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…
The aim of our pilot intervention study is 1) to describe the effects of lactic acid-containing vaginal douching on the vaginal microbiota dynamics using novel molecular laboratory methods.2) to describe the effect of lactic acid-containing vaginal…
To measure intraprostatic concentrations and serum levels of fosfomycine after a single oral or intravenous dose prior to TURP. This is done to achieve more insight in whether fosfomycin is a suitable antibiotic to use as profylaxis or treatment of…
The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether FMT after antibiotic therapy is more effective than conventionalantibiotic therapy alone in patients with a first episode of CDI.
To estimate the incidence of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa ICU pneumonia, especially VAP, and to assess its association with patient-related and contextual factors, e.g. colonization status, serum antibody levels against S. aureus alpha toxin [AT],…
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…
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 objective:To determine whether endotoxin tolerance can be prevented by acetylsalicylic acid prophylaxis or can be reversed by acetylsalicylic acid treatment, expressed as an augmentation of pro-inflammatory cytokine levels during the second…
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 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 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…
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…
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 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-…
To determine the efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis after a tick bite in the Dutch setting, in relation to tick infection, tick engorgement and attachment time.
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 purpose of the study is to test whether a centre-wide policy of incremental antibiotic therapy will reduce arrhythmia device infection in patients undergoing arrhythmia device procedures compared to a policy of conventional antibiotic…
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…
Primary Objective: *To evaluate the immune responses 1 month after 3 doses of 13vPnC as measured by fold rises of serotype-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) in subjects *2 years of age. Secondary Objectives: *To…
