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…
The main objective is to assess target attainment of cefotaxime levels in the critically ill treated with either continuously or intermittently dosed cefotaxime. Secondary objectives are: to develop a predictive mathematical pharmacokinetic (PK)…
The primary objective of this controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the clinical effect of systemic amoxicillin plusmetronidazole therapy in conjunction with surgical treatment of peri-implantitis. The secondary objective is toassess the…
Primary objective;Confirm superiority of IgG antibody levels against pertussis toxin (Ptx), present in the acellular vaccines, in infants at the age of 3 months of mothers having received a pertussis vaccine during pregnancy versus infants of…
The hypothesis is that a switch from intravenous to oral antimicrobial therapy is non-inferior to standard intravenous therapy in patients with low-risk SAB. Therefore, the primary objective of the trial is to demonstrate, that oral switch therapy (…
The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether FMT after antibiotic therapy is more effective than conventionalantibiotic therapy alone in patients with a first episode of CDI.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of two antibiotics ( neomycin sulfate and colistin sulfate), followed by fecal bacteria therapy , to multidrug - resistant bacteria (E - ESBL and EPC) to be eradicated from the intestine.
To develop a novel multi-parametric diagnostic model for the management of patients with LRTI and/or sepsis that will be based on novel pathogen- and host-related factors.
The primary objective of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the clinical effect of decontamination of the implant surface during the non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis using air polishing or ultrasonic treatment. Secondary…
To identify the most effective and safe long-term S. aureus carriage decolonization strategy in HPN patients. Ultimately this willlead to less antimicrobial resistance, less catheter removals and lower mortality rates. Also, other chronic…
Primary: To determine the effects of MIH on circulatory, inflammatory and metabolic aspects of host response to sepsis.Secondary: To determine if MIH prevents and/or decreases the severity of ICU-AW in septic shock.
To determine the effectiveness and, subsequently, the cost-effectiveness of a endoscopic transluminal step-up approach (ETD & ETN) versus a surgical step-up approach (PCD & VARD ,if not possible laparotomy) to improve clinical…
Primary objective: To determine the safety of once daily inhalation of the recommended daily dose of tobramycin with the Akita® and the PARI-LC® Plus nebulizer in patients with CF. Systemic absorption can be used as surrogate parameter for safety.…
To determine whether (supplemental) human donor milk has beneficial effects (in terms of reduction of infectious episodes and mortality) when compared to (supplemental) preterm formula during the first 10 days of life in VLBW infants. Amendement ESS…
Primary objective: To investigate whether pharmacokinetics of the recommended dose of inhaled tobramycin, defined as serum tobramycin Area Under the Curve (AUC0-24hr), with the I-neb (75 mg) is equivalent to the PariLCPlus (300 mg) nebuliser in…
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…
The primary objective of this controlled clinical study is to evaluate the clinical effect of decontamination of the implant surfaceduring the surgical treatment of peri-implantitis using a 35% phosphoric acid gel or saline.The secondary objective…
The aim of this study is to investigate immune response to pneumococcal vaccination in patients after community acquired pneumonia with S. pneumoniae compared to pneumonia patients with another pathogen.
The aim of our study is to evaluate clinical outcomes of patients primarily closed over Redon catheters for the treatment of PSM, comparing the application of local gentamicin with a control group.
The purpose of the study is to test whether a centre-wide policy of incremental antibiotic therapy will reduce arrhythmia device infection in patients undergoing arrhythmia device procedures compared to a policy of conventional antibiotic…
