The primary objective is to assess neuropsychological function in X-ALD patients without active cerebral demyelinating disease. Data of minors will be compared to matched healthy controls. Data of adults will be compared to reference values. The…
The main goal of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of using 1) passive treadmill belt speed perturbations to measure spinal reflex activity in the calf muscles; and 2) active real-time visual feedback on dedicated gait parameters to highlight…
1. Immunology and Pathology:To determine the immune response of patients with simple and complex appendicitis in order to identify markers which distinguish between simple and complex appendicitis.2.Clinical and Imaging:To analyze the differences in…
The above anounced studies suggest that some abnormalities in the Wnt pathway can be expected to affect development and function of the brain, potentially leading to recognizable behavioural phenotypes. Given the key role of APC in the Wnt pathway,…
The main objective of this prospective population-based study of patients with proximal SMA in the Netherlands is to register SMA patients in the Netherlands in a socalled SMA-database to study prevalence and severity of SMA types 1-4, to perform…
The overall aim of this project is to elucidate the interaction between stress and epileptic seizures in childhood epilepsy. The specific aim of this study is to compare the possible differences in stress hormone regulation, hippocampal function and…
Main question: What is the lung function of late preterm births compared with children born at term at age 12? Sub-questions: - Which respiratory symptoms in late preterm infants at age 12?
Objective: To test the hypotheses that Feedback Informed Treatment together with treatment as usual will show significant more improvement than treatment as usual alone.
Primary Objective: Identification of rare variants in candidate genes and regulatory elements in pediatric IBD patients. Secondary Objective(s): To determine the functional consequences of identified genetic variants in IBD, we will correlate…
The primary objective is to assess the treatment effect on response rate (MDS: either completeremission [CR], partial remission [PR], or marrow CR; JMML: either clinical completeremission [cCR] or clinical partial remission [cPR]); at Cycle 3 Day 28…
The primary objective of the current study is to (further) investigate the role of reward and punishment sensitivity in Anorexia Nervosa and obesity by examining general and disorder-specific appetitive and aversive biases. The secondary objective…
The aim of this study is to validate known, and identify novel allelic variants which may play a role in the risk of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in a substantial international cohort of children diagnosed with cancer.
The aim of Prevent CardioKids is to evaluate to what extend disturbed vascular function markers are present in children of different weight categories and whether these are age dependent. Also differences * and relationships between * vascular…
Research questions: Primary questions:* Are the new point-of-care instruments for the measurement of VOCs in exhaled breath feasible for use in children and adolescents aged 6 to 20 years?* Are these techniques able to differentiate between healthy…
The primary aim of the current proposal is to get a better understanding of how CeD risk genes contribute to disease aetiology. To achieve this, we will apply a holistic approach in which we will study the behaviour of immune cells and the…
The aim of this study is to determine whether children between 5-17 years born to women with an autoimmune disorder and prednisone use during pregnancy have chronically elevated cortisol levels compared to children born to women with an autoimmune…
The aim of the study is to investigate the neurobiology of Conduct Disorder (CD) in female and male children and adolescents, and examine for sex differences in the phenotype (clinical presentation) of CD, and the relationships between CD and…
The primary objective of CDfuture is to provide duodenal biopsies of patients with and without CD, and venous blood samples, to continue CD research as described above.
To further characterize the transport of phenylalanine and other large neutral amino acids across the blood-brain barrier in PKU patients with high and low brain vulnerability to elevated blood phenylalanine concentrations, we will investigate…
The primary objective is to study if quantitative (3- and 7-Tesla) MRI protocols (MRI perfusion, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and chemical shift imaging (CSI)) are able to detect phenotype conversion earlier than conventional MRI. Results will be…
