Primary Objective: To gain more insight in the genetic susceptibility for AIH. For this we will study the presence of candidate genes in AIH patients, study genetic similarities with other auto-immune diseases and perform a whole genome association…
Primary objective: To study the faesibility of SLNM in patients with histological proven colon cancer using NIR-laparoscopy.Secondary objectives: To study the incidence of micrometastasis with the use of ICG and RT-PCRTo determine the number of…
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.
Aims:a) Understand persistence and/or plasticity of the brain correlatesb) Understand specificity of the brain correlatesQuestions:a) Which neural correlates of OCD are state dependent and thus normalized after successful treatment?b) Which neural…
1. To evaluate and compare the impact of hysteroscopic Essure® intratubal device placement and laparoscopic salpingectomy on IVF-ET outcomes of patients with hydrosalpinx.2. It is still uncertain whether laparoscopic salpingectomy for hydrosalpinx…
This project aims to understand the symptomatology PD in the light of functional brain interactions, in the hope of elucidating the role of the frontal striatal system to behaviour.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an activity stimulation program on performance of mobility and lifestyle in children with cerebral palsy, in comparison with regular paediatric physiotherapy.
The overall aim of the present work is to evaluate the individual role of androgens and estrogens on brain function in the human with a focus on cognition. Both clinical models give us the opportunity to evaluate cognitive functions and brain…
The focus of this study is to get more insight in the pathophysiology of IUGR. The main goal is to investigate the applicability of STIC in determining fetal cardiac function in IUGR.
To evaluate and compare progression free survival (PSA) between the two treatment arms.
1. To identify and specify bacteria by using RT-PCR on blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in preterm infants, having nosocomial sepsis and meningitis.2. To compare RT-PCR (see aim 1) with the gold standard bacterial culture in preterm infants,…
Aim of this prospective study is to determine (temporal changes in) the intestinal microbiota in faecal specimens and microbiota adhering to the intestinal mucosa using bacterial DNA-based profiling methods.
to evaluate the role of thoracic irradiation in patients with ED-SCLC who respond to chemotherapy and to assess the effect on 1 year survival
The main objective of this study is to increase current insights into the role of auditory and cognitive factors in the reduced ability to understand speech in noisy environment, particularly for hearing impaired people. These insights will help to…
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, save method to stimulate the cerebral cortex and thereby alter neuronal function. In TMS a coil, which delivers brief magnetic pulses is placed adjacent to the scalp. The magnetic field…
1. Does mPAT directly impair vasoreactivity to insulin and acetylcholine ex vivo in arterioles obtained from muscle biopsy in lean and obese individuals?2. Is obesity in humans associated with the accumulation of mPAT and an inflammatory mPAT…
Do trauma cues trigger more craving in individuals with substance dependency and PTSD in comparison with substance dependent individuals without PTSD? If so, is this effect trauma-specific or are SUD-patients with PTSD more sensitive to general…
We will investigate the feasibility of using STIC technology to evaluate the normal fetal cardiac anatomy and morphology in different stages of gestation. Further we aim at making normograms of different intracardiac parameters in relation to…
The key objectives of this study are:1. To determine by means of IENFD whether the PNS is involved in patients with autonomic complaints in MS. The obtained IENFD values will be compared with the age and gender matched healthy normative data,…
1. To evaluate the clinical usefulness of STIC with post-process rendering capability. Our goal is to investigate whether STIC gives more accurate information about a suspected cardiac anomaly, compared to conventional 2D ultracardiography.2. To…
