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…
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…
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 the THRIVE study is to examine two objectives: 1. What are the mechanisms through which friendships aid resilience?a. Does friendship support relate to reduced neural stress responses in young adults with CA?b. Does friendship…
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 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 establish the test-retest reliability of the 13C-PBT for measuring Phe hydroxylation in patients with PKU.
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…
The aim of this research proposal is to examine the effect of different ISIs on mTc-MEPs.Primary research question: What is the effect of different interstimulus intervals (ISIs) on mTc-MEP thresholds, peak-to-peak amplitudes, and area under the…
The primary objective of this cohort study is to determine the prevalence of simple and progressed NAFLD in subjects at risk followed by the general practitioner The secondary objectives are:1. To study the factors linked to the development of…
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…
Sample collection for in vitro research
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.
To study the kinetics of the vaccine-induced antibody response against HPV16/18 after a two-dose schedule by measuring these antibody responses at approximately 7, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108 and 120 months following the first dose of HPV-…
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.
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…
Objective 1: To improve the understanding of the dynamic phenotypic spectrum and the disease mechanisms of HD by:a. collecting natural history data covering the cognitive, behavioral and motor domains permitting estimates of rates of progression in…
The primary objective of this study is to build a predictive model in which we can identify which (pheno) type of ALS patients has the most benefit from NIV in improving or maintaining quality of life.
To examine the prevalence, risk factors and mechanisms of impaired health outcomes (short- and long-term medical and psychosocial effects and late effects) over time among a population-based sample of AYA cancer patients.Primary Objective: - To…
