Evaluation of New Device for Beta-adrenergic Sweat Test in the Context of Stratification of Patient With Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare genetic disease affecting 1 baby in 2,850 live births in Belgium and associated with high morbidity and mortality. CF is caused by CFTR mutations resulting in loss-of-function of the CFTR protein. It leads to dramatic abnormalities in transepithelial ion transport and the production of thick mucus obstructing airways and duct lumens of exocrine glands. The gold standard for CF diagnosis is an accurate Gibson and Cooke sweat test which is very sensitive to lost or abrogated CFTR function, but shows a logarithmic relationship between sweat Cl - content and CFTR function: e.g. a 5% residual CFTR function is associated with sweat Cl- concentrations found below the diagnostic threshold (<60 mmol/L). Consequently, diagnosing CF is challenging in borderline cases and/or in the presence of CFTR mutations not recognized as disease-causing (CFTR2 data base; https://cftr2.org/). Contrary to routine sweat test measuring the CFTR-mediated reabsorption of Cl- in the sweat duct, beta-adrenergic sweat secretion test (BAST) measures CFTR mediated secretion of Cl- in the secretory coil of the sweat gland . Sato and Sato discovered in the early 1980s that CFTR-mediated sweat secretion can be stimulated with β-adrenergic agonists if the thermoregulative cholinergic sweat secretion is simultaneously inhibited with atropine . β-adrenergic sweat secretion was absent in people with CF (pwCF) and half-maximal in healthy heterozygous carriers of CFTR mutation (HTZ). Therefore, BAST seems to be a highly sensitive CFTR bioassay suitable for screening of CFTR dysfunction, monitoring the efficacy of new therapeutic interventions and differential diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic sufficient-CF, CFTR-Related disease and cystic fibrosis screen positive and finallyinconclusive diagnosis. BAST detect the relative improvement due to a novel treatment, while at the same time show that the levels did not return to a normal range. The available measurement range can thus be used to assess the individual response to therapeutic interventions, but can also be used to stratify patients in the intermediate range of activity, which fall into a spectrum, ranging from a severe loss of function in classical cystic fibrosis to the cystic fibrosis related disease with a relatively lowered activity.

The Dragon PLC Trial (DRAGON-PLC)
Primary liver cancer (PLC) is the third most common cause of cancer death worldwide. Surgical resection is the mainstay for a curative approach as contemporary chemotherapy and immune-based therapies only lead to a median survival of 10-14 months. A complete surgical resection increases the median survival to 42 months (range 32-52 months). However, PLC is mainly diagnosed at an advanced stage and >70% of PLC patients are ineligible for an immediate surgical approach. There are different reasons that make a patient ineligible for surgery, one important reason is the risk of liver failure after the surgery due to a small remnant liver. This study aims to improve the oncological, radiological and surgical strategy to allow more patients to undergo liver resection safely, to improve quality of life and to extend overall survival at acceptable costs. Adequate function of the future liver remnant (FLR) is a prerequisite for surgical resectability. This is necessary in order to avoid liver failure after surgery, a major cause of morbidity (38%) and mortality (27%). To mitigate this risk, regenerative strategies based on preoperative calculation of the FLR volume and function are essential. Patients with technically resectable disease but predicted insufficient FLR volume or function are referred to as primarily unresectable or potentially resectable (PU/PR). These patients can undergo strategies that capitalize on the regenerative capacity of the liver which aim to preoperatively increase the FLR volume and function in order to allow surgery. Many of the patients that are primarily unresectable due to an insufficient FLR can become ultimately and safely resectable after the induction of adequate FLR-hypertrophy by the current standard, portal vein embolisation (PVE). However, 25% of patients do not show sufficient FLR growth after PVE and are unable to safely undergo resection. A new approach has been developed to improve this. Combined portal and hepatic vein embolisation (PVE/HVE) has great promise in terms of increasing FLR growth, resection rate (RR), safety and potentially, overall survival. Establishing PVE/HVE as the new standard could result in increased survival and a better quality of life (QoL) for patients.

Prospective Randomized Non-Inferiority Study Comparing Natural Cycle Frozen Embryo Transfer (NC-FET) to a New Type of Endometrial Preparation for FET: Natural Proliferative Phase (NPP-FET)
The protocol Natural proliferative phase/Natural Programmed by Progesterone, Patients with regular cycles, candidates for replacement of embryos frozen in a spontaneous cycle. The monitoring of the cycle is carried out by taking blood and follicular ultrasound between the 10th and 13th day of the cycle. Support luteal phase by intravaginal progesterone (utrogestan 200 mg) 1 tablet, 2 times per day, is initiated once the following criteria are met: - Thickness of the endometrium > 7 mm on ultrasound - Ovarian follicle > 14 mm - Estradiol( E2) > 120 pg/mL Embryo transfer is scheduled on the 6th day of progesterone exposure exogenous. A progesterone dosage on the day of transfer will be systematically realized
