To predict the risk of particular coronary plaques to cause myocardial infarction
The identification of axial SpA in the primary-care setting and the introduction of questionnaires that could optimize the pattern of referral to secondary care is one of the most important objectives of the CAFASPA-II study.
Primary Objective: To determine T cell response to Coxiella burnetii antigens using an ELISPOT interferon gamma release assay in patients with different clinical outcomes after acute Q fever
To propose a regional staging protocol, lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy, for patients with locally recurrent breast cancer in the absence of guidelines for regional staging procedures and to registrate data derived from this study.
Evaluation of I-FABP as diagnostic tool in mesenteric ischemia.
To compare oesophageal motility as well as refluxcharacteristics before and after endoscopic treatment of the Barrett segment, and to study differences between patients treated with SRER or BÂRRx.
To assess the influence of bloodpressure, wall thickness, wall properties, and geometry changes throughout the cardiac cycle on the wall stress calculations. Previous analysis were performed with an assumed bloodpressure value, an uniform wall…
the proposed study will examine the differences in flow-mediated vasodilatation of the brachial artery in depressed and non-depressed post-MI patients.
To investigate the clinical value of OptiVol (TM) impedance measurement by Medtronic(R) InSync Sentry(TM) ICD's. We aim to determine specificity and sensitivity for detecting heart failure. With collected data we want to design a protocol for…
