Glycaemic control targets after traumatic brain injury: a systematic review a...
Abstract Background Optimal glycaemic targets in traumatic brain injury (TBI) remain unclear. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials... -
Twenty-five years of optical coherence tomography: the paradigm shift in sens...
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become one of the most successful optical technologies implemented in medicine and clinical practice mostly due to the possibility of... -
Ethical aspects of sudden cardiac arrest research using observational data: a...
Abstract Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) accounts for half of all cardiac deaths in Europe. In recent years, large-scale SCA registries have been set up to enable observational... -
Design constraints of optical parametric chirped pulse amplification based on...
Chirped quasi-phase-matching (QPM) gratings offer efficient, ultra-broadband optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) in the mid-infrared as well as other spectral... -

Systematic mapping review of the factors influencing dietary behaviour in eth...
Abstract Background Europe has a growing population of ethnic minority groups whose dietary behaviours are potentially of public health concern. To promote healthier diets, the... -
Communicating with conscious and mechanically ventilated critically ill patie...
Abstract Background Ventilator-dependent patients in the ICU often experience difficulties with one of the most basic human functions, namely communication, due to intubation.... -
Assessment of fluid responsiveness in spontaneously breathing patients: a sys...
Patients who increase stoke volume or cardiac index more than 10 or 15% after a fluid challenge are usually considered fluid responders. Assessment of fluid responsiveness prior... -
Cognitive functioning in patients with classical galactosemia: a systematic r...
Abstract Background Patients with the metabolic disorder classical galactosemia suffer from long-term complications despite a galactose-restricted diet, including a below... -
Use of theory to plan or evaluate guideline implementation among physicians: ...
Abstract Background Guidelines support health care decision-making and high quality care and outcomes. However, their implementation is sub-optimal. Theory-informed, tailored... -

Abstract Background Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is an emerging approach for improving capacity in activities of daily living (ADL) and upper limb function... -
What are effective strategies for the implementation of care bundles on ICUs:...
Abstract Background Care bundles have proven to be effective in improving clinical outcomes. It is not known which strategies are the most effective to implement care bundles. A... -
Systematic mapping review of the factors influencing physical activity and se...
Abstract Background Physical activity and sedentary behaviour are associated with health and wellbeing. Studies indicate that ethnic minority groups are both less active and... -
Is HPA axis reactivity in childhood gender-specific? A systematic review
Abstract Background In adults, hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis activity shows sexual dimorphism, and this is thought to be a mechanism underlying sex-specific disease... -
