We propose a 2-week randomized controlled, single-blinded pilot study to compare the health effects of a Paleolithic diet and an isocaloric reference diet (based on the *Guidelines for a healthy diet 2006*) on markers of the MetS which are risk…
The primary objective is to investigate if there are differences in the acute postprandial vasodilating effect between different protein sources and if these differences are associated with differences in the responses of vasodilating factors.…
The aim of this research is to improve the understanding of the coagulation system through a detailed characterization and quantification of biosynthesis and expression of several coagulation proteins in BOECs. The data obtained in the study will be…
1). Evaluate the expression of the genes encoding the enzymes that modify histones and DNA during monocyte differentiation in MS.2). Consequences of monocyte dysfunction for migration and cytokine/chemokine production.
The aim of the study is to investigate the changes in peritoneal endothelial glycocalyx in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), with the duration of peritoneal dialysis, and relate these changes to alterations in peritoneal transport and morphology.…
to evaluate if 4 hours of pressure bandage has the same effect as current practice (3 days of a Class II TEK stocking). The secondary objective is to study the hinder and quality of life for the patients
The primary objective is to investigate if a salt-reduced diet leads to an increased reward response when exposed to lower salt concentrations in food.
The objective of the present study is to investigate the course of psychosocial functioning in stroke patients and their partners, during the first 2 years post-stroke, to investigate factors predicting psychosocial functioning in stroke patients…
To assess intra- and interpatient variability of plasma Mg concentration before and after hemodialysis.
- To correlate clinical and biochemical cardiovascular risk factors to arterial wall 18-FDG uptake in large artery atherosclerotic lesions.- To correlate inflammatory markers to arterial wall 18-FDG uptake in large artery atherosclerotic lesions.
This study concerns a research that is aimed to investigate the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in a group of patients known with ANCA-associated vaculitis. Hereby we will compare the presence of the metabolic syndrome between an ANCA-…
In the past there has been little attention for quality of life, of which sexuality is an important part, in both scientific research and in clinical practice. Nowadays things are changing and talking and thinking about the sexual functioning and…
The objective of the current study is to determine whether cognitive, emotional, behavioural, and personality explain individual difference in fatigue symptomatology. Furthermore, this study wants to examine whether fatigue is a risk marker for…
The objective of this study is twofold. The first objective is to investigate the relative aerobic load during walking of people with a lower limb prosthesis. The second objective is to investigate the influence of balance control as a possible…
To examine whether a self-help psychological intervention program, based on relaxation, changing negative coping styles and finding new goals would be useful for people with PAD.
In the presented study we would like to investigate the genetic background of the AAA with a twofould objective, namely the possibility of presymptomatic diagnosis of the AAA and the definition of molecular mechanism as possible therapeutic targets.
The aim of this proposal is to investigate the potential use and value of experienced utility, as measured by the ESM and the DRM, in the economic evaluation of health care.Research question:1. What are the differences between the utilities measured…
Primary research question:To evaluate the impact of open versus endovascular invasive treatment in different types of surgery (AAA, CEA, LLR) on health status. Secondary research questions:To examine the prognostic impact of quality of life in PAD…
