resonance CholangioPancreatography)-onderzoek brengt de galblaas, de lever, de intra- en extrahepatische galwegen, de pancreas en de pancreatische wegen in beeld. Door middel van dit onderzoek kunnen verscheidende pathologieën direct of indirect gediagnosticeerd worden. Binnen het …

Door vernieuwingen en ontwikkelingen in de Isala Klinieken is bestaand voorlichtingsmateriaal over onderzoeken en operaties, verouderd en niet voldoende up to date. Zodoende is vanuit pedagogisch medewerkers op de kinderafdeling Amalia de vraag ontstaan naar nieuw, up to date voorlichtingsmateriaal. …

Elevated plantar foot pressures during gait in diabetic patients with neuropathy have been suggested to result, among other factors, from the distal displacement of sub-metatarsal head (MTH) fat-pad cushions caused by to claw/hammer toe deformity. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively assess …
