A phase III prospective, two-cohort non-randomized, multi-centre, multinational, open label study to assess the safety of assisted- and self-administered subcutaneous trastuzumab as therapy in patients with operable Her2-positive early breast cancer.

The main purpose of this study is to determine the side effects of trastuzumab when it is given by each of these subcutaneous injection methods. The study will also gather information about whether and when the cancer comes back after taking…

Urinary markers for fetal growth restriction: the role of gaseous vasoactive molecules.

Hypothesis: gaseous signaling molecules influence placental vasomotor activity to compensate for hypoxemia. Metabolites of these vasoactive molecules can be found in the blood and urine and can indicate whether this (compensatory) mechanism is used…

Cortical mechanisms of vestibular influence on hand choice.

The main objective is to investigate the preparatory process in left primary motor cortex in relation to hand choice during whole-body motion.
