Lemmens Key words: depression treatments, psychotherapy, personalized medicine, prediction models "Personalized treatment strategies for depression" Depression is highly prevalent, and involves many different symptom profiles, courses and prognoses. Over the years, research has consistently shown that different types of evidence-based treatments are equally effective on average. However, individual responses to these treatments vary widely and are highly …

Schaper Key words: diabetes, daily glucose variability, continuous glucose monitoring "The measurement and consequences of daily glucose variability; a meaningful addition to the mean?" Diabetes mellitus is an important global health concern. Diabetes … this study, a large number of research participants has undergone continuous glucose monitoring. A continuous glucose monitor is a medical device that can measure glucose values every five minutes, which enables the detailed mapping of daily glucose profiles. The dissertation aims to provide tools to improve the measurement of daily glucose variability and continuous glucose monitoring, as well as to investigate whether daily glucose variability should indeed be considered an independent risk …

Smits Key words: colorectal cancer, CRC screening, early detection, DNA methylation marker, sensitivity/specificity "DNA methylation markers for early detection of colorectal cancer: moving forward" Colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon and the rectum, CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in 2020. The prognosis of a patient is highly dependent on the stage of … patients for colonoscopy, would help relieve the burden. However, its sensitivity is yet to be improved. Accumulating evidence supports DNA methylation markers for early detection of CRC. Through analysing the genome-wide expression and methylation profiles of samples from CRC and normal individuals, this research identified a three-gene marker panel that could improve the FIT performance. So far, the markers have been patented and will be developed in collaboration with a commercial partner to …

Maessen Co-supervisor: Dr. Mart Maesen Key words: tricuspid valve, tricuspid regurgitation, tricuspid infective endocarditis, tricuspid valve surgery "Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation: its Interplay with the right Ventricle, Prognostic Role, and Surgical Results in Various Settings" This thesis deals with surgery for tricuspid regurgitation, a valve in the right heart that separates the atrium from the ventricle. Like all valves, the tricuspid imposes a … highlight the need to intervene earlier in some particular groups of patients, and to evaluate those risk factors that could predict a failure, inducing thus the surgeon to change surgical strategy. In a few words, this thesis I tries to outline the profile of patients with tricuspid regurgitation in order to suggest a more patient-centric strategy, rather than simply a technical-centric one. This thesis was supported by the Netherlands Heart Foundation and CARIM (Cardiovascular Research Institute …

Neuroscientific research is conventionally geared towards mapping risk factors for … research into resilience conducted at our school. We will highlight research covering the entire pathway from gene to brain to behaviour, answering questions such as: how is resilience to stressful environments reflected in gene expression profiles? What are the neural correlates of resilience? Which environmental and life-style factors promote brain plasticity after damage? And ultimately, how can the insights from research into resilience aid us to optimize neuroscience and move …
