The main objective of this study is to explore two novel MRI techniques to characterize myocardial properties that are expected to be useful for the diagnosis of various forms of cardiomyopathy. Furthermore, we will explore whether different stages…
The main objective of the study is to document cardiovascular dysfunction found in rheumatoid arthritis and gout patients using cardiac imaging techniques echocardiography and cardiac MRI.
Identification of the proteins that are involved in neurite outgrowth in PDR. We want to determine what protein levels are increased in the vitreous by local production and which RNA transcripts are present in the fibrotic membranes of patients with…
The proposed study aims to develop a prediction rule for response to biological treatment in RA (i.e. effectiveness and adverse events). Guidelines for treating the disease with biologicals using the (derived) prediction rules will be defined. To…
The goal of the planned studies is to determine the significance of afferent and efferent motor processes in facial expressions that may impact evaluative judgments or responses induced by linguistic and pictorial representations of facial…
To assess microglial activation in first episode patients with psychotic symptoms and first episode medication naïve patients with psychotic symptoms compared to healthy controls using the positron emission tomography (PET) tracer [11C]-R-PK11195.
To investigate whether children with OI who use a wheelchair (for long distances) can reliably perform a valid shuttle ride test in order to assess the levels of health-related fitness in this group.
Primary Objective: What are the consequences of irradiation for the human jaw bone and oral mucosa on a macroscopic, microscopic and molecular level?Can possible prognostic factors be identified for the occurrence of peri-implantitis, dental implant…
Primary Objective:Proof of concept study designed to document the safety and feasibility of adjuvant treatment with the PICSO Impulse system in patients with acute anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary PCI…
The first line of research encompasses the frequency, severity, and (dis)similarities of perceptual and attentional impairments in near and far space. Differential impairments of near and far space processing are more likely to be found when spatial…
The principal aim of this project is to identify genetic biomarkers involved in susceptibility for drug-induced liver injury in a set of candidate genes (genes relevant to metabolism of drugs and immune system genes).The results of this study will…
Primary ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of a tailored behavioral change intervention comprising CBT and physical activity on participation (as measured by the DM1-Activ scale) for severely fatigued patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 compared to…
The main goal of this study is to recruit and obtain magnetic resonance images in a large sample of bipolar patients and controls from the Netherlands, in order to find brain abnormalities specific for bipolar disorder. We will also perform genetic…
To investigate what the ideal moment to vaccinate would be, early (after 2-6 months) or late (after 9-12 months) after cessation of rituximab. Secondly to study the immune-response to vaccination with influenza virus vaccine after treatment with…
The main aim of the present study is to improve our understanding of the role of blood-brain barrier function and cerebral perfusion in dementia of the Alzheimer*s type.
This study will answer the question if (repeated) abdominal amnioninfusion after midtrimester PPROM with associated oligohydramnios improves perinatal survival and prevents pulmonary hypoplasia and other neonatal morbidities. Moreover, it will…
Theoretically the anatomical reconstruction technique should give better results in rotational stability due to a more anatomical placement of the ACL-graft. Though it is difficult to test this correlating to functional outcome, because in current…
Part I of the study: I) to determine if one or a batch of aging marker(s) is/are associated with the presence of objectively diagnosed COPD related co-morbidity (muscle wasting, osteoporosis, cardiovascular risk, glucose intolerance, renal failure,…
1. Evaluation of gene-expression profiles of endometria of PCOS women compared to normal ovulatory women2. Identify genes and pathways which contribute to a high rate of miscarriages of PCOS women3. Identify genes and pathways related to the high…
Objectives: 1. To investigate the types of antitrombin deficiency in these families2. To find the mutations in our families/patients with antitrombin deficiency.3. To establish the risk of VTE due to these mutations and subtypes.(comparing…
