In-hospital Delay of Appendectomy in Acute, Complicated Appendicitis.
Bolmers MDM, de Jonge J, Bom WJ, van Rossem CC, van Geloven AAW, Bemelman WA, Snapshot Appendicitis Collaborative Study group
Background: Present theory is that uncomplicated and complicated appendicitis are different entities. Recent studies suggest it is safe to delay surgery in patients with uncomplicated appendicitis. We hypothesize that patients with complicated appendicitis are at higher risk for postoperative complications when surgery is delayed. Methods: Data was used from the multicenter, prospective SNAPSHOT appendicitis study of 1975 patients undergoing surgery for suspected appendicitis. Adult patients (≥ ...

Prognostic Implications of Right Ventricular Free Wall Strain in Recipients of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy.
Stassen J, van der Bijl P, Galloo X, Hirasawa K, Prihadi EA, Marsan NA, Bax JJ
Right ventricular (RV) function is an important prognostic marker in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) recipients. Measuring RV systolic function with echocardiography, however, remains challenging due to the complexity of right heart morphology. Evaluation of RV function with RV free wall strain (FWS) may improve risk stratification in recipients of CRT compared with conventional RV function parameters. In 871 recipients of CRT (mean age 65 ± 11 years, 75% were men), RV function was asses...

N-6-Methyladenosine in Vasoactive microRNAs during Hypoxia; A Novel Role for METTL4.
van den Homberg DAL, van der Kwast RVCT, Quax PHA, Nossent AY
N-6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent post-transcriptional RNA modification in eukaryotic cells. The modification is reversible and can be dynamically regulated by writer and eraser enzymes. Alteration in the levels of these enzymes can lead to changes in mRNA stability, alternative splicing or microRNA processing, depending on the m6A-binding proteins. Dynamic regulation of mRNA m6A methylation after ischemia and hypoxia influences mRNA stability, alternative splicing and translation,...

Immunosuppressive calcineurin inhibitor cyclosporine A induces proapoptotic endoplasmic reticulum stress in renal tubular cells.
Yilmaz DE, Kirschner K, Demirci H, Himmerkus N, Bachmann S, Mutig K
Current immunosuppressive strategies in organ transplantation rely on calcineurin inhibitors cyclosporine A (CsA) or tacrolimus (Tac). Both drugs are nephrotoxic, but CsA has been associated with greater renal damage than Tac. CsA inhibits calcineurin by forming complexes with cyclophilins, whose chaperone function is essential for proteostasis. We hypothesized that stronger toxicity of CsA may be related to suppression of cyclophilins with ensuing endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and unfolded...

Who Wants to Grant Robots Rights?
De Graaf MMA, Hindriks FA, Hindriks KV
The robot rights debate has thus far proceeded without any reliable data concerning the public opinion about robots and the rights they should have. We have administered an online survey (n = 439) that investigates layman's attitudes toward granting particular rights to robots. Furthermore, we have asked them the reasons for their willingness to grant them those rights. Finally, we have administered general perceptions of robots regarding appearance, capacities, and traits. Results show tha...

Bailout Intravascular Lithotripsy for the Treatment of Acutely Underexpanded Stents in Heavily Calcified Coronary Lesions: A Case Series.
Mousa MAA, Bingen BO, Amri IA, Digiacomo S, Karalis I, Jukema JW, Montero-Cabezas JM
Stent underexpansion is a common problem in heavily calcified coronary lesions treated with percutaneous coronary intervention, and has been associated with in-stent restenosis, stent thrombosis and, subsequently, poor clinical outcomes. Adequate preparation of heavily calcified coronary lesions (e.g. using non-compliant balloons, cutting/scoring balloons, rotational/orbital atherectomy or intravascular lithotripsy) prior to stent implantation is essential in preventing stent underexpansion. How...

Circulating miRNAs and Vascular Injury Markers Associate with Cardiovascular Function in Older Patients Reaching End-Stage Kidney Disease.
Zhao Q, Nooren SJL, Zijlstra LE, Westenberg JJM, Kroft LJM, Jukema JW, Berkhout-Byrne NC, Rabelink TJ, van Zonneveld AJ, van Buren M, Mooijaart SP, Bijkerk R
The prevalence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is rapidly increasing and mostly occurring in patients aged 65 years or older. The main cause of death in these patients is cardiovascular disease (CVD). Novel markers of vascular integrity may thus be of clinical value for identifying patients at high risk for CVD. Here we associated the levels of selected circulating angiogenic miRNAs, angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) with cardiovascular structure and function (as d...

Conditional immortalization of human atrial myocytes for the generation of in vitro models of atrial fibrillation.
Harlaar N, Dekker SO, Zhang J, Snabel RR, Veldkamp MW, Verkerk AO, Fabres CC, Schwach V, Lerink LJS, Rivaud MR, Mulder AA, Corver WE, Goumans MJTH, Dobrev D, Klautz RJM, Schalij MJ, Veenstra GJC, Passier R, van Brakel TJ, Pijnappels DA, de Vries AAF
The lack of a scalable and robust source of well-differentiated human atrial myocytes constrains the development of in vitro models of atrial fibrillation (AF). Here we show that fully functional atrial myocytes can be generated and expanded one-quadrillion-fold via a conditional cell-immortalization method relying on lentiviral vectors and the doxycycline-controlled expression of a recombinant viral oncogene in human foetal atrial myocytes, and that the immortalized cells can be used to generat...
