Hypotheses are that the long-term supervision of the CooL intervention will be related to beneficial changes in the participants¡¯ energy-balance related behaviours, body composition, and quality of life. Besides, the goal of the intervention is to…
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.
To determine the effect of a five-week vegetarian diet on innate immunity of patients with a recent myocardial infarction and healthy participants.
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…
To investigate the role of the immune system in the etiology and prognosis in an acute ischemic stroke (or TIA) in young stroke patients.
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…
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-…
The primary objective is to explore whether central sensitization and/or abnormal CPM responses are present in (a subgroup of) patients who will receive shoulder arthroplasty for osteoarthritis, and whether shoulder arthroplasty produces change in…
The main objective of this study is to determine whether tubal flushing with oil-based contrast during HSG results into more pregnancies leading to live births when compared to tubal flushing with ExEm-foam during HyFoSy, and whether this approach…
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…
Development of new imaging techniques for MR-guided motion management in the presence of respiratory motion
