The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of - short vs. long - oro-sensory exposure combined with a gastric load - low vs. high in energy -, on gastric emptying rate. As secondary outcome we want to investigate the effect of…
The primary objective is to determine if there is an association between the presence of vertebral and/or rib anomalies and congenital malformations, aneuploidy or adverse fetal outcome, in order to assess whether detailed evaluation of the…
Primary Objective: To define a top set of genes that most reliably (r >=0.95) distinguish psoriasis from normal skin. We will define this set from differential methylation genes to indicate potential biomarkers.Secondary Objective(s):…
The aim of this study is to determine whether the presence and the extent of periodontitis are independently related to the presence and extent of coronary calcification.To determine if periodontal treatment has an positive effect on the…
(1) to establish the neuropsychiatric and personality status (symptoms and impairments) (2) to assess the possible determinants of these symptoms and impairments and (3) to examine the impact of these symptoms and impairments on daily life…
The main objectives of this study is to see if changes in the innate immune system can be found in diseases associated with increased risk for atherosclerosis
To investigate whether sodium and potassium mutations are found in a cohort of patients with small fiber neuropathy, painful diabetic neuropathy (versus diabetes patients with no or only minor symptoms) and in patients with breast, ovarium or…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether there is an increased binding potential of the TSPO ligand [11C]PK11195, which is a marker for microglia activation in neuroinflammation, using PET in patients with CFS compared to healthy…
Primary Objective:Pilot study: Selection of the titanium derivatives which are capable of penetrating the skin, and thus can be used in the full study as patch test materials.Full study: To compare the results of three different diagnostic tests…
Primary objectives:- To investigate possible differences in driving performances between premanifest gene carriers, manifest HD, and control subjects.- To explore if different aspects of cognitive functioning might be a predictor of fitness to drive…
This study aims at, first, assessing the most relevant exposure aspects of night-shift work and, second, identifying biomarkers for both acute and chronic circadian disruption associated to these specific nightshift work aspects. By applying…
Primary Objective:First we need to establish that patients with an eating disorder and healthy controls differ in mental imagery. So, the first aim of our research is to compare the nature and characteristics (emotionality, vividness and perspective…
We aim to gain insight into the incidence and severity of CIPN and its influence on patient-reported outcomes (i.e. health related quality of life (HRQoL), disease-specific complaints, depression, fatigue, sleep problems) among a prospective…
The objective of the study is to determine the protein profile of cerebrospinal fluid of non-pregnant women using mass-spectrometry.This study is a follow-up project on the previously performed study (LEPRA, CSF and pre-eclampsia, MEC 2007-087). In…
The current research is set to provide insight into the phenotypic characteristics of DSPD patients in terms of psychological characteristics, occurrence of co-morbidities, and behavioural characteristics such as bedtime routines and lifestyle, and…
The overall objective of this study is to examine specific cardio-metabolic and cardiovascular parameters in women of subfertile couples. This study protocol is divided in 3 studies to evaluate several cardio-metabolic/cardiovascular parameters in…

Hypothesis: Early life stress is associated with increased caloric intake and subsequent obesity in later life, which may be mediated by (a combination of) decreased neural cognitive control over food intake, decreased neural food reward…
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of (repeated) cast immobilization on the bone strength of the lower leg in patients with diabetes mellitus. In this study, bone strength is examined by cortex thickness in millimeters and density…
