To examine the effect of BCG vaccination on the composition and function of the bone marrow.
This research project aims to determine the feasibility of setting up a randomized controlled trial to study the effects of different fluid management protocols on the outcome of mechanically ventilated pediatric patients with acute infectious lung…
To characterize the interaction between the gut microbiome, related metabolites, immune function, and perceived complaints in QFS-patients, CFS-patients, and healthy individuals.
A previous study of from our laboratory showed that administration of the drug C1-INH (100E/kg) significantly reduced the concentration of circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, in healthy male volunteers during human experimental…
To examine the effect of BCG as an adjuvant on DTP vaccination, and to investigate the non-specific training effects of BCG and DTP, alone and in combination, on the innate immune system.
1) To determine whether vaccination with yellow fever results in a higher cytokine response upon restimulation in vitro with non-related infectious pathogens, compared to the response before the vaccination.2) To determine whether BCG vaccination…
Primary objective: To determine if a single administration of SRT2379, at multiple dose levels, attenuates the inflammatory response in normal healthy male subjects after exposure to low-dose endotoxin (LPS)Secondary objectives: (1) To determine…
The aim of this study is to explore the prevalence of HAND in people living with HIV.
The aim of this study is to create a prognostic model enabling the clinician to predict the outcome of a septic episode. Furthermore, by getting more insight in the pathophysiologic proces of sepsis, we could discover new possible targets for future…
Primary objective: To determine if a single dose of SRT2379 attenuates the inflammatory response in normal healthy male subjects after exposure to low-dose endotoxin (LPS) Secondary objectives: (1) To determine PK of SRT2379 in normal healthy male…
The aim of the study is to explore the prevalence of HAND in people living with hiv.
Primary Objective•To assess the pharmacodynamic response after single dose administration of NOX H94 in healthy subjects during experimental endotoxemia.Secondary Objective• To determine the pharmacodynamic effects of NOX H94 after single dose…
Evaluation of therapeutic safety and clinical efficacy of MSC transplantation in septic shock.
The primary aim of this pilot-study is to assess safety and the effects on immune function in patients with septic shock of adjunctive therapy with IFN-gamma, in a placebo-controlled manner. The data obtained will allow us to do a powercalculation…
Primary Objective:To assess the difference in healing complications up to and 21 days post-operatively between postsurgical incisions treated with PICO compared with standard of care Incision healing complications will include;* Skin necrosis*…
Primary Objective: To study stimulating effects of prolonged (8h) enteral L-citrulline supplementation on the normalisation of the Arginine-NO metabolism.Secondary Objective: To study stimulating effects of prolonged (8h) enteral L-citrulline…
To evaluate the effect of age of transfused erythrocytes on expression of *eat me* signals on erythrocytes in several critically ill patient populations (septic and non-septic patients) and to correlate these signals with parameters of impaired…
To study the relationship between (a) abnormal concentrations of plasma amino-acids, pterins, HVA and inflammatory parameters and (b) the severity, duration and outcome of delirium. To find a biochemical profile that predicts the occurrence of a…
The primary objective of the study is to determine the effects of hyperoxia and hypoxia in healthy volunteers on kinetics of HIF1α mRNA in circulating leukocytes. Secondary objectives are to determine the effects of hyperoxia and hypoxia on HIF1α…
To evaluate two biomarker tests (characterized by an activated inflammatory response system (IRS) as reflected by an aberrant monocyte gene expression signature and/or a disturbed metabolism of tryptophan) by comparing patients with BD with healthy…
