The main objective is to determine whether the administration of allogeneic serum micro eye drops using the mu-Drop device is non-inferior to the conventional sized drops in terms of effectiveness and safety.
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.
To assess the percentage of patients with at least one subtherapeutic infliximab trough serum concentration, being < 1 mg/l.To assess the percentage of patients positive for AIAs at a minimum of one timepoint.To assess the percentage of…
Development, optimization and implementation of retro-orbital fibroblast cultures in our laboratory.
Evaluation of the inflammatory reaction with NSAID and steroid prophylaxis.
To evaluate the usefulness of SELDI-tof (surface enhanced laser desorption/ ionisation-technology) technology in determination of disease-specific protein profiles of bacteria in vitreous of patients with endophthalmitis after cataract surgery.…
Primary Objective: Comparison of incidence of post-cataract extraction ocular inflammation with subconjunctival steroid injection versus traditional eye drops.Secondary Objective: Evaluation of usefulness of physostigmine following cataract surgery.
Research questions:What is the current prevalence of latex allergy among operating room employees from Erasmus Medical Centre, Rotterdam? Is the sensitisation prevalence significantly lower compared to the prevalence before introducing non powdered…
Testing the hypothesis that stromal reflectivity, assessed by confocal microscopy, is a reliable quantitative measure for the inflammatory process due to HSV keratitis.
The major goal of this study is to develop a systematic and stepwise approach for dry eyes. First, it will be evaluated whether Tes glasses are a diagnostic tool for dry eye diseases. Second, it will be evaluated or it can make a distinction between…
Systems biology is an interdisciplinary approach that systematically describes the complex interactions between all the parts in a biological system, with a view to elucidating new biological rules capable of predicting the behavior of the…
The primary goal of this study is to identify the presence and possible pathogenic role of auto-antibodies in scleritis patients. Secondary goals are to evaluate the presence and role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in scleritis and its…
