The aim of this protocol is twofold. 1. Firstly, we aim to combine the new response monitoring method (PET imaging) with the present technique (dynamic CE-MRI imaging) in order to discriminate between favourable and unfavourable response of the…
1. In Barrett Esophagus (BE), probe-based laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) provides better correlation with the histological diagnosis compared to detailed inspection with Narrow Band Imaging (NBI), reducing the high rate of false-positive findings with…
Prevention of the progression of TMD to ML-DS by chemotherapeutical profylaxis can be possible.
Primary objective: To test whether mucosal oxygen saturation has added value to endoscopy and histological examination. Secondary objectives: 1. To test whether detection of hypoxia dependent molecular changes in the mucosa can be used to improve…
Does lipid accumulation in skeletal muscle and the heart effect mitochondrial function in relation to insulin resistance?
We will study which factors differ between the responders to oxygen therapy and the non-responders. Factors that will be studied are for instance patient characteristics, headache characterisics, comorbidities and intoxications.
Our primary hypothesis states that cognitive behavioral therapy will improve quality of life and amend illness cognitions and attitudes in IBD patients. Our secondary hypothesis states that improvements in quality of life are mediated by changes in…
Microarray: 1. To identify a tumour genetic profile that is associated with early metastatic spread in patients presenting with oesophageal cancer and no evidence of distant metastasis at the time of diagnosis; 2. To distinguish oesophageal cancer…

TSH can act on thymocytes to enhance T cell development.
1. What are characteristic (neuro)physiological factors of fatigue in disease-free cancer patients? 2. To which degree can these factors be influenced by Cognitive Behavior Therapy?
In patient with clinically suspected appendicitis, imaging is needed to substantiate the clinical diagnosis. Imaging accuracy of US and CT is suboptimal, and the associated use of ionizing radiation and iodinated contrast medium are major drawbacks…
Pyridostigmine will activate the parasympathetic cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway and therefore reduce inflammatory signs and symptoms in patients with complex regional pain syndrome.
By using a proactive approach (prompts) compared to a reactive approach CT (computer tailored) program use will be increased by 20 %.
The internet-based self-help intervention is effective in the enhancement of well-being, the reduction of depressive symptoms and in terms of economic costs in comparison to a waiting list control group.
MRI leads to higher prostate cancer detection: MR guided prostate biopsy and MR-ULtrasound Fusion Guided prostate biopsy will yield higher detection rates in comparison to Transrectal Ultrasound guided prostate biopsy.
Recent clinical data showed that remote ischemic preconditioning attenuates myocardial damage during cardiac surgery. Classic preconditioning is abolished in diabetic patients. We will investigate the molecular effects of remote ischemic…
Hearing aid fitting will reduce the tinnitus burden in patients with mild hearing loss.
The effect of stepping down asthma therapy in clinically stable children on exercise induced asthma.
We hypothesized that in a subgroup of patients EIBH would improve after the cessation of LABA.
