Pharmacokinetic (PK) boosting is the intentional use of a drug-drug interaction to enhance systemic drug exposure. PK boosting of olaparib, a CYP3A-substrate, has the potential to reduce PK variabilit...
This cross-over, multicentre trial compared olaparib 300 mg twice daily (BID) with olaparib 100 mg BID boosted with the strong CYP3A-inhibitor cobicistat 150 mg BID. Patients were randomised to the st...
Of 15 included patients, 12 were eligible for PK analysis. The GMR of the AUC...
Boosting a 100 mg BID olaparib dose with cobicistat increases olaparib exposure 1.45-fold, compared to the standard dose of 300 mg BID. Equivalence of the boosted olaparib was thus not established. Bo...
The short shelf-life of liquid-stored platelets (LP) at 20-24°C poses shortage and wastage challenges. Cryopreserved platelets have significantly extended shelf-life, and were safe and efficacious for...
We performed a phase 1b/2a randomized cross-over study comparing the safety and efficacy of cryopreserved buffy coat-derived pooled platelets (CP) to LP in the prophylactic transfusions of thrombocyto...
A total of 18 adults were randomly assigned 1:1 to CP and LP for their first thrombocytopenic period (TP) of up to 28-days. A total of 14 crossed over to the other platelet-arm for the second TP. Over...
During shortages, CP may supplement LP in prophylactic transfusions of thrombocytopenic patients....
Diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) can be challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of a webtool to enhance the scoring accuracy when applying the comple...
We developed an online tool, the HFpEF calculator, that enables the automatic calculation of current HFpEF algorithms. We assessed the accuracy of manual vs. automatic scoring, defined as the percenta...
Manual calculation of HFpEF diagnostic algorithms is often inaccurate. Using an automated webtool to calculate HFpEF algorithms significantly improved correct scoring. This new approach may impact the...
Standard haemodialysis (sHD) is associated with a poor survival and marked adverse intradialytic patient-reported outcome measures (ID-PROMs). Whereas physical ID-PROMs (PID-PROMs) are alleviated by c...
To assess whether PID-PROMs and thermal perception differ between sHD, cHD, low volume HDF (lvHDF) and high volume HDF (hvHDF), 40 patients were cross-over randomized to each modality for 2 weeks. Dia...
Except for the item 'feeling cold' during cHD (p = .01), PID-PROMs did not differ between modalities, but varied markedly between patients (11/13 items, p < .05). T...
(1) PID-PROMs did not differ between modalities, but varied markedly between patients. Hence, PID-PROMs are largely patient-dependent. (2) While T...
To intrinsically motivate students in the long term, longitudinal e-learning systems combined with repeated testing and competitive gamification seem promising. The effects of this approach have never...
Participants were 5.-9. semester medical students (n = 48), recruited in an elective evidence-based medicine subject and randomly distributed to two groups (group 1: n = 23; group 2: n = 25). Both acc...
Students' improvements in e-test scores after training with the corresponding topics in the learning application can be attributed to chance. Even though the majority enjoyed playing and felt motivate...
The authors found no evidence for benefits of the investigated learning programme on students' risk competence or on their internal motivation. The majority disapproved the competitive concept, indica...
Physical exertion is a high-risk activity for aerosol emission of respiratory pathogens. We aimed to determine the safety and tolerability of healthy young adults wearing different types of face mask ...
Cross-over randomised controlled study, completed between June 2021 and January 2022....
Volunteers aged 18-35 years, who exercised regularly and had no significant pre-existing health conditions....
Comparison of wearing a surgical, cloth and filtering face piece (FFP3) mask to no mask during 4×15 min bouts of exercise. Exercise was running outdoors or indoor rowing at moderate-to-high intensity,...
The primary outcome was change in oxygen saturations. Secondary outcomes were change in heart rate, perceived impact of face mask wearing during exercise and willingness to wear a face mask for future...
All 72 volunteers (mean age 23.9) completed the study. Changes in oxygen saturations did not exceed the prespecified non-inferiority margin (2% difference) with any mask type compared with no mask. At...
This study adds to previous findings (mostly from non-randomised studies) that exercising at moderate-to-high intensity wearing a face mask appears to be safe in healthy, young adults....

Vegetables are an essential component of a healthy dietary pattern in children; however, their consumption is often insufficient due to lack of preference. To address this, the influence of combining ...
Current research suggests that pre-competition sexual intercourse does not influence athletes' performance. Yet, high quality studies in this field are scarce....
We aimed to investigate whether sexual activity negatively influences physiological performance. We conducted a prospective cross over study, which enrolled active players from the first team of a foo...
We enrolled 14 participants who participated in 88 football matches. The mean age was 29.7 (±3.8) years and the majority were in permanent relationships for longer than 6 months (78.6%). We identified...
To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to show that sexual intercourse the night before a football match may have a negative influence on players' performance....
To characterise applied force on the face and head during simulated mask ventilation with varying mask, device and expertise level....
Randomised cross-over simulation study....

Neonatal healthcare providers, categorised as novices and experts in positive pressure ventilation (PPV)....
PPV for 2 min each in a 2×2 within-subjects design with two masks (round and anatomic) and two ventilation devices (T-piece and self-inflating bag (SIB))....
Applied force (Newton (N)) measured under the head and at four locations on the manikin's face (nasal bridge, mentum, left and right zygomatic arches) and symmetry of force applied around the mask rim...
For the 51 participants, force applied to the head was greater with the SIB than the T-piece (mean (SD): 16.03 (6.96) N vs 14.31 (5.16) N) and greater with the anatomic mask than the round mask (mean ...
We characterised an initial dataset of applied forces on the face and head during simulated PPV and described differences in force when considering mask type, device type and expertise....
To develop an olfactory test that can be conducted by an untrained person using common household items and to introduce a German version of the Chemosensory Pleasure Scale for Children (CPS-C(de))....
This olfactory home test was developed in phases including evaluation of odors for suitability in a home setting. Parents of 50 children (ages 6-17) were then equipped with instruction manuals and par...
Fourteen items were tested for feasibility, and all were identified on a sufficient rate (≥66%, mean ± SD of 93.3% ± 9.5%). Bland Altman Plot analysis between home testing and the U-Sniff test was nea...
Remote olfactory testing in children using household items is feasible. The CPS-C(de) may be of value for future olfactory studies....
