To study patients with clinically suspect arthralgia in order to 1) develop diagnostic/prognostic markers (a. markers of systemic and b. local inflammation as well as c. autoantibodies) for the development of RA 2) to improve the mechanistic…
1A) To implement a screening-protocol for HIV related co-morbidities and their risk factors, based on multidisciplinary expert consultation, in a large HIV outpatient clinic and among an HIV-uninfected control group.1B) To assess the prevalence and…
Primary Objective: Primary: Gut microbiota (oral and fecal) and nasal microbiota composition in relation to autoimmunity status (antibodies (ANA, ANCA) and HLA subtype) and inflammatory functional assays as well as disease&…
1. To study the possibility to detect gynaecological malignancies and endometriosis in vaginal self-swabs, Pap smears and blood of women with gynaecological cancer or endometriosis, using MeD-seq and MeD-scan assays, in order to develop…
To gain insight in the disease mechanisms of IBD, the immune system, gut and oral microbiome, environmental factors, the intestinal mucus barrier, intestinal epithelium, nutritional factors and metabolome will be studied in unaffected siblings of…
The aim of this study is to assess the position and alignment of the Atlas, as measured by the angles between the atlas and the surrounding vertebrae in healthy participants, patients with chronic headache, and patients with…
Primary objectives: 1.1) To investigate to what extent the different functions of the cerebral microvasculature are impaired in type 1 diabetes; and 1.2) To investigate to what extent the different functions of the cerebral microvasculature are…
The objective is to improve the understanding of intracochlear electrocochleography for objective measurement of residual hearing. ECochG responses obtained postoperatively in patients with different aetiologies will be evaluated in…
Main objective is to determine whether nerve excitability can detect drug-induced effects of Riluzole in yet treatment- naïve patients with ALS. Secondary objectives are to determine the correlation between the Riluzole plasma concentration levels…
Primary objective: to register and investigate Dutch patients suspect for an inherited platelet function disorder, to assess clinical presentation, bleeding score, treatment, burden of disease and quality of life. Secondary objectives: to…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether SAH patients at risk of developing DCI show a distinguished platelet RNA profile compared to patients without DCI. Secundary objective; to evaluate whether platelet RNA analyses can predict…
Objective 1: To improve the understanding of the dynamic phenotypic spectrum and the disease mechanisms of HD by:a. collecting natural history data covering the cognitive, behavioral and motor domains permitting estimates of rates of progression in…
A future project will focus on a new platform for at-home monitoring and testing of cochlear implants, developed by one of the manufacturers of cochlear implants, Advanced Bionics (AB). Their Research Application allows for clinicians to read out…
To answer the following questions: 1. Who are the patients that need to be revaccinated?2. How many vaccinations are needed to restore SARS-CoV-2 immunity?3. Can the number of vaccinations needed to restore SARS-CoV-2 immunity be predicted?To…
Our project aims to investigate cognitive and linguistic deficits in people with SCD, focusing on working memory impairments, deficits of lexical access, and deficits brought on by syntactic complexity. We will integrate clinical linguistic…
Primary Objective: To explore the computations which occur in the brain which occur in visual disorders and determine how these differ from healthy controls. Specifically, we expect that the overall sensitivity (area under the curve) which reflects…
The primary objective of this project is to evaluate the differences between a wide variety of cardiac disease and healthy volunteers using novel echocardiographic techniques (LV SV-loops, 3D RV beutels and SWI) and relate these to patient…
The objective of this study is to quantify the subjective feeling of knee (in)stability during a stair descent. This results in the following research question:*Is there a relation between the kinematics of the knee joint from people who suffer…
Primary To evaluate the prevalence of specific immune cell subsets in a range of IMID dermatologic disease patients, both between diseases and compared to healthy volunteers Secondary To evaluate the variability in specific immune cell…
