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…
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…
Determine whether temozolomide given during radiation therapy followed by the combination of temozolomide and CCNU as adjuvant therapy results in an improvement in event-free survival compared to historical control cohorts.To further assess the…
Primary Objective is to study the anti-tumor activity of the combination bevacizumab and metronomic dose temozolomide in patients with recurrent high grade gliomas. Secondary Objective is to investigate the effects of dexamethasone and bevacizumab…
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 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 determine if dose-intensifying the adjuvant temozolomide component of the chemoradiation treatment enhances treatment efficacy as measured by overall survival.
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…
