Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Safety Profile of Understudied Drugs Administered to Children Per Standard of Care (POPS)

The study investigators are interested in learning more about how drugs, that are given to children by their health care provider, act in the bodies of children and young adults in hopes to find the most safe and effective dose for children. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the PK of understudied drugs currently being administered to children per SOC as prescribed by their treating provider.

Adjunctive Clindamycin for the Treatment of Skin and Soft Tissue Infections, a Randomized Controlled Trial

This is an exploratory study to evaluate the effect of adjunctive clindamycin in the treatment of skin and soft-tissue infections due to Staphylococcus aureus in patients from Sierra Leone. The study hypothesizes that clindamycin, when added to routine treatment, will lead to a more rapid clinical resolution and less frequent recurrences of infection.

Acutelines: a Large Data-/Biobank of Acute and Emergency Medicine

Research in acute care faces many challenges, including enrollment challenges, legal limitations in data sharing, limited funding, and lack of singular ownership of the domain of acute care. To overcome some of these challenges, the Center of Acute Care of the University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands, has established a de novo data-, image- and biobank named "Acutelines". Acutelines is initiated to improve recognition and treatment of acute diseases and obtain insight in the consequences of acute diseases, including factors predicting its outcome. Thereby, Acutelines contributes to development of personalized treatment and improves prediction of patient outcomes after an acute admission.

Skin Inflammation and PK of Azithromycin

This study will investigate the tissue distribution of azithromycin in healthy, artificially inflamed and actually infected tissue of humans.
