The primary objective is to investigate the influence of auditory and non-auditory factors on speech recognition abilities in quiet and in noise in CI users. For this reason we will study the effects of linguistic skills and working memory capacity…
The main aim of this project is to identify genetic and metabolic risk factors for mild MR and borderline intelligence.
The aim of this MRI study is to understand how neurodegeneration in MS (in vivo) is related to other facets of MS pathology, i.e. inflammatory (T2) lesions, black hole (T1) lesions, cortical lesions and damage of the normal appearing brain tissue.…
This will be a pilot study that aims to gain insight into the effect of Gaucher disease on bone metabolism. For this purpose we formulated the following research questions:What is the effect of inflammatory factors in the serum of patients with…
The objective of this research is to develop a method which can identify among all consanguineous couples the ones which are at high risk.
Assessment of microvascular alterations using orthogonal spectral polarization and correlate this with markers for endothelial cell dysfunction, fibrosis and histology in patients with renal function impairment who will undergo renal biopsy and…
To investigate whether propriocepsis or reflexes are present after nerve reconstruction
The present study aims to investigate several cognitive and emotional factors associated with chronicity of alcohol dependence.
1. To evaluate the clinical usefulness of STIC with post-process rendering capability. Our goal is to investigate whether STIC gives more accurate information about a suspected cardiac anomaly, compared to conventional 2D ultracardiography.2. To…
Idenification of new Hirschsprung's disease associated genes.
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…
The study objective is the assessment of influence on glucose homeostasis as a consequence of starting switching, discontinuing or doses changes with antidepressants in a population of diabetic patients.
The main aim of the study is therefore to examine mu wave activity during observation, execution of movements and during movement imagery in comparison to a passive resting state and active relaxation condition in stroke patients and matched healthy…
The objective of this study is to investigate if CEC are elevated in SCD (and if they could therefore serve as a potential tool for assessing SCD activity), and what the relation of CEC is to the patients medical history and to specific laboratory…
Evaluation of quality of life and resoration of function after bile duct injury.
The main objective of this study is to increase current insights into the role of auditory and cognitive factors in the reduced ability to understand speech in noisy environment, particularly for hearing impaired people. These insights will help to…
Rationale: Approximately, 10-20% of older adult patients present with non-specific complaints (NSCs) at the emergency department (ED). NSCs are known as poorly described symptoms, such as ‘weakness’ and ‘fatigue’, often leading to an extensive…
