Clinician-scientists (CSs) are vital in connecting the worlds of research and practice. Yet, there is little empirical insight into how CSs perceive and act upon their in-and-between position between these socio-culturally ...

In bone tissue engineering, ionic doping using bone-related minerals such as magnesium (Mg) or strontium (Sr) is a promising strategy to make up for the inherent disadvantages (low solubility) of various apatite-based ...

Melt electrowriting (MEW) is mostly applied to print complex three-dimensional (3D) structures using traditional, relatively hydrophobic polymers, such as polycaprolactone. Here, we 3D printed a supramolecular hydrophilic ...

Gelatine methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels are widely used in studies aimed at cartilage regeneration. However, the endotoxin content of commercially available GelMAs and gelatines used in these studies is often overlooked, ...

PURPOSES: Being diagnosed with oral cancer is a life-threatening life event. It often induces social, emotional and psychological consequences and may cause depressive disorders. The primary aim of this study was to identify ...

OBJECTIVES: Patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) have a risk of sarcopenia which is associated with adverse health outcomes. Frailty is also associated with adverse outcomes and is diagnosed by a comprehensive geriatric ...

BACKGROUND: Hypoxia is a negative prognostic factor in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. Under hypoxia, the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1a transcription factor is overexpressed. We investigated whether there were ...

BACKGROUND: The Geriatric 8 (G8) has proven to be one of the most sensitive frailty-screening tools for older patients with cancer undergoing systemic treatment. In this study we validated whether the G8 is also suitable ...

Thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA) treatment increases the thrombosis rate in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). We hypothesize that TPO-RAs influence platelet function, global and secondary hemostasis and/or fibrinolysis. ...
