Evaluation of the incidence of liver enzyme abnormalities and hepatic steatosis in all type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (about n=1500) treated at the outpatient clinic internal medicine of the St Lucas Andreas Hospital
The main objective is to study the neural background of episodic bindings and pro active control with an event-related fMRI experiment.
To determine the association between the development of sensory specific satiety and intensity of oral sensory stimulation. Specifically, the development of SSS after consumption of a bar shaped snack vs. a nibble shaped snack of similar ingredients…
The current study further investigates residual vision in hemianopics by using a new measure of distractor interference on saccadic eye movements. Previous research with healthy participants has indicated that irrelevant distractors evoke saccade…
The primary objective of this study is to understand the neurocognitive basis of task-set preparation. To this end, we will acquire fMRI data and behavioural responses of healthy adults (aged 18-30 years).
Aim of this study is to investigate the level of functioning and the quality of life of children and young adults, six to eight years after major trauma.
The present study will examine whether administration of a beta blocker (propranolol) and cortisol (hydrocortisone) to a healthy male population during retrieval of emotional memories in healthy subjects will lead to long term changes in these…
1. To gain insight into the prevalence and incidence of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections and blood borne infections among visitors of the STI clinic in Amsterdam.2. To gain insight into risk factors and risk behaviour among visitors of…
Quantifying the influence of isometric leg exercise on leg, liver, spleen and if feasible heart volume during modelled orthostatic stress. After this study, the next step will involve taking similar experiments to one of the three upright MRI…
By studying in which cases what decisions has been made we hope to get more insight into the interpretation of the requirements of the Ministry in everyday practise. Furthermore, it is important to know how all persons involved and especially the…

To develop a non-invasive MR method to measure the local changes in glucose metabolism of human brain tumour, in order to answer to the question:Is the tumour glucose metabolism anaerobic?
The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of different paradigms and analysis methods on the final result of functional MRI BG data. The second aim is to determine the most optimal paradigm and analysis method for further research in…
With this information we hope to be able provide ex-patients with more detailed information about late effects of treatment. Also it is a very important step towards ajusting current treatment protocol to prevent late effects as much as possible.
The basic question of this project is to what extent the (long term) functional behavior of critical paretic lower leg muscles during standing and walking can be understood and predicted by (early) assessment of the integrity of the corticospinal…
The general aim is to 1) obtain first-person data through an adequate, rigorous and refined description of inner experience (*lived experience*) enabling subjects to thematize important but otherwise tacit aspects of experience, and 2) to use these…
