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.

-DEHUSAPS study-
To assess whether salivary gland stem cell (SGCS) defects are key to salivary gland pathogenesis in pSS.
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…
To investigate whether sodium and potassium mutations are found in a cohort of patients with small fiber neuropathy, painful diabetic neuropathy (versus diabetes patients with no or only minor symptoms) and in patients with breast, ovarium or…
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…
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…
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…
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.
The present research proposal aims at investigating the distinction between healthy and pathological narcissism. In particular, the role of empathy is studied.The present study is the first in which patients with narcissistic personality disorder…
We aim to gain insight into the incidence and severity of CIPN and its influence on patient-reported outcomes (i.e. health related quality of life (HRQoL), disease-specific complaints, depression, fatigue, sleep problems) among a prospective…
In the current study, we want to demonstrate Rienso uptake in the vessel wall in patients with cardiovascular disease and relate the uptake of Rienso to endothelial permeability.
