We want to establish an abbreviated, multidimensional, evidence based, diagnostic personalityprotocol within the mental health services. The hypothesis is that the mutidimensional testcombination of VTCI, NEO-FFI and CISS is sufficient reliable and…
Interferons (IFNs) are a family of cytokines which have important antiviral and antiproliferative properties. They also play an important role in immunomodulation. Type I IFNs have been implicated in autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus…

Glucose control by closed loop in diabetes type 1 is equal to glucose control by insulin pump.
The fetus is protected from maternal immune responses through various mechanisms such as lack of expression of classical HLA class I and class II molecules, inhibitory T cell, costimulatory molecules, NK cells, complement regulatory proteins by…
1. The STERK-intervention will prevent early onset of anxiety and mood disorders in offspring (compared to a minimal information condition); 2. The STERK-intervention is cost-effective; 3. The effectiveness of the STERK-training will be influenced…
To identify candidate antigens for the development of a prophylactic Staphylococcus aureus vaccine by studying expression profiles of host and pathogen determinants during natural infection.
The hypothesis of the present study is to demonstrate that detection of a particular pattern (e.g., persistent vs. non-persistent) of myocardial (alpha)V(beta)3/5 expression by scintigraphy imaging at 3 and 8 weeks after MI can be used to determine…
1. It is hypothesized that participation in the Active plus program contributes to an increase in physical activity behaviour among older adults; 2. Additionally receiving physical and social environmental information results in an extra increase…
Therapeutic footwear of which adequate off-loading properties are guaranteed and monitored by dynamic plantar pressure assessment will result in a reduced plantar re-ulceration rate in diabetic patients with prior plantar foot ulceration compared to…
1. Muscle ultrasound is capable to detect dermatomyositis and polymyositis in suspected patients; 2. Muscle ultrasound is capable to detect improvement of structural muscle changes induced by treatment; 3. Muscle ultrasound is capable to detect…
The primary goal of this study is to determine whether it is possible to discontinue treatment with TNF blocking therapy in patients suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis when the patient has had stable low disease activity.
Increasing kidney function by kidney transplantation might improve the circadian rhythms of melatonin concentration, sleep and 24-hour blood pressure profile.
1. Participation in an early home-based education programme compared to care as usual will significantly increase knowledge on kidney disease and treatment options, communication on renal replacement options and promote a positive attitude towards…
The use of parenterally administered LEV in neonatal epileptic seizures, detected electrographically, with or without clinical signs, will be safe, and pharmacokinetic and –dynamic properties of the use in neonates will be determined.
Nebulizing amoxicillin clavulanic acid is more effective for reaching amoxicillin levels in sputum > MIC90 than amoxicillin clavulanic acid given by oral or intravenous administration.
Increased cardiac sympathetic activity is highly prevalent among patienst with chronic heart failure. The increased cardiac sympathetic activity as assessed with 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is a usefull tool to discriminate responders (i.e.…
The double labeled triglyceride and free fatty acid fat absorption test is as effective as the fecal fat balance as a quantitative diagnostic test for intestinal fat absorption in CF patients.
