In patients with NSTEMI we aim to: 1) compare coronary vulnerable plaque detection between 18F-NaF-PET-CMR and invasive coronary angiography, 2) investigate the relation of coronary vulnerable plaques using 18F-NaF-PET with myocardial infarction…
This study aims at, first, assessing the most relevant exposure aspects of night-shift work and, second, identifying biomarkers for both acute and chronic circadian disruption associated to these specific nightshift work aspects. By applying…
The primary objective is to evaluate whether 2.5 µg VD3 analogue (Zemplar® * Abbvie) in multiple subcutaneously administered doses induces a more favourable (read: anti-inflammatory) systemic immune modulation both in general parameters and allergen…
The overall objective of this study is to develop patient friendly and unobtrusive techniques to characterize motor function. In this context we will use video cameras combined with depth sensors (RGB-D sensors, such as Microsoft KinectTM) and…
We aim to gain insight into the incidence and severity of CIPN and its influence on patient-reported outcomes (i.e. health related quality of life (HRQoL), disease-specific complaints, depression, fatigue, sleep problems) among a prospective…
The objective of the study is to determine the protein profile of cerebrospinal fluid of non-pregnant women using mass-spectrometry.This study is a follow-up project on the previously performed study (LEPRA, CSF and pre-eclampsia, MEC 2007-087). In…
Primary Objective: To compare the effects of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism on cardiac left ventricular function, as assessed by CMR, in subjects with differentiated thyroid cancer during their early treatment.Secondary Objective(s): To compare…
1. Immunology and Pathology:To determine the immune response of patients with simple and complex appendicitis in order to identify markers which distinguish between simple and complex appendicitis.2.Clinical and Imaging:To analyze the differences in…
Primary Objective: To objectively and subjectively investigate sleep and fatigue among Dutch and British offshore workers and their influence on health safety and performance.Secondary Objective(s): • To examine the course of cortisol, cotison and…
To investigate the underpinnings of ADHD and its persistence into adulthood: Through studying genetic factors, in combination with genomic, microbiome, cell-based, neuroimaging, neuropsychological and psychiatric assessment we aim to gain more…
1. To identify genetic variants associated with an increased risk of ASD using different genetic models (dominant, recessive, interaction).2. To determine the relationship between different genetic variants and the associated neuropsychiatric ASD…
Primary:2. To investigate the prevalence of vulnerable plaques, i.e. plaques with intraplaque hemorrhage on MRI, in individuals with type 2 diabetes, impaired and normal glucose tolerance and a minimal plaque thickness of 2mm on ultrasonography. To…
The primary objective of the current study is to (further) investigate the role of reward and punishment sensitivity in Anorexia Nervosa and obesity by examining general and disorder-specific appetitive and aversive biases. The secondary objective…
The main aim of the proposal is to study the processes involved in non-chronic vs. chronic drug seeking behavior in samples of alcohol dependent persons (ADs) and pathological gamblers (PGs) with different levels of chronicity. We thereby rely on…
The main objective of this study is to identify rare, high-penetrance germline mutations predisposing to familial and/or early onset UBC.
To study the neurological changes that explains the recovering of visual field defects after visual restoration therapy.
To identify predictors for the different treatment options for obesity (1. combined lifestyl intervention plus, 2. E-health treatment, 3. bariatric surgery; inclusion for treatment options 1 and 2 takes place in the EMC, inclusion for the treatment…
With this study we will evaluate the following hypothesis: Does acute systemic inflammation induces plaque instability and could it be repsonsible for the elevated risk of cardiovascular events. Eventually this study can contribute to the knowledge…
18-22 YEAR OLD MALES WIHT A NORMAL WEIGHTExamine the possible attenuating cardiometabolic health effects of (A) hourly, 10-min standing interruptions, when compared to a single bout of prolonged sitting, and (B) sitting on a stability ball, when…
To determine if a marked change in the concentrations of one or more of the selected biomarker is evident before PUs are visible
