Primary objective of the study is to record TIP inhalations on video at home to study the association between inhalation manoeuver and cough. Secondary objectives are: To study the inhalation maneuvers of patients using TIP in the home situation; to…
Primary Objective: The purpose of this pilot study is to determine cut offs for both Procalcitonin and MR-proADM in stable CF patients. These measurements will be compared with Procalcitonin and MR-proADM values in CF patients with a pulmonary…
Primary:To investigate the intravenous pharmacokinetics of [14C]-GSK2239633 in healthy male subjectsTo compare total radioactivity (drug-related material) in plasma relative to parent plasma concentrationTo determine total radioactivity (drug-…
We hypothesize that the new MRI protocol will be sensitive enough to detect a diagnostic change of >= 50% change from the normal shaped trachea. The primary objective of this study is to determine sensitivity, and specificity, of our MRI…
This study will investigate the feasibility of a hypoxic challaenge test (60 minutes duration). During this test the inspired air will have a oxygen content of 15%. This is a comparable value as is used during a commercial airline flight (ca 2500…
To determine the succes rate of the Nanoduct sweat test system.
To investigate in COPD whether: 1. systemic inflammation and multi-organ disease is more pronounced in more severe COPD2. quadriceps oxidative capacity and fiber type I proportion is reduced, and whether age, sex, smoking, physical activity, GOLD…
The study the influence of two different inhalationflow manoeuvres on the lungdeposition in patients with cystic fibrosis categorized to patientgroups varying in FEV1 longfunction value and age.
Primary Objective: To determine the prevalence of endo- and extranasal deformities, problems with nasal functioning and satisfaction with nasal appearance in patients with TCS.Secondary Objective: To adjust and improve the treatment of patients with…
Primary objective:To investigate the clinical response to treatment with curcumin and genistein in CF-patients with a class III S1251N mutation.. Secondary objectives:1.To evaluate the correlations between individual curcumin+genistein induced CFTR…
To determine the reliability and feasibility of the Nanoduct sweat test system compared to the gold standard tests QPIT and Macroduct.
• To define mediators involved in the early induction of COPD in susceptible smokers (and so to define new drug targets)• To develop new biological and clinical markers for the early diagnosis and monitoring of COPD• To characterize the switch to…
Evaluation of long-term complaints and problems on medical, surgical, psychological, social-emotional, conditional and motoric area in patients with one or multiple congenital malformations. More knowledge on long-term morbidity will lead to better…
1. To develop a method that lets us derive measures of air trapping and emphysema from static CT that are independent of inspiration level.In order to achieve this objective we need to:2. study the influence of inspirational level on the extent of…
Our research project aims to answer 3 key questions:1. How do MBW, spirometry and body-plethysmography outcomes compare in survivors of CDH?2. What is the relation between MBW outcomes in survivors of CDH and age?3. Are prognostic factors of the…
Identify the predicted best clinical responders and predicted low-responders (based on amount of organoid swelling) to new CFTR-modulators out of 500 unique patient-specific intestinal organoids screened for in-vitro drug efficacy. The 81 identified…
To validate our previous findings, and to continue and deepen our exploration of biomarkers in BALF, providing endpoints that correlate with disease progression. We will do this through in-depth cellular and molecular profiling of BALF and blood,…
The main objectives are to investigate the pharmacokinetic properties of DP tobramycin via the Cyclops® at different dosages in children with CF, together with the local tolerability.
Our main objective is to validate a MRI scan protocol for imaging parenchymal abnormalities in CPAM and describe the appearance of these abnormalities on MRI. Furthermore, we want to image postoperative changes in developing lungs of patients…
• To perform full kinetic modeling of [18F]F-AraG for the uptake in tumor lesions and healthy organs (e.g. spleen) by exploring different kinetic models and outcome measures as well as its test-retest (TRT) variability to guide the selection of an…
