Dulfer RR, Koh EY, van der Plas WY, Engelsman AF, van Dijkum EJMN, Pol RA, Vogt L, de Borst MH, Kruijff S, Schepers A, Appelman-Dijkstra NM, Rotmans JI, Hesselink DA, van Eijck CHJ, Hoorn EJ, van Ginhoven TM, Dutch Hyperparathyroid Study Group
Introduction: Tertiary hyperparathyroidism (tHPT), i.e., persistent HPT after kidney transplantation, affects 17-50% of transplant recipients. Treatment of tHPT is mandatory since persistently elevated PTH concentrations after KTx increase the risk of renal allograft dysfunction and osteoporosis. The introduction of cinacalcet in 2004 seemed to offer a medical treatment alternative to parathyroidectomy (PTx). However, the optimal management of tHPT remains unclear. Methods: A retrospective analy...

Putting post-decision wagering to the test: a measure of self-perceived knowledge in basic sciences?
Versteeg M, Steendijk P
Introduction: Students learn more effectively when they know what they do not know. Gaining insight into students' metacognitive awareness is needed as misalignment between actual and self-perceived knowledge impedes their learning process. The optimal method of measuring self-perceived knowledge is still under debate. In this study, we evaluate the use of psychology-derived post-decision wagering for mapping students self-perceived knowledge. Methods: Students (n = 71) performed a pre-test...

Transcatheter heart valve interventions: where are we? Where are we going?
Prendergast BD, Baumgartner H, Delgado V, Gérard O, Haude M, Himmelmann A, Iung B, Leafstedt M, Lennartz J, Maisano F, Marinelli EA, Modine T, Mueller M, Redwood SR, Rörick O, Sahyoun C, Saillant E, Søndergaard L, Thoenes M, Thomitzek K, Tschernich M, Vahanian A, Wendler O, Zemke EJ, Bax JJ
Transcatheter heart valve interventions have transformed the outcomes of patients with valvular heart disease (VHD) who are unfavourable candidates for surgery. Technological advances have allowed extension of these interventions to younger or lower risk patients and those with other forms of VHD and may in the future permit earlier treatment of VHD in less symptomatic patients or those with moderate disease. The balance of risks and benefits is likely to differ between lower and higher risk pat...

An automated hybrid bioelectronic system for autogenous restoration of sinus rhythm in atrial fibrillation.
Nyns ECA, Poelma RH, Volkers L, Plomp JJ, Bart CI, Kip AM, van Brakel TJ, Zeppenfeld K, Schalij MJ, Zhang GQ, de Vries AAF, Pijnappels DA
Because of suboptimal therapeutic strategies, restoration of sinus rhythm in symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) often requires in-hospital delivery of high-voltage shocks, thereby precluding ambulatory AF termination. Continuous, rapid restoration of sinus rhythm is desired given the recurring and progressive nature of AF. Here, we present an automated hybrid bioelectronic system for shock-free termination of AF that enables the heart to act as an electric current generator for autogenous rest...

The Cdk8/19-cyclin C transcription regulator functions in genome replication through metazoan Sld7.
Köhler K, Sanchez-Pulido L, Höfer V, Marko A, Ponting CP, Snijders AP, Feederle R, Schepers A, Boos D
Accurate genome duplication underlies genetic homeostasis. Metazoan Mdm2 binding protein (MTBP) forms a main regulatory platform for origin firing together with Treslin/TICRR and TopBP1 (Topoisomerase II binding protein 1 (TopBP1)-interacting replication stimulating protein/TopBP1-interacting checkpoint and replication regulator). We report the first comprehensive analysis of MTBP and reveal conserved and metazoa-specific MTBP functions in replication. This suggests that metazoa have evolved spe...
