The present study is designed to test the hypothesis that new imaging modalities like PET with the use of HED and contrast enhanced CMR to quantify fibrosis size and heterogeneity of scar tissue can give a further risk stratification for ventricular…
1. To identify and specify bacteria by using RT-PCR on blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in preterm infants, having nosocomial sepsis and meningitis.2. To compare RT-PCR (see aim 1) with the gold standard bacterial culture in preterm infants,…
Aim of this prospective study is to determine (temporal changes in) the intestinal microbiota in faecal specimens and microbiota adhering to the intestinal mucosa using bacterial DNA-based profiling methods.
1. To determine the diagnostic accuracy, in terms of detecting a vascular malformation, of CTA, MRI/MRA, DSA, or combinations thereof in patients with ICH?2. To find out which test or combination of tests is most effective for the detection of…
The purpose of the project is a) to examine evidence-based instruments (DFSI, ASQ:(SE) and ITSEA) in the Netherlands in practices of midwives and within the system of health care and b) to gain more insight into the role of specific risk- and…
The purpose of the study is to define the accuracy of functional cine MRI detecting adhesions to the abdominal wall expressed in sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive value. In addition MRI findings of organ to organ…
The current study seeks to explore the SDOCT potential in a large group of patients in a clinical setting, and to compare it to existing, standard techniques.
Objective: Primary Objective is to evaluate implant stability of the TMC prosthesis. Secondary Objectives are to monitor improvement of function, pain scores and long term survivalship after TMC prosthesis implantation.
Evaluation of acute joint damage immediately after a joint bleed in patients with haemophilia, by use of a panel of state-of-the-art biomarkers of cartilage and bone turnover measured in blood and urine. The question that will be addressed is…
Validation of CT angiography and MRI protocols to identify the different components of the atherosclerotic plaque in the carotid arteries compared to and histology.
Objective:The aim of our study is to obtain a collection of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas that is well characterized for relevant clinical parameters, including follow-up.
1- to describe the presence and severity of hemiplegic CP on the basis of neonatal MRI findings and correlate the involvement of different structures (basal ganglia, posterior limb of the internal capsule and hemisphere) with the size of the lesion2…
Discrimination of probable AD patients from healthy volunteers by ZK 6032924 PET imaging as evaluated by visual analysis of the brain distribution patterns and by SUV values in probable AD patients as compared to healthy volunteers for brain imaging…
This study is performed to asses the effect of MECC system compared to CECC in patients undergoing aortic valve surgery on microemboli in the form of high intensity transient signals (HITS) detected by Transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography (TCD).…
Aim of this study is to investigate the natural course of early peripancreatic collections (i.e. acute fluid collections) in patients with predicted severe AP by CECT and by MRI.
1. To capture (true) arrhythmic episodes in patients after a major vascular surgery procedure.
In our opinion, CTCs could serve as a pharmacodynamic marker to monitor anti-cancer therapy in clinical trials. Encouraging results, that show that CTCs have pharmacodynamic properties, were recently found in a prospective trial in which CTC number…
The main goal of our proposal is to study the interaction between cognitive and emotional capacities in schizophrenia. In numerous studies patients with schizophrenia show impairments in all major cognitive domains (6) as well as impairments in the…
