    Civil and criminal liability for damages caused to subjects of medical experimentation. 01/01/1997 - 31/12/1998

    Abstract

    Medical experimentation with human subjects is characterized by an inherent conflict of interests which demands an evaluation of the researcher, the hospital, the pharmaceutical industry and ethic comites on the other hand. The final objective is the draft of a legal framework, partly consisting of elements from comparative research, because of the lack of an adequat Belgian regulation.

          Conclusion of the pilot study on the therapeutic guidance of sex offenders. 01/01/1995 - 31/07/1995

          Abstract

          The pilot study was aimed at the development and implementation of a therapeutic program for the treatment of sex offenders. Since the main objective consists in the prevention of relapse, a cognitive behavioral approach turned out to be the best documented and the most effective program.

              Role of cytikones, peptidase and acute phase proteins in pathogenesis and pathophysiology of severe depressive disorders. 01/01/1994 - 31/12/1994

              Abstract

              The studies reported here should provide a significant improvement over previous attempts to test the hypothesis that cytokines and peptidase enzymes are involved in the pathogenesis of depressions and are related to HPA axis overdrive and lower L-TRP availability in that illness.
