The primary objective is to assess bone structure parameters and bone strength by high resolution peripheral quantitative CT evaluation (HRpQCT) and physical activity in relation with subsequent falls, fractures and mortality in patients with a…
Within WP6 of a EU Seventh Framework project, we will investigate associations between purinergic receptor SNPs and osteoporosis risk in humans. Genetic data from a fracture cohort in The Netherlands with high prevalence of osteoporosis will be…
The aim of this project is to determine the possible use of biomarkers for non or delayed union in long bone fractures of the diaphyseal femur and tibia.
The aim of this project is to determine the possible use of biomarkers for non- or delayed-union in fractures of the diaphyseal femur and tibia.
In the present study the prevalence of and risk factors for vitamin D deficiency will be determined in a patient population with a fracture in the upper or lower extremity.
The research is set up to investigate three primary questions.1. Is there a difference between bone resorbing capacity between postmenopausal women with a vertebral fracture and postmenopausal women without a vertebral fracture and high bone mineral…
This pilot study will be performed to investigate whether the cantharidin-induced blister method is a useful alternative for the vacuum blister method in patients with acute or chronic CRPS.Replacement of the vacuum blister method by the filter disc…
To collect data regarding the prevalence of:I) - osteoporosis in SCI patients and the relation to characteristics of SCI. - fractures in SCI patients and the relation to characteristics of SCI. - active treatment of osteoporosis in SCI patients.II…
Primary Objective: Our main goal is to contribute to the identification of an attentional profile of the paediatric TBI population, by analysing the quality and efficiency of alerting, orienting, executive and sustained attentional functioning. This…
Primary Objective: to identify risk factors and the underlying mechanism of AFFs by:- setting up a database with detailed information to define patients* characteristics.- building a biobank with urine and blood samples from these patients. -…
Primary objective:1. To assess functional outcome of patients with an osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures after one year of follow-up.Secondary objectives:1. To assess radiological deterioration of sagittal alignment during one year of…
The influence of the initial vitamin D status on the fracture consolidation will be studied. These study results might give rise to a randomised controles trial with vitamin D supplementation in order to investigate the effect of supplementation on…
Primary ObjectiveThis proposal concerns the inclusion of a peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) device in the Rotterdam Study to perform osteoporosis etiological research. Since 1990, the Rotterdam Study has performed research in the…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the added benefit of integrating genetic information and state-of-the-art phenotypic information (clinical measurements) of the musculoskeletal system in groups of patients with conditions presenting with or at…
