To determine whether the attenuated salivary cortisol response in children with asthma can be explained by the maintenance use of inhaled cortiocosteroids, the chronic inflammatory disease, or the attenuated exercise capacity.
1. To explore the validity and usefulness of Bone Microindentation Technique (BMT) in the assessment of bone quality in patients with osteoporosis and a spectre of bone diseases characterised with (localised) increased bone turnover. 2. To study the…
To determine the sensitivity and specificity of salivary metanephrines and in patients with PCC/sPGL.
Objectives: Part 1) To assess the prevalence of PA in general practice (part 1 of this study);Part 2) To describe differences of cardiorenovascular damage in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients with versus without PA (part 2 of this study);Part 3…
ObjectiveThe main goal of this investigation is to evaluate the thyroid hormone response in patients with TMNG and control subjects in response to various pharmacological and physiological stimuli, administered according to the dynamic exposure test…
To determine the value of multimodality image registration of cone-beam CT (CBCT) and CT in increasing the success rate of adrenal vein sampling procedure compared to procedures without CBCT guidance.
Primary objective:to identify new and improved disease biomarkers and establish the biochemical and molecular basis for variations in the clinical presentation of the different groups of tumors.Secondary objectives:• compare the diagnostic utility…
Establishment whether usage of high viscosity PMMA bone cement in PVP for OVCFs leads to a reduction in leakage incidence compared to usage of conventional (low-medium) viscosity PMMA bone cement in PVP for OVCFs.Since evidence is scarce or…
Primary objective: to obtain an comparison of the diagnostic result after an ultrasound assisted fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the thyroidal gland by use of a smaller diameter (25G) and / or a special coating.
In order to confirm and externally validate the novel panel of genes identified in our study (06/101/K) to be significantly predictive of recurrent implantation failure, we will recruit 50 additional subjects treated by IVF who have undergone at…
The aim of the present study is to assess the necessity of dietary restrictions before sampling for the biochemical diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. Therefore, the short-term influence of a catecholamine-rich diet on plasma free and total metanephrine…
To detect differences between ACC patients and controls without ACC, and between the diseased and healthy adrenal gland of ACC patients, in microRNA (miRNA), circulating cell-free tumor DNA (ctDNA), circulating tumor cells (CTCs), and steroid…
Primary objective: To assess and compare the difference in thyroid gland secretion capacity by measuring maximal FT4 and FT3 response upon intramuscular administration of 0.9mg Thyrogen assessed by AUC0-48hours in SCT subjects and healthy controls.…
Primary objectives pancreatic cancer:• In this clinical pilot study, we will assess the effect size to perform a power calculation for a subsequent clinical trial. Therefore we want to evaluate the ability of metabolic 7T MRI imaging to determine…
To assess whether premature aging of both the innate and adaptive arms of theimmune system are associated with COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. Identify immune (andendocrine) parameters that might be of use in predicting disease progression and…
The main objective of the research is to differentiate between benign and malignant thyroid nodules using the GC-IMS for the analysis of breath, urine and blood in a (multicenter) study and reduce the amount of unnecessary surgery.
Primary Objectives: - Assess the feasibility and clinical value of 7T MR to provide a more detailed anatomic description of the anterior visual pathway in NFMA patients compared to conventional MRI. - Assess the feasibility of high-field MRI to…
