Main objective: To test the efficacy of thyroxine replacement for subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) in older adults. Primary Objective: To determine multi-modal effects (quality of life; cognitive; musculoskeletal and cardiovascular) of levo-…
Primary Objective: To compare the effects of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism on cardiac left ventricular function, as assessed by CMR, in subjects with differentiated thyroid cancer during their early treatment.Secondary Objective(s): To compare…
1) To study the late effects of 131-I treatment and TSH suppressive therapy as well as quality of life in patients with childhood-onset DTC. 2) To determine the presence of RET/PTC 1 and 3 translocations and BRAF mutations, and to investigate their…
First objective: To assess improvement in live birth rate after levothyroxine supplementation. Secondary objective: 1) to test the hypothesis that levothyroxine lowers the risk for miscarriage and preterm birth 2) to test the hypothesis that…
1. Does Levothyroxine treatment for subclinical hypothyroidism give multi-modal benefits for the oldest old people with subclinical hypothyroidism?2. Are benefits seen across a wide range of outcomes, including prevention of cardiovascular disease,…
1. Normalization of the abnormal serum TH parameters and thereby improving the clinical condition of the AHDS patients2. Observation of changes in cognitive and motor function.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the function and effect of deiodinase type 3 in PMN*s and the mechanisms behind its induction following activation of these cells.
Imaging disease activity in patients with Graves' orbitopathy using [18F]-FDG-PET/CT - a pilot study
To determine whether 18FGD-PET/CT imaging is able to show difference in [18F]-FDG uptake in orbital tissue between patients with active and inactive GO.
The study aims to determine the value of combined 124I PET and FDG PET to avoid futile treatment with 131I. Secundary aims are to validate functional imaging with histopathological correlation, and to optimize and standardize the new 124I technique…
To study the extent of impaired urinary concentrating ability in hypothyroidism as well as the pathophysiological mechanisms involved before and after adequate treatment.
The purpose of this study is to find out if patients with locally advanced/metastatic Radioactive Iodine-refractory (RAI) thyroid cancer (papillary, follicular or Hurthle cell carcinoma), will benefit from sorafenib treatment compared to patients…
The family with the TRα2 premature stop enables us to investigate the biological role of the orphan wild-type TRα2 and the consequences of its dysfunction. The primary objectives of this proposal are (i) to search for a biological function of TRα2…
To find out if the mean thyroid volumes of healthy 10-12 and 17-18 years old Dutch children and adolescents are the same or larger than in the late nineteen nineties, and if the dietary iodine intake of these children and adolescents has decreased…
Primary Objectives 1. To assess whether radioiodine therapy results in hyposalivation, altered saliva composition and xerostomia in DTC patients.2. To assess whether the extent of radioiodine uptake on the pre- and post-therapy WBS and SPECT/CT is…
To assess the changes in cardiac function and the microcirculatory function in different thyroid states. We aim to identify how thyroid state affects changes in micro and macro hemodynamics.
The primary objective is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of RV 001 (a fully human anti-IGF-1R antibody) administered q3W for 6 months, in comparison to placebo, in the treatment of patients suffering from active TED.Secondary…
To determine that rhTSH pretretament during euthyroidism ( already available in an number of centra in the Netherlands) in a adequately powered study is as good as the classical way of inducing hypothyrodism by withholding suppletion which induces…
Immunodetection of Thyrothrophin (TSH) receptor in myometrium tissue.Furtermore the aim is to test myometrium tissue in vitro for it's relaxation and contractility and it's conductance of electropotentials.
Main objectiveTo describe the experienced pain sensations of temperature and to describe the different temperature sensitivity thresholds using Quantitative Sensory Test (QST) in the different patient groups.secondairy objectiveAs a measure of the…
The aim of this study is to investigate how often thymic hyperplasia is present in Graves' disease. Moreover we will investigate if thymic hyperplasia in Graves' disease is caused by stimulation of T cell development in the thymus.
