Primary objective: To compare the NP microbiome composition and the presence of viruses in children hospitalized for a LRTI to the NP microbiome composition and the presence of viruses in healthy age- and gender-matched controls. Secondary…
The generic objective of the study is to explore associations between exposure to livestock farms and potential health effects. This study will focus on 1) respiratory health effects, 2) Livestock associated infections (zoonoses), 3) Carriage of…
To investigate the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) following major hepatic resection with or without VIO and to correlate the outcomes to the acute inflammatory response and clinical parameters for hepatocellular damage.
The aim of this study is to accelerate recovery after liver surgery by enhancing intestinal passage through the preoperative use of Movicol®.
Primary Objective: To compare the expression of inhibitory receptors SIRL-1 and LAIR-1 on blood neutrophils of patients under age 12 admitted with sepsis to the paediatric intensive care with healthy controls and intensive care patients without…
The objective of this observational pilot is the evaluation of incidence of HSMO- and HRMO-carriage, evaluation of oral and gut microbiota before, during and after hospitalization and evaluation of health status related to an ecological niche of…
are there differences in levels of IgE and sub-classes, TARC ,light chain IgG and titers against vaccins HiB and Tetanus between children who received as infant a formula with or without pre-biotics ?
Investigate the prevalence of rhinosinusitis and/or nasal polyps in adult patients with Cystic Fibrosis. Also several aspects of sinonasal disease are investigated; quality of life, correlation between phenotype and genotype, microbiology, anatomy…
To determine the choline levels of FNH, HCA and HCC using proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (expressed as parts per million).
This study will compare antibiotic prescribing levels for practices trained via the GRACE INTRO programme (a self directed web based learning package combined with patient booklets), with those not trained, and in addition will determine whether the…

We will examine the activation status of platelets, the content of platelet granules, and activation of de novo synthesis of mitogenic proteins during and after a partial liver resection in patients with a malign or benign tumor including distant…
Our primary hypothesis is that the process of nasopharyngeal and fecal colonization from birth to childhood differs in quality and quantity between infants with CF and healthy controls and that these differences are related to subsequent respiratory…
