The main objective is to investigate the additional value of CRP-POCT (C-reactive protein point-of-care-test) testing in patients suspected of airway infections in long-term care facilities.
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.
Primary Objectives: To evaluate whether early, pre-hospital administration of antibiotics reduces 28-day mortality in patients referred to the ED with suspected severe sepsis or septic shock.Secondary Objective(s): 1. To compare whether there is a…
Primary Objective: Assess the incidence of wound infections in patients treated with venous stenting and AV fistula and Prevena negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT).Secondary Objective(s): Assess the incidence of lymph leakage in patients treated…
To identify the most effective and safe long-term S. aureus carriage decolonization strategy in HPN patients. Ultimately this willlead to less antimicrobial resistance, less catheter removals and lower mortality rates. Also, other chronic…
To investigate whether the current dosing regimen of ciprofloxacin, recommended by the Dutch *Stichting Werkgroep Antibioticabeleid* (SWAB) and applied at the Academic Medical Center for patients with various degrees of renal function admitted at…
To estimate the risk of Q fever infection in children and adolescents in various exposure groups, estimate the true regional incidence of Q fever infections in children and adolescents, identify associated risk factors, and assess the impact of Q…
The aim of this study is to determine whether Staphylococcus aureus colonizes the human throat and the perineal area independent of the nose.
To determine the effectiveness and, subsequently, the cost-effectiveness of a endoscopic transluminal step-up approach (ETD & ETN) versus a surgical step-up approach (PCD & VARD ,if not possible laparotomy) to improve clinical…
The aim of this research is to contribute to the understanding of the pathophysiology of severe infections, and subsequently providee relevant new insights in the development of new treatment modalities. In the present research proposal we would…
Primary objective: To determine the safety of once daily inhalation of the recommended daily dose of tobramycin with the Akita® and the PARI-LC® Plus nebulizer in patients with CF. Systemic absorption can be used as surrogate parameter for safety.…
Primairy objectivesTo study the pharmacokinetics (plasma and cerebrospinal fluid) of meropenem in infants <= 90 days of postnatal age with probable or confirmed bacterial meningitis (BM); To describe the safety profile of meropenem in the…
The assessment of the duration of the cellular immunity to Bordetella pertussis after an extra ACV booster and the relationship between the memory B- cells and antibody responses. The methods used in the study are:B- and T- cell memory responses and…
Primary objective: To investigate whether pharmacokinetics of the recommended dose of inhaled tobramycin, defined as serum tobramycin Area Under the Curve (AUC0-24hr), with the I-neb (75 mg) is equivalent to the PariLCPlus (300 mg) nebuliser in…
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…
First, to explore relationships between immunological factors (cytokines and chemokines), psychological stress, and pain, controlled for infection. Second, to explore relationships between immunological factors (MBL), bacterial colonisation and…
The main purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate age (10, 12 or 15 years) for a second MenC conjugate (MenCC) vaccine immunization in Dutch children that received a primary MenCC vaccination at a young age. A conclusion will be based…
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 piperacillin concentrations during continuous dosing of P/T in critically ill patients; to determine PK variables, e.g. creatinine clearance, leading to a predictive mathematical model enabling TDM and ideally establishing better a priori…
To compare the number of responders to vaccination with pneumococcal and conjugated Hib vaccine at different time points after last dose of rituximab, to investigate what the ideal moment of vaccination would be. Secondly to study the immune-…
