To gain insight into the prevalence of HBV and HCV and risk factors for HBV and HCV among (former) tatooists and piercers and individuals with multiple tattoos or piercings.
The primary objective is to evaluate the neuro-endocrine stress response during ETS training.The secondary objectives are to assess whether chronic stress, individual sensitivity and personal experience with trauma or disaster medicine are…
The present study aims at exploring a visuo-tactile mirroring mechanism in patients with autism. Furthermore, the relationship between neural tactile simulation processes, empathic abilities, and symptom severity in the social domain will be…
Objective: To determine whether genotype of the promoter polymorphism is associated with alterations of mRNA expression of the M2 receptor
The main objective of this research is to disentangle the neural mechanisms involved in two important forms of learning: trial and error individual learning vs. learning by observation.
Objective: The objective of the study is to evaluate the digestive tolerance of three dosages of a sugar replacing product consumed daily for two weeks versus a reference
The objective of these studies is to identify the primary mechanisms of GC-induced dysmetabolic effects in humans and to find biomarkers that reflect these side effects of GC treatment and which can be followed during therapy and in future clinical…
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether ambulant feedback of measured activity pattern is able to change the daily activity pattern of patients with chronic low back pain.
This study looks if the third generation antipsychotic aripiprazole can improve activity of the prefrontal cortex and cognitive and social function, when compared to the second generation antipsychotic risperidone.
The primary objective is to examine the effect of body fat distribution on the physiological response to a dietary fat intervention. Physiological response will be evaluated as fatty acid kinetics (plasma and subcutaneous fat appearance), targeted…
Our primary objectives are to evaluate - if endogenous EPO, EPC levels and EPC function are different in patients with stable and unstable CAD, compared to age and sex matched controls;- if a correlation exists between endogenous EPO and EPC levels…
In our own recent studies we found indications of the existence of particular executive functioning deficits as well as memory impairments following different regimens of cytotoxic agents. Together with the indication from our animal study of a…
To study the spread of STI among heterosexual males and females (heterosexuals) in Amsterdam in order to provide information for building evidence-based prevention strategies and to evaluate existing control programs. Three substudies are part of…
Assessment of intra en inter reproducibility of 3.0 Tesla proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in assessing hepatic steatosis. Reproducibility of visible peaks in water unsuppressed and suppressed MR spectra.
The aim of the study is to compare glycemic responses after consumption of a standard (carbohydrate dense) energy bar and an energy bar with modified macronutrient composition.
The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that obesity and the microbial community in the human GI tract are linked
Collecting temperature/perfusion data on a number of sites on the body during a warming/cooling cycle in order to obtain a relation that describes the connection between perfusion and temperature, depending on the measurement site. The obtained…
The purpose of this study is 2-fold: To validate the measured energy expenditure with the activity pod against the golden standard for the measurement of energy expenditure, the doubly labelled water method and to find out which activities as…
Objective: The aim of the study is to investigate whether afferent sensory input reduces the sensory and motor symptoms in RLS patients. By performing a SomatoSensory Evoked Potential (SSEP) we will also look at the central conduction time of an…
To study motivational and psychological aspects, aestetic outcome, and general satisfaction in two groups of women who opt for mastectomy with breast reconstruction either with autologous material using the DIEP-flap procedure or with silicon…
