In this prospective observational cohort study we aim to study the potential clinical consequences of antibiotic use in early life, by focussing on the incidence of eczema, as well as food allergy, upper respiratory tract infections (URTI), lower…
The STEM study presented here aims to increase our knowledge of the most common intestinal, gastric and liver epithelial diseases with the ultimate goal to treat these disorders. Particularly, children that have severe malfunction of their…
The goal of this study is to collect a large cohort of patients mainly with NSHI. In the study cohort, the genetic causes underlying the NSHI will be determined which can be either in known or novel deafness genes. Also, the clinical characteristics…
2. STUDY OBJECTIVESSpecific Aim 1. To determine whether Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy is associated with hyper reactivity of the neurohormonal and cardiovascular systems. Hypothesis 1: Patients with a clinical history of Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy have…
Our primary objective is to investigate the development of structural and functional connectivity in autism and ADHD in comparison to the typical development of connectivity. A secondary objective is to investigate the effects of ADHD and autism…
We will examine the activation status of platelets, the content of platelet granules, and activation of de novo synthesis of mitogenic proteins during and after a partial liver resection in patients with a malign or benign tumor including distant…
Our primary objective is to identify the brain networks involved in tremor generation in homogeneous groups of ET patients. In addition we will investigate the differences on a behavioral level during goal-directed movements between ET subgroups and…
The primary objective of this study is to explore if (and which) HIV-specific CTL responses shorten the lifespan of productively infected cells in HIV-infected individuals. This will be accomplished by investigating the estimated life spans of…
The primary objective is to generate genome-wide miRNA profiles of patient material (tissue samples and blood). The secondary objectives are to compare miRNA expression profiles to investigate what role differences in miRNA expression have in the…
Primary objective: To evaluate the insulin sensitivity measured with Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) in obese children and adolescents 3 years after diagnosis of insulin resistance.Secondary objectives:1. To evaluate the…
To determine the difference in secondary caries lesion development in tooth samples with simulated restorations from different restorative materials and to relate this to the microbial composition and acid production capacity of biofilm taken from…
The overall goal of this research is to study whether online game addiction is related to deficiencies in the brain areas associated with behavioral inhibition: the dorsal prefrontal cortex, inferior frontal cortex and anterior cingulate.
The principal aim of this study is to elucidate the role of the glycocalyx in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia by assessing: - Whether the glycocalyx is affected in pre-eclampsia and is related to its severity.- Whether glycocalyx perturbation is…
The aim of our project is in-depth characterization of the microbiota components both adjacent to and within the mucosa in patients with IBD, by applying novel high-throughput analysis technology in a global description strategy approach.…
Primary objectives:1. To determine the effect of the use of a tailored intervention protocol (regarding reduced antimicrobial use, improving hygiene and changing the animal contact structure) on pig and veal farms on the degree of antimicrobial…
The objectives of this proposal are twofold. First, we intend to test the feasibility of the new concurrent fMRI/TMS setup on real brains of a small group of healthy volunteers. That is, can we indeed evoke fMRI BOLD responses in several functional…
This project aims to study how changes in serotonin alter interpersonal functioning in adults with or without a first degree family member diagnosed with MDD. The primary goal is to investigate the effect of experimentally lowered brain serotonin…
The primary objective is to gain insight into the causative mechanisms of exertional dyspnea in HFPEF. We hypothesize that exercise induced pulmonary hypertension plays a significant role in the development of complaints. The secondary objectives…
The primary objective is to elucidate the question whether historic HBV viral load (in samples taken from 1989 * 1996 during pregnancy) is associated with the risk of HBV-related cirrhosis or mortality in a cohort of non-Asian individuals with…
We aim to investigate whether pulsatile flow in patients subjected to CPB preserves postoperative microcirculatory perfusion by prevention of a prothrombogenic profile and endothelial activation as are both present under non-pulsatile flow…
