The primary objective is to study if quantitative (3- and 7-Tesla) MRI protocols (MRI perfusion, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and chemical shift imaging (CSI)) are able to detect phenotype conversion earlier than conventional MRI. Results will be…
Evaluate the effect of menarche and menstrual cycle on the QTc interval among girls with genetically confirmed mutations causing LQTS type 1 (LQT1) and type 2 (LQT2).
In this study we aim to gain more insights into immune reconstitution of various leukocyte populations after SCT. By application of heavy water labeling we investigate if and how the production- and death rate of leukocytes changes after an SCT.
Primary Objective: The overall aim of this study is to develop a reliable and valid IADL questionnaire for use in brain tumor patients. Parallel versions of this questionnaire will be developed; a patient-based version and a proxy-based version.…
To test if acute NK boosts muscle mitochondrial function in vivo in patients with VLCADD in order to establish a rational basis for therapeutic use in this disorder. A secondary objective is to gather data to test the working hypothesis that the…
Various brain areas play a crucial role in both pain and cognition, supporting the existence of a close relationship between pain and cognition. Consequently, it is important to examine whether pain experience changes at the moment the patient shows…
To study the influence of systemic blood flow and mean arterial pressure on cerebral blood flow and cerebral tissue oxygenation in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery.
The objective of the current study is to obtain normative data of healthy individuals on brain measures, cognition and blood markers. In addition, we acquire information on childhood trauma, metabolic and immunological parameters in a cohort of…
First objective: gain insight in the coordination of trunk, head and arm during functional tasks in healthy children and compare this with the coordination in children with DMD, SMA and CP. Second objective: investigate if newly developed supportive…
To develop TMS-EEG as a technique to study the interaction between brain regions. The specific experiments in this study are aimed at investigating the effects of brief activations of specific brain regions using TMS on signals recorded non-…
Primary objective1) To study the frequency of mutations in this gene in patients with central hypothyroidism and their first- and second-degree relativesSecondary objective: 2) To determine the clinical, biochemical and radiological consequences of…
Primary Objective: To further optimize the IPMDSSecondary Objective(s): To determine in which age-groups the items within the IPMDS are appropriate To determine whether the IPMDS can assessed reliably by research nurses, students and physician…
The main objective of the current study is to identify task-general problem-solving processes in the brain, using model-guided and machine-learning-based analysis techniques applied to fMRI data. The secondary objectives are to identify the timing…
To investigate the effects of in-phase and anti-phase bilateral frontal theta tACS (5 Hz) on gambling behaviour and endogenous frontal theta activity.
The aim of the project is to study the effect of GRTs on the synthesis and cytokine release in psoriasis lesions. Thisinformation can establish the right formulation and dose of GRTs for further research.
1. Determine whether different classes of epigenetic modifiers affect HIV-1-specific T cell immunity.a. Investigate whether HIV-specific T cell exhaustion can be reversed by inhibitors of different classes of epigenetic modifiers.b. Examine whether…
The aim of the basic research in the laboratory is to develop new treatments to repair large bone defects, repair cartilage defects or inhibit the progression of osteoarthritis (cartilage degeneration). We focus on the following questions:1.How can…
Primary objective- Short- and mid-term repeatability of mDLS and LSCI measures;- Comparison of blood flow obtained by LSCI and blood flow obtained by mDLS;- Comparison of coagulation status obtained by mDLS and coagulation status assessed by…
To assess the physiological effects of metformin and hypocaloric dieting on thyroid iodide uptake and thyroid function in healthy volunteers.
We aim to validate MRS with a cholinergic challenge as method to investigate muscarinic M1 receptor functioning. To investigate the relationship between the response to a muscarinic receptor antagonist with biperiden phMRI and [123I]IDEX SPECT…
