The first objective of this study is to gain insight in which neurocognitive and neurobiological processes underlie the development of externalizing behavior (in specific aggressive behavior) in the first two years of life. The second objective is…
Our primary objective is to identify which intrinsic defect in Tregs is crucial for sarcoidosis pathology. To this end we will examine the genetic and functional properties of Tregs in the peripheral blood and at the site of disease, i.e. the lung…
Primary goal: Investigate the hypothesis that suture repair of a ruptured vkb, combined with a dynamic intraligamentary stabilization and microfracture of the femoral notch, results in at least equal effectiveness compared with an ACL reconstruction…
The objective of the study is to assess the performance of topical negative pressure therapy application with Prevena* Incision Management System (IMS) versus standard conventional wound therapy (SCWT) on closed median sternal incisions in patients…
The BAV study is a clinical and genetic study to unravel biomarker and imaging predictors of adverse outcome and to explore the pathogenetic basis of bicuspid aortic valves and it*s associated pathologies. We will also deliver insights in the…
Original study:The goal of this study is to have a theoretically based understanding of how sub processes of self-concept development emerge in relation to each other. The primary objective is to test a neuroscientific model of self-concept…
The primary aim of the current proposal is to get a better understanding of how CeD risk genes contribute to disease aetiology. To achieve this, we will apply a holistic approach in which we will study the behaviour of immune cells and the…
ObjectivesOur main hypothesis is that ICP shows a dynamic profile over the course of different attack phases in migraine. Therefore, we aim to detect dynamic changes in ICP in relation to different phases of the migraine attack. In concreto, the…
This study aims to determine the normal distribution of desmosine in a healthy population and a population of patients with COPD (ranging from GOLD I-IV). In addition, the inter-day variation and the correlation with 24-hour urinary desmosine will…
The primary goal of the proposed study is to examine the neural correlates of affective processing in the auditory modality. Specifically, the primary goal is to (1) examine which neural network is specifically involved in the perception of…
We hypothesize that ER stress contributes to epithelial dysfunction in Z-AATD, resulting in enhanced inflammation. In addition, we hypothesize that the airways of Z-AATD patients are particularly prone to bacterial infection and colonization through…
Primary: to analyze serum samples of adult EoE patients for IgE reactivity to recombinant allergens of common foods.Secondary: to demonstrate the presence of ILC2 in periferal blood of adult patients with eosinophilic esophagitis Tertiary: To store…
Primary Objective: The main objective is to gain insight into the functional and structural neural correlates of success in foreign language learning. To this end, fMRI and DTI data will be acquired together with behavioral responses from healthy…
Aim of this study is to investigate the clinical performance of two restoration techniques, making use of 'direct' and an 'indirect' composite restorations as a minimal invasive intervention in patients with severe tooth wear.…
Identification of the molecular and cellular muscular mechanisms associated with aging in rotator cuff muscles with radiological quantification and clinical data.
Investigate whether switch from a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)- or protease inhibitor (PI)-based regimen to a raltegravir-based regimen results in reduced platelet reactivity, reduced platelet-leukocyte aggregate formation…
In the current study we will apply the Elfitor and collect its derived parameters during nociceptive stimulation in healthy volunteers without and with the administration of a low-dose opioid analgesic. Our study aim is to assess whether the various…
To see if the new drug can prevent development of psoriatic changes in the transplant model of psoriasis
This pilot is meaned to obtain:- experience and understanding in the presence of new embolic load in the brain by means of DW-MRI- Understanding in the number of patients in which probably the post-operative DW-MRI can not be done according to…
We will perform a study to describe the echogenicity of the substantia nigra, red nucleus and brainstem raphe in PD patients with and without RLS, RLS patients without PD and healthy controls. The echogenicity will be correlated with the the serum…
