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…
Systematic gathering of biomaterial and phenotypic data of IBD patients during clinical care provides assessment of molecular markers in the DNA, the transcriptome and proteome. The markers can be associated with the different disease phenotypes…
The study will address the feasibility of the shared decision-making (SDM) intervention by (1) analysing the acceptability of the intervention by users (i.e. professionals and patients); (2) assessing the level of implementation; (3) testing…
REE will be assessed using indirect calorimetry. Oxygen consumption (VO₂) and carbon dioxide production (VCO₂) will be measured. The respiratory quotient (RQ) will be derived from VO₂ and VCO₂. Body composition will be determined by…
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
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…
The overall aim of this strategy study is to directly compare the effectiveness of treatment with levetiracetam or valproic acid in glioma patients with de novo seizures. In addition, we aim to examine the level of toxicity, the impact of seizures…
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 compare the short-term toxicity of the conventional schedule of 25 x 2 Gy, once daily fractionation in a five-week Overall Treatment Time (OTT) to 14 x 3 Gy, once daily fractionation in a three-week OTT, with respect to the rate of postoperative…
In patients diagnosed with a hip fracture who also have acute myocardial injury on presentation to hospital, is accelerated surgery superior to standard care for the primary outcome of death at 90 days after randomization?
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…
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…
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?
To prospectively validate the safety and efficiency of management according to the YEARS algorithm to safely rule out clinically suspected PE in patients with active malignancy to be compared with `standard' management by CTPA alone in a…
