The main objective of this study is to assess whether ICD therapy in dialysis patients reduces sudden (arrhythmogenic) cardiac death. The first secondary end point is to compare total mortality death between the two groups. An other is to evaluate…
The next questions will be addressed in the present study: 1. Do moderately preterm infants differ in development and attention and concentration capacities from a term and very preterm infants during the first years of life? 2. Do attention and…
To study sensory processing and hyperexcitability in children with ASD and epilepsy using neurophysiological measurements (EEG/ERP).
Dissection of etiology of myopia- identification of genetic risk factors- identification of environmental risk factors- evaluation of the long term safety of Artisan phakic intraocular lenses for the correction of high degree myopia
The main objective of the panel study is to evaluate the associations between short-term variation of concentrations of key air pollutants (NO2, PM2.5, PM10, and ultrafine particles), measured on a fine spatial and temporal resolution, and short-…
(1) To determine frequency of antibody-mediated encephalopathy in adults with new-onset epilepsy/status epilepticus or chronic epilepsy. (2) To assess outcome of antibody-mediated encephalopathy in adults with epilepsy, and identify markers for good…
The aim of this project is to determine the possible use of biomarkers for non or delayed union in long bone fractures of the diaphyseal femur and tibia.
1) To compare (long-term) results of patients treated for Calcific Tendonitis with barbotage, versus patients treated for Calcific Tendonitis with other conservative standard-treatments2) An analysis of group characteristics and risk factors for CaT…
Optimization of a recently developed 3T MRI protocol for imaging of the coronary and aortic vessel wall.
- To investigate whether increased arm moment loading (with a constant exerted abduction force) in healthy controls leads to a relatively larger increase in deltoid muscle activation as compared to increase in supraspinatus muscle activation.- To…
1. Do body fatness and/or body fat distribution show a linear association withmicrovascular function in normal as well as IGT subjects?2. Is the effect of body composition on the microvasculature mediated by alteredadipokine profile, low-grade…
The primary objective of this study is to identify mutations associated with the development of a bicuspid aortic valve. To this end the study will focus on genes important for aortic valve formation. As an extension of the primary objective, a…
The aim of this study is to identify risk factors for various CVDs, i.e. to quantify separate and joint effects of radiation dose to the heart, anthracycline dose, other CT, life style factors, established CVD risk factors and genetic susceptibility…
We intend to study the role of fronto-striatal circuitry and cognitive control in the inflexible behaviour that is a defining feature of autism.
We intend to study the effect of trastuzumab on the cardiac neuronal activity in patients with HER-2 positive breast cancer by using iodine-123 meta-iodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) and cardiac imaging. 123I-MIBG, an analogue of the false…
To identify human genetic variants that influence susceptibility or resistance to HIV infection
The aim of this study is to evaluate whether there is a correlation between the sbN2-test, markers in exhaled air and the inflammatory cells in the small airways.
The objectives of this study are to gain new insights on [1] the cause of a higher clopidogrel resistance in DMII patients[2] the increased production of tissue factor in monocytes in DMII patients
The aim of this study is to investigate whether exercise changes FVIII levels in patients with moderate and mild haemophilia.
The objective of the study is to investigate the change in β2-AR-stimulated lipolysis with weight loss and its association with changes in adipose tissue hypoxia and/or oxidative stress.
