Our first goal is collecting high quality raw EEG waves, - measured simultaneously on multiple locations of the brain - during a pharmacological reproducible anesthesia. The goal is to observe EEG patterns that allow the development of technology to…
The study consists of two phases. In the first phase, we aim to investigate whether the dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) genotype confers differential susceptibility to the effects of early life stress on empathy and prosocial behavior more generally in…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the immediate effect of xenon inhalation on cardiac performance in patients scheduled for CABG surgery in comparison with the effect induced by sevoflurane inhalation.
To investigate the effects of galantamine on cognitive impairment and visual hallucinations in Parkinson`s disease, both therapeutic (direct effect) and preventive (protection against an acute increase of dopaminergic medication used by the patient…
The objective of this study is to determine if patients without heart failure receiving Sevoflurane have a different myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and/or systemic inflammatory response than patients who do not receive Sevoflurane.
Aim of this study is to determine the effect of isoflurane versus sevoflurane on blood pressure and systemic vascular resistance.
The primary objective of this trial is to determine whether different types of anaesthesia [regional versus general] given to infants undergoing inguinal hernia repair result in equivalent neurodevelopmental outcomes. Secondary objectives are to…
To compare the renal protective properties of two currently used anaesthetic techniques - a sevoflurane-remifentanil/sufentanil combination with a propofol-remifentanil/sufentanil combination for anaesthesia in patients undergoing living donor…
To replicate and extend the findings of the recent methylphenidate study in which methylphenidate was found to enhance episodic memory performance; To explore whether this effect of methylphenidate is primarily mediated by its dopaminergic action.
to assess whether a single-dose of levodopa improves cognitive symptoms and balances goal-directed and habitual behavior.
The aim of this study is to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying altered social performance monitoring from a pharmacological perspective by directly comparing the effects of dopamine and oxytocin on individual and social…
Primary Objective: To study whether the pulse oximeter functionality of the wearable ear sensor is able to reliably measure oxygen saturation, pulse rate, and respiratory rate in a clinical (postoperative) setting.Secondary Objective(s): To evaluate…
To compare the effect of a sevoflurane based anesthesia versus a propofol based anesthesia on acute rejection and outcome in recipients of living, DCD and DBD donor kidneys.
This is a medical-scientific research study. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of multiple doses of the study compound BIA 28-6156 on the pharmacokinetics of the drugs levodopa-carbidopa (Group 1) and levodopa-benserazide (Group…
The main objectives of this study are to determine the accuracy of the device (1) to determine functional oxygen saturation (SpO2) compared to a reference device, and (2) to determine respiratory rate compared to visual observations. As a secondary…
The main objective of this study is to validate the accuracy of the device to monitor the physical activity of a subject by comparing the measured values to the golden standard (video recording).
To investigate whether early treatment with levodopa has a delayed beneficial effect on PD symptoms and functional health, and improves the ability to (maintain) work, reduces the use of (informal) care, caregiver burden, and costs. Additionally,…
To assess the concurrent validity of the FastFocus* Vital Sign Monitoring System classification algorithm that discriminates between lying, sitting/standing, and walking activities, and detects number of walking steps in hospitalised patients under…
