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, ...

PREvention of Complications to Improve OUtcome in elderly patients with acute Stroke (PRECIOUS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2020,

Every year, 1.3 million Europeans have a stroke and one million ultimately die of stroke. One third of stroke patients remain dependent on the help of others. The annual costs for stroke care in Europe are estimated at € 64.1 billion. Stroke incidence increases almost exponentially with age, and the personal, societal, and economic burden of stroke is therefore largely driven by its frequent occur ...
