Colchicine admission attenuates inflammatory response of monocytes and neutrophils stimulated with MSU crystals, isolated from patients with chronic coronary artery disease after colchicine 0.5mg daily during one month, compared to placebo
Using the model of lipid-induced insulin resistance we will study the hypothesis that pre-treatment with salsalate (salicylsalicylic acid) blunts the development of lipid-induced insulin resistant in an I*B/NF*B dependent manner in healthy human…
A. What are possible causes of MP and what patients variable are asssociated with MP. What is the natural course and prognosis of MP. What is the influence of MP on the quality of life.B. What is the diagnostic value of SSEP en nerve conduction…
Main study:1. Does blockade of the angiotensin II AT1-receptor improve the insulin-induced microvascular effects in hypertensive patients.2. Does blockade of the angiotensin II AT1-receptor impair the insulin-induced mi-crovascular effects in…
To determine the incidence and grade of venous emboli and/or paradoxical gas emboli during hysteroscopy surgery using TOE. In addition, a comparison will be made using either bipolar or monopolar diathermia. Knowing the incidence and severity of…
Study ObjectiveTo determine whether alprazolam, a registered anxiolytic non-selective benzodiazepine, can reduce the autonomic temperature increase induced with social stress in healthy men. Secondary objectives are to determine whether alprazolam…
Primary Objective: What is the frequency of positive patch test reactions to the 26 declarable fragrance allergens in fragrance mix I and/or II positive participants?Secondary Objectives: Do Weleda cosmetic products containing essential oils,…
Project 1: To investigate the neuroanatoimical correlates of attentional processing bias in nicotine addicts, using fMRI.Project 2: To examine whether attentional biases are dependent on dopaminergic transmission in the mesolimbic system using…
The aim of this research is to determine the effect of glucose in the small intestine on the secretion of hormones, appetite related feelings and food intake, and whether these effects differ between time of day (morning vs evening) and segment of…
Primary Objective: To investigate the effect of supplementation of a single high dose of vitamin D (400.000 IU) on 1. the percentage of neutrophils in induced sputum, in non-atopic asthmatic patients with neutrophilic airway inflammation (…
We hypothesize that local AMPs expression in the airways of patients with asthma is decreased as a result of allergic inflammation. Furthermore, we hypothesize that local AMP expression can partly be restored by vitamin D substitution therapy. We…
To determine the efficacy of oral supplementation with vitamin B12 and folic acid in the prevention of fractures.
· To determine therapeutic efficacy of Tracleer in patients with active Behcet disease. Furthermore:· To study cytokine and immunological patterns and ET-1levels in those patients.
Assess whether APL180 can improve endothelial function in patients with Familial hypercholesterolemia
To investigate whether impairments of shifting between response sets underlie motor freezing in PD and to investigate the efficacy and the neural mechanism by which MPH improves gait and cognition in PD patients with FOG.
This proposal centers on hormone-behavior dynamics in paternal caregiving, with the goal of gaining a better understanding of the development of human paternal caregiving. There is limited information on the hormonal basis of caregiving patterns in…
To investigate the effects of colesevelam (bile acid sequestrant) on bile acid composition, glucose metabolism and composition of faecal flora in patients with an impaired glucose tolerance or newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes
To study the possible beneficial effect of simvastatin on accumulation of triglycerides in the myocardium of patients with DM2 and the effect on vessel wall thickness using magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy
