The main aim of this study is to collect normative data on the RANDI for several age groups.
Serum hepcidin levels are elevated in hemodialysis patients and may contribute to functional iron impairment and thus to ESA-resistance. Kinetics of hepcidin in hemodialysis patients has not been studied in detail. This study is designed to provide…
The primary objective in this study is to evaluate effectiveness of optimized high cervical epidural neurostimulation against placebo-stimulation in patients with intractable cervicogenic headache in a neurostimulation trial.
The objective of this study is to make a comparison between six different cornea topography measurement systems.
The aim of this study is to compare the PD20 values measured with the Vilbiss 646 jet nebulizer protocol and with the MedicAid nebulizing protocol in 20 subjects with respiratory symptoms suggestive of bronchial hyperreactivity.
To investigate if there is a correlation between the peak GH concentrations after ingestion of gelatin protein and the peak GH concentrations after the two standard tests (GHST) in order to discriminate between GHD and non-GHD. To investigate the…
To investigate the effects of beclomethasone plus formoterol (in a single inhaler) versus single agents formoterol and beclomethasone dipropionate pMDI with HFA-134a propellant and placebo on the airway responses to allergen challenge. The primary…
Primary objectives:1) Describe the PD effects on plasma ACTH and serum cortisol upon 100 µg hCRH injection with or without a preceding injection of 10 µg dDAVP 2 hours earlier and study the PK-PD relationship (*Block B*). In particular, the outcome…
1. To test feasibility of mannitol inhalations in a Dutch pulmonary out-patient clinic.2. To compare time and costs involved in measuring airways hyperresponsiveness by methacholine to mannitol
To prospectively compare NBI with HRE for the detection and differentiation of polyps in HPS in a large multicentre HPS cohort (n~125).
The main objective is to demonstrate the activation of the efferent inhibitory cortico-olivocochlear pathway with otoacoustic emission of the ear contralateral to the side of stimulation with TMS. We expect the amplitude to decrease after TMS of the…
The effect of a high-fat breakfast on intestinal permeability will be examined in lean and obese men to see if a fat load can induce increased intestinal permeability and it is a feasible challenge test to investigate effects of foods / ingredients…
To determine which phMRI technique/approach will give the largest signal change after oral 5-HT challenge. We will compare task-related (modulation) phMRI to resting-state (challenge) phMRI and within the task-related phMRI four different paradigms…
To compare the burden for pregnant women and diagnostic capabilities of the oral glucose tolerance test (75g and 50g) and blood glucose samples during the day.
To obtain the reproducibility of the standing posture using with Der Wippe, a balancing device, with adjustable holder and acquire the 3D ultrasound of the spine of scoliotic patients
The objective of the study is to investigate whether the Out-Of-Office BPM device of Microlife, the WatchBP O3, is comparable to the Spacelabs 90217 device at 24h BP measurement. Secondary objectives: To investigate whether the implemented features…
The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of broccoli seedlings on postprandial inflammatory parameters and insulin sensitivity after an oral glucose load (dual isotope technique) and monitoring the bioavailability and kinetics of SFN…
Primary objective:To show that addition of dead space to low-pressure nCPAP (which is usually not effective but can be relatively well tolerated) makes the therapy effective and diminishes the apnea hypopnea index with >10/hour in patients…
Primary:Is the degree of pupildilation, achieved after administrating a 4.5 microliter microdrop tropicamide 0.5% equivalent to the pupildilation after a regular 30 microliter eydrop tropicamide 0.5% in healthy volunteers?Secondary: Is there a…
The aim of this study is to determine the optimal particle size of dry powder adenosine to assess small airway involvement in asthma. Secondary, to provide insight in the associations between the standard test, executed with nebulized AMP, and the…
