Determining the role of duplex ultrasound in patients with a clinical suspicion for temporal arteritis.Determing the sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value of duplex ultrasound in patients with a clinical…
This study aims to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the history and physical examination for the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis, compared with the superficial temporal artery biopsy, and get more insight into the positive and…
To determine the effect of a single red blood cell transfusion on the microcirculation.
The primary objectives of the study are to assess the prevalence of large artery inflammation in patients with temporal arteritis or an unexplained inflamatory response and the diagnostic utility of 18FDG-PET/CT in patients with an unexplained…
The aim of the current study proposal is to test the validity of a decision tree focused on skin autofluorescence, and based on the results described above, as a detection tool for diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance in 2 new cohorts, one in an…
The aim of this project is to assess whether 4D-CTA can generate 3D cranial image data sets with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution to enable its use as a diagnostic tool in cerebrovascular pathology and physiology such as arteriovenous…
The principal aim of this study is to examine whether glycocalyx volume, as estimated by SDF-imaging, is associated with cardiovascular risk as estimated by conventional risk scores.
What is the base-line StO2 reference value in intestinal stoma's. ? Is NIRS a reliable detector of intestinal ischamia ? What is the influence of filling-status on StO2 in the stoma and sublingually ? What is the influence of NTG on StO2 in the…
To demonstrate the relation between the passive stiffness and the functional recovery of the CVA-patients. The passive stiffness will be measured clinicaly and instrumentaly.
The objective of this study is to identify whether pelvic collateralisation occurs when a temporary acute obstruction is induced in the left common iliac vein of healthy subjects.
To establish criteria that differentiate between large-vessel vasculitis and atherosclerosis as a cause of enhanced vascular 18-FDG uptake on 18-FDG-PET/CT.
The aim is to develop a method that can be used to determine, already in the ambulance, whether a patient suffers a stroke and if so, what the cause of stroke is. In this project we want to develop nanotechnology that is capable of detecting…
Primary Objective: to evaluate arterial [18F]fluor-PEG-folate uptake on PET/CT in patients with active, large vessel GCA; and in the same patients after 9 months of standard treatment.Secondary objectives are:- Assessment of the relationship between…
Main objective:To investigate the association between systemic vascular- and urinary albumin leakage in patients with diabetes.Secondary objectives:-To investigate whether systemic vascular- and/or urinary albumin leakage is associated with systemic…
In this study, two co-primary objectives are stated. The first one is to analyse the change of T50 during haemodialysis treatments. The second primary objective is to determine the effect of pre-analytical variables on the T50 measurements,…
Primary Objective: to evaluate arterial or synovial 89Zr-Df-crefmirlimab uptake on PET/CT in patients with GCA or RASecondary objectives are:1. Assessment of the relationship between 89Zr-Df-crefmirlimab uptake and the presence of CD8 T cells in…
Primary Objective: 1. To evaluate if chest CT can be withheld in post-embolization patients without or with a minimal pulmonary right-to-left shunt, based on:a. The evaluation of the grade of pulmonary RLS on TTCE after PAVM embolization in patients…
The main objective is to test if PH occurs in patients treated with thoracic radiotherapy and identify dose metrics and other risk factors for the development of PH after thoracic radiotherapy. In addition, changes in systolic and diastolic…
The overall aim is to improve therapy and prognosis in patients with GCA by improving the diagnostic process. We wish to do so by comparing 3 imaging techniques in a cross-sectional manner. The following goal was formulated:To compare validity and…
To investigate if participation in a moderate to high-intensity exercise program during adjuvant chemotherapy has reduced cardiovascular toxicity in women with breast cancer after an average follow-up of 6 years.
