1) To investigate IFN type I signature as an early biomarker for progression to SLE. 2) To establish effects of increased innate immune system activation on adaptive immune system, in particular on B-cells. 3) To establish IFN type I activation as…
Primary objective- Short- and mid-term repeatability of mDLS and LSCI measures;- Comparison of blood flow obtained by LSCI and blood flow obtained by mDLS;- Comparison of coagulation status obtained by mDLS and coagulation status assessed by…
We aim to gain insights in proximal and distal tubular reabsorption of iron, transferrin, NTBI and labile plasma iron (LPI). To this purpose, we will study urinary iron, transferrin, NTBI and LPI concentrations relative to urinary creatinine…
To investigate whether the upregulation of CK16 and Ki-67 (a marker for cell proliferation) in the FPSU is specific for HS, measured in inflammatory nodules and pseudo-comedones, in comparison to other dermatologic conditions that have comparable (…
The main objective is to investigate the additional value of CRP-POCT (C-reactive protein point-of-care-test) testing in patients suspected of airway infections in long-term care facilities.
Various brain areas play a crucial role in both pain and cognition, supporting the existence of a close relationship between pain and cognition. Consequently, it is important to examine whether pain experience changes at the moment the patient shows…
The aim of Prevent CardioKids is to evaluate to what extend disturbed vascular function markers are present in children of different weight categories and whether these are age dependent. Also differences * and relationships between * vascular…
To unravel the cause(s) of the FH phenotype in patients with no mutations in well-established lipid genes (LDLR, APOB, PCSK9).
Considering the lack of consensus, we feel these mechanisms merit additional focus and research. LD transfer changes shoulder anatomy and thus affects the complex interplay in the glenohumeral and scapulothoracic joints. So far, no study has been…
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…
Hypotheses: - For patients undergoing a laparoscopic left or right hemihepatectomy (with or without the need for one additional hepatic wedge resection or metastasectomy), time to functional recovery is reduced by 2 days in comparison with patients…
Investigate the association between BRCA1/2-mutations, DNA damage, apoptosis and oocyte/embryo quality in immature germinal vesicle (GV) bearing oocytes, immature metaphase 1 (MI) and unfertilized mature metaphase 2 (MII) oocytes and affected early-…
The aim of the study is three-fold: First to reveal the clinical course of overweight, second to reveal the clinical course of complaints in overweight and non-overweight children and third to identify leads for prevention of (sustained) overweight…
To test The Selection Failure hypothesis by assessing A) the degree of embryo invasiveness and decidual acceptance (the quality of decidualization, endometrium-embryo communication and endometrial stromal cell (ESC) migration) and B) the angiogeneic…
In the proposed project we aim to predict falls in daily life and to identify both aging- and disease-related impairments that underlie impaired postural control and an increased risk of falling in daily life.
Our goal is to develop and validate a Movement Diagnostic System (MDS) to accurately locate specific CNS pathological changes in ET, PD-T and DYS, with the use of fMRI and scanner compatible EMG, accelerometry, video, and wrist perturbator.
To compare the protein profile of Barrett*s mucosa with and without early neoplasia in ER specimens in epithelial and stroma aiming to identify a biomarker indicating presence of early neoplasia in BE.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of adipokines-secretion in visceral adipose tissue and its influence on the risk for esophageal adenocarcinoma. Examination of adipose tissue may provide important insight into mechanistic links…
The objective of this study is to investigate if the Thrombin Generation Curve has an additional, possible more accurate, value besides the conventional tests such as PT, APTT, INR, AT and the mearument of coagulationfactors for determining…
Previous studies [10] have proposed that cartilage degeneration due to obesity could be caused by changes in the joint kinematics during ADL that shifts the loading applied to cartilage. Such a shift may cause regions of cartilage to become newly (…
