DEfective HUman SAlivary gland stem cells: the cause of Primary Sjögren*s syndrome?
-DEHUSAPS study-
To assess whether salivary gland stem cell (SGCS) defects are key to salivary gland pathogenesis in pSS.
• To increase the sensitivity of the current MRI methods for detecting the changes caused by NPSLE through the scans made on the 7 Tesla scanner, since the higher field strength will lead to a higher signal to noise ratio and higher resolution. • To…
Are Alphabodies against IL23 effecive in the transplant model of psoriasis
The specific aim of the project is to determine the efficacy of Spherical Nucleic Acids (SNAs) on psoriasis skin biopsy gene expression in vitro.
Primary aim: Stepwise feasibility study to investigate whether intravenously administered macrophage tracers [11C]DPA-713, [18F]DPA-714 and/or [18F]PEG-folate accumulate in inflamed joints of rheumatoid arthritis patients using PET(-CT).Secondary…
The aim of this exploratory study is to compare the hemodynamic response as determined by the HandScan between patients with OA and RA, and to study these hemodynamic responses in relation to disease specific underlying joint pathology (synovial…
Determining the role of duplex ultrasound in patients with a clinical suspicion for temporal arteritis.Determing the sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value of duplex ultrasound in patients with a clinical…
-To determine the feasibility of detection of synovitis by photoacoustic imaging using three discrete wavelengths of pulsed light as an early indicator of the presence of RA.-To correlate the photoacoustic markers that are indicative for…
To determine the sensitivity and specificity of IRT to detect clinical active arthritis in hand-joints of patients with RA or PsA using clinical examination and ultrasonography as gold standard.
Specific objectives:* To analyse the predictive value of the presence of anti-ETaR, anti-AT1R and a reduction in capillary density, for the development of PAH in patients with SSc, alone and in combination.* To analyse whether anti-ETaR, anti-AT1R…
- To determine whether there is a mitigated immediate immune response to islet infusion in immunosuppressed recipients- To determine if complement activation during immediate immune response is affected in immunocompromised recipients
With this pilot feasibility study, the feasibility of and satisfaction with an eHealth and serious gaming training based on psychological expectancy mechanisms are evaluated.
Our primary objective is to identify de novo/rare mutations causative of MS using WES in members of multi-incident families. Our secondary objective is to describe phenotypes per family using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with family…
The purpose of this study is to investigate how quickly and to what extent PF-06650833 is absorbed, distributed, metabolized (broken down) and eliminated from the body (this is called pharmacokinetics). PF-06650833 is not registered as a drug, but…
Determine if there are immunological or patient characteristics in UC patients that predict the endoscopic response on Vedolizumab treatment.
Imaging disease activity in patients with Graves' orbitopathy using [18F]-FDG-PET/CT - a pilot study
To determine whether 18FGD-PET/CT imaging is able to show difference in [18F]-FDG uptake in orbital tissue between patients with active and inactive GO.
Primary Objectives: 1.1: To evaluate the feasibility of determining sensory thresholds in patients with JIA using QST.1.2: To examine which sensory modalities are particularly affected in JIA patients compared to healthy controls in order to define…
The objectives of this research study are to perform a biomarker development study for salivary pSS biomarker confirmation and panel building. The findings will be analyzed against SS diagnosis based on ACR criteria: Aim 1To test individual…
