A new neuroimaging modality: from bench to bedside (FUSIMAGINE)

Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2019,

"NeuroImaging systems are invaluable tools in the understanding of the brain both for fundamental research and clinical diagnosis. However, recent improvements in deep brain imaging technology have been somewhat limited because most of them are based on incremental innovation of mature techniques (EEG, PET and fMRI) instead of breakthrough.In FUSIMAGINE, a genuinely new functional brain imaging mo ...

Treatment of late onset bacterial sepsis caused by vancomycin susceptible bacteria in neonates and infants aged under three months (NEOVANC)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

Vancomycin is the critically important antibiotic to treat neonatal Late Onset Sepsis (LOS) due to Gram positive bacteria in neonates, including Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CoNS) and Staphylococcus aureus. These organisms also create biofilms which are extremely resistant to antibiotics. The increased incidence of LOS due to bacteria such as CoNS and MRSA in NICUs has led to a marked increas ...

Global Research in Paediatrics (GRiP)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

Paediatric drugs (PD) lack appropriate testing. Most drugs have inadequate information about dosing regimen, dose adjustment and how to administer them. These are longstanding problems that unquestionably require concerted efforts at the international level. Both the US and the EU have introduced paediatric legislation that facilitates participation of children in research and pharmaceutical innov ...

European-COMPARative Effectiveness research on online Depression (E-COMPARED)

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

In 2010, 30 million Europeans were affected by depression and their number is still growing. Half of Europeans in need of mental care for depression do not have access to care services, do not always receive evidence-based treatments, are confronted with long waiting lists or high care expenditures. Internet-based treatment has the potential to addresses the drawbacks of standard care and keep dep ...

Treat Infections in NeoNates 2 - Evaluation of an infective agent (azithromycin) for the treatment of infections in preterm and term neonates (TINN2)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"The aim of TINN2 is to evaluate azithromycin, included in the EMEA priority list of the therapeutic areas that need specific drug evaluation in preterm and term neonates. Azithromycin is a macrolid antibiotic with anti-inflammatory properties active against Ureaplasma. It might be effective in reducing the severity of bronhopulmonary disease in which Ureaplasma infection and inflammation play a r ...

Evaluation of antibiotics (ciprofloxacin and fluconazole) for the treatment of infections in preterm and term neonates (TINN)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

The aim of TINN is to evaluate ciprofloxacin, fluconazole and micafungin in neonates; two anti-infectious drugs included in the EMEA priority list of the therapeutic areas that need specific drug evaluation in preterm and term neonates. These drugs are prescribed off-label to treat neonatal infections that are life threatening situations and associated with long-term complications. In order to val ...

SeaDataNet II: Pan-European infrastructure for ocean and marine data management (SEADATANET II)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

The overall objective of the SeaDataNet II project is to upgrade the present SeaDataNet infrastructure into an operationally robust and state-of-the-art Pan-European infrastructure for providing up-to-date and high quality access to ocean and marine metadata, data and data products originating from data acquisition activities by all engaged coastal states, by setting, adopting and promoting common ...

Pathways common to brain development and ageing: defining strategies for preventive therapy and diagnostics (DEVELAGE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

"The increasing number of elderly people will have a major impact on the prevalence of age-related diseases, which will pose major challenges to keep health systems in Europe sustainable. Current knowledge is insufficient to identify the transition of normal brain ageing into Alzheimer`s Disease (AD)-like brain damage. Elucidation of the genes and pathways contributing to the earliest stages of AD ...

Structural analysis of the CSA binding interactions involved during pregnancy associated malaria (PreMalStruct)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2011,

Adhesion of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (PE) to placental chondroitin-4-sulfate (CSA) has been linked to the severe disease outcome of pregnancy-associated malaria (PAM). After multiple pregnancies, women acquire protective antibodies that block CSA-binding and cross-react with geographically diverse placental isolates suggesting that surface molecule(s) expressed by PAM-infected e ...
