Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of physical activity on cognitive function in patients with dementia: A meta-analysis of randomized control trials
Colin Groot,Astrid M. Hooghiemstra,Pieter G. Raijmakers,B.N.M. van Berckel,Philip Scheltens,Erik J. A. Scherder,W.M. van der Flier,Rik Ossenkoppele +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that physical activity interventions positively influence cognitive function in patients with dementia, independent of the clinical diagnosis and the frequency of the intervention, and was driven by interventions that included aerobic exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Coronary CT Angiography, SPECT, PET, and Hybrid Imaging for Diagnosis of Ischemic Heart Disease Determined by Fractional Flow Reserve
Ibrahim Danad,Pieter G. Raijmakers,Roel S. Driessen,Jonathon Leipsic,Rekha Raju,Christopher Naoum,Juhani Knuuti,Maija Mäki,Richard S. Underwood,James K. Min,James K. Min,Kimberly Elmore,Kimberly Elmore,W J Stuijfzand,Niels van Royen,Igor I. Tulevski,Aernout G. Somsen,Marc C. Huisman,Arthur van Lingen,Martijn W. Heymans,Peter M. van de Ven,Cornelis van Kuijk,Adriaan A. Lammertsma,Albert C. van Rossum,Paul Knaapen +24 more
TL;DR: This controlled clinical head-to-head comparative study revealed PET to exhibit the highest accuracy for diagnosis of myocardial ischemia and a combined anatomical and functional assessment does not add incremental diagnostic value but guides clinical decision-making in an unsalutary fashion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography, Fractional Flow Reserve, and Perfusion Imaging for Ischemia Diagnosis
Roel S. Driessen,Ibrahim Danad,Wijnand J. Stuijfzand,Pieter G. Raijmakers,Stefan P. Schumacher,Pepijn A. van Diemen,Jonathon Leipsic,Juhani Knuuti,S. Richard Underwood,Peter M. van de Ven,Albert C. van Rossum,Charles A. Taylor,Paul Knaapen +12 more
TL;DR: In patients in whom 3-vessel F FRCT could be analyzed, FFRCT holds clinical potential to provide anatomic and hemodynamic significance of coronary lesions, and showed higher diagnostic performance than standard coronary CTA, SPECT, and PET for vessel-specific ischemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative assessment of myocardial perfusion in the detection of significant coronary artery disease: cut-off values and diagnostic accuracy of quantitative h215o pet imaging
Ibrahim Danad,Valtteri Uusitalo,Tanja Kero,Antti Saraste,Pieter G. Raijmakers,Adriaan A. Lammertsma,Martijn W. Heymans,Sami Kajander,Mikko Pietilä,Stefan James,Jens Nørkær Sørensen,Paul Knaapen,Juhani Knuuti +12 more
TL;DR: Quantitative MBF measurements with the use of [(15)O]H2O PET provided high diagnostic performance, but both sex and age should be taken into account.
Journal ArticleDOI
The size of mediastinal lymph nodes and its relation with metastatic involvement: A meta-analysis
Adrianus J. de Langen,Pieter G. Raijmakers,Ingrid I. Riphagen,Marinus A. Paul,Otto S. Hoekstra +4 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of available studies reporting on the prevalence of metastatic involvement for different size categories of enlarged lymph nodes in patients with NSCLC found a post-test probability for N2 disease of 5% for lymph nodes measuring 10-15 mm on CT in patientswith a negative FDG-PET result, suggesting that these patients should be planned for thoracotomy.
