Intraoperative near-infrared fluorescence imaging of parathyroid adenomas with use of low-dose methylene blue.
van der Vorst JR, Schaafsma BE, Verbeek FP, Swijnenburg RJ, Tummers QR, Hutteman M, Hamming JF, Kievit J, Frangioni JV, van de Velde CJ, Vahrmeijer AL
Background: Intraoperative identification of parathyroid adenomas can be challenging. We hypothesized that low-doses methylene blue (MB) and near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging could be used to identify parathyroid adenomas intraoperatively. Methods: MB was injected intravenously after exploration at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg into 12 patients who underwent parathyroid surgery. NIRF imaging was performed using the Mini-FLARE imaging system. Results: In 10 of 12 patients, histology confirmed a par...

Echocardiographical determinants of an abnormal spatial QRS-T angle in chronic dialysis patients.
de Bie MK, Ajmone Marsan N, Gaasbeek A, Bax JJ, Delgado V, Rabelink TJ, Schalij MJ, Jukema JW
Background: The spatial QRS-T angle describes the relation between ventricular depolarization and repolarization. Having a wide (abnormal) angle is considered an important predictor of arrhythmic events. Given the high incidence of sudden cardiac death in dialysis patients, this parameter is of particular interest in this patient group. The objective of this study was to assess the association of (modifiable) echocardiographic parameters and an abnormal spatial QRS-T angle in dialysis patients....

Long term effects of epoetin alfa in patients with ST- elevation myocardial infarction.
Fokkema ML, Kleijn L, van der Meer P, Belonje AM, Achterhof SK, Hillege HL, van 't Hof A, Jukema JW, Peels HO, Henriques JP, ten Berg JM, Vos J, van Gilst WH, van Veldhuisen DJ, Voors AA
Purpose: The HEBE III trial showed that epoetin alfa administration in patients with a first ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) did not improve left ventricular function at 6 weeks after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The long term effects of erythropoiesis- stimulating agents on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are unknown, therefore we evaluated clinical events at 1 year after PCI. Methods: A total of 529 patients with a first STEMI and successful primary PCI w...

Fritz H, Abdelsalam M, Ali KA, Bingen B, Collins AS, Fowler AR, Ghebreab W, Hauzenberger CA, Johnson PR, Kusky TM, Macey P, Muhongo S, Stern RJ, Viola G
The East African Orogen, extending from southern Israel, Sinai and Jordan in the north to Mozambique and Madagascar in the south, is the world́s largest Neoproterozoic to Cambrian orogenic complex. It comprises a collage of individual oceanic domains and continental fragments between the Archean Sahara-Congo-Kalahari Cratons in the west and Neoproterozoic India in the east. Orogen consolidation was achieved during distinct phases of orogeny between ∼850 and 550 Ma. The northern part of the oroge...

Determinants of virulence of influenza A virus.
Schrauwen EJ, de Graaf M, Herfst S, Rimmelzwaan GF, Osterhaus AD, Fouchier RA
Influenza A viruses cause yearly seasonal epidemics and occasional global pandemics in humans. In the last century, four human influenza A virus pandemics have occurred. Occasionally, influenza A viruses that circulate in other species cross the species barrier and infect humans. Virus reassortment (i.e. mixing of gene segments of multiple viruses) and the accumulation of mutations contribute to the emergence of new influenza A virus variants. Fortunately, most of these variants do not have the...

Primary closure using Redon drains for the treatment of post-sternotomy mediastinitis.
Vos RJ, van Putte BP, Sonker U, Kloppenburg GT
Objectives: Post-sternotomy mediastinitis is a severe complication of open heart surgery resulting in prolonged hospital stay and increased mortality. Vacuum-assisted closure is commonly used as treatment for post-sternotomy mediastinitis, but has some disadvantages. Primary closure over high vacuum suction Redon drains previously has shown to be an alternative approach with promising results. We report our short- and long-term results of Redon therapy-treated mediastinitis. Methods: We performe...

Atrium-specific Kir3.x determines inducibility, dynamics, and termination of fibrillation by regulating restitution-driven alternans.
Bingen BO, Neshati Z, Askar SF, Kazbanov IV, Ypey DL, Panfilov AV, Schalij MJ, de Vries AA, Pijnappels DA
Background: Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. Ventricular proarrhythmia hinders pharmacological atrial fibrillation treatment. Modulation of atrium-specific Kir3.x channels, which generate a constitutively active current (I(K,ACh-c)) after atrial remodeling, might circumvent this problem. However, it is unknown whether and how I(K,ACh-c) contributes to atrial fibrillation induction, dynamics, and termination. Therefore, we investigated the effects of I(K,ACh-c) blockade...

Erythrocyte-bound apolipoprotein B in relation to atherosclerosis, serum lipids and ABO blood group.
Klop B, van de Geijn GJ, Bovenberg SA, van der Meulen N, Elte JW, Birnie E, Njo TL, Janssen HW, van Miltenburg A, Jukema JW, Cabezas MC
Introduction: Erythrocytes carry apolipoprotein B on their membrane, but the determining factors of erythrocyte-bound apolipoprotein B (ery-apoB) are unknown. We aimed to explore the determinants of ery-apoB to gain more insight into potential mechanisms. Methods: Subjects with and without CVD were included (N = 398). Ery-apoB was measured on fresh whole blood samples using flow cytometry. Subjects with ery-apoB levels ≤ 0.20 a.u. were considered deficient. Carotid intima media thickness (CIMT)...

BMP7 activates brown adipose tissue and reduces diet-induced obesity only at subthermoneutrality.
Boon MR, van den Berg SA, van den Berg SA, Wang Y, van den Bossche J, Karkampouna S, Bauwens M, De Saint-Hubert M, van der Horst G, Vukicevic S, de Winther MP, Havekes LM, Jukema JW, Tamsma JT, van der Pluijm G, van Dijk KW, Rensen PC
Background/aims: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates energy stored in triglycerides as heat via the uncoupling protein UCP-1 and is a promising target to combat hyperlipidemia and obesity. BAT is densely innervated by the sympathetic nervous system, which increases BAT differentiation and activity upon cold exposure. Recently, Bone Morphogenetic Protein 7 (BMP7) was identified as an inducer of BAT differentiation. We aimed to elucidate the role of sympathetic activation in the effect of BMP7 o...

Initial human feasibility of infusion needle catheter ablation for refractory ventricular tachycardia.
Sapp JL, Beeckler C, Pike R, Parkash R, Gray CJ, Zeppenfeld K, Kuriachan V, Stevenson WG
Background: Ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) is sometimes unsuccessful when ablation lesions are of insufficient depth to reach arrhythmogenic substrate. We report the initial experience with the use of a catheter with an extendable/retractable irrigated needle at the tip capable of intramyocardial mapping and ablation. Methods and results: Sequential consenting patients with recurrent VT underwent ablation with the use of a needle-tipped catheter. At target sites, the needle was advance...

Many common genetic variants identified by genome-wide association studies for complex traits map to genes previously linked to rare inherited Mendelian disorders. A systematic analysis of common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes responsible for Mendelian diseases with kidney phenotypes has not been performed. We thus developed a comprehensive database of genes for Mendelian kidney conditions and evaluated the association between common genetic variants within these genes and kidne...
