With this study we aim to provide insight in the role of pulmonary RAS in the pathogenesis of ARDS in neonates and children. This study is performed in the context of a comparative study assessing the impact of age on the pulmonary RAS in ARDS. We…
Our hypothesis is that antibodies of COPD patients contribute to inflammatory processes leading to cell death, and that the level of cytotoxicity differs between COPD patients and healthy volunteers. The prime aim is to detect differences in…
We postulate that exhaled molecular profiling obtained from *breathprints* by electronic nose:1. Will discriminate eosinophilic asthma from non-eosinophilic asthma2. Is associated with individual biomarkers and specific proteomic profiles in induced…
Primary Objective: 1) To investigate if the intestinal permeability acutely increases during physical activity (submaximal cycle ergometry or ADL test) in clinically stable patients with moderate to severe COPD; 2) To investigate if the intestinal…
The aim of the current proposal is to investigate the effects of changes in lifestyle, food intake, physical activity and health related behavior during adolescence on development of asthma, allergy and other chronic diseases. Health outcomes that…
which particles can be found in induced sputum of construction workers? What is the composition, size and concentration of quartz particles measured in sputum of the different exposure groups?
Research questions:Is the chronic inflammatory response in COPD caused by a dysfunction of regulatory T cells?1. Is the number of Tregs decreased in COPD?2. Is the function of the Tregs impaired in COPD? And if so,a. Is this associated with a…
The aim of the extended follow-up of the PIAMA cohort is: To investigate changes during the ages of 8 to 11-12 years in lifestyle, nutrition, physical activity and health related attitude and behavior that are relevant to the development of asthma,…
Primary objective is to show the presence of endogenous ligands of TLR4 in the lung of patients being mechanically ventilated in a standardised way with clinical parameters. Secondary objective is to investigate the amount of endogenous ligands of…
The aim of this study is to access the effect of low and high VT (ml/kg) on pulmonary and systemic inflammatory responses and the release of oxygen and nitrogen free radicals in the paediatric patient with and without ALI.
The aims of the current study are to compare available tests for small airway function in asthmatic patients and to assess differences in small airway function between obese and non-obese asthmatic patients.
Trend analyses Of Patient-Specific respiratory Physiologal INteractions for weaning decision support
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the relation between, on the one hand, 1) the balance between the respiratory system mechanics and muscle dynamics, and 2) the balance between the pressure support level and respiratory drive,…
Our primary objective is to identify which intrinsic defect in Tregs is crucial for sarcoidosis pathology. To this end we will examine the genetic and functional properties of Tregs in the peripheral blood and at the site of disease, i.e. the lung…
The primary objectives are to study short-term changes in lung function, respiratory symptoms, bronchodilator medication use, and stress in association with short-term changes in woodsmoke exposures in adults suffering from asthma/COPD and healthy…
1. To compare the proinflammatory, profibrotic and osteogenic cytokine profile in BAL fluid between SSc patients without ILD, with limited ILD, and with extensive ILD.2. To compare the proinflammatory, profibrotic and osteogenic differentiation of…
Primary Objective: To identify the variability in the circulation of the number of patrolling monocytes and their expression of CX3CR1 obtained from adult ZZ-AATD patients compared to spouse controls.Secondary Objective(s): (1) To identify if low…
The aim of our study is to establish the long-term course of (recovery of) respiratory muscle strength and exercise capacity in patients who have received * 48 hours of mechanical ventilation and are discharged home.
to assess the pulmonary toxicity in patients treated with cyclophosphamide compared to a control group
The primary objective is to characterize the disease behavior of IPF and non-IPF ILD during the peri-diagnostic period.
The main objective of our Center for Translational Pediatric Pulmonology (CTPP) is to establish models of bronchial epithelial function in children, by (1) epithelial organoid cultures derived from bronchial epithelial cells; (2) bronchial brushings…
