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…
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…
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…
The current research is set to provide insight into the phenotypic characteristics of DSPD patients in terms of psychological characteristics, occurrence of co-morbidities, and behavioural characteristics such as bedtime routines and lifestyle, and…
The main objective of this study is to obtain more insight in the (human) mechanism underlying BVR by assessing the correlation between response of BVR to preload variation in study subjects (with and) without electrical remodelling (based on…
Verification of functional tests with the LoRRca, a next generation ektacytometer, on red blood cells of healthy individuals with or without comorbidities/risk factors.
Main study:We want to assess whether bleeding risk in women with uterine leiomyomas is associated with CK activity and attenuated platelet aggregation.Objective of pilot study:Firstly, to perform a feasibility pilot of CK/AK measurement in menstrual…
To study the role of brain metabolites and macromolecules in relationship to pathogenesis, structural brain changes and clinical phenotype of ALS. This will reveal underlying molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis, structural brain changes and…
1. To get new insights in the pathophysiology of PPS by comparing tissue characteristics (histology) of the pericardium in patients with and without PPS. 2. To identify biomarkers that are associated with PPS by collecting 4 blood- and 1 pericardial…
To gain further insight into the interaction and possibly shared pathophysiological mechanisms of female-specific cardiovascular risk factors and events we will quantify white matter hyperintensities on brain MRI and assess endothelial function in…
Objective with respect to patient care: Obese patients have an increased risk of developing heart failure. By gaining insight on the role of obesity in cardiac dysfunction it will be possible to provide a better risk stratification for the onset of…
The main objective of this study is to assess the ability of a wearable measurement system, the Hexoskin smart shirt, to detect and quantify dynamic hyperinflation. Secondary objectives are to determine the optimal measurement procedure and to…
To investigate FGF19 signalling and metabolic and functional consequences of a disturbed enterohepatic cycle in patients with obstructive cholestasis
Based on the gaps in our knowledge (as stated above), we have formulated the following objectives:- To quantify the degree of hepatic fat accumulation and fibrosis in patients with HFI. - To gain more insight in the mechanism leading to NAFLD in…
To investigate whether postprandial bacterial translocation and the subsequent inflammatory response can be modulated by oral vancomycin in lean versus obese subjects. Moreover, we will study the role of platelets in postprandial inflammation.
To characterize the interaction between the gut microbiome, related metabolites, immune function, and perceived complaints in QFS-patients, CFS-patients, and healthy individuals.
To assess variation in and between a small cohort of ACNES patients and healthy human volunteers.
In this exploratory study we aim to explore the values of apolipoprotein B bound to erythrocytes in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2, to evaluate the relationship with clinical and subclinical atherosclerosis and to compare these results…
Primary Objectives:1. To compare protein synthesis rate of the tumour and normal pancreas between cachectic and non-cachectic patients with pancreatic cancer.Secondary Objective(s):1. To compare protein synthesis rate of liver, intestinal, adipose…
