Vascular and endovascular surgery, Volume 56, Issue 5, 2 1 2022, Pages 472-479 Doppler Ultrasonography Derived Maximal Systolic Acceleration: Value Determination With Artificially Induced Stenosis. Brouwers JJWM, van Doorn LP, Pronk L, van Wissen RC, Putter H, Schepers A, Hamming JF
BackgroundIn diagnosing peripheral arterial disease (PAD), medial arterial calcification (MAC) hampers arterial compression and could lead to unreliable ankle brachial index (ABI), toe brachial index (TBI) and toe pressure (TP). Doppler ultrasonography (DUS) derived maximal systolic acceleration (ACCmax) might be more accurate to diagnose PAD. In an in vitro study, a strong correlation between ACCmax and the severity of stenotic disease was determined. The aim of this study was to investigate th... Abstract

The surgeon : journal of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons of Edinburgh and Ireland, Volume 21, Issue 1, 28 4 2022, Pages 1-7 Exploring the surgical personality. Sier VQ, Schmitz RF, Schepers A, van der Vorst JR
Surgery is a demanding field, requiring determination and emotional stability. This review explores the surgical personality, addressing international personality differences between surgical and non-surgical specialties. Across the globe, surgically-interested individuals (i.e., medical students, residents, surgeons) generally scored higher on conscientiousness, open mindedness, and extraversion, and lower on neuroticism compared to non-surgically-interested contemporaries. Extraversion was inv... Abstract

Chimed S, van der Bijl P, Lustosa RP, Hirasawa K, Yedidya I, Fortuni F, van der Velde E, Montero-Cabezas JM, Marsan NA, Gersh BJ, Delgado V, Bax JJ
ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) often leads to changes in right ventricular (RV) function and size over time. The prognostic implications of RV remodeling after STEMI, however, are unknown. RV remodeling in patients who underwent STEMI with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was defined by RV end-systolic area (RV ESA) change at 6 months after STEMI compared with baseline. The optimal threshold of RV ESA change (≥40%) to define RV remodeling was derived from spli... Abstract
