A fundamental question in the current research proposal concerns how changes in cognitive and social-emotional behavior are related to functional and anatomical brain development. The current proposal has the objective to (a) understand the neural…
To relate exposure markers of EDCs to health outcomes in children - in particular obesity and neurobehavioral disorders -, effect biomarkers, and other parameters via multiple regression and multivariate analysis, while taking into account relevant…
If the study shows that the treatment with a sling gives an earlier return to normal function en does not give a clinically significant difference in pain experience compared to cast therapy than the traditional treatment can be adjusted. We aim at…
Study 1 is aimed to describe normative trajectories of parenting efficacy from pregnancy to early parenthood. Study 2 is focused on the question whether mental representations of attachment are protective in the context of parenting stress and its…
Our long-range goal is to develop a comprehensive, clinically and cost effective treatment for BPD that produces both symptom remission and functional recovery. We aim to determine the role that group ST can have in the comprehensive treatment of…
Objective:The aim of our study is to obtain a collection of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas that is well characterized for relevant clinical parameters, including follow-up.
