Primary objectiveTo identify specific genes in the NO pathway that are turned on or off by inactivity. The results will disclose key-genes in the NO pathway relevant for vascular adaptations. Secondary objectiveTo correlate functional vascular…
To assess the influence of dosing guided by AutoK on achieving PK targets and clinical endpoints in intensive care patients with sepsis.
The purpose of the study is to test whether a centre-wide policy of incremental antibiotic therapy will reduce arrhythmia device infection in patients undergoing arrhythmia device procedures compared to a policy of conventional antibiotic…
Primary objective: The primary objective of the study is to determine the effect of oral dipyridamole treatment on the innate immune response induced by a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Various pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines will be…
Primary objective: To determine the effect of hyperbilirubinemia on systemic activation of the innate immune response induced by a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Secondary Objective(s): - To determine if hyperbilirubinemia shifts the pro-anti…
The primary objective of this project is to test the hypothesis that CRT exerts beneficial effects on the microcirculation by recruitment of capillaries. The secondary objective is to compare the microcirculatory with the hemodynamic parameters and…
The primary objective of the study is to determine concentration of circulation cytokines na administration of LPS in the presence of iron sucrose (Venofer®), Deferasirox (Exjade®) of placebo.
The primary objective of the study is to determine the effect of atazanavir-induced hyperbilirubinemia on systemic activation of the innate immune response induced by human endotoxemia.Secondary objectives are:- To determine if the vascular…
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…
We aim to study the vasoactive effects of Acetylcholine (NO dependent) in hypertensive patients and normotensive participants. Second, the correlation between the vasoreactivity of Acetylcholine and Angiotensin II will be studied. Third, the…
Dividing the study population in four categories (oncological patients, critically ill patients admitted to intensive care, neonates and other children) answers to the following questions are sought:- which initial dosage regimen for vancomycin…
With this study we will investiagate the superiority of fecal clysma therapy (n=34 patients) above conventional therapy with the antibiotic vancomycin (n=34 patients) or bowellavage with conventional antibiotic therapy (n=34 patients).
Does antagonism of the adenosine receptor by caffeine lead to an increased LPS-induced inflammatory reaction and an increase in (subclinical) tissuedamage?Does the C34T-polymorphism of the enzyme AMP-deaminase lead to a decreased inflammatory…
Primary objective: To study the pharmacokinetics of gentamicin, tobramycin, vancomycin and ciprofloxacin in morbidly obese patients and compare with normal weight patients. Secondary objectives: To assess the influence of covariates (such as TBW,…
The hypothesis is that a switch from intravenous to oral antimicrobial therapy is non-inferior to standard intravenous therapy in patients with low-risk SAB. Therefore, the primary objective of the trial is to demonstrate, that oral switch therapy (…
The primary objectives are to determine the inhibitory effect of intravenously administered C1-inhibitor as well as the influence of depletion of the human microbiota on allergic lung inflammation induced by house dust mite (HDM) plus…
Primary• Evaluate the efficacy of 8 weeks of treatment with VE202 in terms of endoscopic response at Day 56 • Evaluate the safety of VE202 in Part 1 and Part 2 of the study Secondary objectiveSecondary objective1. Evaluate the safety of VE202 in…
To determine whether 4 weeks of total antibiotic treatment duration is non-inferior to 6 weeks in patients with complicated SAB who have responded well to the initial treatment.
