Fetal and infant growth patterns and kidney function at school age.
Bakker H, Gaillard R, Franco OH, Hofman A, van der Heijden AJ, Steegers EA, Taal HR, Jaddoe VW
Low birth weight is associated with ESRD. To identify specific growth patterns in early life that may be related to kidney function in later life, we examined the associations of longitudinally measured fetal and infant growth with kidney function in school-aged children. This study was embedded in a population-based prospective cohort study among 6482 children followed from fetal life onward. Fetal and childhood growth was measured during second and third trimesters of pregnancy, at birth, and...

Career-long learning: relationship between cognitive and metacognitive skills.
Burman NJ, Boscardin CK, Van Schaik SM
Objectives: Physicians need metacognitive skills including reflection and goal generation for effective lifelong learning (LLL). These skills are not readily assessed and may not correlate with cognitive skills. We examined early-career physicians' metacognition and relationships between metacognitive skills, cognitive skills, and orientation toward LLL. Methods: Pediatric fellows at UCSF document career progress in annual Individual Development Plans (IDPs). To assess metacognitive skill...

Unroofed coronary sinus newly diagnosed in adult patients after corrected congenital heart disease.
Pérez Matos AJ, Planken RN, Bouma BJ, Groenink M, Backx AP, de Winter RJ, Koolbergen DR, Mulder BJ, Boekholdt SM
Patients with congenital heart disease corrected in early childhood may later in life present with cardiac symptoms caused by other associated congenital anomalies that were initially not diagnosed. Nowadays, several noninvasive imaging modalities are available for the visualisation of cardiac anatomy in great detail. We describe two patients with an unroofed coronary sinus, a rare congenital anomaly which could be diagnosed using a combination of modalities including echocardiography, cardiac C...

Avian influenza A viruses: from zoonosis to pandemic.
Richard M, de Graaf M, Herfst S
Zoonotic influenza A viruses originating from the animal reservoir pose a threat for humans, as they have the ability to trigger pandemics upon adaptation to and invasion of an immunologically naive population. Of particular concern are the H5N1 viruses that continue to circulate in poultry in numerous countries in Europe, Asia and Africa, and the recently emerged H7N9 viruses in China, due to their relatively high number of human fatalities and pandemic potential. To start a pandemic, zoonotic...

Inferences about the transmission of Schmallenberg virus within and between farms.
Gubbins S, Turner J, Baylis M, van der Stede Y, van Schaik G, Abrahantes JC, Wilson AJ
In the summer of 2011 Schmallenberg virus (SBV), a Culicoides-borne orthobunyavirus, emerged in Germany and The Netherlands and subsequently spread across much of Europe. To draw inferences about the transmission of SBV we have developed two models to describe its spread within and between farms. The within-farm model was fitted to seroprevalence data for cattle and sheep farms in Belgium and The Netherlands, with parameters estimated using approximate Bayesian computation. Despite the short dur...

The Carriage Of Multiresistant Bacteria After Travel (COMBAT) prospective cohort study: methodology and design.
Arcilla MS, van Hattem JM, Bootsma MC, van Genderen PJ, Goorhuis A, Schultsz C, Stobberingh EE, Verbrugh HA, de Jong MD, Melles DC, Penders J
Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the major threats to public health around the world. Besides the intense use and misuse of antimicrobial agents as the major force behind the increase in antimicrobial resistance, the exponential increase of international travel may also substantially contribute to the emergence and spread of AMR. However, knowledge on the extent to which international travel contributes to this is still limited. The Carriage Of Multiresistant Bacteria After T...

In search for genetic determinants of clinically meaningful differential cardiovascular event reduction by pravastatin in the PHArmacogenetic study of Statins in the Elderly at risk (PHASE)/PROSPER study.
Postmus I, Johnson PC, Trompet S, de Craen AJ, Slagboom PE, Devlin JJ, Shiffman D, Sacks FM, Kearney PM, Stott DJ, Buckley BM, Sattar N, Ford I, Westendorp RG, Jukema JW
Background: Statin therapy is widely used in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular events and is associated with significant risk reductions. However, there is considerable variation in response to statin therapy both in terms of LDL cholesterol reduction and clinical outcomes. It has been hypothesized that genetic variation contributes importantly to this individual drug response. Methods and results: We investigated the interaction between genetic variants and pravastatin or placebo t...

Graves' disease as an uncommon cause of acute pericarditis.
Kortekaas KA, van der Lienden B, Jong S, Riezebos R
Acute pericarditis is either dry, fibrinous or effusive, independent of its aetiology. A case is presented involving a 44-year-old man with acute pericarditis. The cause was established to be an aggravation of Graves' disease due to non-compliance with treatment. Pericarditis is an uncommon cardiac complication of Graves' disease and is associated with more recurrent episodes when not detected. Pharmacological treatment should include anti-inflammatory drugs in combination with treatme...

The multifaceted functions of CXCL10 in cardiovascular disease.
van den Borne P, Quax PH, Hoefer IE, Pasterkamp G
C-X-C motif ligand 10 (CXCL10), or interferon-inducible protein-10, is a small chemokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. Its members are responsible for leukocyte trafficking and act on tissue cells, like endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells. CXCL10 is secreted by leukocytes and tissue cells and functions as a chemoattractant, mainly for lymphocytes. After binding to its receptor CXCR3, CXCL10 evokes a range of inflammatory responses: key features in cardiovascular disease (CVD)....

Cognition presents evolutionary research with one of its greatest challenges. Cognitive evolution has been explained at the proximate level by shifts in absolute and relative brain volume and at the ultimate level by differences in social and dietary complexity. However, no study has integrated the experimental and phylogenetic approach at the scale required to rigorously test these explanations. Instead, previous research has largely relied on various measures of brain size as proxies for cogni...

Evaluation of the use of dry cow antibiotics in low somatic cell count cows.
Scherpenzeel CG, den Uijl IE, van Schaik G, Olde Riekerink RG, Keurentjes JM, Lam TJ
The goal of dry cow therapy (DCT) is to reduce the prevalence of intramammary infections (IMI) by eliminating existing IMI at drying off and preventing new IMI from occurring during the dry period. Due to public health concerns, however, preventive use of antibiotics has become questionable. This study evaluated selective DCT in 1,657 cows with low somatic cell count (SCC) at the last milk recording before drying off in 97 Dutch dairy herds. Low SCC was defined as

Primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation in elderly patients: is it justified to withhold treatment?
van der Heijden AC, van Erven L, Schalij MJ, Borleffs CJ
Implementation of primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) treatment in the current clinical guidelines led to a significant increase in patients that may benefit from implantation of an ICD. Currently non-guideline-guided patient selection takes place by physicians whereby patients at higher age are more frequently excluded for ICD implantation. This editorial focuses on ICD treatment in the elderly and aims to clarify whether it is justified to withhold ICD treatment in...

Effects of selective digestive decontamination (SDD) on the gut resistome.
Buelow E, Gonzalez TB, Versluis D, Oostdijk EA, Ogilvie LA, van Mourik MS, Oosterink E, van Passel MW, Smidt H, D'Andrea MM, de Been M, Jones BV, Willems RJ, Bonten MJ, van Schaik W
Objectives: Selective digestive decontamination (SDD) is an infection prevention measure for critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs) that aims to eradicate opportunistic pathogens from the oropharynx and intestines, while sparing the anaerobic flora, by the application of non-absorbable antibiotics. Selection for antibiotic-resistant bacteria is still a major concern for SDD. We therefore studied the impact of SDD on the reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (i.e. the resistome...
