What is the prevalence of gastro-intestinal disorders and which are the determinants?
The primary objective of the study is to compare gut permeability in metabolic healthier and metabolic unhealthier subjects by performing a MS permeability test. The secondary objectives are to study the correlation between gut permeability assessed…
In this study the effect of the pneumoperitoneum on the intestine of children is objectified by measuring the iFABP levels in the urine, as an indicator for the ischemia or damage to the intestine. To exclude any iFABP increase due to intestinal…
To assess the relationship between postprandial symptoms and gastric emptying rate. The caloric intake and caloric gastric emptying rate in the pathogenesis of postprandial symptoms after sleeve gastrectomy will also be taken into account

The primary objective of the present study is to investigate if the intestinal permeability is increased in patients with an acute COPD exacerbation. To investigate this objective, the following research question have been formulated:- Is intestinal…
Gain insight into the mechanism underlying enhanced gastric mechanoperception and duodenal chemoperception, by comparing duodenal mRNA expression of genes and plasma and duodenal mucosal concentrations of proteins, involved in the chylomicron-apoA-…
Primary Objective: To assess the differences between lean and obese subjects in tissue PYY and GLP-1 levels and gene activity, and in L-cellular secretion before and directly after nutrient exposure. Secondary Objective: To correlate these…
Gain insight into the mechanism underlying enhanced mechanoperception of the stomach and duodenal chemoperception in response to fat in patients with functional dyspepsia.
(1) To assess parent-child attachment and interaction in a cohort of children and adolescents known with IF and (a history of) home PN dependence, and (2) to assess cognitive development and social-emotional functioning in these children.
The aim of this study is to assess prospectively the critical period prior to the development of ACLF (1), to uncover mechanistic and pathophysiological processes associated with the development and clinical course of ACLF (2) and to identify the…
