Primary objectives: this study will 1) assess the accuracy of the Cortex MetaLyzer® 3B in adolescents (12-17 yr) for measuring REE, using the Deltatrac® II metabolic monitor as a reference; and 2) assess the accuracy and the within-subject, within-…
The aim of the study is to evaluate the change of lung function at least one year after definitive chemoradiation (concurrent or sequential) in patients with locally advanced (non) small cell lung carcinoma to assess late radiation injury in our…
To study potential abnormal functioning of the bile salt-FXR-FGF19 axis in patients with clinically quiescent Crohn*s colitis.
The aim of the proposed research is to test, by the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging, the hypothesis that psychometric schizotypy (referring to, e.g., subclinical hallucinations in healthy people) is associated with reduced activation of…
The study can be divided in three parts1. A laboratory based experiment to addresses the accuracy of the Neural Network based method. A secondary objective is the minimization of activities needed to generate training data for the Neural Network.2.…
The primary aim of this study is to gain more insight on the impact of reconstructive surgery on circumcised women. This study may also used for theorizing about plastic surgery on women who are circumcised.
Testosterone, cortisol and estradiol are known to influence information transfer in the brain, the interrelationships between steroid hormones, brain communication and social aggression have never been studied directly.The present study aims to…
To evaluate the effects of tDCS on modulating and stydying frontal brain asymmetry.
The main objective is to describe the interactions between physical sensory stimulations and high-level prior assumptions that give rise to visual perception. In our secondary objective, we will advance novel model-based neuroimaging methods by…
GoalThis research project aims to we examine possible reduced processing capacity in people with aphasia. We will investigate whether complexity of word forms, as calculated by information theoretical measures, can provide an explanation for the…
Objective of this study is to determine the turnover of leukocyte populations in health (young, old) and how this compares to situations in which the immune system is disturbed ((HIV-1 infection, HSCT, thymectomy).
The primary objective of the proposed study is to gain insight in the underlying neural mechanisms by which frontal cortical activation patterns are established, and its implications for human aggressive behaviour. The proposed approach aims to…
Primary objective: the primary goal is to investigate the effect of audiobooks on quality of life, general psychopathology, the experienced power of the voices and the burden of the voices.Secondary objective: the second goal is to determine whether…
The goal of the current investigation is to test a new model that accounts better for results of pharmacological research. This model states that the cholinergic system underlies disengagement, and that the noradrenergic system underlies bias. Two…
This proposal centers on hormone-behavior dynamics in paternal caregiving, with the goal of gaining a better understanding of the development of human paternal caregiving. There is limited information on the hormonal basis of caregiving patterns in…
The aim of this study is to identify predictive factors for the outcome of gastro-esophageal disease after gastric banding. Another aim is to identify predictive factors for the development of dysphagia.
Primary ObjectiveTo investigate changes of CSF proteins over time using continuous CSF sampling for 36 hours, including but not limited to A*1/x-42, A* 1/x-40, A* 1/x-38 and A* 1/x-37 in subjects with MCI or AD. Secondary Objectives1. To investigate…
The current study evaluates the OrthoSensor and investigates whether the combination of the Vanguard® Knee System with the OrthoSensor results in a faster recovery and better clinical outcomes during short follow up compared to conventional TKA (…
to compare in vivo total kidney 123I-MIBG uptake (by counts per pixel) by 123I-MIBG scintigraphy to direct ex vivo 123I-MIBG uptake of the flushed kidney as directly assessed with phosphor imaging.
The proposed intervention aims to increase sport participation of youth with behavioural and/or learning problems as part of their youth care program within a Rotterdam youth care organisation. This will allow us 1.) to empirically test the effect…
