Main objective: To test the efficacy of thyroxine replacement for subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) in older adults. Primary Objective: To determine multi-modal effects (quality of life; cognitive; musculoskeletal and cardiovascular) of levo-…
Primary Objective: To compare the effects of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism on cardiac left ventricular function, as assessed by CMR, in subjects with differentiated thyroid cancer during their early treatment.Secondary Objective(s): To compare…
The effects of intravenous TRH administration on brown adipose tissue activity in healthy, lean men.
To investigate whether BAT tissue can be activated by intravenous administration of TRH. Secondary objectives are to determine whether intravenous TRH increases the degree of cardiovascular sympathetic stimulation and the response of skin…
Primary Objective: To characterize the long-term safety and tolerability of AMG 416 in the treatment of SHPT in subjects with CKD on hemodialysisSecondary Objective: To characterize the long-term efficacy of AMG 416 on intact parathyroid hormone (…
Firstly, to study the reduction in sick-leave time achieved by the treatment protocol. Secondly to study the quality of life in the patients treated in the fast-track protocol, to study the reduction in societal costs and to stdy the efficacy of a…
To determine whether the attenuated salivary cortisol response in children with asthma can be explained by the maintenance use of inhaled cortiocosteroids, the chronic inflammatory disease, or the attenuated exercise capacity.
The primary study objective is to assess the proportion of patients who remain within the IGF-I age adjusted normal limits with pasireotide LAR (60 mg) monotherapy, after 24 weeks of treatment.Secondary study objectives are assessment of the…
1) To perform gene mutation analysis in family members of patients carrying a proven mutation in the candidate gene.2) To determine the clinical, biochemical and radiological characteristics of carriers of a mutation in the candidate gene.3) To…
The aim of this study is to determine whether children between 5-17 years born to women with an autoimmune disorder and prednisone use during pregnancy have chronically elevated cortisol levels compared to children born to women with an autoimmune…
In this study we would like to investigate whether repetitive allogeneic (lean donor) fecal transplantations can reduce liversteatosis and if so which (small) intestinal bacteria cause this inflammation in the liver resulting in subsequent chronic…
Primary objective:We hypothesize that genetic variability influences mitotane pharmacokinetics. Therefore our aim is to explore the inter-individual differences in genes coding for drug metabolizing enzymes in patients treated with mitotane and to…
In view of this lack of evidence and strong practice variation we propose a randomized clinical trial in overweight and obese subfertile women, in which we compare the costs and effects of a six months structured lifestyle program, aimed at weight…
1) To study the late effects of 131-I treatment and TSH suppressive therapy as well as quality of life in patients with childhood-onset DTC. 2) To determine the presence of RET/PTC 1 and 3 translocations and BRAF mutations, and to investigate their…
First objective: To assess improvement in live birth rate after levothyroxine supplementation. Secondary objective: 1) to test the hypothesis that levothyroxine lowers the risk for miscarriage and preterm birth 2) to test the hypothesis that…
Primary objective1) To study the frequency of mutations in this gene in patients with central hypothyroidism and their first- and second-degree relativesSecondary objective: 2) To determine the clinical, biochemical and radiological consequences of…
To demonstrate differences in intracutaneous sodium storage between a control population, patients admitted after elective cardiothoracic surgery and septic patients.
To describe the treatment expectations of patients with a pituitary tumor undergoing treatment as well as patients' evaluation of the perioperative trajectory. Moreover, we will determine the fulfilment of expectations and clinical outcomes…
To assess the physiological effects of metformin and hypocaloric dieting on thyroid iodide uptake and thyroid function in healthy volunteers.
1. To explore the validity and usefulness of Bone Microindentation Technique (BMT) in the assessment of bone quality in patients with osteoporosis and a spectre of bone diseases characterised with (localised) increased bone turnover. 2. To study the…
To determine the sensitivity and specificity of salivary metanephrines and in patients with PCC/sPGL.
