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 ...

EUROPEAN FORENSIC GENETICS Network of Excellence (EUROFORGEN-NOE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The EUROFORGEN-NoE proposal aims to develop a network of excellence for the creation of a European Virtual Centre of Forensic Genetic Research. Forensic genetics is a highly innovative field of applied science with a strong impact on the security of citizens. However, the genetic methods to identify offenders as well as the creation of national DNA databases have caused concerns to the possible vi ...

Biodegradable Magnetic Stent for Coronary Artery Luminal Regeneration (BIOMAGSCAR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

By 2010 1.5 million stents per year will be deployed in Europe. Although outcome for patients has improved, stents still fail because of the occurrence of restenosis and thrombosis at the site of implantation. While drug eluting stents have helped to reduce the problem of restenosis, neointimal proliferation causing restenosis can still occur. Additional concerns exist regarding drug eluting stent ...

A BLUEPRINT of Haematopoietic Epigenomes (BLUEPRINT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

In response to the call for a high impact initiative on the human epigenome, the BLUEPRINT Consortium has been formed with the aim of generating at least 100 reference epigenomes and studying them to advance and exploit knowledge of the underlying biological processes and mechanisms in health and disease. BLUEPRINT will focus on distinct types of haematopoietic cells from healthy individuals and o ...

More Medicines for Tuberculosis (MM4TB)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2016,

The More Medicines for Tuberculosis (MM4TB) consortium evolved from the highly successful FP6 project, New Medicines for TB (NM4TB), that delivered a candidate drug for clinical development two years ahead of schedule. Building on these firm foundations and exploiting its proprietary pharmacophores, MM4TB will continue to develop new drugs for TB treatment. An integrated approach will be impleme ...

AIP gene regulation and its implications in pituitary tumorigenesis (REGAIP)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

"Background: Pituitary adenomas are a public health problem, due to their prevalence, morbidity and medical costs. AIP is a tumor suppressor gene that was recently linked to pituitary tumors in up to 30% of the familial isolated pituitary adenoma syndrome (FIPA) families, an autosomal dominant disease with incomplete penetrance. AIP mutation-positive patients are younger (children/young adults), h ...

EUROmediCAT: Safety of Medication use in Pregnancy in Relation to Risk of Congenital Malformations (EUROMEDICAT)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

A variety of complementary approaches are needed to evaluate safety of medicine use in pregnancy. To evaluate safety in relation to teratogenicity (capacity to cause malformations), population-based congenital anomaly registers, which are already networked across Europe (EUROCAT) with a common database, can provide a cost-effective mechanism which is as yet underexploited. The enormous population ...

Molecular Targets Open for Regulation by the gut flora – New Avenues for improved Diet to Optimize European health (TORNADO)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

"Europe is facing major diet related health problems. Attitudes to eating habits have to be changed and the benefits of alternative treatment regimes substantiated. This can only be achieved by providing guidelines regulating health claims based on scientific data. Thus, there is a unique opportunity to use gut flora in potential treatment regimes and as a preventive target for major diet related ...

The anatomical, physiological, and molecular basis of chronic visceral pain in humans (Human visceral pain)

Start date: May 10, 2012, End date: May 9, 2014,

Chronic visceral pain (CVP) is one of the most frequent reasons for seeking health care. Pain can arise from inflammatory disease, but 50% of patients with visceral pain have no diagnostic abnormalities, and are classed as “functional”. Both types of CVP are poorly understood, but animal studies show that they involve hypersensitivity of visceral sensory nerves, and some of the molecular mechanism ...

Accessing Medicines in Africa and South Asia (AMASA)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

"The main aim of the proposed research is to investigate how the interplay of patent regimes, pharmaceutical regulation, availability of drug production facilities, health care infrastructure and service provision, and engagement by foreign donors influence appropriate, affordable access to medicines in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. We aim to map patterns of production, distribution, supply a ...

Evaluation of Integrated Cardiac Imaging for the Detection and Characterization of Ischemic Heart Disease (EVINCI-study)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

The main purpose of the EVINCI-study is to test the impact of combined “anatomo-functional” non invasive cardiac imaging for detection and characterization of Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD). The EVINCI-study is a prospective clinical European multicenter trial performed in a cohort of 700 patients with suspected IHD. Patients with intermediate pre-test probability will undergo clinical and biohumora ...

European Network on Noise And Health (ENNAH)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2012,

"This proposal puts forward plans to establish a research network of experts on noise and health in Europe. This network will establish future research directions and policy needs in Europe. The network will review the existing literature on environmental noise exposure and health focussing on the consolidation of existing state of the art knowledge and the identification of gaps in the evidence a ...
