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…
Most patients undergoing spine surgery with pedicle screw instrumentation will experience insufficient pain relief in the first three days after surgery, whereafter postoperative pain can be managed with conventional, non-opioid analgesics in most…
Renal artery denervation (RDN) on top of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) will improve the success of ablative therapy for patients who have paroxysmal and/or persistent atrial fibrillation, with out of range hypertension (systolic >140 mmHg or…
The primary objective of this study is to determine patient perspective of and satisfaction with follow-up type and frequency after THA and TKA. Therefore, we will send surveys to patients who had a THA or TKA between 1 and 15 years ago.
Comparison of hearing preservation and outcome of two fundamentally different cochlear implants designs (LW or PM) and the two most used surgical approaches (RW or CO). Secondly, asses the structure preservation (i.e., scalar position) of each…
Development of new imaging techniques for MR-guided motion management in the presence of respiratory motion
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…
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of two distalisation techniques of a gastric bypass in revisional surgery with standardised limb lengths in total weight loss (TWL) and the need for treatment for protein calorie malnutrition (PCM…
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…
Does isolated cup revision surgery or liner exchange through the anterior approach result in increased functional status and higher patient satisfaction than through the posterolateral approach?
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…
Primary Objective: Primary: Gut microbiota (oral and fecal) and nasal microbiota composition in relation to autoimmunity status (antibodies (ANA, ANCA) and HLA subtype) and inflammatory functional assays as well as disease&…
1. To study the possibility to detect gynaecological malignancies and endometriosis in vaginal self-swabs, Pap smears and blood of women with gynaecological cancer or endometriosis, using MeD-seq and MeD-scan assays, in order to develop…
The primary objective is to evaluate longitudinal developmental changes in brain structure in patients aged 6-18 years with SCD. The secondary objective is to analyze the longitudinal relations between biomarkers, demographic characteristics, brain…
Primary objectives: - To examine how environmental exposures influence the prevalence, 5-year incidence and progression of cardiometabolic and chronic respiratory disease in the general population. - To determine the mediation effect of lifestyle…
The primary objective of the proposed research is to investigate in patients with PDD the efficacy of STN-DBS with best oral medical treatment (DBS-group) for disabling motor symptoms during off-drug phase compared to best oral medical treatment…
