The general objective of the Doetinchem Cohort Study is to contribute to the answering of public health questions, now and in the future, by providing basic data on developments in lifestyle and health problems in the general Dutch population.
The present study will examine how young-onset-dementia patients and their families can be supported in their home environment as long as possible and institutionalisation can be delayed. For this the functioning and care needs of young-onset-…
The main objective of the current study is to search for biomarkers, which will be investigated with their predictive value with respect to the course of COPD in lungfunction, exacerbations, health care use and mortality. The effects of the…
Study 1: The purpose of this study is to gain more insight in the characteristics that are related to vascular damage at a young age, and particularly to detect if obesity is related to vascular damage (and thus the risk of cardiovascular disease in…
Describe the relation between patterns in biomarkers of vascular inflammation, plaque instability and hypercoagulability and the incidence of recurrent ACS
The main objective of this study is to assess whether ICD therapy in dialysis patients reduces sudden (arrhythmogenic) cardiac death. The first secondary end point is to compare total mortality death between the two groups. An other is to evaluate…
Actualize, replicate and extend the data of NEMESIS-1 with regard to the prevalence, incidence, course and consequences (functioning, mental health care use and costs) of psychiatric disorders among the general population of the Netherlands.…
RationaleSince gamma band activity is thought to be an important mechanism in perceptual binding and cognitive function, interest in changes in gamma band activity in neuropsychiatric disorders has grown rapidly. Changes in gamma band oscillations…
The aim of the study is to check if the mood-as-input model can give a possible explanation for the persistence behaviour seen in patients with work related upper extremity pain. Because of the fact that the mood-as-input model is only tested in non…
To establish the accuracy and precision of systolic cardiac time intervals and arterial pulse wave velocity as obtained from multiple M-mode carotid artery ultrasonography. And to test whether the non-invasive tonometer pressure waveform is…
To identify an AAA associated genes by a functional candidate gene approach.The identification of an AAA associated gene will have several impacts on this high prevalent disease:1. It will improve our understanding of the molecular pathways involved…
The primary objective is whether a difference in innate and acquired immunorespons on RSV infection exists, in children with DS compared to healthy matched-controls.
My research proposal, therefore, will focus on the changeability (plasticity) of the ability to experience positive emotions in response to daily events (natural rewards), as a first step towards novel (preventive) interventions. The main question…
Primary:To validate the latest version of DySIS in discriminating high grade (HG) from low grade (LG) lesions and non neoplastic tissue as well as in selecting the most atypical site for biopsy sampling, through digital documentation and…
To determine whether the T1405N SNP in the CPS-1 gene is associated with lower plasma L-arginine concentrations in preterm infants and to determine whether the T1405N SNP in the CPS-1 gene is associated with a higher risk of NEC.
To investigate whether parents of children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis have a significantly different neutral upright sagittal alignment compared to adult volunteers whose offspring does not have adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
To detect B-cell differentiation and maturation defects in patients with antibody deficiency syndromes of unknown origin (CVID, SAD), which are predictive for clinical complicationsTo detect and sequence candidate genes in subgroups of patients with…
To determine the frequency and suppressive potential of skin resident regulatory T cells isolated from atopic dermatitis and psoriasis patients compared to healthy control subjects (the latter data will be obtained by co-workers at the Brigham and…
Within the observational study WP9, there will be 3 substudies. First the microbiological aetiology of LRTI will be studied by comparing test results in 3000 healthy controls to findings in 3000 adults with LRTI. Bacterial resistance rates will be…
Aim of this study is to explore the relation between Th1-cell mediated diseases as psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis and Th2-cell mediated asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis and hand eczema. Question is whether a dysbalans in…
