We hypothesize that the subpopulation of CD68+Tie2+ macrophages is increased in diabetic patients in comparison to non-diabetic individuals. These macrophages may cause an increased expression of Ang2 in plaques, thereby enhancing angiogenesis which…
To improve detection of metastases, radiotracers have been developed for PET/CT imaging: i.e. radiolabelled Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) ligands. Initial studies with Gallium-68 (68Ga-) PSMA showed promising results. The second…
The aim of this observational study is to investigate the relationship between orthostatic hypotension and the rate of successful rehabilitation. A previous study showed that orthostatic hypotension increased the risk for successful rehabilitation,…
Atherosclerosis is characterized by a persistent inflammation of the arterial wall. Monocyte-derived macrophages are the most abundant immune cells in atherosclerotic plaques. It has recently been shown that not only immune cells of the adaptive…

To investigate whether amino acid area under the curve (AUC) and Cmax of product B is equivalent to amino acid AUC and Cmax of product A
Participants who are offered the experimental intervention (i.e., mindfulness app) report more mindfulness, less mental health problems, better quality of life, and greater self-actualization than participants in the waiting list control condition…
To investigate the uptake and effectiveness of a Dementia Risk Reduction Online lifestyle Program among middle-aged descendants of people with recently diagnosed AD or VD at participating Dutch memory clinics.
We postulate that the increased cardiovascular risk in ANCA-associated vasculitis can be explained by both traditional and disease related risk factors
Investigate whether it is possible to reliably measure the temperature of the lower extremities by means of a temperature sensor on both ankles of the rehabilitants and follow the temperature longitudinally through time. An increase in temperature…
•Bicruciate preserved tibia tray for TKA is at least as efficient and safe as the conventional tibia tray for TKA with elimination of the ACL. •TKA with the use of Signature™ alignment guide is at least as efficient and safe as TKA with the use of…
Objective: To study the (cost-)effectiveness of robotic compared to open cystectomy in patients with bladder cancer
The study hypothesis is that FFCiH will maintain or improve functional status and physical activity in hospitalized stroke and geriatric patients compared to usual care.
Inflammatory injury of the lung after cardiac surgery in heart failure versus non-heart failure patients; An observational study of clinical variables, genetic association, and etiologic and prognostic aspects of inflammatory markers in serum and…
-Patients experience decrease in muscle strength, mobility and physical health status during treatment with high-dose glucocorticoids for ANCA associated vasculitis -The difference is clinically relevant, and some or all patients may require…
The aim of this study is to analyze the risk-factors associated with acquiring VIM-2 positive P. aeruginosa, among patients admitted to the Erasmus University Medical Center since the first recorded case in 2003. Secondary aims: 1.To investigate…
