The primary objective is to establish the point prevalence of Airflow Limitation (AL) compatible with COPD in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) seen in a single centre in the Netherlands.
Primary objective: To show that the variability of whole blood total and unbound plasma tacrolimus concentrations during the first 6 days post transplantation is larger than the variation of tacrolimus concentrations in stable clinical situation.…
The Activation of Coagulation and Inflammation in Trauma (ACIT) study is designed to identify the clinically significant mechanisms and pathways by which inflammation and coagulation are activated immediately following major trauma, and how these…

Clarify the effect of 5T polymorphism with or without another CF causing mutation on the other allele, on the CFTR function.
Research QuestionWhat is the long-term effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of self-management support via an internet based service in addition to usual care as compared to usual care alone in patients with COPD who have completed pulmonary…
The primary outcome measure will be comparison of improvement in endurance of a work rate initially eliciting exercise limitation after 6 minutes (calculated from the power-duration relationship before and after training). We will also compare…
Primary Objective: To identify new clinical phenotypes in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using a cluster analysis.Secondary Objectives: To:- identify clinical phenotypes (based on e.g. lung function parameters,…

Major objectives:- To determine the role of small airways abnormalities in the clinical manifestations of asthma;- To evaluate which (combination of) clinical methods best assesses the abnormalities of small airways and large airways disease in…
The purpose of this study is to compare the Metronome-Paced Hyperventilationtest (MPH) with cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in patients with COPD for detecting dynamic hyperinflation, thereby establishing the diagnostic accuracy for dynamic…
The study objective is to demonstrate the feasibility and safety (measured by the occurrence of serious adverse events) of the RejuvenAir System Radial Spray Cryotherapy in a population of subjects who are scheduled to undergo a planned lobectomy or…

To assess the prevalence of BHD among patients with spontaneous sporadic and familial pneumothorax.
* To define the characteristics of children with severe asthma and severe pre school wheeze in terms of clinical features, physiology and biomarker profiles and to compare these with patients with mild-moderate asthma and wheeze* To repeat the…
The aims of the current study are:1. Demonstrate that during noninvasive ventilation a patient with acute respiratory failure is in better synchrony with the ventilator during NAVA compared to PSV mode.2. Demonstrate that the Servo-i ventilator is…
Primary objective: To assess the efficacy of reducing the sleep time in supine posture with positional therapy using the position training device compared to the sleep position band in patients with mild and moderate positional OSAS.Secondary…
