To determine the incidence of hypopituitarism in patients after SAHTo identify neurological parameters that predict hypopituitarism after SAHTo determine the value of a Ghrelin test shortly after SAH, to identify subjects with GHD.To determine the…
1. Are there differences between patients and controls in circadian movement rhythmicity and sleep duration?2. Are these objective measures associated with subjective sleep complaints?3. Are these objective measures associated with decreased quality…
To understand, from the perspective of the 3-hit hypothesis of psychopathology, individual differences in the neuropsychiatric outcome of previous glucocorticoid (GC) excess in treated Cushing patients.
To assess the presence of GH deficiency in patients who are in long-term remission of Cushing*s syndrome due to adrenal adenoma.
To describe the differences in macrophage infiltration and mRNA expression of adipocytokines in subcutaneous, omental and perirenal fat tissue in Cushing's syndrome compared to healthy controls.
The objective of the current proposal is to further explore the pathophysiological changes that occur in patient with an IGSF1 mutation, using an established method for assessing hormone secretory characteristics.
Our main aim is to describe the 24-h circadian rhythm of skin and core body temperature in people with SCI and examine whether changes in melatonin and/or cortisol relate to the altered circadian rhythm in core body temperature recently described in…
ObjectiveTo assess the prevalence of PHD and chronic fatigue in Dutch TBI patients, and to study the relationships between the various aspects of chronic fatigue and PHD, with particular emphasis on the association between chronic fatigue, and…
Hypothesis:1. Patients who suffer from a hypopituitarism and an adult-onset growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) express more atherosclerotic disease in the coronary system (compared with a historically formed control subjects, present as a database in…
The following research questions will be addressed: 1.Is there irreversible joint damage after previous GH excess in long-term cured acromegalic patients?2.What are the clinical characteristics of reported joint problems on clinical examination? 3.…
To collect data regarding the prevalence of:I) - osteoporosis in SCI patients and the relation to characteristics of SCI. - fractures in SCI patients and the relation to characteristics of SCI. - active treatment of osteoporosis in SCI patients.II…

Primary objective:1. To assess the effect of 4 weeks SXB treatment on basal and cold-induced WAT lipolysis (assessed by levels of circulating free fatty acids) in narcolepsy type 1 patients. Secondary objectives:1. To assess the effects of 4 weeks…
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of transsphenoidal adenomectomy on parameters of macular ganglion cell thickness and the PIPR in patients with optic chiasm compression. The main secondary objective is to assess the…
Primary questionAre changes in vigilance in type 1 and 2 narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnia and epilepsy with only nocturnal seizures reflected in differences in the responsiveness of the pupils to light as measured by pupillometry (PIPR) versus…
Our main objective is to assess the difference in PIPR after a blue-light stimulus between hypopituitarism patients with and without a history of CC. Secondary objectives include differences in subjective and objective sleep quality, sleep-wake…
To assess the diagnostic accuracy of total and free IGF-1 concentrations by comparing it to the gold standard for detection of growth hormone deficiency in adults, i.e. the insulin tolerance test, in subgroups of patients at risk for growth hormone…
The overall aims of this project are 1) to improve our understanding of CS, in particular the spectra and time course of impaired well-being, fatigue and cognition, 2) to study the mechanisms behind the apparently long-term negative consequences on…
The role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular morbidity in patients with acromegaly
Primary Objective: To examine comprehensively the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of CV complications in acromegaly. This will be done by exploring the inflammatory and metabolic profiles of patients with acromegaly and correlating these…
