Current treatment landscape of atopic dermatitis focusing on real-world evidence of dupilumab treatment.
Boesjes CM, van der Gang LF, Achten RE, Bakker DS, van der Rijst LP, Dekkers CC, van Wijk F, Haeck IM, de Bruin-Weller MS, de Graaf M
Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a prevalent chronic inflammatory skin disorder and has a considerable impact on patients' quality of life. Dupilumab, the first biologic approved for moderate-to-severe AD, is a human monoclonal antibody targeting the interleukin (IL)-4 receptor α, thereby blocking both IL-4 and IL-13 signaling, key drivers of type 2 inflammation in AD. Its introduction has marked a paradigm shift in the management of AD and paved the way for future therapies. As real...

Unveiling the global urban virome through wastewater metagenomics.
Worp N, Nieuwenhuijse DF, Izquierdo-Lara RW, Schapendonk CME, Brinch C, Jensen EEB, Munk P, Hendriksen RS, Global Sewage Surveillance Consortium, Aarestrup F, Oude Munnink BB, Koopmans MPG, de Graaf M
Understanding global viral dynamics is critical for public health. Traditional surveillance focuses on individual pathogens and symptomatic cases, which may miss asymptomatic infections or newly emerging viruses, delaying detection and response. Wastewater-based epidemiology has been used to track pathogens through targeted molecular assays, but its reliance on predefined targets limits detection of the full viral spectrum. Here, we analyse longitudinal wastewater samples from 62 cities across s...

Chromogranin A and catestatin regulate pancreatic islet homeostasis, endocrine function, and neurotransmitter signaling.
Muntjewerff EM, Epremidze D, Nezhyva M, Kal S, Rohm TV, Tang K, Singh K, Espes D, Jati S, Bootsma M, Mannaa AM, Ikebuchi H, Nilsson AM, Rajasekaran M, Andrén PE, Jansson ET, Mahata SK, Christoffersson G
Chromogranin A (CgA), a neuroendocrine pro-hormone, is proteolytically cleaved into bioactive peptides, most notably catestatin (CST) and pancreastatin (PST), which exert opposing effects on metabolic and inflammatory processes. Using CgA- and CST knockout (KO) mice, we investigated the roles of these peptides in pancreatic endocrine function, morphology, neurotransmitter dynamics, and systemic glucose homeostasis. CST-KO mice displayed impaired insulin secretion in vivo (but not ex vivo), disru...

Disentangling perceptual from non-perceptual expectation biases in short-term memory.
Koopmans JG, Thorat S, Quek GL, Peelen MV
There is debate about how many items can be represented in visual consciousness at once. Evidence against the view that visual consciousness consists of many detailed items has come from a study using the partial-report paradigm. De Gardelle et al. (2009) showed that rotated letters shown in non-cued (i.e., unattended) parts of a briefly presented letter array are sometimes illusorily perceived as upright. Presumably, the expectation that letters are generally seen upright modulated a rotated le...

Exploring ethnic differences in the perioperative course of thoracic aortopathy.
Bacour N, Tirpan AU, Grewal S, Klautz RJM, Grewal N
Background: In patients with thoracic aortopathy post-operative recovery can be complicated by a lack of consistent, clear communication and guidance. Despite the growing recognition of these challenges, the specific needs of patients undergoing aortic surgery, especially across different ethnic groups, remain insufficiently explored. This study aims to examine the peri-operative course in thoracic aortopathy in order to identify the specific needs of the patients, particularly across ethnic gro...

[Cognitive bias in surgery: correctable failure or inevitably human?]
Hamming JF, Adriaanse MA
A review in the Annals of Surgery addressed the role of cognitive bias and heuristics in creating surgical complications and death. Bias and heuristics in decision making is not new, but the fact that surgeons and clinicians in general are influenced by them is apparently still noteworthy. The idea that clinicians act purely rational or should persists. But doctors are not computers. Nevertheless interventions aiming at improving behaviour of clinicians is based on the assumption that more knowl...

Nordic consensus document on Evolut FX+ transcatheter aortic valve implantation: optimizing index implantation and longer-term outcomes.
Khokhar AA, Savontaus M, Al-Ani A, Terkselsen CJ, Bieliauskas G, van der Heijden A, Amin AAA, James S, Russell K, De Backer O
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI) is an established treatment strategy for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS). Multiple landmark randomized controlled trials have consistently demonstrated the safety, efficacy, and longer-term durability of the CoreValve/Evolut (Medtronic, MN, USA) transcatheter aortic valve (TAV) platform in treating severe AS. These findings have supported the expansion of TAVI to younger patients with longer life expectancy, in whom an optimized...
