To examine the effect of BCG vaccination on the composition and function of the bone marrow.
The goal of the project is to validate the developed standardized atrophy measurement method at VU University Medical Centre in patients with MS. This is done by testing how well the measurements of atrophy agree between different scanners and…
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the differences in [18F]FEOBV binding between PD patients and healthy control subjects, in order to evaluate the clinical feasibility of [18F]FEOBV as a cholinergic imaging ligand in PD. Secondary…
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.
The primary objective is to assess neuropsychological function in X-ALD patients without active cerebral demyelinating disease. Data of minors will be compared to matched healthy controls. Data of adults will be compared to reference values. The…

-DEHUSAPS study-
To assess whether salivary gland stem cell (SGCS) defects are key to salivary gland pathogenesis in pSS.
The proposed study will further examine the effects of pregnancy on the human brain, by investigating structural and functional connectivity, local metabolite concentrations and neural activity related to social cognitive and memory processes.…
Primary Objective:First we need to establish that patients with an eating disorder and healthy controls differ in mental imagery. So, the first aim of our research is to compare the nature and characteristics (emotionality, vividness and perspective…
Investigating and comparing two disorders (i.e., OCD and GD) with phenomenological different types of compulsive behaviors central to their pathology can elucidate common mechanisms of compulsivity in psychiatry - core features- as well as specific…
The primary objective is to assess the 18-month incidence of inappropriate shocks in subjects implanted with the EMBLEM Subcutaneous Implantable Defibrillator (S-ICD) programmed with zone cutoffs at 200 bpm and 250 bpm and:- an indication for…
Main study:We want to assess whether bleeding risk in women with uterine leiomyomas is associated with CK activity and attenuated platelet aggregation.Objective of pilot study:Firstly, to perform a feasibility pilot of CK/AK measurement in menstrual…
The primary objective is to measure the longitudinal changes of PDE10A enzyme availability in the caudate, putamen, and globus pallidus of Huntington*s Disease Gene Expansion Carrier (HDGECs) by comparison of the follow-up and initial Positron…
Primary objectives:- To investigate possible differences in driving performances between premanifest gene carriers, manifest HD, and control subjects.- To explore if different aspects of cognitive functioning might be a predictor of fitness to drive…
This study aims at, first, assessing the most relevant exposure aspects of night-shift work and, second, identifying biomarkers for both acute and chronic circadian disruption associated to these specific nightshift work aspects. By applying…
Primary Objective:Pilot study: Selection of the titanium derivatives which are capable of penetrating the skin, and thus can be used in the full study as patch test materials.Full study: To compare the results of three different diagnostic tests…
The aim of this study is to explore the added value of the indol profile in comparison to serotonin in platelets and 5-HIAA in urine for diagnosis and potentially management of neuroendocrine tumors including gastrinomas, pNETs and brochopulmonary…
The aim of this study is to determine whether male microchimerism is present in patients with MRKH syndrome. This would be a sign of intrauterine cell trafficking - and possible AMH transfer- from male to female co-twin. This placental blood…
The primary objective of the study is to determine whether patients with PA have a higher level of arterial wall inflammation than patients with essential hypertension. Secondary Objectives: To determine whether circulating monocytes of patients…
The main goal of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of using 1) passive treadmill belt speed perturbations to measure spinal reflex activity in the calf muscles; and 2) active real-time visual feedback on dedicated gait parameters to highlight…
To quantify muscle relaxation properties of fingerflexors using transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients with different myopathies to develop a screening diagnostic tool to assess who does (not) suffer from an underlying myopathy.
