The primary objective of this study is to compare the 3-year overall survival of stage III NSCLC patients during follow-up surveillance with 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/ Computerized Tomography (18F FDG PET/CT) versus follow-up with conventional CT surveillance.
Participants will receive usual care until 3 years of follow-up (control group) with additional whole-body 18F FDG PET/CT scans during follow-up visits at 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, and 36 months of follow-up in the intervention group.
Other tasks include:
* filling in quality of life (QOL) questionnaires at every time point;
* participating in an interview evaluating the addition of the 18F FDG PET/CT scans (optional);
* collecting blood at the follow-up time points for our secondary endpoint (optional).
Researchers will compare the usual care control group with the intervention group to see if the additional 18F FDG PET/CT scans are (cost-)effective.

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effectiveness of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy in reducing pain intensity in individuals with chronic painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN). The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does EMDR therapy significantly reduce pain intensity in individuals with chronic PDN?
What is the impact of EMDR therapy on secondary outcomes, specifically anxiety, sleep disturbances, and personalized pain-related limitations? Additionally, the study will explore the correlation between pain scores and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in individuals with chronic PDN.
Participants will undergo EMDR therapy sessions, focusing on the processing of emotionally charged pain-related events and addressing the pain itself. Main tasks for participants include active engagement in EMDR therapy sessions. Treatment outcomes, including changes in pain intensity, anxiety levels, sleep quality, and personalized pain-related limitations, will be monitored throughout the study.

The purpose of this international multicenter, patient and outcome-assessor blinded randomized controlled trial is to determine whether the application of an individualized high Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) strategy with recruitment maneuvers, aiming at avoiding an increase in the driving pressure during intraoperative ventilation, protects against the development of postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing minimally invasive abdominal surgery.
