Ontwikkeling en validatie van een screeningsinstrument voor het identificeren van centrale sensitisatie pijn bij kankeroverlevers. KU Leuven
Het doel van het project is om een instrument te ontwikkelen voor de identificatie van centrale sensitisatie pijn bij kankeroverlevenden met aanhoudende pijn enkele maanden na het beëindigen van de behandeling.
Transparantie-instrumenten om de methode-transparantie, analytische robuustheid en repliceerbaarheid van empirisch onderzoek te kwantificeren. KU Leuven
A basic requirement in science is that published findings are sufficiently trustworthy. The current state-of-the-art strategy to assess the trustworthiness of findings involves meta-analyzing all known findings on a topic. Such strategy, however, is seriously flawed because it does not account for various forms of researcher biases that contaminate each study included in a meta-analysis. Consequently, it is currently not possible for ...
Cellular, molecular and functional characterization of quiescence in Leishmania donovani, the etiological agent of visceral leishmaniasis Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Cultureel inclusieve scholen: diversiteit vieren, gemeenschappelijke waarden onderwijzen en interculturele competentie bij jongeren bevorderen KU Leuven
Our culture can shape identity and communication. Effective intercultural communication has become more important for schools in Europe facing increasing student diversity. Building more efficient intercultural competencies in the classrooms requires measurable, conceptualised models based on empirical studies, and targeted educational approaches. To fill this gap, the EU-funded INCLUDed project will study a heuristic framework based on an ...

Systeemgebaseerde weergave van melanoomvoortgang: naar nieuwe diagnostische (en therapeutische) toepassingen KU Leuven
Worldwide figures show that there were 160,000 incidences of melanoma in 2002, whilst 39,000 died from the disease. These upward trends are worrying, as malignant melanoma is one of the most difficult cancers to treat, due to its ability to spread quickly and its resistance to standard chemotherapeutic agents. In order to counteract this trend, targeted therapies that inhibit melanoma metastasis are required. The aim of SYS-MEL is to identify ...
Validatie van voorspellende modellen van radiotherapie-toxiciteit om de levenskwaliteit te verbeteren en bijwerkingen bij overlevenden van kanker te verminderen. KU Leuven
Long-term side-effects of radiotherapy impact on the quality-of-life (QoL) of cancer survivors. These side-effects could be reduced if predicted in advance. Previous work identified clinical and biological predictors but a major, coordinated approach is needed to validate them so they can be used clinically. The EU has ~17.8 million people living with a prior diagnosis of cancer of whom ~7 million received radiotherapy. In the long-term, ...
