Main question: What is the lung function of late preterm births compared with children born at term at age 12? Sub-questions: - Which respiratory symptoms in late preterm infants at age 12?
Objective: To test the hypotheses that Feedback Informed Treatment together with treatment as usual will show significant more improvement than treatment as usual alone.
1) To perform gene mutation analysis in family members of patients carrying a proven mutation in the candidate gene.2) To determine the clinical, biochemical and radiological characteristics of carriers of a mutation in the candidate gene.3) To…
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 aim of this study is to determine whether children between 5-17 years born to women with an autoimmune disorder and prednisone use during pregnancy have chronically elevated cortisol levels compared to children born to women with an autoimmune…
The aim of the study is to investigate the neurobiology of Conduct Disorder (CD) in female and male children and adolescents, and examine for sex differences in the phenotype (clinical presentation) of CD, and the relationships between CD and…
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 develop a novel multi-parametric diagnostic model for the management of patients with LRTI and/or sepsis that will be based on novel pathogen- and host-related factors.
We hypothesise that, in comparison with the current practice of aggressive nutritional support, tolerating caloric deficits early during critical illness in critically ill children has *carry-over* effects, through epigenetic changes, that improve…
PrimairyTo clinically validate a finger prick DBS method compared to conventional venous sampling for the analysis of 5 immunosuppressive and 4 azole antifungal drugs in the pediatric population. Secondairy• Feasibility of the novel finger prick DBS…
To determine the reproducibility and validity of specific outcome measures for skeletal and respiratory fatigability in subjects with SMA.
The aim of the study is to strengthen the basis for a new application of pupillometry (i.e., the measurement of pupil dilation) within the field of Audiology. An innovative method to quantify listening effort (pupillometry) will be further developed…
Primary Objective: to derive iPSCs from patients with a variety of diseases caused by genetic mutations or genetic predisposition to disease or of unknown origin. The cells will be propagated and differentiated into a variety of somatic cell types…
Primary Objectives: 1.1: To evaluate the feasibility of determining sensory thresholds in patients with JIA using QST.1.2: To examine which sensory modalities are particularly affected in JIA patients compared to healthy controls in order to define…
To detect potential genomic denominators between tumorgenesis factors in neuroblastoma and differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
To evaluate the clinical usefulness of the VU-AMS in pediatric cardiology.To validate and improve the measures of stroke volume from the VU-AMS device in a clinical population. VU-AMS stroke volume measures will be compared with stroke volume…
Objective of this pilot study is to investigate differences in neuropsychological functioning between CAH patients and healthy controls. Differences in neuropsychological functioning may influence the quality of life and daily functioning of…
To gain a better insight into the genetic factors that play a role in the etiology of the thoracic aortic aneurysm with the following specific aims:1. Study of specific geneitc factos that play a role in the pathogenesis of both syndromic and non-…
With this study we aim to investigate the emotional development, behavior, social behavior, variation in personality traits and intellectual functioning in a group of children who are diagnosed with narcolepsy with of without cataplexie, according…
- The main hypothesis of this study is that JIA patients at risk of a flare due to subclinical inflammatory activity may be identified by analysis of the phagocyte activity marker S100A12 and hsCRP. The goal is a stratification of the therapeutic…
