Primary objective of this study is to assess changes in brain connectivity and activity in the Default Mode and Salience Network (hypothalamus, prefrontal cortex, nucleus accumbens, Ventral Tegmental Area) after different sugars and sweeteners.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between diet composition, meal timing, and meal frequency with cognitive performance in nurses during a night shift setting.Secondary objectives of this study are 1) to…
To describe the wound related complication rate in post-bariatric body contouring surgery patients who are treated according to a new guideline and assess the factors associated with a higher complication rate.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the accuracy of energy expenditure and resting heart rate measurement.Secondary objectives include assessment of accuracy of other measures like sleep duration, steps counting, activity recognition…
We will investigate the effect of the combination of moderate physical activity and a standard meal on the onset of low grade intestinal ischemia. Will will use the serological biomarker I-FABP to determine the occurrence of low grade intestinal…
To investigate the impact of (a disrupted) circadian rhythm on food preferences and chemosensory perception.
Aim of this pilot study is to determine which intervention groups are feasible in a larger trial which aims to a compare postoperative pain and complication rates in moderate versus deep neuromuscular blockade, and normal versus low intra-abdominal…
Hypotheses: - Ileal delivery of casein and/or sucrose induces stronger effects on satiation compared to placebo- Ileal delivery of casein induces stronger effects on satiation than ileal fat delivery- Ileal delivery of sucrose induces stronger…
To determine the effect of gastric bypass surgery on (alterations in) food preferences. Secondly, to assess the effect of gastric bypass surgery on the brain reward response when exposed to sight and smell of food stimuli with different sugar and…
The primary objective of this study is to assess if cannabinoids modulate sweet taste intensity and liking.
In this study, we want to investigate whether obese children perform differently than normal weight children (data already generated) on tasks of sensitivity to reward and executive functioning.
This study will form the basis for future studies that are planned to investigate chemosensory disturbances in elderly and testicular cancer patients who are undergoing cisplatin based chemotherapy within the University Medical Center Groningen.…
This study will be performed to evaluate the safety of the ACE stapler for the treatment of obesity. The secondary objective is to evaluate effectiveness of the ACE stapler for the treatment of obesity.
Hypotheses: - The five tastants (sour, sweet, salt, bitter and umami) each induce GI peptide release by human duodenal mucosa ex vivo. - The five tastants (sour, sweet, salt, bitter and umami) each induce GI peptide release by human ileal mucosa ex…
The goal of this study is to investigate the feasibility of distant, internet-based follow-up and monitoring of the weigth of 20 gastric bypass patients. Our research results will determine whether or not the use of the Youw8 weight scale is…
1. To determine the 10 year course and outcome of Anorexia Nervosa.2. To explore predictors of outcome in Anorexia Nervosa.
Human intestinal biopsies will be used to further develop an in vitro intestinal model. This model will the be used for future research to study the effect of nutreints and drugs on intestinal function. The human biopsies will be compared with…
The purpose of the proposed research is to investigate which patients may report less weight loss and worse quality of life in the first two years after a gastric bypass operation. Moreover, the proposed study will offer information why and when…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the tolerance of a new smoothie-style paediatric sip feed compared to a standard paediatric sip feed for a period of 6 weeks in children in need of oral nutritional support. The secondary objectives…
