The main point of this study is to detect in a controlled fashion if there is a relationship between CCSVI and MS. We focus on 5 parameters indicative of CCSVI: 1-reflux in the internal jugular vein (IJV) or in the vertebral vein (VV), or both with…
The objective is determine the correlation between the outcome of the cultures of the nasopharyngeal swab, the nose swab, the swab from a handkerchief and the handkerchief.
To determine the effects of biphosphonates on radiation induced microvascular damage in the skin of breast cancer patients by comparing skin biopsies taken prior to and 4 months after treatment with a biphosphonate.
Understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms that play a role in liver cirrhosis and its complications. For that aim, we want to study the functional and morphological intestinal epithelial barrier and microbiota of both small and large intestine…
Main objective: 1) To investigate whether BAT activity differs between South Asians and Caucasians.Secondary objectives: 1) To investigate whether sympatic stimulation of BAT differs between South Asians and Caucasians2) To investigate the…
W want to investigate the influence of a mutaion in the MH allel on the HPV and the normal reaction of MH patients to hypoxia
The main aim of this research is to search for sensitive and specific QEEG markers to differentiate between children with a developmental disorder, in this case ADHD and ASD, and a control group and to differentiate between these two developmental…
Primary objectives:1. To determine image quality and diagnostic accuracy of CE-MRV using a new, optimized high resolution 3D T1 weighted volume interpolated gradient echo sequence with fat suppression (THRIVE) with both a blood pool and a…
To fully characterize skeletal muscle strength and endurance, phenotype and muscle fiber type-specific satellite cell content in frail elderly as compared to those elderly that do not classify as frail according to clinical criteria.
Is it possible to reconstruct intraoperative left ventricular end-systolic pressure-volume relations from a combination of non-invasive finger arterial blood pressure measurements and transoesophageal echocardiography in patients undergoing surgery?
The objective of the study is to quantify endurance and respiratory function in subjects with MPS IV A and to better characterize the spectrum of symptoms and biochemical abnormalities in MPS IV A disease over time.
Intermittent neurogenic claudication due to lumbar stenosis is frequently diagnosed among older persons. Due to an aging population it is to be expected the incidence of lumbar stenosis will increase over time. Patients are operated on because of…
The objective of this study is to assess whether or not apical surgery that is carried out with the help of a microscope has a higher success rate than apical surgery without the use of a microscope. No RCT is found in present literature (Del Fabbro…
Here we propose that in order to identify causal mechanisms that explain AD/HD-related heterogeneity, an integrative approach is needed. Therefore, in this project we will study the interaction between motivation and executive function in AD/HD and…
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of - short vs. long - oro-sensory exposure combined with a gastric load - low vs. high in energy -, on gastric emptying rate. As secondary outcome we want to investigate the effect of…
Objective of the study:Investigating with use of the classical coagulation tests on one hand and with the ROTEM on the other hand what is exactly becoming disturbed in the coagulaton because of bleeding during surgery of the aorta abdominalis,…
Morphological and functional changes of the median nerve after neurolysis for carpal tunnel syndrome
The objectives of this study are twofold:1. To describe morphological and functional changes of the median nerve after neurolysis using US and NCS. 2. To correlate the morphological and functional changes to the clinical symptoms and signs
The primary objective will be to assess whether cerebrovascular reactivity is impaired in patients with steno-occlusive disease of the vertebrobasilar artery .
PrimaryTo investigate sensitivity and specificity of 3.0 Tesla MRI and MRS for dimension and composition assessment of carotid artery plaques, in particularly those plaques with lipid rich necrotic cores (LRNC), with the aim to develop these…
The main objective of this pilot study is to determine the effects of vascular access construction on autonomic and cardiac function.
