Bringing the artificial pancreas home (AP@home)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

Description In order to improve treatment of diabetes patients at home, the main goal of AP@Home is to build and evaluate an artificial pancreas (AP). The AP will allow automated glucose control: It monitors your blood glucose (sugar) levels and a software algorithm calculates how much insulin to deliver at any time via a built-in insulin in ...

Natural course, pathophysiology, models for early diagnosis, prevention and innovative treatment of TNF Receptor Associated Periodic Syndrome TRAPS with application for all hereditary recurrent fevers (EUROTRAPS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

The TNF Receptor Associated Syndrome (TRAPS) is a rare disease of innate immunity, caused by mutations in TNFR1. It is characterised by recurrent bouts of fever and pain and mainly affects patients of European ancestry. The development of renal amyloidosis in up to 20% of cases makes it a potentially fatal disease. Corticosteroids and anti-TNF therapeutics have not been consistently effective in c ...
