The aim of this project is to evaluate the clinical value of biomarkers in adult patients with pulmonary hypertension, in particular:1) To quantify biomarkers of neurohormonal activity as NTproBNP, endotheline-1 and of immunological activity as CRP…
Our primary objectives are to determine the diagnostic accuracy of handheld RCM in the diagnosing and subtyping of BCC in the head and neck compared to punch biopsy, and evaluate the associated rate of over- and understaging of BCC subtypes. In…
Primary Objective To describe how patients experience the first eight weeks after shoulder arthroplasty, regarding pain and pain medication, shoulder function and quality of life. To determine the direct effect of patients' expectations on…
This multicentre randomised controlled trial aims to investigate whether PoCUS can be used as an adjunct to improve first attempt success rate in closed reductions of displaced distal radial fractures in adults in the ED.
To establish the diagnostisch accuracy of ultrasound for the exclusion of fracture of the elbow
We hypothesize that sleep apnea screening, using a combination of an online questionnaire and high resolution overnight oximetry, can safely be applied to exclude sleep apnea with high sensitivity (≥97%) and acceptable specificity (≥60%) in patients…
Point of care testing with Fcal POCT will reduce substantial the referral rate of children with chronic GI symptoms to the paediatrician.
To identify whether a short axis approach (SAA) or a long axis approach (LAA) to ultrasound guided peripheral cannulation is superior when performed by ED nurses without prior ultrasound experience.
Development of new imaging techniques for MR-guided motion management in the presence of respiratory motion
This study is designed to gather prospective data on a) the clinical effectiveness, b) the tissue structure changes, and c) the short term costs of ankle joint distraction (AJD) in 10 patients with HAA during 10 years follow-up.
Establishing efficacy and safety of the electrodes and implantable pulse generators (IPGs), which are used for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
To study patients with clinically suspect arthralgia in order to 1) develop diagnostic/prognostic markers (a. markers of systemic and b. local inflammation as well as c. autoantibodies) for the development of RA 2) to improve the mechanistic…
1A) To implement a screening-protocol for HIV related co-morbidities and their risk factors, based on multidisciplinary expert consultation, in a large HIV outpatient clinic and among an HIV-uninfected control group.1B) To assess the prevalence and…
The primary objective of this study is to establish molecular profiles in lower rectal biopsies as close to the internal fistula orifice tissue and fistula scrapings based on single cell RNA sequencing, cellular protein expression by CyTOF and…
Objective: This protocol describes a framework that will be used to create different studies. The general primary and secondary objectives of this protocol are stated below:Primary objective: Investigate the effect of surgery on the position and…
To evaluate whether we can determine the health status of the joint by measuring biomarker levels using a newly developed assay by the University of Twente based on the multiplex measurement of a panel of relevant biomarkers using Surface Plasmon…
Primary Objective: 1. To compare total testosterone levels between male CCH and ECH patients and healthy controls To compare total testosterone levels in males with ECH during remission (remission ECH) and during an active…
The primary objective of this clinical Research is: • The objective of the study is to investigate concept and feasibility of view automation for SHD interventions. The study will explore the contribution of (semi) automatic views based procedural…
The primary objective is to investigate if the stress-induced dynamics across stress systems are impaired in patients with CT-related depression compared to non-CT-related depression and healthy controls. The secondary objective is to examine how…
The first aim of this study is to use an in vitro approach using patient's derived material to accurately and rapidly predict the optimal therapeutic approach that will predict a good clinical response in individual patients…
