Global Research in Paediatrics (GRiP)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

Paediatric drugs (PD) lack appropriate testing. Most drugs have inadequate information about dosing regimen, dose adjustment and how to administer them. These are longstanding problems that unquestionably require concerted efforts at the international level. Both the US and the EU have introduced paediatric legislation that facilitates participation of children in research and pharmaceutical innov ...

Vitamin D And LIfestyle Intervention for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) Prevention (DALI)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Europe is facing a rapidly growing threat from Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), which is undoubtedly associated with an unhealthy diet and a more sedentary lifestyle. Evidence is accumulating that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) may be playing a role in this process. Thus it provides a significant opportunity for preventing future T2D. Not only is GDM prevalence on the rise, but intrauterine ex ...

Adopting Hospital Based Health Technology Assessment in EU (AdHopHTA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

The use of HTA as a part of the decision-making process at national, regional, and international levels has evolved considerably over the past 35 years. However, still an important number of good-value innovative HTs never reach clinical practice while, in many instances, others with no significant added value actually do. This situation can be effectively overcome by approaching HTA at hospital l ...

Mechanisms of the Development of ALLergy (MEDALL)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2015,

Causes explaining the epidemic of IgE-associated (allergic) diseases are unclear. MeDALL (Mechanisms of the Development of Allergy) aims at generating novel knowledge on mechanisms of allergy initiation, in particular in childhood. To understand how a complex network of genetic and environmental factors leads to complex allergic phenotypes, a novel stepwise, large and integrative translational app ...

Brain Diagnostics and Monitoring in early neonatal period (BraDiMo) (BraDiMo)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Sep 1, 2014,

EU level payload from medical conditions associated with acute threat to brain in neonates (such as preterm birth or birthasphyxia) rises upto billions of euros each year. Yet the means to protect or monitor brains in neonatal intensive care units are far from optimal, and every improvement to this practice is likely to yield very high returns. The aim of this proposal is to fund development of re ...

Innovative functional foods based on sweet lupin protein for cardiovascular prevention (LUPICARP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

The objective is to assess the health benefits on dislipidemia prevention of innovative food products based on lupin proteins, starting from some preliminary results provided by 2 past European collaborative projects (Healthy-Profood & Bioprofibre). The core RTD activity is the implementation of a multicenter randomized dietary intervention study with LDL-cholesterol as main end-point aimed to com ...

No Pain during infancy by adapting off-patent medicines (NeoOpioid)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

Preterm and newborn infant may suffer from pain in the same way as adults. They are even more sensitive to pain due to immaturity of endogenous modulation. Thus, they should have the same human right to be alleviated from pain. The overall aim of this project is to assess effects and safety of opioid treatment in very preterm up to full term newborn infants in relation to pharmacokinetics predisp ...

Hybrid MEG-MRI Imaging System (MEGMRI)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

"We will develop and validate hybrid magnetoencephalography (MEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology that will allow simultaneous structural (MRI) and functional (MEG) imaging of the human brain. MEG is a non-invasive 3D functional imaging with a high temporal resolution compared to other functional imaging but often suffers from a precise structural localization which will be solved ...
