Improving the Use and Understanding of Causal Methods in Clinical Research Ghent University
A study published in 2009 estimated that 85% of research conducted is wasted. This waste represents tens of billions of Euros spent each year on studies that are redundant, flawed in their design, never published or poorly reported. The public is the main victim of this waste. If clinical research is not adequately planned, conducted and reported, clinicians are prevented from using effective health interventions in practice and researchers ...

Oncocidia_the novel anticancer therapy: phase 0 clinical study. KU Leuven
Cancer residue, common after current therapies, remains a culprit for recurrence and patient death. To solve this problem, the group of Prof. Y. Ni at KU Leuven has developed a new dual targeting anticancer strategy, called Oncocidia. It is based on the subsequent injection of two compounds – a vascular disruptive agent and a radiolabeled necrosis-avid compound- which have a highly synergistic effect. The therapy has been extensively tested ...

Technology-enabled resistance exercise interventions in patients with peripheral artery disease:investigation of the feasibility and short-term clinical effectiveness KU Leuven
Supervised exercise training has been incorporated into current guidelines as first line treatment for intermittent claudication (IC). However, less than 10 % of IC patients are enrolled in an exercise program and compliance is poor. E-health technology allows supervised exercise in the home-environment. However, the benefits of a telerehabilitation program remain unproven. Our aim is to develop a complex home-based E-exercise program and to ...
