The aim of this study is to identify Galectin-1 and -3 as possible biomarkers in capsular contracture. Moreover, we plan to investigate whether HLA-typing and IgE levels in subjects can be used to predict the chance of development of capsular…
1. To get new insights in the pathophysiology of PPS by comparing tissue characteristics (histology) of the pericardium in patients with and without PPS. 2. To identify biomarkers that are associated with PPS by collecting 4 blood- and 1 pericardial…
To study the effect of a nerve block of the infrapatellar nerve with local infiltration with lidocaine or saline on chronic anterior knee pain after tibial nailing.Secondairy objectives:- to measure knee pain on a VAS for eight different activities…
We are performing a large randomised trial of *deep* versus *light* anaesthesia to definitively answer the question of whether anaesthetic depth alters perioperative outcome. Elderly patients undergoing major surgery will be randomised to an…
The primary objective is to investigate the determinants of aortic root deformation occurring >= 3 months after successful ASO implantation in adult patients with an atrial septal defect.
In this study one of the goals is to compare 7 tesla MRI with 3 tesla MRI in terms of lesion detection in epilepsy patients and depiction of specific dysplasia-related imaging characteristics. Furthermore, resected tissue will be scanned ex-vivo at…
1. Identification of gene(s) causing RS. 2. Understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms leading to the various manifestations of RS.3. Enabling molecular diagnostics for RS.
The purpose of this study is to make it possible to make a prediction of risk of amputation stump wound healing without the need for re-intervention and whether a secondary amputation.
To investigate the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) following major hepatic resection with or without VIO and to correlate the outcomes to the acute inflammatory response and clinical parameters for hepatocellular damage.
Does salpingectomy during a hysterectomy cause POF? Secundary: what is the incidence of premalignant changes within Fallopian tubes of women without a hereditary high risk to develop serous carcinoma?
- To determine the effects of the pacing site on prevention of AF episodes - To examine the relation between the pacing site, reduction of AF episodes, quality of life, heart failure, number of cardioversions, frequency and duration of hospital…
The primary objective is to study the effects of the inflammatory response to a surgical procedure on postoperative cognitive decline in elderly cancer patients and to compare this to the effects of the inflammatory response on postoperative…
RESEARCH QUESTIONS* Is the currently used RNAF protocol for the acute medical care on the Battlefield sufficient.* What recommendation can be made to enhance this protocol, with emphasis on the transfer of information from battle field to second…
To directly evaluate the gastric tube microcirculation with Dark Sidestream imaging during minimal invasive esophageal resection on several locations, i.e. from best arterial blood supply (antrum) to worst (fundus). Furthermore, to evaluate the…
In this study the effect of the pneumoperitoneum on the intestine of children is objectified by measuring the iFABP levels in the urine, as an indicator for the ischemia or damage to the intestine. To exclude any iFABP increase due to intestinal…
