Early Prevention of Diabetes Complications in people with Hyperglycaemia in Europe (E-PREDICE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

"Background: A significant proportion of pre-diabetics, show macro and micro vascular complications associated with hyperglycaemia. Although many trials have demonstrated the efficacy of lifestyle and pharmaceutical interventions in diabetes prevention, no trial has evaluated the extent to which mid- and long-term complications can be prevented by early interventions on hyperglycaemia.Aims: To ass ...

New Generation of orthopaedic Biomaterials (NEWBIOGEN)

Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

Biomaterials industry and especially the orthopaedics sector represent a large market globally with growth rates of 7-15%. Unfortunately current biomaterials are not optimal and cause pain and distress to a large number of patients. Particularly their life cycle is very small compared to the average starting age of musculoskeletal disorders. The raw materials used can cause neurological problems a ...

A novel swimming pool water treatment for the detection and elimination of excess cyanuric acid (POOLSAFE)

Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

Microorganisms in swimming pool water can pose a serious health threat and pool disinfection is therefore compulsory by law in all developed countries. The most common disinfectant is chlorine, which is always found in its active form, hypochlorous acid (HOCl), in pool water. HOCl is rapidly decomposed by UV light, losing its bactericide effect, and a continuous supply is needed to maintain safe l ...

Activation of vasculature associated stem cells and muscle stem cells for the repair and maintenance of muscle tissue (Endostem)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

We propose to develop new strategies to mobilize skeletal muscle tissue-associated stem cells as a tool for efficient tissue repair. This will be combined with exploring novel approaches that limit tissue damage, and will focus on agents that modify muscle and muscle vasculature progenitor cells. These molecules include nitric oxide associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, HMGB1, Cri ...

Efficient Integrated Security Checkpoints (EFFISEC)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

Illegal immigration and illicit material detection is a growing concern at the European borders; in that respect border security checkpoints must be particularly efficient against any kind of threat. If airport checkpoints controls are today technically improving, land and seaport checkpoints differ strongly from airports ones and are more complex to process. During the last years, most of the eff ...

Interventions to Promote Healthy Eating Habits: Evaluation and Recommendations (EATWELL)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

Obesity has been estimated to cost the EU some €70 annually through health care costs and lost productivity, and additionally over-consumption of salt, sugar and saturated fats and under-consumption of fruit and vegetables cause almost 70,000 premature deaths annually in the UK alone. Member States have initiated a variety of policy interventions to encourage healthy eating including prohibitions ...

Novel method for assisting and accelerating the aging process of wine (ULTRAFINEWINE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

"Wine producers are constantly striving to achieve a stable product with an extended period of peak taste and bouquet. Naturally aged wine tends to be milder tasting, smoother to drink and have a higher metabolism than non-aged wine. Research has shown this to be due to the dynamic structures of the ethanol-water clusters being changed to a smaller, more uniform state as the wine ages. Prior to th ...

2-WHEELER BEHAVIOUR AND SAFETY (2-BE-SAFE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"Powered Two Wheeler (PTW) users are greatly over-involved in serious and fatal crashes. They have between 5 and 25 times the risk of having a fatal crash compared to car drivers, depending on the country. The number of PTWs on European roads has more than doubled over the last two decades. The recent MAIDS (Motorcycle Accident In-Depth Study) study of PTW crashes in Europe found that behavioural ...

Advanced telematics for enhancing the SAFEty and comfort of motorcycle RIDERs (SAFERIDER)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

Motorcycle and moped fatalities account for 17,8% of the total number of road accident fatalities in Europe and, compared to a passenger car occupant, a motorcycle rider is 26 times more likely to die in a crash, based on vehicle miles travelled, as riders are among the vulnerable road users.SAFERIDER aims to enhanced PTW riders' safety by applying ADAS/IVIS on PTWs of all types for the most cruci ...
