The goal of this research is to determine whether multi-unit microneurography can be a practically useful technique for recording human muscle-afferent signals, and to determine which fiber types are present in the recorded signal to and from the…
The aim of this study is determine the efficacy and safety of Metformin as a weight reducing drug in the euglykemic, obese paediatric population.
The aim of this study is to examine if an increased number of awakenings in PTSD is PTSD dependent or trauma dependent. Furthermore, the purpose of the study is to examine if the nocturnal excretion of cortisol is increased.
This study aims to gain insights in the pathogenesis of idiopathic orbital inflammation, with ultimately a directer and more effective therapy.
To measure the effectiveness of intrathecal methylprednisolone and lidocaine on reducing postherpetic neuralgia. Measurement of intrathecal methylprednisolone concentrations.
1.) First, we hypothesize that a reduction of myocardial damage explained by lower levels of myocardial damage markers (e.g. troponin I, CK-MB) by sevoflurane may be related to a reduction of inflammatory mediators (i.e. TNF-α, CD11b/CD18 cells, and…
Determine the ADAMTS-13 activity in patients with a history of TTP.
Primary objective: To confirm the safety of the use of Urocell as a treatment for stress incontinence due to intrinsic sphinctre deficiency.Secondary ojectives: - To score the quelity of life with a standardized questionnaire and to score the level…
1.) To determine the diagnostic value of a intra-articular injection with local anesthetics in the SIJ followed by RF SIJ denervation.2.) To determine the diagnostic value of a set of 5 SI provocation tests at examination, of with at least 3 are…
To optimize a safe five-day intensive intravenous insulin treatment post stroke and to assess glucose profiles in patients with stroke and HG on admission, receiving standard continues enteral tube feeding.
Our goal is to acquire a practical, maybe even clinically useful microneurographic technique. In this research project, we will investigate the usefulness of multi-unit microneurography for the research of human muscle mechanoreceptors, by answering…
The objective of the study is to explore the effects of EMG-triggered multi-channel electrostimulation on motor function of the arm after stroke.
Comparing the reliability of a dietary-protein test with conventional Growth Hormone Stimulation Tests.
Primary objective: to demonstrate that tezosentan, in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, reduces the incidence of clinically relevant right ventricular failure resulting in difficult separation from bypass or need for…
The objective of the study is to evaluate the general safety of ZOSTAVAX* in subjects >=60 years of age.
The primary objective is to investigate if there is an incremental inhibiting effect on MSNA by increasing dosage valsartan above the presently advised dosage. We hypothesize that there will be a further decrease in MSNA as compared to the MSNA…
1. To estimate the one-year prevalence of neck pain among military pilots and aircrew.2. To determine the flight related and individual risk factors associated with this prevalence.3. To asses the cervical range of motion, the ability to return the…
This research proposal tests the hypothesis that an early asthma diagnosis is possible by using non-invasive biomarkers of oxidative stress/airway inflammation in exhaled air, venous blood and assessments of lung function (airway resistance by means…
Objectives1. Are there differences in brain structures in bipolar twin pairs compared to their (healthy) co-twins and healthy control twin pairs?2. If there are changes in brain volume, will these changes differ across a 5 year interval between…
Cognitive processes and the development of psychopathology in children at risk for anxiety disorders
Goal of the study is to establish evidence on cognitive biases in a high risk population and on the longitudinal impact of such biases. We hypothesize that CPAD*s show biases in their information processing when compared to control children. We…
