The first objective of this study is to gain insight in which neurocognitive and neurobiological processes underlie the development of externalizing behavior (in specific aggressive behavior) in the first two years of life. The second objective is…
Our primary objective is to identify which intrinsic defect in Tregs is crucial for sarcoidosis pathology. To this end we will examine the genetic and functional properties of Tregs in the peripheral blood and at the site of disease, i.e. the lung…
The BAV study is a clinical and genetic study to unravel biomarker and imaging predictors of adverse outcome and to explore the pathogenetic basis of bicuspid aortic valves and it*s associated pathologies. We will also deliver insights in the…
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…
ObjectivesOur main hypothesis is that ICP shows a dynamic profile over the course of different attack phases in migraine. Therefore, we aim to detect dynamic changes in ICP in relation to different phases of the migraine attack. In concreto, the…
This study aims to determine the normal distribution of desmosine in a healthy population and a population of patients with COPD (ranging from GOLD I-IV). In addition, the inter-day variation and the correlation with 24-hour urinary desmosine will…
We hypothesize that ER stress contributes to epithelial dysfunction in Z-AATD, resulting in enhanced inflammation. In addition, we hypothesize that the airways of Z-AATD patients are particularly prone to bacterial infection and colonization through…
Aim of this study is to investigate the clinical performance of two restoration techniques, making use of 'direct' and an 'indirect' composite restorations as a minimal invasive intervention in patients with severe tooth wear.…
We will perform a study to describe the echogenicity of the substantia nigra, red nucleus and brainstem raphe in PD patients with and without RLS, RLS patients without PD and healthy controls. The echogenicity will be correlated with the the serum…
To investigate the association between sleep characteristics and glucoregulation (HbA1c) and sleep in patients with DM1.- Is there a relation between sleep characteristics and the quality of glycemic control in patients with DM1*?To compare the…
We propose an instrumented approach, during which the ankle is rotated in a precise and controlled way using a robot manipulator. Using neuromuscular modelling, key neuromechanical parameters as viscosity, stiffness and reflexive torque can be…
1. Characterization of patients with persistent and recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism after at least one parathyroidectomy, with removal of at least one pathological parathyroid gland.2. Evaluation of pre-operative localization studies;…
We propose that variation in genes involved in the regulation of motivational behaviour and satiety plays a major role in the development of obesity. We aim to identify these genes using family-based association and linkage analysis in a large…
The objective of the study is to protract the sleep related complaints of patients with a carotid body tumor, especially with patients with a carotid body tumor. Patients will be divided in groups based on having a single sided or double sided GCT.…
To establish the incidence and consequences (impairments op body functions, limitations in participation) of traumatic brain injury in children and youth in a region of The Netherlands as well as the incidence of the same symptoms in a group of…
Employing PPCM patient-derived iPSCs, we aim to test our hypothesis that cardiomyocytes from PPCM patients exhibit (epi)genetically determined differences in protein expression profiles and functional behavior in comparison to those from healthy…
Our overall objective is to better understand the role of regulatory B cells in disease pathogenesis and to better predict disease flares in order to individualize treatment.
The Primary objective is to quantify the Short Range Stiffness dynamics after stroke in order to quantify the tonic muscle co-activation.
• To determine the sleep pattern in patients with DM1 with validated questionnaires with a special focus on sleep duration, - quality and daytime sleepiness. • To investigate the association between sleep parameters and glucoregulation (HbA1c), we…
We want to investigate whether blood levels of vitamin K are lower in children with O.I. compared to children without O.I.
