The objective of the study is to study the effect of Teripratide (rhPTH 1-34) on undercarboxylated osteocalcin levels, testosterone concentrations, glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in male subjects with primary osteoporosis.
The objective of the study is to investigate vertebral bone marrow fat fraction and bone mineral density during surgery induced weight loss.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of (repeated) cast immobilization on the bone strength of the lower leg in patients with diabetes mellitus. In this study, bone strength is examined by cortex thickness in millimeters and density…
The aim of this prospective cohort study is threefold: (1) for a better understanding of MTSS' underlying pathophysiology, (2) to assess the QU's reliability in healthy subjects and subjects with MTSS and (3) to assess the validity of QU…
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/…
The objective of this study is to investigate if use of ONO-5334 has a more positive effect on bone density and biochemical markers of bone turnover than Alendronate (a bisphosphonate) and placebo.
To investigate the differences in facial analysis, between patients with acromegaly, being in remission, and healthy subjects, and to investigate the changes in relational proportions between these facial structures.
To investigate whether bone mineral density is lower in apheresis donors than in blood donors.
To determine the incidence of vertebral fractures and exploring riscfactors in the geriatric outpatients.The effect of new vertebral fractures on daily activities, quality of life, reported falls.To explore the relation between frailty syndrome…
Is the radiological, histological and biomechanical condition of bone altered after long term bisphosphonate treatment in bone that is subjected to either compressive of distractive forces.
To study the inflammatory response (induration) to intracutaneous Candida albicans in healthy individuals, patients with diabetes without polyneuropathy, patients with diabetic polyneuropathy and patients with a history of Charcot neuro-…
The objective is to study the effect of beta-agonist and beta-antagonist treatment on human bone remodeling.

The proposed study is part of a larger KWF program proposal: the Alpe d*HuZes Cancer Rehabilitation Research Program (A-CaRe) coordinated by the EMGO Institute. The aim of the study is to evaluate the short- and long-term effectiveness of a combined…
The main objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of low BMD measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and quantitative ultrasonography (QUS) in Providentia (a residential care facility for persons with refractory epilepsy…
The general accepted Hueter-Volkmann law describes the inverse relation between compressive forces on the physis and the rate of physeal growth. So compression decreases and tension increases longitudinal growth. The observed deformities in patients…
