Understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms that play a role in liver cirrhosis and its complications. For that aim, we want to study the functional and morphological intestinal epithelial barrier and microbiota of both small and large intestine…
Main objective: 1) To investigate whether BAT activity differs between South Asians and Caucasians.Secondary objectives: 1) To investigate whether sympatic stimulation of BAT differs between South Asians and Caucasians2) To investigate the…
W want to investigate the influence of a mutaion in the MH allel on the HPV and the normal reaction of MH patients to hypoxia
To fully characterize skeletal muscle strength and endurance, phenotype and muscle fiber type-specific satellite cell content in frail elderly as compared to those elderly that do not classify as frail according to clinical criteria.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of - short vs. long - oro-sensory exposure combined with a gastric load - low vs. high in energy -, on gastric emptying rate. As secondary outcome we want to investigate the effect of…
The objective of the current proposal is to further explore the pathophysiological changes that occur in patient with an IGSF1 mutation, using an established method for assessing hormone secretory characteristics.
to find evidence for frontal inhibition during planning of explicit movements just as seen in patients with conversion disorders.
The primary objective is to determine if there is an association between the presence of vertebral and/or rib anomalies and congenital malformations, aneuploidy or adverse fetal outcome, in order to assess whether detailed evaluation of the…
Primary Objective: To define a top set of genes that most reliably (r >=0.95) distinguish psoriasis from normal skin. We will define this set from differential methylation genes to indicate potential biomarkers.Secondary Objective(s):…
The aim of this study is to determine whether the presence and the extent of periodontitis are independently related to the presence and extent of coronary calcification.To determine if periodontal treatment has an positive effect on the…
To compare the digestibility, bioavailability and subsequent muscle protein synthetic response to casein, with casein protein provided in an isolated manner versus casein in a milk matrix, in healthy elderly subjects
(1) to establish the neuropsychiatric and personality status (symptoms and impairments) (2) to assess the possible determinants of these symptoms and impairments and (3) to examine the impact of these symptoms and impairments on daily life…
The main objectives of this study is to see if changes in the innate immune system can be found in diseases associated with increased risk for atherosclerosis
Primary Objective: To measure cortical spreading depression with full-band EEG during the migraine attack at patients aged 4 years or older. Secondary Objective(s): -To explore (additional) signal analysis techniques for detecting CSDs or infra slow…
To investigate whether sodium and potassium mutations are found in a cohort of patients with small fiber neuropathy, painful diabetic neuropathy (versus diabetes patients with no or only minor symptoms) and in patients with breast, ovarium or…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether there is an increased binding potential of the TSPO ligand [11C]PK11195, which is a marker for microglia activation in neuroinflammation, using PET in patients with CFS compared to healthy…
Primary Objective:Pilot study: Selection of the titanium derivatives which are capable of penetrating the skin, and thus can be used in the full study as patch test materials.Full study: To compare the results of three different diagnostic tests…
Primary objectives:- To investigate possible differences in driving performances between premanifest gene carriers, manifest HD, and control subjects.- To explore if different aspects of cognitive functioning might be a predictor of fitness to drive…
Answering the question if there are any associations between hormonal status in adolescence on the one hand, and immunological reactivity and pharmacodynamics on the other hand; and if such associations can explain the more rapid deterioration of…
Primary Objective:First we need to establish that patients with an eating disorder and healthy controls differ in mental imagery. So, the first aim of our research is to compare the nature and characteristics (emotionality, vividness and perspective…
