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 find new genes causing congenital MPHD associated with the characteristic MRI abnormalities of ectopic posterior pituitary gland and absent/thin pituitary stalk.
To determine the incidence of hypopituitarism in patients after SAHTo identify neurological parameters that predict hypopituitarism after SAHTo determine the value of a Ghrelin test shortly after SAH, to identify subjects with GHD.To determine the…
1. Are there differences between patients and controls in circadian movement rhythmicity and sleep duration?2. Are these objective measures associated with subjective sleep complaints?3. Are these objective measures associated with decreased quality…
To understand, from the perspective of the 3-hit hypothesis of psychopathology, individual differences in the neuropsychiatric outcome of previous glucocorticoid (GC) excess in treated Cushing patients.
To assess the presence of GH deficiency in patients who are in long-term remission of Cushing*s syndrome due to adrenal adenoma.
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 the differences in facial analysis, between patients with acromegaly, being in remission, and healthy subjects, and to investigate the changes in relational proportions between these facial structures.
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…
The main objective of the study is to evaluate differences in body size, body composition and metabolic health at 7 years between children fed postdischarge formula and term formula. Secondary objectives are differences in bone mineralization and…
To describe the differences in macrophage infiltration and mRNA expression of adipocytokines in subcutaneous, omental and perirenal fat tissue in Cushing's syndrome compared to healthy controls.
The objective of the current proposal is to further explore the pathophysiological changes that occur in patient with an IGSF1 mutation, using an established method for assessing hormone secretory characteristics.
Our main aim is to describe the 24-h circadian rhythm of skin and core body temperature in people with SCI and examine whether changes in melatonin and/or cortisol relate to the altered circadian rhythm in core body temperature recently described in…
Do high plasma free fatty acids lower central serotonergic responsivity?
The primary objective is to study the effects of GH substitution therapy in adult GH deficient survivors of childhood cancer. Primary endpoints are organ size, renal function and capillary density of the skin.
ObjectiveTo assess the prevalence of PHD and chronic fatigue in Dutch TBI patients, and to study the relationships between the various aspects of chronic fatigue and PHD, with particular emphasis on the association between chronic fatigue, and…
Hypothesis:1. Patients who suffer from a hypopituitarism and an adult-onset growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) express more atherosclerotic disease in the coronary system (compared with a historically formed control subjects, present as a database in…
Does bilateral deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in patients with Parkinson's disease influence plasma triglycerides and glucose metabolism?
