The proposed study has two objectives. First, we will examine the neural mechanisms of aversive responding to infant cries in healthy female subjects. We will compare participants who showed high cardiovascular responses to infant cries with…
To evaluate whether GH substitution in patients with an isolated GHD after TBI could reverse the severity of symptoms which characterize GHD.
In this study we focus on behavior in response to different infant signals, including crying as well as smiling. More specifically we investigate the behavioral differences of an individual towards different infants who are either perceived as happy…
With the proposed study we want to gain insight into the neaural mechanisms underlying (the development of) shame-proneness and fear of failure. We want to investigate whether the administration of oxytocin modulates effects of love withdrawal and…
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of individualizing the growth hormone dose versus standard treatment with 1 mg/m2/day on adult height. Secondly, we want to assess the first and five year growth response, the long term…
Primary objective: Assessment of the value of the short-term (2 weeks) response of IGF-I (peak IGF-I SDS) to GH in a dosage of 1.4 mg/m2/day (as part of a dose-escalation IGF-I generation test) in comparison to baseline IGF-I to predict the 1 year…
The primary objective is to determine the yield of prostate cells in the urine specimen after oxytocin nasal spray, using a urine specimen with no manipulation as a reference method.
In this study neural responses to infant crying will be measured with fMRI. In addition, the neural base of emotion understanding will be examined with fMRI. Participants will look at pictures of adults and infant and they have to infer the mental…
The primary aim of the study is to compare the performance of the standard oblique-viewing US endoscope versus a prototype forward viewing ultrasonic endoscope for EUS-FNA of solid lesions of the GI tract and of adjacent organs.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of individualizing the growth hormone dose versus standard treatment with 1 mg/m2/day on adult height and the first and five year growth response. Secondly, we want to assess the long term…
to evaluate the effects of GH versus withdrawal of GH, after final height is reached, on weight, body composition, psychosocial functioning, carbohydrate metabolism, circulating lipids, and respiratory function during transition period until the age…
The primary objective of this study is to assess the relation between the short term metabolic changes after start of rhGH therapy and the long term change in height SDS after one and two years of treatment. Secondly, we want to assess the effects…
To assess the impact of 7 daily subcutaneous gifts of GH on circulating Klotho levels in human sugjects with CKD stage III and healthy age-matched controls.
