To test the hypothesis that salivary pepsin is able to predict outcome of treatment in GERD suspected infants.
The aim of our study is to measure 1) the prevalence of signs of child abuse and neglect in children with functional defecation disorders, 2) whether signs of child abuse and neglect are more common in children with functional defecation disorders…
To identify the most effective and safe long-term S. aureus carriage decolonization strategy in HPN patients. Ultimately this willlead to less antimicrobial resistance, less catheter removals and lower mortality rates. Also, other chronic…
The aim of the study is to investigate and understand the performance of three new baseplates consisting of a neutralizing layer and one of three adhesives (two new adhesives and one known adhesive) in terms of protecting the skin from damage…
To determine the (cost-)effectiveness and budget impact EM-guided bedside placement as compared to endoscopic placement of a nasoenteral feeding tube in surgical patients.
Identification of the underlying genes of MMIHS
This study has two main objectives:1. To assess the efficacy of hypnotherapy on symptoms and quality of life in IBS patients;2. To compare the efficacy of individual hypnotherapy with a group application of hypnotherapy in IBS treatment.
Primary:- To identify causal genetic variants and proteomes involved in achalasia and to study their relevanceSecundary:- To build-up a large scale harmonized biobank of achalasia patients, based on combining existing and new data from the European…
The aim of this project is to study the effect of nicotine gum chewing in the prevention or reduction of POI and reduction of opioid use on patients who underwent elective colorectal surgery, and evaluate its safety and possible adverse effects.
To assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of oral lubiprostone 12 or 24 mcg capsules dosed twice daily (BID) (based on subject body weight at baseline) as compared to matching placebo BID, when administered orally for 12 weeks in…
The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the tolerance and effectiveness of 4 week supplementation of a proprietary polydextrose fiber product, in a dose-ranging fashion, on whole gut transit time and gastrointestinal symptoms in adults…

Identification of the causative gene for CSBS.
The effect of a specially developed multispecies probiotic on visceral perception, as well as on general symptom scores and inflammatory and microbiological parameters will be studied in a pilot study of IBS patients with an increased visceral…
In this study we aim to determine the esophageal sensitivity by means of weakly acidic solution and esophageal distension, and determine the position and composition of the acid pocket in patients with and without PPI. We hypothesize that these…
Earlier studies suggest that Gaviscon alters the position of the acid pocket, as the number of acid reflux episodes decreased but the number of nonacid reflux events almost doubled after drug intake. (8) However, until now the formation of the raft…
To identify chromosomal regions associated with the GERD-phenotype in a large multigenerational family with multiple affected members. Subsequently these regions will be sequenced to detect causative gene(s). The second aim is to describe the…
