The aim of this study is to compare the effect of a postoperativenegative pressure dressing (Prevena (TM) IMS) with a standardwound dressing (care as usual) in clean closed surgical wounds on the prevention of wounddehiscence in low riks and high…
To see whether C. burnetii is able to induce epigenetic changes in monocytes, resulting in a more distinct pro-inflammatory response to re-stimulation with viral particles, to see whether these changes are present in circulating monocytes of QFS…
The main objective of this study is to compare the hamstring muscle strength deficit after AMP and TLS reconstruction techniques.
We aim to investigate the amount of patients who have lasting benefit from such surgery, and which proportion eventually get recurrent symptoms. We are going to investigate the cohort which has previously been studied by our group (protocol Dr.…
To study the efficiency of visual information processing in patients with retinal disorders.
Primary Objective: To investigate whether differences exist in muscle function, muscle energy metabolism and cardiorespiratory fitness in CML patients with muscle complaints, compared to CML patients without muscle complaints, and controls (non-CML…
Lynch-related tumors mostly develop in the ascending right side of the colon (70-85%). Strikingly, it was recently discovered that dense bacterial biofilms and invasive bacteria occur in the colonic mucosa of 87% of right-sided colorectal cancer (…
To analyse serum sodium concentration, serum osmolarity and arterial bloodgas at different times before and after administration of HTK solution, to get more insight of the impact of this solution on these biochemical parameters and to improve our…
Hypothesis: gaseous signaling molecules influence placental vasomotor activity to compensate for hypoxemia. Metabolites of these vasoactive molecules can be found in the blood and urine and can indicate whether this (compensatory) mechanism is used…
The main objective is to investigate the preparatory process in left primary motor cortex in relation to hand choice during whole-body motion.
The main objective is to investigate the additional value of CRP-POCT (C-reactive protein point-of-care-test) testing in patients suspected of airway infections in long-term care facilities.
The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate decellularized homograft for aortic valve replacement (ARISE AV) rates in comparison to current valve substitutes within a large prospective multicentre surveillance at 6 leading European Centres for…
Area of interest (study setting): Specific aims:Transient triggers and chronic riskfactors (case-crossover and casecontrol)(1) To investigate frequency and strength of association between transient physical andpsychological triggers and early-onset…
To investigate whether long-term activation of the innate immune system, named *trained innate immunity*, occurs at the level of the bone marrow progenitor cells in patients with significant coronary artery disease and whether this correlates with…
The following research questions will be addressed in two different studies:1. Do addicted patients with high scores on psychopathy have reduced empathic concern associated with reduced LPP amplitude and mu-suppression during an empathy task? 2. Are…
The aim of our project is to perform a novel mass screening to detect CD in 12 months-4 years old children who visit the YHCCs in a well-described region in the Netherlands, to show that it is feasible, efficient, cost-effective and well accepted by…
Examining the hypothesis that patients with ACL deficiency and patients with ACL reconstructions, despite comparable force-reproduction capacities with the affected, dominant right leg, have a significant altered EEG Theta-activity in the motor…
To characterize phenotypical parameters, cytokine production and epigenetic characteristics of monocytes in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2, stratified according to antidiabetic treatment regime. Ex vivo exploration of the conditions which…
The main objective of this study is to investigate whether a long lasting pro-inflammatory phenotype, the characteristic of trained immunity, is present in circulating monocytes of patients with severe periodontal disease and whether this correlates…
To investigate whether enhanced expression of growth factor receptors (FGF-R, PDGF-R and VEGF-R) and increasedvascular cell proliferation in the lung of IPF or PAH patients can be assessed using [11C]-Nintedanib or [18F]-FLTPET/CT imaging.
