Primary Objective: 1. To compare total testosterone levels between male CCH and ECH patients and healthy controls To compare total testosterone levels in males with ECH during remission (remission ECH) and during an active…
The aim of this current proposal is to compare test methods for determining TFS performance, to establish detection thresholds for both CI users and normal hearing subjects and to produce normative data for the computer model and machine learning…
Development of new imaging techniques for MR-guided motion management in the presence of respiratory motion
The aim of this project is to evaluate the clinical value of biomarkers in adult patients with pulmonary hypertension, in particular:1) To quantify biomarkers of neurohormonal activity as NTproBNP, endotheline-1 and of immunological activity as CRP…
Sample collection for in vitro research
Previous studies have shown that the origin of trained innate immunity lies in the bone marrow and is determined by epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. In this study, we investigate whether long-term…
The objective of this study is to further unravel the complexity of human milk and its variations over lactation stages and between individuals.
Primary objectives: - To examine how environmental exposures influence the prevalence, 5-year incidence and progression of cardiometabolic and chronic respiratory disease in the general population. - To determine the mediation effect of lifestyle…
To investigate whether high perceived stress is associated with inflammatory reprogramming of innate immune cells and their bone marrow progenitors, and with increased arterial wall inflammation, in subjects with an increased CVD risk.
In this study, we therefore aim to investigate how trained immunity is systemically regulated in kidney transplant patients and how the degree of trained immunity affects graft survival in patients. A better understanding of these processes…
Main objective: 1. Determine the feasibility, in terms of system fidelity and acceptability, of remote, image-based monitoring in cardiac surgery patients on a general ward. Secondary objectives: 1. The validity of remote, image-based heart- and…
To evaluate whether we can determine the health status of the joint by measuring biomarker levels using a newly developed assay by the University of Twente based on the multiplex measurement of a panel of relevant biomarkers using Surface Plasmon…
The primary objective is to assess diagnostic accuracy of MRDTI/BTI for first and recurrent CVT in patients referred for MRI/MRV in the setting of routine clinical setting. The secondary objectives are to optimize MRDTI/BTI sequences for imaging…
The primary objective of this cohort study is to determine the prevalence of simple and progressed NAFLD in subjects at risk followed by the general practitioner The secondary objectives are:1. To study the factors linked to the development of…
The primary objective is to explore whether central sensitization and/or abnormal CPM responses are present in (a subgroup of) patients who will receive shoulder arthroplasty for osteoarthritis, and whether shoulder arthroplasty produces change in…
The aim of the THRIVE study is to examine two objectives: 1. What are the mechanisms through which friendships aid resilience?a. Does friendship support relate to reduced neural stress responses in young adults with CA?b. Does friendship…
To examine the prevalence, risk factors and mechanisms of impaired health outcomes (short- and long-term medical and psychosocial effects and late effects) over time among a population-based sample of AYA cancer patients.Primary Objective: - To…
Given the above mentioned gaps in knowledge, the aim of this project is to1) Describe the midterm and long-term outcomes of (primary and revision) total hip, total knee and shoulder replacement surgery in terms of health status as a whole,…
Primary objective Primary objective is to create a prediction model based on early clinical screening of motor, cognitive, and emotional disturbances to predict restrictions in participation at one year after cardiac arrest in patients that have…
The primary objective of this study is to build a predictive model in which we can identify which (pheno) type of ALS patients has the most benefit from NIV in improving or maintaining quality of life.
