Targeted Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) can distinguish benign pancreatic diseases, such as pancreatitis, from pancreatic malignancies during the diagnostic proces of patients with an uncertain diagnosis and treatment plan.
The carotid artery reactivity-test will have independent prognostic value compared to the current, standard prognostic tests (i.e. ankle-brachial-index, walking distance) for patients with peripheral artery disease
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a brain disease, in which myelin sheaths in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. If repair of myelin damage is incomplete, nerve terminals will be irreversibly destroyed, leading to neurological symptoms. Ineffective…
Enhanced endoscopic imaging, including high-definition white light endoscopy and virtual chromoendoscopy, alongside targeted biopsies provides an accurate and reproducible assessment of chronic atrophic gastritis disease extent and staging, when…
Liver and adipose tissue levels as well as serum levels of RBP4 are higher in obese subjects compared to lean subjects. In obese subjects tissue and serum levels of RPB4 are correlated with insulin sensitivity and hepatic triglyceride content.
We hypothesize that: 1. Elderly in each of the intervention neighbourhoods will have more favorable outcomes: A. Elderly living in neighbourhoods were the both physical and social environmental changes are made will have the most favorable outcomes…

Insomnia patients form a heterogeneous group, each phenotypes of insomnia will show different therapeutic demands.
There is no reliable biological marker for the diagnosis of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), so AMS is presently assessed with questionnaires: the Lake Louise self-report score (LLSRS) and the abbreviated Environmental Symptoms Questionnaire (ESQc).…
The aim of the study is the assessment of microcirculatory alterations induced by xenon or sevoflurane anesthesia in patients with compromised left ventricular systolic function.
1. Oncologist non-verbal behavior impacts on breast cancer patients' trust; 2. A high amount of eye contact, a patient-oriented posture and regular smiling induce higher trust than low amounts of eye contact, distant posture and a lack of…
It is expected that, for each of the three CBM paradigms, participants in the intervention conditions will show a greater decrease in weekly alcohol use than participants in the control conditions. Generalization of each specific CBM paradigm to…
We expect brain activity and brain reactivity to change as satiation progresses. ROI are : Brainstem (dorsal vagal complex (DVC), nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), parabrachial nucleus (PBN)), Hypothalamus, Insula, overlying operculum, secondary:…
The use of ECLS can lead to systemic inflammatory response. It is likely that ECLS affects red blood cell and platelet function after its initiation, the time course of these changes and their clinical relevance is yet unclear.
Can imaging surveillance frequency be safely reduced in a select group of EVAR patients, i.e. patients with an asymptomatic infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) that underwent EVAR without abnormalities on the initial postoperative CTA.
Neuropsychiatric symptoms (e.g. apathy, depression, anxiety, agitation) are very common in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and are negatively related to various clinical outcomes. However, despite growing…
Information on the dynamics and shape of the device and how these change over time will improve our understanding about the fixation and/or sealing of the device, which may help in stent selection and in designing stent grafts that are more durable.
We hypothesize that anxiety symptoms worsen after follow-up imaging compared to patients baseline anxiety levels.
