Comorbid Conditions of Attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (CoCA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Understanding mechanisms underlying comorbid disorders poses a challenge for developing precision medicine tools. Psychiatric disorders are highly comorbid, and are among the last areas of medicine, where classification is driven by phenomenology rather than pathophysiology. We will study comorbidity between the most frequent psychiatric conditions, ADHD, mood/anxiety, and substance use disorders, ...

Development of DIALIVE, a novel Liver Dialysis Device for the treatment of patients with Acute on Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) (ALIVER)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Sep 30, 2020,

Liver disease incidence is increasing and about 170K patients die from liver failure each year in Europe. In liver failure, the accumulation of protein bound toxins and increased susceptibility to infection cause multiorgan failure and death. Liver transplantation is the only treatment known to prolong the life but is limited by availability of organs. A clinically efficacious ‘liver dialysis devi ...

Validating C. elegans healthspan model for better understanding factors causing health and disease, to develop evidence based prevention, diagnostic, therapeutic and other strategies. (Ageing with elegans)

Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Apr 30, 2020,

Healthspan (the life period when one is generally healthy and free from serious disease) depends on nature (genetic make-up) and nurture (environmental influences, from the earliest stages of development throughout life). Genetic studies increasingly reveal mutations and polymorphisms that may affect healthspan. Similarly, claims abound about lifestyle modifications or treatments improving healths ...

Ion-Molecule Processes for Analytical Chemical Technologies (IMPACT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

Soft chemical-ionization mass-spectrometry (SCIMS) is an exquisitely sensitive analytical technique with applications to health, the environment and security that are vital to the EU. However, the recent, rapid and widespread adoption of this technique has caught Europe unprepared. The resultant shortage in analytical chemical expertise has created an urgent need for highly skilled young researche ...

Polypharmacy in chronic diseases: Reduction of Inappropriate Medication and Adverse drug events in elderly populations by electronic Decision Support (PRIMA-EDS)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

Background: Treatment of chronic diseases in the elderly with polypharmacy poses a threat to patient outcome and involves extensive costs. Little evidence exists regarding the benefits of polypharmacy, but rising evidence shows its harmful effects. Several approaches to reduce polypharmacy have been proposed, but none have been evaluated using clinically relevant endpoints.Aims: Based on a systema ...

Sensor Based Detection of Implant Loosening in Total Hip Replacements (SMART-HIP)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

"Ageing, sedentary behaviour,and obesity are predictors of osteoarthritis, and the combination of arthritis and obesity causes an undue stress on joints, and when conservative treatments no longer yield a satisfactory response, joint replacement becomes necessary. Despite the standardized procedures, a significant share of total joint replacements fail because the prosthesis becomes loose or becau ...
