Reducing functional dysconnectivity in people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
Wunderlich S, Keeser D, Spaeth J, Yilmaz D, Maurus I, Alici C, Schmitt A, Falkai P, Stoecklein S, Roell L
Background: The dysconnection hypothesis of schizophrenia posits that widespread synaptic inefficiencies lead to altered macroscale brain connectivity, contributing to symptom severity and cognitive deficits in individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD). Emerging evidence suggests that physical exercise may help to ameliorate these connectivity abnormalities and associated clinical impairments. Aims: This study investigated whether reductions in functional dysconnectivity following...

Resistance to last-resort antibiotics in enterococci.
Lu Z, Mclnnes RS, Allen F, Gadar K, van Schaik W
The genus Enterococcus comprises a diverse group of species, many of which are commensal members of the gut microbiota of humans and animals. The two most prominent species associated with humans, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium, have also emerged as prominent opportunistic pathogens causing a range of infections in hospitalised patients, including urinary tract infections, bloodstream infections and endocarditis. The rise of antibiotic resistance in enterococci undermines the eff...

Vascular access and mortality outcomes: insights from the Percutaneous Coronary Interventions registry from the Netherlands Heart Registration.
Karalis I, Timmermans MJ, Tuccillo A, Jukema JW, Derks L, Verbeek EC, Amoroso G, PCI Registration Committee of the Netherlands Heart Registration (NHR)
Objectives: While the transradial approach (TRA) is associated with fewer bleeding complications than the transfemoral approach (TFA), its effect on mortality outcomes in real-world clinical practice remains unclear. This study examines the relationship between vascular access site and mortality in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: This retrospective cohort study used prospectively collected data from the Netherlands Heart Registration, including 130,813 PCI...

Epigenetic age and telomere length correlations in pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis.
Yang JH, Race J, Sumowski P, Jacques K, Fardad S, Fair A, Hazlett A, Lin J, Yilmaz D, Aaen G, Abrams A, Benson L, Casper TC, Chitnis T, Gorman M, Lotze T, Krupp L, Mar S, Ness J, Rensel M, Rose J, Schreiner T, Tillema JM, Waldman A, Wheeler Y, Barcellos LF, Waubant E, Graves JS
Background: Age is the strongest factor determining disease expression in multiple sclerosis (MS). We previously demonstrated biological age acceleration in pediatric-onset MS (POMS) compared to controls with both epigenetic clocks (DNAm) and telomere length (TL). It is unknown whether these markers report overlapping or distinct aging-related processes. Objectives: To determine the correlation between DNAm and TL aging markers. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional case-control study within t...

Maaniitty T, Bär S, Nabeta T, Bax JJ, Saraste A, Knuuti J
Background: Artificial intelligence-guided quantitative computed tomography ischemia (AI-QCTischemia) is a novel machine-learning method for predicting myocardial ischemia from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). This observational cohort study aimed to compare the long-term prognostic value of AI-QCTischemia with hybrid CCTA/positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging in suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).

Trends and risk factors of stroke and mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation in the Netherlands.
van Putten SE, Hegeman RRMJJ, Timmers L, Overduin DC, Nieuwkerk PT, Peper J, Roefs MM, Sonker U, Rensing BJWM, Swaans MJ, Klautz RJM, Ten Berg J, Klein P, THI Registration Committee of the Netherlands Heart Registration
Background: Stroke after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an infrequent but serious complication with important impact on morbidity and mortality. Contemporary real-world evidence on the risk factors of early stroke after TAVI is scarce. We aimed to evaluate the incidence, temporal trends and predictors of in-hospital stroke after TAVI and to assess its association with mortality. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, observational cohort study using data from the Netherlands H...

Role of Epidural Anaesthesia in Elective Open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: Secondary Analysis of a Randomised Trial.
Steunenberg TAH, Eberl S, Wiersema AM, Roosendaal LC, Hoebink M, Jongkind V, ACTION-1 Investigators
Objective: Using peri-operative epidural anaesthesia (PEA) during elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair is debated by surgeons and anaesthesiologists. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical benefits and risks of PEA in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair.

Effect of vibration on pain during subcutaneous heparin injection: A randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Yılmaz D, Güney BG
Objectives: The administration of subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) injections frequently causes injection pain, disrupting the comfort of patients. No studies were found evaluating the effect of the application of local vibration in the management of pain relating to subcutaneous LMWH injection. The aim of this study is to examine the effect on injection pain of the local vibration technique applied to the injection site during subcutaneous LMWH injection. Methods: The patients w...

Parental investment and body temperature explain encephalization in vertebrates.
Song Z, Griesser M, van Schaik CP
The systematic variation in relative brain size among vertebrate classes remains poorly understood. Here, based on the expensive brain hypothesis, we propose that two broad constraints explain much of the variation: 1) the ability to produce large offspring, and so provide them with the energy required for constructing larger brains, and 2) the ability to sustain continuously high body temperatures, because cooler and varying brain temperatures reduce brain performance and thus fitness. We there...

Breaking (Light) Barriers: Photoacoustics in Atherosclerotic Diseases.
van Dijk K, de Vries MR
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging imaging modality that provides high-resolution, spatiotemporal insights into anatomical structures, functional parameters and molecular characteristics of tissues. By leveraging both endogenous absorbers, such as lipids and collagen, and exogenous contrast agents like nanoparticles and molecular dyes, PAI offers a comprehensive approach to characterising atherosclerosis. This review describes the technical principles underlying various PAI modalities an...
