Structural and mechanical characterization of thet superior sagittal sinus - bridging vein complex. KU Leuven
Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) is one of the most frequent lesions inside the head observed in victims of bicycle related accidents. In nearly one third of the ASDH cases, the etiopathology directly relates to the rupture of a bridging vein (BV) which drains blood from the cerebral cortex into the superior sagittal sinus (SSS). To study the biomechanics of ASDH and other traumatic brain injuries and to assess the efficacy and improve the ...

TOWARDS IMPLEMENTATION OF INTENSIVE COMBINATION TREATMENT STRATEGIES FOR EARLY RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS KU Leuven
Intensive combination treatment strategies (ICTS) −combining one or more disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs with glucocorticoids in a remission induction step down approach- are most effective in the management of early rheumatoid arthritis (RA), to achieve clinical remission, in order to prevent joint destruction and long-term disability. Despite the availability and demonstrated effectiveness of ICTS for early RA, a discrepancy seems to ...
