1. To identify and specify bacteria by using RT-PCR on blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in preterm infants, having nosocomial sepsis and meningitis.2. To compare RT-PCR (see aim 1) with the gold standard bacterial culture in preterm infants,…
To assess clinical parameters and biomarkers in blood and urine in predicting bacteremia, need for hospital admission, clinical and bacteriologic cure and mortality in patients with fUTI.To determine whether a 7-day duration of antibiotic treatment…
The present study is designed to test the hypothesis that new imaging modalities like PET with the use of HED and contrast enhanced CMR to quantify fibrosis size and heterogeneity of scar tissue can give a further risk stratification for ventricular…
To document the long-term safety and tolerability of teriflunomide in MS patients with relapses.
The present study will examine how young-onset-dementia patients and their families can be supported in their home environment as long as possible and institutionalisation can be delayed. For this the functioning and care needs of young-onset-…
The aim of this study is to compare the new (covered) TIPS stent with the standard treatment, local band ligation and/or sclerosing of the bleeding vessel under endoscopic guidance, in patients with acute bleeding of esophageal varices, with regard…
This study aims at developing a novel strategy to optimise the treatment of oesophageal adenocarcinoma and gastro-oesophageal junctional tumors with curative intent. To improve the outcome of patients with this disease we hypothesize that the…
1. To determine the diagnostic accuracy, in terms of detecting a vascular malformation, of CTA, MRI/MRA, DSA, or combinations thereof in patients with ICH?2. To find out which test or combination of tests is most effective for the detection of…
The assessment of the duration of the cellular immunity to Bordetella pertussis after an extra ACV booster and the relationship between the memory B- cells and antibody responses. The methods used in the study are:B- and T- cell memory responses and…
We want to compare duplicate measurements of celite ACT and kaolin ACT in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. In addition we want to measure heparin use during surgery in patients monitored with celite ACT and with kaolin ACT.In addition,…
The purpose of this study is to obtain information for the design of a method to measure the behaviour of the ascending and descending pathways of the nociceptive system.
PrimaryTo investigate whether 5 years of extended adjuvant treatment with letrozole results in an improved DFS compared to 2.5 years treatment in patients with early breast cancer previously treated with endocrine agents for 5 yearsSecondaryTo…
The present protocol addresses these issues, with a systematic approach where we first assess optimal settings for BCI, and then test the quality of BCI application in adequately sized groups of subjects. The whole project is aimed at obtaining a…
The purpose of this study in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) is to evaluatewhether FTY720 is effective in delaying MS disability progression in the absence of relapsescompared to placebo. Furthermore, safety and…
- assessment of age dependent reference values (ages 20 - 70 yrs) for plasma renin (activity and concentration), serum aldosterone and 24h urinary aldosterone (free and metabolites) during a regular diet and after a 3 day oral salt loading test-…
To investigate the hypothesis that temporising treatment of women with early-onset, severe preeclampsia improves infant outcome and may reduce direct treatment costs in comparison to short-term planned delivery, while persistent maternal morbidity…
In humans with SCI, we propose to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to: 1) examine the cortical areas that are activated during voluntary contractions, and 2) evaluate how cortical activation patterns change as a muscle is fatigued.…
The main objective of the current study is to search for biomarkers, which will be investigated with their predictive value with respect to the course of COPD in lungfunction, exacerbations, health care use and mortality. The effects of the…
A. Determine the placement of the Maple-probe in relation to the anatomy of the pelvic floor musculature.B. Determine the normal rest tone of the pelvic floor musculatureC. Determine the normal activity of the pelvic floor musculatureD. Determine…
To determine the incidence of hypopituitarism in patients after SAHTo identify neurological parameters that predict hypopituitarism after SAHTo determine the value of a Ghrelin test shortly after SAH, to identify subjects with GHD.To determine the…
