Primary Objective: To compare the effects of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism on cardiac left ventricular function, as assessed by CMR, in subjects with differentiated thyroid cancer during their early treatment.Secondary Objective(s): To compare…
1) To study the late effects of 131-I treatment and TSH suppressive therapy as well as quality of life in patients with childhood-onset DTC. 2) To determine the presence of RET/PTC 1 and 3 translocations and BRAF mutations, and to investigate their…
1. Normalization of the abnormal serum TH parameters and thereby improving the clinical condition of the AHDS patients2. Observation of changes in cognitive and motor function.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the function and effect of deiodinase type 3 in PMN*s and the mechanisms behind its induction following activation of these cells.
Imaging disease activity in patients with Graves' orbitopathy using [18F]-FDG-PET/CT - a pilot study
To determine whether 18FGD-PET/CT imaging is able to show difference in [18F]-FDG uptake in orbital tissue between patients with active and inactive GO.
The study aims to determine the value of combined 124I PET and FDG PET to avoid futile treatment with 131I. Secundary aims are to validate functional imaging with histopathological correlation, and to optimize and standardize the new 124I technique…
To study the extent of impaired urinary concentrating ability in hypothyroidism as well as the pathophysiological mechanisms involved before and after adequate treatment.
The family with the TRα2 premature stop enables us to investigate the biological role of the orphan wild-type TRα2 and the consequences of its dysfunction. The primary objectives of this proposal are (i) to search for a biological function of TRα2…
To find out if the mean thyroid volumes of healthy 10-12 and 17-18 years old Dutch children and adolescents are the same or larger than in the late nineteen nineties, and if the dietary iodine intake of these children and adolescents has decreased…
Primary Objectives 1. To assess whether radioiodine therapy results in hyposalivation, altered saliva composition and xerostomia in DTC patients.2. To assess whether the extent of radioiodine uptake on the pre- and post-therapy WBS and SPECT/CT is…
To assess the changes in cardiac function and the microcirculatory function in different thyroid states. We aim to identify how thyroid state affects changes in micro and macro hemodynamics.
To determine that rhTSH pretretament during euthyroidism ( already available in an number of centra in the Netherlands) in a adequately powered study is as good as the classical way of inducing hypothyrodism by withholding suppletion which induces…
Immunodetection of Thyrothrophin (TSH) receptor in myometrium tissue.Furtermore the aim is to test myometrium tissue in vitro for it's relaxation and contractility and it's conductance of electropotentials.
Main objectiveTo describe the experienced pain sensations of temperature and to describe the different temperature sensitivity thresholds using Quantitative Sensory Test (QST) in the different patient groups.secondairy objectiveAs a measure of the…
The aim of this study is to investigate how often thymic hyperplasia is present in Graves' disease. Moreover we will investigate if thymic hyperplasia in Graves' disease is caused by stimulation of T cell development in the thymus.
Our goal is to evaluate if this onsite assessment and aspiration during punction reduces inadequacy of specimens and see if onsite assessment by the aspirator is performed accurately after a brief instruction by a cytopathologist. Primary Objective…
The primary objective of this study is to assess the objective response rates (ORR) for two starting doses of vandetanib, 150 mg and 300 mg in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic MTC having progressive or symptomatic disease.…
To study the effect of thyroid hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone on brown adipose tissue activity.
Therefore, we aim to investigate in a pilot trial the effect of SOM230 on predefined endpoints in patients with moderate to severe GO whom have contraindications for prednisolone therapy or decline from prednisolone therapy for other reasons.
The aim of our study is to investigate whether PTH levels measured between 4-24 hours after surgery can accurately identify patients with permanent hypoparathyroidism after thyroid surgery who need long-term calcium supplementation.
