Aggression subtyping for improved insight and treatment innovation in psychiatric disorders (AGGRESSOTYPE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2018,

Aggression is a basic physiological trait with important roles throughout evolution, both in defence and predation. When expressed in humans in the wrong context, aggression leads to maladjustment, social impairment and crime. Despite this, knowledge about aggression aetiology is limited and current treatment strategies are insufficient. Contingent to a subdivision into impulsive and instrumental ...

European Medical Information Framework (EMIF)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

In response to the need to tackle increasingly complex medical research questions, a growing amount of human health data is being collected, either in routine Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) databases, through research-driven cohort studies, in biobanks or related efforts. However, data sources are typically fragmented and contain information gaps which prevent their full exploitation. EMIF aim ...

Comparative Effectiveness Research to Assess the Use of Primary ProphylacTic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in EUrope (EU-CERT-ICD)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

An estimated 500.000 sudden cardiac deaths (SCD) occur each year in the European Union. Patients at risk for SCD may benefit from prophylactic treatment with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). ICD implantations have dramatically increased in recent years leading to multi-billion Euros of costs with significant regional disparities across Europe. Information on risks, benefits and cos ...

Evaluating the Climate and Air Quality Impacts of Short-Lived Pollutants (ECLIPSE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

ECLIPSE aims to develop and assess effective emission abatement strategies for short-lived climate agents in order to provide sound scientific advice on how to mitigate climate change while improving the quality of air. Current climate policy does not consider a range of short-lived gases and aerosols, and their precursors (including nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, sulphate, and black ...

Developmental Origins of Healthy and Unhealthy Ageing: The Role of Maternal Obesity (DORIAN)

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

Europe has the highest proportion of elderly people in the world. Cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes (T2D), sarcopenia and cognitive decline frequently coexist in the same aged individual, sharing common early risk factors and being mutually reinforcing. Obesity is a main health concern in the world. In the EU one-third of women of reproductive age are overweight and 20% are obese, a pr ...

Monitoring Atmospheric Composition and Climate Interim Implementation (MACC II)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

MACC II (Monitoring Atmospheric Composition and Climate – Interim Implementation) is designed to meet the requirements that have been expressed for prototype operational GMES services for the atmospheric domain. From late-2011 MACC II will continue the operation and development of the GMES service lines established by the MACC project and prepare for its transition in 2014 to become the atmospheri ...

MAnagement of Security information and events in Service InFrastructures (MASSIF)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

The main objective of MASSIF is to achieve a significant advance in the area of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). On the base of proper multi-level event correlation MASSIF will provide innovation techniques in order to enable the detection of upcoming security threats and trigger remediation actions even before the occurrence of possible security incidences. Thus, MASSIF will deve ...

Image-based Multi-scale Physiological Planning for Ablation Cancer Treatment (IMPPACT)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

IMPPACT will develop an intervention planning and monitoring application for Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) of malignant liver tumours. RFA is a minimally invasive form to treat cancer without open surgery, by placing a needle inside the malignancy and destroying it through intensive heating. Though the advantages of this approach are obvious, the intervention is currently hard to plan, almost impo ...

The mechanisms of cardiovascular risks after low radiation doses (CARDIORISK)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

"Recent epidemiologic evidence suggests that moderate and low radiation doses to the heart may result in a moderate, but significant increase in cardiovascular mortality. So far, the pathogenesis of radiation induced heart disease has not been studied in detail. Pathohistologic studies suggest that microvascular damage plays a crucial role in the development of radiation induced cardiovascular dis ...
