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
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.
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.
Determine whether feedback by means of motivational gaming can (partially) restore cognition-related deviations in motor performance as seen in back challenging conditions in CLBP patients.
Objective: The main objective is to test the preference for sweet and saltwater solutions in infants that started weaning exclusively with fruit or with vegetables. Acceptance of sweet and salt intensity is compared between the fruit and vegetable…
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 is to establish whether prefrontal compensatory mechanisms during working-memory performance may be enhanced by working-memory training, both in healthy older adults and MCI patients. The secondary objective is to establish age…
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…
The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that susceptibility to and severity of certain infectious and inflammatory diseases can be explained by the interaction between the genome, microbiome and immunological responses: i.e. presence of…
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 main objective of this pilot study is to determine the effects of vascular access construction on autonomic and cardiac function.
The major research objective is to examine if acute exercise results in a more pronounced increase in acetylcarnitine concentration in sedentary subjects compared to endurance-trained subjects and if the exercise-induced increase in acetylcarnitine…
The objective of the current proposal is to further explore the pathophysiological changes that occur in patient with an IGSF1 mutation, using an established method for assessing hormone secretory characteristics.
We hypothesize a lung*protective mechanical ventilation using lower tidal volumes during general anesthesia for minimally invasive transthoracic esophagectomy to protect against postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing minimally…
In this study, we will prospectively assess the association between serum CK and response to standard antihypertensive drugs (calcium blockers or monotherapy with other antihypertensive drugs according to the policy of the general practitioner).
to find evidence for frontal inhibition during planning of explicit movements just as seen in patients with conversion disorders.
In the present study the prevalence of and risk factors for vitamin D deficiency will be determined in a patient population with a fracture in the upper or lower extremity.
