Primary objectives:1. What is the effect of walking on a treadmill compared to walking in a patient-in-charge mode on kinematics in healthy subjects?2. What is the effect of walking on a treadmill compared to walking in a patient-in-charge mode on…
Primary objective: The main objective of this pilot study is to gain more insight into the effects of tVNS: to assess if the ABVN and consecutively the NTS are really stimulated by tVNS. Therefore this study investigates the effects of tVNS on the…
The main objective of this study is to find if there is a measurable improvement of transfemoral amputees standing up with the active knee support prosthesis (ERK) in comparison to standing up without active knee support.
Our goal is to manufacture a 3D-IOD which is designed digitally, and subsequently 3D-printed. Such 3D-IOD, can be made cheaper, faster and more patient friendly. To prove such a statement, patients should at least be even satisfied about their 3D-…
To investigate whether a test meal in gastric bypass patients with supplemented casein protein results in higher concentrations of satiety-related plasma amino acids and satiety-related hormones and leads to more postprandial satiety and less hunger…
To compare postprandial plasma amino acid concentrations over time after ingestion of a fixed amount of protein from different dairy products in healthy adults.
The primary objectives are to investigate whether L-carnitine infusion may rescue lipid-induced insulin resistance and whether L-carnitine infusion is improving metabolic flexibility in the state of lipid-induced insulin resistance. Furthermore,…
(1) To assess the effect of ARA 290 on the ventilatory response to hypoxia (and compare the effects to Epo); (2) To assess the effect of ARA 290 on the gradient over the tricuspid valve during hypoxia (and compare the effects to Epo); (3) To assess…
The objective of the study is to compare the effects of homogenized, unhomogenized and skimmed milk with butter on postprandial metabolism in healthy overweight men.
The aim of this study is to determine the immediate effects of oral alcohol consumption in healthy volunteers on gut wall integrity as measured by Intestinal Fatty Acid Binding Protein (I-FABP) and Lipopolysaccharide Binding Protein (LBP) These…
Primary objective: To evaluate the differences in digestion and absorption on the administration of enteral nutrition either gastric or distal to the ligament of Treitz in the jejunum.Secondary objective: To evaluate the differences in endocrine…
The primary objective of this clinical study is to compare the incidence of post-repair wound related complications, including hernia occurence/reccurence between challenging abdominal wall defects repaired with Strattice Reconstructive Tissue…
To study the effect of pectin in 5 different physicochemical states on ad libitum energy intake and possible underlying mechanisms; i.e. gastrointestinal hormones, gastric emptying rate, feelings of satiety and the method of fiber supplementation.
1. To investigate whether an adjusted mode of APAP can improve patients adherence in comparison to fixed CPAP in present-day PAP therapy of OSAHS patients.2. To investigate the agreement between the parameters of the CPAP devices and the polygraphy…
Primary: To investigate the effects of 300 mg aliskiren on albuminuria in patients with non-diabeticnephropathy treated with ramipril 10 mg and volume intervention.Secundary: Effects of ramipril and ramipril plus aliskiren. Effects on RAAS…
Overall objective:The overall objective is to test the hypothesis that GLP-1 receptor activation of CNS reward and satiety circuits occurs, in the context of food(-related) stimuli, and that this effect is altered in individuals with obesity and…
The aim of this study is to investigate the possible consequences of generic-generic substitution of gabapentin, a frequently used anti-epileptic drug.
Primary Objective: To determine oral, gastric and duodenal lipid degradation of fat preloads .Secondary Objectives: To study how the oro-gastro-intestinal digestion of these fat preloads relates to: - Colloidal stability. For this we will monitor…
Controlling the glycemic impact of food products may reduce glycemic and insulinemic responses. This may result in a decreased inhibition of fat oxidation rate and lower plasma TAG concentration. A higher postprandial fat oxidation may result in…
