Primary objective: To assess the effects of hypercaloric overfeeding in humans on vascular and metabolic insulin sensitivity and moreover, to establish whether insulin resistance develops in the vasculature before it occurs in peripheral tissue…
We will investigate the relationship between this permeability measure and (i) cognitive performance and (ii) the status of MRI visible cerebrovascular pathology (i.e. white matter hyperintensities, lacunar infarctions, microbleeds) in the most…
The primary aim of the current proposal is to get a better understanding of how CeD risk genes contribute to disease aetiology. To achieve this, we will apply a holistic approach in which we will study the behaviour of immune cells and the…
The aim of the study is to investigate the neurobiology of Conduct Disorder (CD) in female and male children and adolescents, and examine for sex differences in the phenotype (clinical presentation) of CD, and the relationships between CD and…
The primary objective of CDfuture is to provide duodenal biopsies of patients with and without CD, and venous blood samples, to continue CD research as described above.
Primairy objective:To compare the incidence of inflammation between the test group (MIPS technique using an Oticon Medical Ponto abutment and implant) and control group ( Hultcrantz technique using an Oticon Medical Ponto abutment and implant) after…
The overall objective of this study is to identify valid biomarkers for POD/POCD.
The generic objective of the study is to explore associations between exposure to livestock farms and potential health effects. This study will focus on 1) respiratory health effects, 2) Livestock associated infections (zoonoses), 3) Carriage of…
The BAV study is a clinical and genetic study to unravel biomarker and imaging predictors of adverse outcome and to explore the pathogenetic basis of bicuspid aortic valves and it*s associated pathologies. We will also deliver insights in the…
To identify (clinical) features of MMN patients that predict a poor clinical disease course. Moge agressive IVIg regimen can be established is this subgroup to maintain functional status of the patient. To find domains in quality of life in MMN…
We hypothesise that, in comparison with the current practice of aggressive nutritional support, tolerating caloric deficits early during critical illness in critically ill children has *carry-over* effects, through epigenetic changes, that improve…
We here wish to apply new advancements in multi-color flow cytometry for a detailed and sensitive examination of mast cells in peripheral blood of patients with SM.
To determine the reproducibility and validity of specific outcome measures for skeletal and respiratory fatigability in subjects with SMA.
To determine the prevalence of mycobacterial, propionibacterial and beryllium, aluminium and zirconium sensitized patients within a well-defined Dutch cohort of biopsy proven sarcoidosis patients.New clinico-pathological phenotypes within the group…
Primary objective: Investigate the effects of acute stress on resting state and task-induced connectivity in the brain of healthy individuals and unaffected siblings of schizophrenia patients. Secondary objectives: - Correlate the endocrine stress…
In this long term study programme we wish to establish a prospective database and biobank of patients undergoing elective major surgery and healthy subjects. Using the data collected in the patient database and biobank, we will perform analyses…
To determine the relationship between phenotypic, genetic and biochemical features of AD. , Relevant bimarkers of the skin barrier function including the levels of NMFs, inflammatory mediators (e.g. IL-1 cytokines), SC lipids and serine proteases…
In the proposed study, we will experimentally elucidate the effect of DBS on various critical dimensions of cognitive control including: the free will experience, instrumental learning, environmental change detection and working memory.
To detect potential genomic denominators between tumorgenesis factors in neuroblastoma and differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
To evaluate the clinical usefulness of the VU-AMS in pediatric cardiology.To validate and improve the measures of stroke volume from the VU-AMS device in a clinical population. VU-AMS stroke volume measures will be compared with stroke volume…
