HEARTBiT: Multi-Marker Blood Test for Acute Cardiac Transplant Rejection (HEARTBiT)
Heart transplantation is a life saving therapy for people with end stage heart failure. Acute rejection, a process where the immune system recognizes the transplanted heart as foreign and mounts a response against it, remains a clinical problem despite improvements in immunosuppressive drugs. Acute rejection occurs in 20-30% of patients …

Markers of Tissue Injury and Rhabdomyolysis in Patients With Major Trauma
Major trauma is associated with a release of alarmins (DAMPs - damage-associated molecular patterns) from the injured tissues. This process results in the activation of the immune system, which is one of the main mechanisms participating in the development of organ dysfunctions in patients with major trauma.

The Detrimental Course of Acute Intestinal Ischemia (TACTIC)
Rationale Acute intestinal ischemia is a life-threatening condition with a short-term mortality that can range up to 80%. Medical diagnosis and treatment have remained troublesome, due to the clinical presentation which is mostly characterized by non-specific signs and symptoms. Early unambiguous diagnosis of acute intestinal ischemia is critical to prevent …

Early Response Evaluation of Proton Therapy by PET-imaging in Squamous Cell Carcinoma Located in the Head and Neck (ERM-PT-HNSCC)
The goal of this project is to develop and characterise an imaging strategy for biology-guided individualisation of the proton therapy plan to improve patient outcome and quality-of-life. Positron-emission tomography (PET) studies reflecting glucose metabolism, hypoxia and physical changes of proton-irradiated tumour tissues will be performed. Patients with head and neck …

Macro- and Microcirculation Crosstalk in Brain-damaged Patients Under Anesthesia or in Intensive Care (MICRONOR)
In patients with severe brain injury, maintenance and control of blood pressure is at the very first point in the management strategy, whether in anesthesia or in intensive care. In order to restore cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) to appropriate levels (60-70 mmHg) while ensuring optimal perfusion of other vital organs, …

Skeletal Muscle in PASC Patients (MUSCLE-PASC)
Rationale: A common feature in patients with Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC) are skeletal muscle-related symptoms, such as muscle pain, weakness, fatigue and post-exertional malaise. Objective: The primary aim is to determine markers for skeletal muscle structure and function, and circulating factors, in patients with PASC, and compare with …

ILD-SARDs Registry and Biorepository
A complex interaction between demographic, environmental and genetic mechanisms impact the onset, severity and outcome of ILD-SARDs through dysregulation of the immune system and lung pro-biotic pathways. Comorbidity and genetic risk indicate that there are overlapping pathogenic mechanisms among SARDs, some of which underlie ILD in different SARDs. The purpose …

Hyperbaric Oxygenation Treatment and Quality of Life
Osteoradionecrosis, dermal soft tissue necrosis, radiation cystitis, proctitis and sexual dysfunctions are well-known late-effects after radiation for cancer in the pelvic area, negatively affecting the survivors' quality of life (QOL) and psychosocial wellbeing. Increasing evidence and clinical practice support the use of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) as an effective treatment …
