Combatting Bacterial Resistance in Europe - Carbapenem Resistance (COMBACTE-CARE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Feb 28, 2020,

Multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB): the ultimate challenge!Antibiotic resistance is a global public health concern recently elevated to the top three threats identified by the WHO, and subject of numerous national and international government activities. Although focused strategies have beneficially influenced infection rates due to methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (M ...

Combatting Bacterial Resistance in Europe (COMBACTE-NET)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

The emergence of Antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) is a global problem, having recently been elevated to the top three threats identified by the World Health Organisation (WHO), and subject of numerous national and international government activities, including the Trans-Atlantic Task Force on Antimicrobial Resistance established by the US and EU presidencies. The estimated costs of ARB are aro ...

Preserving old antibiotics for the future : assessment of clinical efficacy by a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic approach to optimize effectiveness and reduce resistance for off-patent antibiotics (AIDA)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

The AIDA project aims to answer the question of clinical effectiveness and optimal dosing of 5 off-patent antibiotics for infections caused by multiple drug resistant (MDR) bacteria in three randomized controlled clinical trials. In an era of increasing emergence of drug resistance (EDR) and lack of new antibiotics, old off- patent antibiotics are increasingly being prescribed to patients. However ...

Taking imaging into the therapeutic domain: Self-regulation of brain systems for mental disorders (BRAINTRAIN)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Our proposal is based on the idea that real-time functional neuroimaging can be used to train patients to regulate their own brain activity via neurofeedback training and thus modulate the brain networks of mental disorder, restore function, improve symptoms and promote resilience. We have brought together the core groups that have been instrumental in the development of methods for real-time func ...

Closed-loop system for personalized and at-home rehabilitation of people with Parkinson's Disease (CuPiD)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

People with Parkinson's disease (PD) suffer from motor and cognitive impairments that severely impact mobility, fall risk, and multiple key aspects of functional independence. Until recently, treatment goals focused almost exclusively on symptom relief, but exciting recent work by CuPiD partners and others has demonstrated that motor learning and rehabilitation principles can be effective even in ...

Wireless Insole for Independent and Safe Elderly Living (WIISEL)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

Description WIISEL's main goal is to develop an unobtrusive, self-learning and wearable prevention and warning system to decrease the incidence of falls in the elderly population.The idea is that elderly people put a specifically designed insole in their shoes, which monitors their walking pattern. This way the system may detect changes in g ...

Impact of Specific Antibiotic Therapies on the prevalence of hUman host ResistaNt bacteria (SATURN)

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

"Many results drawn from previous studies of the effect of antibiotic use on emergence, selection and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) have lacked a holistic view combining all aspects into one study. The SATURN project aims to study the impact of antibiotic exposure on AMR with a multidisciplinary approach that bridges molecular, epidemiological, clinical and pharmacological research. Two ...

Rendering environmental pathogens sensitive to antibiotics prior to infection (Restoring sensitivit)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

Antibiotic resistance of pathogens is an accelerating problem and there is an urgent need for new antimicrobial agents. Pharmaceutical companies face numerous obstacles in developing new antibiotics, and therefore a method that will re-sensitize pathogens to well-established antibiotics harbors key advantages. We propose a system that restores antibiotic efficiency by reversing resistance of pat ...
