Postoperative delirium (POD) is characterized by the progressive deterioration of sensory/cognitive function after surgery with incidences of up to 30-80%. It is frequently followed by postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) which tends to persist over time. In elderly patients, POCD resembles chronic dementia and appears to accelerate the cognitive decline in Alzheimer dementia. POD is strongl ...

Persisting Transgenesis (PERSIST)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

"For many disabling or fatal diseases, there is pre-clinical or clinical evidence of the potential therapeutic efficacy of gene therapy and, yet, the limitations of current gene transfer technologies have prevented success or even caused serious adverse events leading to termination of trials. PERSIST will explore the use of highly innovative gene-modifying and delivery technologies and capitalize ...

European Genetic Disease Diagnostics (EURO-GENE-SCAN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"Molecular techniques have become more efficient, increasingly precise and much cheaper, resulting in an unprecedented discovery rate of inherited disease genes. In areas such as primary immunodeficiencies (PID), muscle disorders, growth deficiencies, hearing/vision impairments and metabolic diseases, very large numbers of different genes have been found to carry mutations in diseases with heterog ...

"Improvements in TB control require the development of new tools for rapid and accurate diagnosis and intervention. This development is likely to benefit from more detailed knowledge of microbe-host relationships during infection. Following M. tuberculosis infection, only 5-10% of immunocompetent individuals develop TB. It is increasingly thought that the virulence of the infecting strain, togethe ...
