To determine the effects of biphosphonates on radiation induced microvascular damage in the skin of breast cancer patients by comparing skin biopsies taken prior to and 4 months after treatment with a biphosphonate.
Main objective: 1) To investigate whether BAT activity differs between South Asians and Caucasians.Secondary objectives: 1) To investigate whether sympatic stimulation of BAT differs between South Asians and Caucasians2) To investigate the…
W want to investigate the influence of a mutaion in the MH allel on the HPV and the normal reaction of MH patients to hypoxia
To fully characterize skeletal muscle strength and endurance, phenotype and muscle fiber type-specific satellite cell content in frail elderly as compared to those elderly that do not classify as frail according to clinical criteria.
To investigate whether sodium and potassium mutations are found in a cohort of patients with small fiber neuropathy, painful diabetic neuropathy (versus diabetes patients with no or only minor symptoms) and in patients with breast, ovarium or…
Objective of the study is to quantify the microbiological etiology in immunocompromised patients, at least 18 years of age, with CAP needing hospitalization. And to determine the severity, antibiotic use and outcome of CAP in immunocompromised…

Main study objective of this study is:To evaluate whether the 320-detector volumetric CT technology can replace carotid duplex scanning and TEE in the diagnostic workup in TIA/IS patients. Specific aims of this main study objective are:1. To assess…
The next questions will be addressed in the present study: 1. Do moderately preterm infants differ in development and attention and concentration capacities from a term and very preterm infants during the first years of life? 2. Do attention and…
Primary Objectives: - To investigate whether disease progression in individual patients with CHF can be accurately assessed by serial measurements of disease-related (novel) biomarkers.- To investigate whether dynamic biomarker patterns as…
The goal of this study is to collect and clinically characterize a large cohort of patients with hereditary retinal dystrophies in the Netherlands. The study cohort will be used to identify the genetic causes underlying these diseases, and to…
The principal aim of this study is to elucidate the role of the glycocalyx in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia by assessing: - Whether the glycocalyx is affected in pre-eclampsia and is related to its severity.- Whether glycocalyx perturbation is…
The aim of our project is in-depth characterization of the microbiota components both adjacent to and within the mucosa in patients with IBD, by applying novel high-throughput analysis technology in a global description strategy approach.…
Primary objectives:1. To determine the effect of the use of a tailored intervention protocol (regarding reduced antimicrobial use, improving hygiene and changing the animal contact structure) on pig and veal farms on the degree of antimicrobial…
The aim of this study is to create a prognostic model enabling the clinician to predict the outcome of a septic episode. Furthermore, by getting more insight in the pathophysiologic proces of sepsis, we could discover new possible targets for future…
Identifying translational EEG endophenotypes in mice and man that will determine cross-species genetic findings on behavioural and cognitive traits, including psychiatric disorders.
To determine the effect of hypoglycaemia on BAT-activity.
We will investigate endothelial function before and after bariatric surgery.
The primary objective is to gain insight into the causative mechanisms of exertional dyspnea in HFPEF. We hypothesize that exercise induced pulmonary hypertension plays a significant role in the development of complaints. The secondary objectives…
