The primary objective of the study is as follows:· To compare the rate of asthma exacerbations between patients with low baseline periostin levels (< 50 ng/mL) and patients with high baseline periostin levels (* 50 ng/mL), as measured by…
Objective:The aim of our study is to obtain a collection of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas that is well characterized for relevant clinical parameters, including follow-up.
Single Ring Optical Catheter illumination study in patients with obstructive Sleep Apnea during DISE
Primary objective of the study is to create one or multiple light ring(s) in the upper airway of OSA patients by means of Single Ring Optical Catheter(s), visualize and record these light rings with a DISE endoscope, capture the change of light ring…
Primary Objective(s):Find the best 2 or 3 step strategy for screening of OSAS in a Dutch employee population to optimize a large scale screening program. Home PSG with the ALICE PDX, combined with answers on sleepiness, is the gold standard. This…
The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of late-onset inherited Pompe disease in a large cohort of patients with recently diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in two different centres across Europe.
We want to determine if epiglottic downfolding leads to a better view of the glottis and more successful intubations. We also want to investigate if this comes at the cost of more postoperative sore throat, dysphonia, dysphagia and coughing…
1. To assess prevalence of SAS in a Dutch chronic heart failure (CHF) population. 2. To assess whether there are group differences between CHF-patients without SAS and CHF-patients with SAS (OSAS and CSAS). 3. To assess the validity of the ApneaLink…
To identify biomarkers associated with OSA in bariatric surgery patients prior to surgery; to investigate the effect of bariatric surgery on these with OSA associated biomarkers; to identify biomarkers that predict amelioration of OSA after…

Measuring the space on the right side of the videolaryngoscope blade and the palatopharyngeal wall in a cohort of ASA I-III patients with a normal mouth opening (Mallampati I, II and III). We also want to investigate how this space differs from the…
The clinical response will be measured in allergic and non-allergic rhinitis patients and healthy participants. This will be done by means of symptom scores: visual analogue score (VAS) and rhinitis symptome score (RSS) and by means of measuring…
