Dobutamine for NEOnatal CIRCulatory failure defined by novel biomarkers (NEO-CIRC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

Dobutamine and adrenaline are widely used as second line therapy for systemic hypotension in infants. Dopamine is currently the most widely used first line drug. In neonates, sustained hypotension may, and impaired organ perfusion will, cause brain injury and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. All three catecholamines are currently used off-label and have different modes of action which may result ...

International study for treatment of childhood relapsed ALL 2010 with standard therapy, systematic integration of new agents, and establishment of standardized diagnostic and research (INTREALL)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Though survival of children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) has improved, relapse remains a leading cause of mortality in childhood cancer. Given the rarity of the disease, only a large international cooperative group can recruit sufficient patients for prospective studies with specific questions in biologic subgroups. Under the umbrella of the I-BFM SG all relevant mainly European study ...

Development of novel treatment strategies based on knowledge of cellular dysfunction in diabetes (BetaBat)

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

A reduction in functional pancreatic beta cell mass is the key feature of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Beta cell failure is exacerbated in the context of obesity and insulin resistance. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a highly metabolic organ, mediating energy dissipation and glucose disposal, thus contributing to maintain energy balance. BAT dysfunction contributes to obesity and impaired glucose me ...

Minimizing Defects in Micro-Manufacturing Applications (MIDEMMA)

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

Micro-manufacturing requires 'Zero-Defect' oriented approaches, both in large scale and in short-run production. Current quality control approaches, coming from macro-manufactring, are mainly based on post-process geometric control, which produces a large time lag between the defect generation and its detection, usually leading to large amount of defect parts (large scale) or wasted high value pro ...

Studies Investigating Co-morbidities Aggravating Heart Failure (SICA-HF)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a massive clinical, social and economic problem. Diabetes and obesity increase the risk of developing CHF. Cachexia is also an ominous sign. In 13 clinical and preclinical research projects, SICA-HF aims to investigate the impact of these co-morbidities in CHF patients at the clinical, vascular, cellular and molecular levels. SICA-HF will enrol >1600 patients wit ...

Embryonic Stem cell-based Novel Alternative Testing Strategies (ESNATS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

"ESNATS aims at developing a novel toxicity test platform based on embryonic stem cells (ESC), especially human ESC (hESC), to accelerate drug development, reduce R&D costs and propose a powerful alternative to animal tests (3 Rs). ESNATS will address current drug-testing shortcomings: - testing takes place late in the development cycle - animal test systems bear the risk of non-prediction due to ...

Postgraduate Lymphology Training in Europe

... the lymphatic vessels have a high incidence but are poorly understood, as they are the subject of little research. The lymphatic system and its diseases are seldom mentioned during the undergraduate medical curriculum. There is also a lack of postgraduate training in lymphology for medical doctors. However, diseases of the lymphatics have a high incidence. In developed countries around 20-50% of ...
