To identify pathogenic bacterial biofilms in UC-patients with and without neoplasia in tandem with host factors such as barrier defects and carcinogenic pathway activation in a prospective cohort study.
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…
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…
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 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 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 investigate the origin of BA we will assess which TLR(s) is/are activated. To test the hypothesis that during development of BA and associated liver fibrosis there is a *leaky gut* and/or a change in microbiome we will use human material to…
This study aims at (further) revealing the pathophysiology of intestinal IR in man, with a specific interest for the role of proteases and protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2), cellular and inflammatory changes, barrier function and intestinal…
The aim of our study is to measure 1) the prevalence of signs of child abuse and neglect in children with functional defecation disorders, 2) whether signs of child abuse and neglect are more common in children with functional defecation disorders…
To characterize the interaction between the gut microbiome, related metabolites, immune function, and perceived complaints in QFS-patients, CFS-patients, and healthy individuals.
To investigate associations between IBD severity, ASCA titer, microbiota composition and C. albicans strains present in feces.
The primary objective is to assess environmental, hygiene-related risk factors for MC. Secondary objectives are the difference between the CC and LC subpopulation regarding hygiene-related risk factors, living area as potential risk factor and the…
The aim of this pilot study is to assess whether the cerebral metabolic changes in RA patients, are also present in CD patients with active disease and fatigue. The influence of chronic inflammation on cerebral metabolism in CD patients will be…
Aim of the present study is to characterize esophageal epithelial damage in NERD, EE and healthy controls by analysis of epithelial integrity, immunohistochemical markers of epithelial damage and histological changes of esophageal epithelium.
Primary:- To identify causal genetic variants and proteomes involved in achalasia and to study their relevanceSecundary:- To build-up a large scale harmonized biobank of achalasia patients, based on combining existing and new data from the European…
- To determine the difference in baseline mucosal oxygen saturation measurements and after luminal feeding between patients diagnosed with CGI and healthy subjects. - To determine the difference in baseline mucosal oxygen saturation measurements…
A close correlation has been demonstrated between iron absorption and the capacity of gastric juice to release food iron. At high levels of gastric pH (>3,6), negligible amounts of non-haem iron would be released from dietary components and…
To ex vivo assess the difference in effect of administration of NSAIDs, PPISs and SSRIs on the paracellular permeability of colon biopsies (i.e. change in trans-epithelial electrical resistance) between active, remission and non-MC patients, using…
This study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of global coagulation parameters in patients with ASC both in hospital and up to 12 weeks after discharge. The results will help define the period at risk for VTE and inform the rationale for…
Primary: To demonstrate that a liquid Neocate product (elemental nutrition) study decreased esophageal eosinophil count to less than 15 eosinophils per high-power field in adult patients with eosinophilic esophagitis.Secondary: To study the effect…
