A comparison of response in the presence or absence of a delay in induction therapy with bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone.
Schepers AJ, Jones AR, Reeves BN, Tuchman SA, Bates JS
Purpose: Lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (RVd) has emerged as a preferred induction therapy in multiple myeloma (MM) in the United States. Due to lenalidomide's teratogenic risk, patients and prescribers must comply with a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) program. The REMS program limits dispensing to certain third-party specialty pharmacies, whose average prescription fill times are longer than in-house specialty pharmacies. In practice, a delay in procurement of...

Qualitative evaluation of coronary atherosclerosis in a large cohort of young and middle-aged Dutch tissue donors implies that coronary thrombo-embolic manifestations are stochastic.
Lindeman JH, Hulsbos L, van den Bogaerdt AJ, Geerts M, van Gool AJ, Hamming JF, van Dijk RA, Schaapherder AF
Background and aims: With the intention to gain support for the hypothesis that incident ischemic complications of atherosclerotic disease involve a stochastic aspect, we performed a histological, qualitative evaluation of the epidemiology of coronary atherosclerotic disease in a cohort of aortic valve donors. Patients and methods: Donors (n = 695, median age 54, range 11-65 years) were dichotomized into a non-cardiovascular (non-CVD) and a cardiovascular disease death (CVD) group. Consecutive 5...

Ruppé E, Ghozlane A, Tap J, Pons N, Alvarez AS, Maziers N, Cuesta T, Hernando-Amado S, Clares I, Martínez JL, Coque TM, Baquero F, Lanza VF, Máiz L, Goulenok T, de Lastours V, Amor N, Fantin B, Wieder I, Andremont A, van Schaik W, Rogers M, Zhang X, Willems RJL, de Brevern AG, Batto JM, Blottière HM, Léonard P, Léjard V, Letur A, Levenez F, Weiszer K, Haimet F, Doré J, Kennedy SP, Ehrlich SD
The intestinal microbiota is considered to be a major reservoir of antibiotic resistance determinants (ARDs) that could potentially be transferred to bacterial pathogens via mobile genetic elements. Yet, this assumption is poorly supported by empirical evidence due to the distant homologies between known ARDs (mostly from culturable bacteria) and ARDs from the intestinal microbiota. Consequently, an accurate census of intestinal ARDs (that is, the intestinal resistome) has not yet been fully det...

A stochastic simulation model to study respondent-driven recruitment.
Stein ML, Buskens V, van der Heijden PGM, van Steenbergen JE, Wong A, Bootsma MCJ, Kretzschmar MEE
Respondent-driven detection is a chain recruitment method used to sample contact persons of infected persons in order to enhance case finding. It starts with initial individuals, so-called seeds, who are invited for participation. Afterwards, seeds receive a fixed number of coupons to invite individuals with whom they had contact during a specific time period. Recruitees are then asked to do the same, resulting in successive waves of contact persons who are connected in one recruitment tree. How...

According to the current dogma, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) decreases high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol (C) and increases low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-C. However, detailed insight into the effects of CETP on lipoprotein subclasses is lacking. Therefore, we used a Mendelian randomization approach based on a genetic score for serum CETP concentration (rs247616, rs12720922 and rs1968905) to estimate causal effects per unit (µg/mL) increase in CETP on 159 standardized metabol...

Disruption of RHOA-ROCK Signaling Results in Atrioventricular Block and Disturbed Development of the Putative Atrioventricular Node.
Kelder TP, Vicente-Steijn R, Poelmann RE, Schalij MJ, Deruiter MC, Jongbloed MRM, Gittenberger-de Groot AC
The RHOA-ROCK signaling pathway is involved in numerous developmental processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation and migration. RHOA is expressed in the atrioventricular node (AVN) and altered expression of RHOA results in atrioventricular (AV) conduction disorders in mice. The current study aims to detect functional AVN disorders after disturbing RHOA-ROCK signaling in chicken embryos. RHOA-ROCK signaling was inhibited chemically by using the Rho-kinase inhibitor compound Y-27632...
