Safe and efficacious artemisinin-based combination treatments for African pregnant women with malaria. Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Overall Goal: To identify artemisinin-based combination treatments (ACT) that can be safely and efficaciously used to treat women with malaria in their second and third trimester of pregnancy. This will be attained through the following strategies: 1. Research: To determine the safety and efficacy of 4 ACTs when administered to pregnant women during the second and the third trimester with P. falciparum infection and collect explanatory ...
Penumbrale Rescue door Normobarische O = O Administratie bij patiënten met ischemische beroerte en target-mismatch Profiel: een Fase II Proof-of-Concept KU Leuven
Ischemic stroke (IS), caused by occlusion of arteries that supply blood to the brain, remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the world. Disruption of blood and oxygen supply to the brain leads to neuronal death in the ischemic core within minutes. The hypoperfused tissue surrounding the ischemic core, the penumbra, is at high risk for infarction over time but still salvageable. Neuroprotective “bridgingâ€, sustaining the ...

Computationele biomechanica en bio-engineering 3D-printen om een gepersonaliseerd regeneratief biologisch ventriculair hulpmiddel te ontwikkelen voor blijvende functionele ondersteuning voor beschadigde harten KU Leuven
Ischemic heart disease is the main cause of death in the EU, straining patients and economies. Regenerative Medicine has failed at delivering a definitive solution, and even the breakthrough of cell reprogramming, biomaterials or 3D printing, have not been able to find a curative solution. Generating a muscle with efficient pumping requires a careful recapitulation of the myocardial architecture. BRAV∃ is born with the ambition of shaping ...
