To compare the performance and diagnostic accuracy of two EUS-guided tissue acquisition devices; a 25G Echotip Ultra Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) device and a new, more flexible, 20G Echotip ProCore Fine Needle Biopsy (FNB) device.
1. comparison between pre- and postoperative serum levels incretines and bile acids (after RYGB).2. comparison between S-RYGB and LBPL-RYGB with respect to incretines and bile acids.
The objective of this study is to assess whether oral exposure to beer and non-alcoholic beer elicits similar reward responses in the brain in a setting where only beer is expected. This knowledge will give fundamental insight in whether alcohol is…
Aim of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of the use of a low vacuum constant drainage system (Palin®) with a high vacuum closed suction drainage system (Medinorm S-400®) after chest wall masculinization in female-to-male transgenders.
To perform a pre-study to assess the feasibility of DE-MRI to assess lesion size, transmurality and completeness of pulmonary vein isolation. The study will be performed to determine if and how DE-MRI can be used in a larger subsequent multicentre…
The main objective is to gain insight into the temporal differences between the perceived sweetness and irritation of carbonated beverages with sucrose and/or Stevia. More specifically, objectives of part 1 of the study are:- To assess the overall…
Now that the ProTwin study has shown an important benefit of pessary use in woman with a short cervix in twin pregnancy, long term follow-up is needed to show that there is no potential harm in using a pessary for preterm delivery prevention. We…
Investigating the neural mechanisms underlying the intensity and pleasantness coding of flavours in healthy volunteers would provide 1) dissociation of the brain activity patterns related to flavour intensity and pleasantness and 2) insight into how…
1. To assess whether acute TRPV1 activation by capsaicin or ENaC down regulation by flavonoids modulate osmoregulation in healthy subjects2. To assess whether capsaicin and flavonoids affect blood pressure
The objectives of the study in chronic stroke patients are 1) to determine whether eccentric strength training is an effective strength training program, 2) whether upper-limb task oriented strength training improves upper limb function in the…
Primary Objective: To determine whether a tobacco product (cigarettes and roll-your-own tobacco) imparts a characterising flavour/odour.Secondary Objective: Do the characterising flavours/odours of the tobacco products as determined through panel…
The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the IntelliCap® system when used as a gastrointestinal fluid sampling device will be evaluated.Another primary aim is to evaluate the IntelliCap® system as a tool to study changes…
To evaluate different cryoenergy application times using absence of DC as a surrogate for permanent PV isolation to establish optimal duration for formation of contiguous lesions and prevention of right PNP and esophageal thermal lesions during…
Investigate whether different resection modalities such as MO or TL cause a different amount of shrinkage in the mucosal margins of resected OSCCs.
Primary Objective: The aim of this study is to determine a cut-off score at the PQ-16 with the CAARMS for better detection of adolescents 12-18 years at risk. Secondary Objective(s): To study the course of UHR in adolescents 12-18 years over a one…
To assess the optimal ablation duration using the second generation cryoballoon for isolation of pulmonary veins in the treatment of atrial fibrillation.
Determine which treatment is the most effective treatment in terms of lesion reduction, costs and patient satisfaction when comparing topical treatment with photodynamic therapy (PDT), 5% 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) cream, 5% Imiquimod (IMI) cream and…
