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…
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 assess Bone Material Strength (BMS) in patients with acromegaly with fractures and without fractures.
Primary objective: Assessment of the value of the short-term (2 weeks) response of IGF-I (peak IGF-I SDS) to GH in a dosage of 1.4 mg/m2/day (as part of a dose-escalation IGF-I generation test) in comparison to baseline IGF-I to predict the 1 year…
The primary objective of this study is to assess the relation between the short term metabolic changes after start of rhGH therapy and the long term change in height SDS after one year of treatment. Secondly, we want to assess the effects of GH on…
To investigate if there are differences in serotonin transporters in the hypothalamus between subjects with hypopituitarism suspect for hypothalamic damage, subjects with hypopituitarism and no suspicion of hypothalamic damage and healthy age- and…
To study the effects of transient severe endogenous stress hormone exposure on the structure and functioning of brains circuitry regulating emotion, and the association with cognition and psychopathological symptoms.
To investigate if there is a correlation between the peak GH concentrations after ingestion of gelatin protein and the peak GH concentrations after the two standard tests (GHST) in order to discriminate between GHD and non-GHD. To investigate the…
We will evaluate the acute effects of GH on, and its relation with, cognition in healthy subjects. The present proposal focuses on the following questions:1. Does an acute rise of plasma GH levels have a (beneficial) effect on cognitive performance…
We aim to investigate thirst in the above mentioned patient groups, applying a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and, where ethically acceptable, a new thirst provocation test which we will develop in a group of healthy probands. Using these tools, we aim…
1) Follow-up study of project 2011_371:To determine whether the 27 children found in this study actually had a central hypothyroidism, by complementing the existing data with details from the medical records. The data used in the first study were…
To document cardiac function before and after treatment of CS.
Primary objectivesTo evaluate the prevalence, and incidence in yearly intervals, of pituitary insufficiency after cranial irradiation or total body irradiation at long-term follow-up. Secondary objectiveTo evaluate the impact of cranial irradiation…
Comparing the reliability of a dietary-protein test with conventional Growth Hormone Stimulation Tests.
To identify risk factors that might contribute to the development of post-traumatic HHD in children in order to reduce the lag-time between onset and diagnosis for future patients. To investigate the level of functioning and the quality of life of…
To determine whether hypothalamic response to glucose ingestion in patients with anorexia nervosa differs from that in healthy subjects.
(1) To establish the pharmacokinetic profile of clonidine following oral administration in children with suspected GH deficiency. (2) To relate the pharmacokinetics of clonidine to the observed expected (GH-response, cortisol response, depth and…
The aim of this study is to classify hyothalamic dysfunction in patients treated for pituitary tumors. The hypothalamic functions will be investigated in different studygroups, these groups each have a different risk on hypothalamic dysfunction.
Protocol 1: To determine whether pituitary dysfunction is present at intermediate duration of follow-up after traumatic brain injuryProtocol 2: To determine whether injury to brain tissue that explains traumatic brain injury-induced pituitary…
