Infection and immunity, Volume 88, Issue 3, 20 3 2020, Pages e00690-19 The Staphylococcus aureus Cystine Transporters TcyABC and TcyP Facilitate Nutrient Sulfur Acquisition during Infection. Lensmire JM, Dodson JP, Hsueh BY, Wischer MR, Delekta PC, Shook JC, Ottosen EN, Kies PJ, Ravi J, Hammer ND

Staphylococcus aureus is a significant human pathogen due to its capacity to cause a multitude of diseases. As such, S. aureus efficiently pillages vital nutrients from the host; however, the molecular mechanisms that support sulfur acquisition during infection have not been established. One of the most abundant extracellular sulfur-containing metabolites within the host is cysteine, which acts as the major redox buffer in the blood by transitioning between reduced and oxidized (cystine) forms....

BMJ open, Volume 10, Issue 2, 18 3 2020, Pages e033584 Postoperative surveillance and long-term outcome after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair in the Netherlands: study protocol for the retrospective ODYSSEUS study. Geraedts ACM, de Mik S, Ubbink D, Koelemay M, Balm R, ODYSSEUS study group

Introduction: Strict imaging surveillance protocols to detect complications following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) are common practice. However, controversy exists as to whether all EVAR patients need intense surveillance. The 2019 European Society for Vascular Surgery guidelines for management of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) suggest that patients may be considered for limited follow-up with imaging if classified as 'low risk' for complications based on their initial postoper...

International journal of cardiology, Volume 306, 17 3 2020, Pages 78-85 Coronary anomalies in tetralogy of Fallot - A meta-analysis. Koppel CJ, Jongbloed MRM, Kiès P, Hazekamp MG, Mertens BJA, Schalij MJ, Vliegen HW

Background: An anomalous coronary artery is reported in 2% to 23% of patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Knowledge of coronary anatomy prior to corrective surgery is vital to avoid damage to vessels crossing the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). A meta-analysis on the prevalence of anomalous coronary arteries in TOF is lacking to date. Here, an overview of coronary anomalies in TOF is provided and implications for patient management are discussed. Methods: PubMed, Embase and Web of Sc... Abstract

Aims: Left ventricular (LV) remodelling after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) worsens outcome. The effect of sex on LV post-infarct remodelling is unknown. We therefore investigated the sex distribution and long-term prognosis of LV post-infarct remodelling after STEMI in the contemporary era of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and optimal pharmacotherapy. Methods and results: Data were obtained from an ongoing primary PCI STEMI registry. LV remodelling was def... Abstract

BMC plant biology, Volume 20, Issue 1, 13 2 2020, Pages 73 The TIR-NB-LRR pair DSC1 and WRKY19 contributes to basal immunity of Arabidopsis to the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita. Warmerdam S, Sterken MG, Sukarta OCA, van Schaik CC, Oortwijn MEP, Lozano-Torres JL, Bakker J, Smant G, Goverse A

Background: Root-knot nematodes transform vascular host cells into permanent feeding structures to withdraw nutrients from the host plant. Ecotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana can display large quantitative variation in susceptibility to the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita, which is thought to be independent of dominant major resistance genes. However, in an earlier genome-wide association study of the interaction between Arabidopsis and M. incognita we identified a quantitative trait locus... Abstract

Talanta, Volume 214, 12 2 2020, Pages 120828 Monitoring forced degradation of drugs using silica coated AgNPs with surface-enhanced Raman scattering. Yilmaz H, Cobandede Z, Yilmaz D, Cinkilic A, Culha M, Demiralay EC

Potential degradation products (DPs), even in small concentrations, can cause changes in pharmacological and toxicological properties of a drug with a significant impact on product quality and safety. Thus, their stability and understanding of possible degradation mechanisms have a significant importance. Although liquid chromatography is the conventional technique used for forced degradation studies with excellent accuracy and reproducibility, the main disadvantages of the technique are being e...

Background: Bronchial Thermoplasty (BT) is an endoscopic treatment for severe asthma using radiofrequency energy to target airway remodeling including smooth muscle. The correlation of pulmonary function tests and BT response are largely unknown.

mBio, Volume 11, Issue 1, 11 2 2020, Pages e03284-19 Plasmids Shaped the Recent Emergence of the Major Nosocomial Pathogen Enterococcus faecium. Arredondo-Alonso S, Top J, McNally A, Puranen S, Pesonen M, Pensar J, Marttinen P, Braat JC, Rogers MRC, van Schaik W, Kaski S, Willems RJL, Corander J, Schürch AC

Enterococcus faecium is a gut commensal of humans and animals but is also listed on the WHO global priority list of multidrug-resistant pathogens. Many of its antibiotic resistance traits reside on plasmids and have the potential to be disseminated by horizontal gene transfer. Here, we present the first comprehensive population-wide analysis of the pan-plasmidome of a clinically important bacterium, by whole-genome sequence analysis of 1,644 isolates from hospital, commensal, and animal sources...

Aorto-ventricular tunnel (AoVT), a rare congenital anomaly, is a channel originating in the ascending aorta just above the sinotubular junction and leading to the cavity of the left ventricle (AoLVT), or, rarely, the right (AoRVT). This study reviews our collective 30-year experience with the surgical treatment of AoVT. Data were submitted by 15 participating centers on 42 patients who underwent correction of AoVT between 1987 and 2018. Of these, 36 had AoLVT, and 6 AoRVT. The tunnel originated... Abstract

Zoonoses and public health, Volume 67, Issue 4, 9 2 2020, Pages 453-459 Norovirus outbreak in a natural playground: A One Health approach. Sips GJ, Dirven MJG, Donkervoort JT, van Kolfschoten FM, Schapendonk CME, Phan MVT, Bloem A, van Leeuwen AF, Trompenaars ME, Koopmans MPG, van der Eijk AA, de Graaf M, Fanoy EB

Norovirus constitutes the most frequently identified infectious cause of disease outbreaks associated with untreated recreational water. When investigating outbreaks related to surface water, a One Health approach is insightful. Historically, there has been a focus on potential contamination of recreational water by bird droppings and a recent publication demonstrating human noroviruses in bird faeces suggested this should be investigated in future water-related norovirus outbreaks. Here, we des... Abstract

Simoons M, Mulder H, Appeldoorn JTY, Risselada AJ, Schene AH, van Schaik RHN, van Roon EN, Ruhé EG

Background: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) exert substantial variability in effectiveness in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), with up to 50-60% not achieving adequate response. Elucidating pharmacokinetic factors that explain this variability is important to increase treatment effectiveness. Objectives: To examine potential modification of the relationship between paroxetine serum concentration (PSC) and serotonin transporter (SERT)-occupancy by single nucleotide p... Abstract
