1. Immunology and Pathology:To determine the immune response of patients with simple and complex appendicitis in order to identify markers which distinguish between simple and complex appendicitis.2.Clinical and Imaging:To analyze the differences in…
To characterize the interaction between the gut microbiome, related metabolites, immune function, and perceived complaints in QFS-patients, CFS-patients, and healthy individuals.
To determine the frequency of MBL and FCN SNPs in patients with a history of a proven gram-positive bacteremia, compared to patients without such history. A secondary objective is to determine whether extracorporeal circuits, used in cardiothoracic…
In this exploratory pilot study, we aim to investigate the role of immune activation in osteoporosis in HIV-infected patients on HAART with proven osteoporosis/ osteopenia in comparison to HIV-infected patients on HAART without osteoporosis/…
The aim of this study is to determine whether the presence and the extent of periodontitis are independently related to the presence and extent of coronary calcification.To determine if periodontal treatment has an positive effect on the…
The aim of this study is to explore the prevalence of HAND in people living with HIV.
The aim of this study is to create a prognostic model enabling the clinician to predict the outcome of a septic episode. Furthermore, by getting more insight in the pathophysiologic proces of sepsis, we could discover new possible targets for future…
To determine the presence of ACPAs in patients with generalized severe periodontitis. Second objective is to assess RA development of ACPA positive periodontitis patients in the future.
The objective of this study is to gain insight in HIV infected children in the AMC in:.- the prevalence and clinical signs of livertoxicity - an association between the different compounds of combination anti-retroviral therapy (cART) and…
The aim of the study is to explore the prevalence of HAND in people living with hiv.
The main objective of this part of the study (Work Package 1, WP1) which is part of a n European Union funded FP7 project entitled EUCLIDS is to develop, maintain and regulate the clinical network required to collect clinical data and patient…
To determine the genetic risk of susceptibility to, or severity of community-acquired pneumonia by comparing the interpersonal genetic variation of the host immune response of patients with community-acquired pneumonia to healthy controls and by…
1. To determine, in patients treated with TNF α blockers and living in the Q-fever endemic area, the prevalence of antibodies against C. burnetii and the prevalence of chronic Q fever.2. To assess other determinants in this group of patients which…
Primary objective: To determine the effect of hyperbilirubinemia on systemic activation of the innate immune response induced by a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Secondary Objective(s): - To determine if hyperbilirubinemia shifts the pro-anti…
To identify human genetic variants that influence susceptibility or resistance to HIV infection
The principal goal of this study is to identify whether and how innate immune host factors predispose to the development of chronic Q-fever.
To evaluate neurologic- and cognitive disorders, neuroimaging and ophthalmological alterations in perinatally HIV-infected children in comparison to matched (with respect to age, sex, race, home environment and socio-economic status) healthy…

To evaluate the effect of age of transfused erythrocytes on expression of *eat me* signals on erythrocytes in several critically ill patient populations (septic and non-septic patients) and to correlate these signals with parameters of impaired…
To study the relationship between (a) abnormal concentrations of plasma amino-acids, pterins, HVA and inflammatory parameters and (b) the severity, duration and outcome of delirium. To find a biochemical profile that predicts the occurrence of a…
