van Kessel SAM, Wielders CCH, van de Kassteele J, Verbon A, Schoffelen AF, ISIS-AR study group, SO-ZI/AMR study group
Background: Despite the low prevalence of infections due to vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) in the Netherlands, VRE is a frequent source of hospital outbreaks. We investigated whether a Poisson hidden Markov model (PHMM) can detect in-hospital VRE outbreaks in routine data from the Dutch Infectious Diseases Surveillance Information System for Antimicrobial Resistance (ISIS-AR). Methods: We performed a retrospective data linkage study from 2013 up to 2023, including data from 89 hospitals...

Psychological needs and well-being through the eyes of vocational students in Aruba, Dutch Caribbean.
Proveyer Llopiz MR, van Schaik SDM, Harkness S, Super CM, Denessen EJPG
Well-being has been thoroughly studied worldwide mostly using questionnaires. Still, it is unclear what well-being means in specific contexts, as studies found that both well-being and underlying psychological needs may vary across cultures. In Aruba, concerns were raised regarding youth well-being. Therefore, this project used a mixed-method approach to explore the development of young people's well-being in Aruba. By taking a culture and human development approach, this project aims to co...

Patterns of Recurrence After Postoperative Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Brain Metastases.
Crouzen JA, Petoukhova AL, Hakstege M, van Schaik EEMW, Nandoe Tewarie RDS, Nabuurs RJA, Vos MJ, Kerkhof M, van der Vaart T, Koekkoek JAF, Hagenbeek RE, Yildirim FM, Wiltink LM, van der Voort van Zyp NCMG, Kiderlen M, Broekman MLD, Mast ME, Zindler JD
Background/objectives: Neurosurgical resection is the standard treatment for large brain metastases (BMs). Postoperative stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) is used to reduce local recurrence (LR) but does not always prevent leptomeningeal disease (LMD). This study aims to analyze patterns of tumor recurrence and to identify opportunities for the further improvement of treatment efficacy. Methods: We included 147 patients who underwent resection and SRT for BMs. The distance between the resection ca...

Proactive Mapping and Preventive Ablation Reduce Defibrillator Implantation Rates in Tetralogy of Fallot.
Kimura Y, Wallet J, Brouwer C, Bokma JP, Bertels RA, Jongbloed MRM, Hazekamp MG, Blom NA, Zeppenfeld K
Background: In patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) and spontaneous ventricular tachycardia (VT), transection of slow-conducting anatomical isthmus (SCAI) by ablation results in excellent long-term VT-free survival. In patients without prior VT, proactive electroanatomical mapping and preventive SCAI ablation may impact patient selection for primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term o...

N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor hypofunction causes recurrent and transient failures of perceptual inference.
Weilnhammer V, Rothkirch M, Yilmaz D, Fritsch M, Ptasczynski LE, Reichenbach K, Roediger L, Corlett P, Sterzer P
Perception integrates external sensory signals with internal predictions that reflect prior knowledge about the world. Previous research suggests that this integration is governed by slow alternations between an external mode, driven by sensory signals, and an internal mode, shaped by prior knowledge. Using a double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over experiment in healthy human participants, we investigated the effects of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonist S-ketamine on the...

Cost-effectiveness of implementing a genotype-guided de-escalation strategy in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
van den Broek WWA, Azzahhafi J, Chan Pin Yin DRPP, van der Sangen NMR, Sivanesan S, Dijksman LM, Walhout RJ, Tjon Joe Gin M, Breet NJ, Langerveld J, Vlachojannis GJ, van Bommel RJ, Appelman Y, van Schaik RHN, Henriques JPS, Kikkert WJ, Ten Berg JM
Aims: A genotype-guided P2Y12-inhibitor de-escalation strategy, switching acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients without a CYP2C19 loss-of-function allele from ticagrelor or prasugrel to clopidogrel, has shown to reduce bleeding risk without affecting the effectivity of therapy by increasing ischaemic risk. We estimated the cost-effectiveness of this personalized approach compared to standard dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT; aspirin plus ticagrelor/prasugrel) in the Netherlands. Methods and resu...

Patchy Distribution of Potato Cyst Nematodes Within Single Arable Fields Reveals Local Disease Suppressiveness Mediated by Disparate Microbial Communities.
van Himbeeck R, Geisen S, van Schaik C, van den Elsen S, Berendsen R, Bertran A, Schepel E, Helder J
Disease suppressiveness is a complex phenomenon that is assumed to be the resultant of the actions of local microbial antagonists. Exploitation of disease suppressiveness as a tool to manage pathogens is hindered by our poor understanding of this phenomenon. Here we investigated soil microbiome-based suppression of potato cyst nematodes (PCN), and to this end, four apparently homogeneous potato fields with an unexplained non-homogeneous PCN distribution were selected. We hypothesised that this p...

Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement For Bicuspid And Tricuspid Valve Disease: 7-Year Outcomes In >1100 Patients.
Labrousse L, Moront MG, Dagenais F, Reardon MJ, Deeb GM, Günzinger R, Ruel M, Wu T, Klautz RJM, Sabik JF
Introduction: Bicuspid aortic valve affects 0.5-2% of the population in developed countries. Given uncertainties about the best aortic valve replacement (AVR) option in this often younger, low-risk, population, it is important to understand how newer bioprostheses perform in these patients. The primary objective of this analysis was to compare 7-year outcomes of surgical AVR (SAVR) with the Avalus bioprosthesis between patients with a congenital bicuspid or tricuspid valve. Methods: This prospec...

[Bilateral femoral fractures due to bisphosphonate use].
Reijmer JFH, van Schaik TJA, Vermeulen MAR, van der Stappen WJM, Strang S
The risk of an atypical femoral fracture increases with the use of bisphosphonates for longer than 5 years. The typical presentation of an atypical femoral fracture consists of a transverse subtrochanteric femoral fracture originating from the lateral cortex with a medial spike, occurring after minimal or no trauma. For patients presenting with a spontaneous femoral fracture who are using bisphosphonates, it is recommended to discontinue bisphosphonate use and to determine the future fracture ri...

Major nuclear locales define nuclear genome organization and function beyond A and B compartments.
Gholamalamdari O, van Schaik T, Wang Y, Kumar P, Zhang L, Zhang Y, Gonzalez GAH, Vouzas AE, Zhao PA, Gilbert DM, Ma J, van Steensel B, Belmont AS
Models of nuclear genome organization often propose a binary division into active versus inactive compartments yet typically overlook nuclear bodies. Here, we integrated analysis of sequencing and image-based data to compare genome organization in four human cell types relative to three different nuclear locales: the nuclear lamina, nuclear speckles, and nucleoli. Although gene expression correlates mostly with nuclear speckle proximity, DNA replication timing correlates with proximity to multip...

Early versus late chest tube removal after surgery for primary spontaneous pneumothorax-a systematic review and meta-analysis.
van Steenwijk QCA, Spaans LN, Braun J, Dijkgraaf MGW, van den Broek FJC
Background: The optimal timing of postoperative chest tube removal remains disputable. Traditionally, chest tubes are left in place for several days for adequate pleurodesis and recurrence prevention after surgery for primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP). Currently, early tube removal, defined as immediate removal upon cessation of air leakage, is increasingly practiced. This study aimed to evaluate the safety of early chest tube removal in terms of recurrence in these patients. Methods: MEDLI...
