The aim of this project is to evaluate the clinical value of biomarkers in adult patients with pulmonary hypertension, in particular:1) To quantify biomarkers of neurohormonal activity as NTproBNP, endotheline-1 and of immunological activity as CRP…
Most patients undergoing spine surgery with pedicle screw instrumentation will experience insufficient pain relief in the first three days after surgery, whereafter postoperative pain can be managed with conventional, non-opioid analgesics in most…
To determine the waste reduction, net cost savings and environmental impact attained by redispensing oral anticancer drugs that go unused by patients compared with the standard practice of disposal.
REE will be assessed using indirect calorimetry. Oxygen consumption (VO₂) and carbon dioxide production (VCO₂) will be measured. The respiratory quotient (RQ) will be derived from VO₂ and VCO₂. Body composition will be determined by…
The standard-of-care sentinel lymph node (SLN) procedure in paediatric cancer patients consists of a preoperative intradermal injection with 99mTechnetium-nanocolloid as radiotracer in combination with an intraoperative injection of blue dye for…
Development of new imaging techniques for MR-guided motion management in the presence of respiratory motion
This study is designed to gather prospective data on a) the clinical effectiveness, b) the tissue structure changes, and c) the short term costs of ankle joint distraction (AJD) in 10 patients with HAA during 10 years follow-up.
Establishing efficacy and safety of the electrodes and implantable pulse generators (IPGs), which are used for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Objective: This protocol describes a framework that will be used to create different studies. The general primary and secondary objectives of this protocol are stated below:Primary objective: Investigate the effect of surgery on the position and…
To evaluate whether we can determine the health status of the joint by measuring biomarker levels using a newly developed assay by the University of Twente based on the multiplex measurement of a panel of relevant biomarkers using Surface Plasmon…
Primary Objective: 1. To compare total testosterone levels between male CCH and ECH patients and healthy controls To compare total testosterone levels in males with ECH during remission (remission ECH) and during an active…
The primary objective of this clinical Research is: • The objective of the study is to investigate concept and feasibility of view automation for SHD interventions. The study will explore the contribution of (semi) automatic views based procedural…
The first aim of this study is to use an in vitro approach using patient's derived material to accurately and rapidly predict the optimal therapeutic approach that will predict a good clinical response in individual patients…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of pre-operative MRI scanning using SPIO compared to lymphoscintigraphy (LS) and single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT)…
The primary objective is to examine relationships between neurocognitive performance and MRI parameters of brain vasculature, metabolism, and white matter diffusion in children who have been treated for posterior fossa tumor. Secondary objectives…
Primary objective: - To develop an automatic segmentation algorithm using artificial intelligence for real-time intra-operative vessel segmentationSecondary objectives: - Post-operative evaluating the accuracy of…
To evaluate the safety, feasibility and efficacy of an 8-week remotely supervised home-based maintenance exercise training program following pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with COPD.
The current project has two goals: (1) to measure viewing strategies used by children with normal vision, children with ocular visual impairment and children with CVI and (2) to evaluate whether training viewing strategies results in more efficient…
To develop a prediction model for BPD using a range of multimodal predictors assessed in the first two weeks of life.
Primary objectives: - To examine how environmental exposures influence the prevalence, 5-year incidence and progression of cardiometabolic and chronic respiratory disease in the general population. - To determine the mediation effect of lifestyle…
