Primary Objective: 1. To compare total testosterone levels between male CCH and ECH patients and healthy controls To compare total testosterone levels in males with ECH during remission (remission ECH) and during an active…
The aim of this current proposal is to compare test methods for determining TFS performance, to establish detection thresholds for both CI users and normal hearing subjects and to produce normative data for the computer model and machine learning…
Development of new imaging techniques for MR-guided motion management in the presence of respiratory motion
The aim of this project is to evaluate the clinical value of biomarkers in adult patients with pulmonary hypertension, in particular:1) To quantify biomarkers of neurohormonal activity as NTproBNP, endotheline-1 and of immunological activity as CRP…
1A) To implement a screening-protocol for HIV related co-morbidities and their risk factors, based on multidisciplinary expert consultation, in a large HIV outpatient clinic and among an HIV-uninfected control group.1B) To assess the prevalence and…
The primary objective of this study is to establish molecular profiles in lower rectal biopsies as close to the internal fistula orifice tissue and fistula scrapings based on single cell RNA sequencing, cellular protein expression by CyTOF and…
1. To study the possibility to detect gynaecological malignancies and endometriosis in vaginal self-swabs, Pap smears and blood of women with gynaecological cancer or endometriosis, using MeD-seq and MeD-scan assays, in order to develop…
Sample collection for in vitro research
Previous studies have shown that the origin of trained innate immunity lies in the bone marrow and is determined by epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. In this study, we investigate whether long-term…
The objective of this study is to further unravel the complexity of human milk and its variations over lactation stages and between individuals.
Primary objectives: - To examine how environmental exposures influence the prevalence, 5-year incidence and progression of cardiometabolic and chronic respiratory disease in the general population. - To determine the mediation effect of lifestyle…
To investigate whether high perceived stress is associated with inflammatory reprogramming of innate immune cells and their bone marrow progenitors, and with increased arterial wall inflammation, in subjects with an increased CVD risk.
In this study, we therefore aim to investigate how trained immunity is systemically regulated in kidney transplant patients and how the degree of trained immunity affects graft survival in patients. A better understanding of these processes…
Main objective: 1. Determine the feasibility, in terms of system fidelity and acceptability, of remote, image-based monitoring in cardiac surgery patients on a general ward. Secondary objectives: 1. The validity of remote, image-based heart- and…
The primary objective is to investigate if the stress-induced dynamics across stress systems are impaired in patients with CT-related depression compared to non-CT-related depression and healthy controls. The secondary objective is to examine how…
To evaluate whether we can determine the health status of the joint by measuring biomarker levels using a newly developed assay by the University of Twente based on the multiplex measurement of a panel of relevant biomarkers using Surface Plasmon…
To establish the test-retest reliability of the 13C-PBT for measuring Phe hydroxylation in patients with PKU.
The primary objective is to assess diagnostic accuracy of MRDTI/BTI for first and recurrent CVT in patients referred for MRI/MRV in the setting of routine clinical setting. The secondary objectives are to optimize MRDTI/BTI sequences for imaging…
The aim of this study is to determine if mindfulness-based early intervention reduces internalizing symptoms in help-seeking youth and prevents their development into (serious) psychiatric illnesses. In addition we will examine putative changes in…
To investigate the role of the immune system in the etiology and prognosis in an acute ischemic stroke (or TIA) in young stroke patients.
