1. Immunology and Pathology:To determine the immune response of patients with simple and complex appendicitis in order to identify markers which distinguish between simple and complex appendicitis.2.Clinical and Imaging:To analyze the differences in…
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…
To identify predictive variables correlated with percentage excess weight loss, reversal of metabolic complications of obesity and quality of life and postoperative complications; to identify metabolic variables correlated with markers of the…
1) To investigate what changes are present in skeletal muscle tissue of elderly gastric and colonic cancer patients (>80) compared with younger gastric and colonic cancer patients (<60) and compared to elderly controls and younger…
In this pilot study experience will be obtained in diagnosing POCD and its risk factors, in elderly surgical cancer patients.
To define the exact effect of LSG with and without concomitant HH repair on the prevalence of GERD and GERD-related symptoms in obese patients who are intraoperatively diagnosed with a small HH. Furthermore, to examine the effect of LSG on the…
To investigate the feasibility and safety of a diet containing 30% caloric and 70% protein restriction given during five days in healthy kidney donors planned to undergo a live kidney donation as well as persons awaiting bariatric surgery.…
The aim of this monocenter observational pilot study is to determine the incidence and severity of gastric emptying disorders in patients with a hiatal hernia and to observe the effects of hiatal hernia repair and fundoplication on the gastric…
This study will be performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the EndoBarrier device for the treatment of obesity 3 years after surgery.
To investigate whether local inflammation in the area of the stomach and gastroenteric anastomosis is a cause of primary DGE.
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…
The primary objective to our study is assessing functional outcome, quality of life, and genetic mutations in patients with a cloacal malformation. Functional outcome:- Colorectal functiono Objective: assessing colorectal function through the use of…
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…
The primary objective of the study is to assess (acute) brain injury in the perioperative phase by cerebral MRI in infants with non-cardiac congenital anomalies requiring surgery in the neonatal period.
To determine if the microbiota inhabiting the small intestine in morbidly obese patients with T2DM is comparable to those without T2DM and, if not, what are the deviations and what is their impact
We propose to perform a pilot study to examine the feasibility of studying the triangular association between: 1) amino acid metabolism (influenced by, amongst other factors, diet composition [e.g. energy intake, macronutrient intake, individual…
To prospectively explore the feasibility safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, costs, and pharmacokinetic profile of repetitive ePIPAC-OX as a palliative monotherapy for isolated unresectable colorectal PM under controlled circumstances.
To assess PE rate and pouch characteristics in good and bad responders two years after LRYGB by MRI.
This pilot study aims to report on the diagnostic value of indocyanine green and fluorescence laparoscopy on vascularization defects of the stomach and spleen during antireflux surgery.It is our hypothesis that many splenic and gastric infarctions…
1. To determine the predictive value of frailty characteristics for loss of HRQL in elderly patients with non-metastatic CRC.2. To develop an AGE-CRC score, a prediction model for loss of HRQL in elderly patients with CRC based on comorbidity, risk…
