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…
Within this project we aim to determine the energetic conditions that underlie the transition to hypertrophy of the HOCM heart. A prospective comparison will be made between results of PET, MRI and function of cardiac myofilaments (in vitro). Also,…
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 main objective of this study is to assess the ability of a wearable measurement system, the Hexoskin smart shirt, to detect and quantify dynamic hyperinflation. Secondary objectives are to determine the optimal measurement procedure and to…
This project aims to understand the symptomatology PD in the light of functional brain interactions, in the hope of elucidating the role of the frontal striatal system to behaviour.
To compare sex differences in brain functioning using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in healthy pre-pubertal boys and girls with a group of children diagnosed with GID. Subjects will have a second fMRI scan, as soon as they enter…
1) To evaluate the feasibility and the acute effect of intra-operative cryoablation of the slow conducting anatomical isthmuses (endpoint bidirectional conduction block) and on the re-inducibility of monomorphic isthmus dependent VT. 2) To study the…
Idenification of new Hirschsprung's disease associated genes.
The main aim of this project is to identify genetic and metabolic risk factors for mild MR and borderline intelligence.
The present study aims to investigate several cognitive and emotional factors associated with chronicity of alcohol dependence.
To investigate whether propriocepsis or reflexes are present after nerve reconstruction
Lynch-related tumors mostly develop in the ascending right side of the colon (70-85%). Strikingly, it was recently discovered that dense bacterial biofilms and invasive bacteria occur in the colonic mucosa of 87% of right-sided colorectal cancer (…
To determine ex vivo neutrophil functions following exposure to therapeutic antibodies targeting inhibitory receptors expressed by neutrophils from RSV bronchiolitis patients. A secondary aim is to study soluble inhibitory receptors (such as LAIR-1…
Rationale and Objective: Up till now, neuronal correlates of post-stroke epilepsy and the comorbid cognitive dysfunction in patients are largely unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study is to unravel imaging biomarkers of post-stroke epilepsy. We…
The primary objective of the study is to examine muscle atrophy in fetuses with single or bilateral IPEV, in comparison to a normal population by measuring the circumference of the upper and lower legs by ultrasound examination. The length of the…
- to investigate the difference in diacylglycerol species and subcellular localisation in athletes, sedentary insulin sensitive subjects and sedentary insulin resistant subjects. - to investigate the potential effect of alternative DAG localization…
Primary objective of this study: To establish glycocalyx properties of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients. Secondary objectives of this study:- To establish differences in glycocalyx properties of glycocalyx between TLE patients and controls.- To…
This study aims to isolate and culture myogenic stem cells called mesoangioblasts from the muscle biopsies to explore if genetic correction of LAMA2 mutations using CRISPR-Cas9 can be achieved and subsequently assess the effect in vitro, as a first…
1. To evaluate if breastmilk of mothers who recovered from a proven COVID-19 infection contains antibodies (IgA) against SARS-CoV2.2. To evaluate if these antibodies are still present after pasteurization according the Holder method.
