To determine the frequency of MBL and FCN SNPs in patients with a history of a proven gram-positive bacteremia, compared to patients without such history. A secondary objective is to determine whether extracorporeal circuits, used in cardiothoracic…
To assess clinical parameters and biomarkers in blood and urine in predicting bacteremia, need for hospital admission, clinical and bacteriologic cure and mortality in patients with fUTI.To determine whether a 7-day duration of antibiotic treatment…
The overall aim of our study is to evaluate the management of suspected uncomplicated UTI in women presenting in primary care through use of a novel point of care test (POCT, Flexicult). This study is being carried out in 4 European networks: Wales…
This study's major aim is to determine whether a relation can be found between specific penile HPV types and the presence, quantity and size of flat penile lesions. Secondly, other possible determinants, such as HIV status, circumcision status…
Investigate the incidence and severity of early coagulopathy in severe sepsis and septic shock patients and investigate the correlation between these coagulation disturbances and the incidence and severity of microvascular changes.
The primary objective of this study is to explore if (and which) HIV-specific CTL responses shorten the lifespan of productively infected cells in HIV-infected individuals. This will be accomplished by investigating the estimated life spans of…
The aim of this study is to determine whether the presence and the extent of periodontitis are independently related to the presence and extent of coronary calcification.To determine if periodontal treatment has an positive effect on the…
In this exploratory pilot study, we aim to investigate the role of immune activation in osteoporosis in HIV-infected patients on HAART with proven osteoporosis/ osteopenia in comparison to HIV-infected patients on HAART without osteoporosis/…
1. Determine the relationship between periodontitis and HIV-related immune activation and hypercoagulability.2. Explore the role of oral microbiota as effect modificator of the relationship between periodontitis and immune activation in HIV-infected…
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…
Objective of the study is to quantify the microbiological etiology in immunocompromised patients, at least 18 years of age, with CAP needing hospitalization. And to determine the severity, antibiotic use and outcome of CAP in immunocompromised…
determine the effect of cold exposure on influenza induced immune responses
The primary objective of the study is to assess the function and effect of deiodinase type 3 in PMN*s and the mechanisms behind its induction following activation of these cells.
ALICE is a randomised controlled trial in Primary Care that aims to determine whether adding antiviral treatment to best usual primary care is effective in reducing time to return to usual daily activity and so the clinical and cost effectiveness of…
More knowledge on immunity to VZV in these patient groups is necessary to be able to design preventive strategies to VZV infections in the future. To reach these goals, the proposed study is divided into two parts. The first part aims to determine…
To gain insight in clinical, virological and immunological mechanisms and predictors of the eradication of HIV. To gain insight in the dynamics of the T cell HIV reservoir in which HIV is persisting. To gain insight in different levels of immune…
To study a cohort of HIV infected and HIV uninfected MSM and HIV infected heterosexuals who (subsequently) acquired HCV infection with a known date of HCV seroconversion:1. To identify the frequency, clinical consequences and determinants (viral and…
1. Evaluation of neurocgnitive functioning in children with HIV in comparison with healthy siblings using questionnaires.2. Qualitative analysis of different determinants that play a role in school participation in children with HIV using interviews…
To investigate the pathophysiological link between RA and PD, and test the efficacy of RvE1 treatment in gingival tissue biopsies of RA-PD and RA risk-PD patients ex vivo.
To characterize the interaction between the gut microbiome, related metabolites, immune function, and perceived complaints in QFS-patients, CFS-patients, and healthy individuals.
