Norovirus Infection in Harbor Porpoises.
de Graaf M, Bodewes R, van Elk CE, van de Bildt M, Getu S, Aron GI, Verjans GM, Osterhaus AD, van den Brand JM, Kuiken T, Koopmans MP
A norovirus was detected in harbor porpoises, a previously unknown host for norovirus. This norovirus had low similarity to any known norovirus. Viral RNA was detected primarily in intestinal tissue, and specific serum antibodies were detected in 8 (24%) of 34 harbor porpoises from the North Sea.

[Assessments during Medical Specialists Training: quantity or quality?]
Hamming JF
Structured assessments form a mandatory part of Dutch Medical Specialist Training, but create administrative workload for both the staff and supervisors. One could argue that the quality of the narrative feedback is more important than the extensive reporting in learning portfolios, and that the focus should be on continuous on-the-job coaching.

[How we can learn better and more safely from serious incidents; translation of 'Just Culture' and 'Safety-II' into clinical practice].
de Vos MS, den Dijker L, Hamming JF
After a serious incident, all involved expect it will provide an opportunity to learn and that improvements will follow. However, 'safe' learning is often threatened due to a primary focus on accountability. Focus should, instead, be on the needs of both patients and care providers, with the goal of repairing damage and restoring trust in the wider sense - a culture of justice ('Just Culture'). Common daily practice is a more realistic focus for further investigation, with ac...

[How does a surgeon decide that surgery is the best option?Assessing whether or not to operate].
Hamming JF, Marang-van de Mheen PJ
All abdominal surgical procedures have a certain risk/benefit ratio. Recently, the way surgeons come to a decision whether to operate, or not, was discussed in the Annals of Surgery. First, the assessment of the decision for an operative versus a non-operative strategy was addressed on the basis of clinical vignettes. The perceptions concerning risk/benefit balance varied considerably between surgeons and these perceptions predicted the decision to operate. In a second paper, surgeons were rando...

Left bundle branch block after sutureless, transcatheter, and stented biological aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis.
Regeer MV, Merkestein LR, de Weger A, Kamperidis V, van der Kley F, van Rosendael PJ, Marsan NA, Klautz RJ, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Aims: Conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR), sutureless AVR (su-AVR) and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for severe aortic stenosis (AS) are associated with conduction abnormalities. The aim of the present study was to assess the incidence of left bundle branch block (LBBB) after su-AVR and TAVI, in comparison to conventional AVR. Methods and results: A total of 501 patients (mean age 74±8 years, 53% male) without preoperative cardiac conduction disturbances who underwent AV...

Application and comparison of the FADES, MADIT, and SHFM-D risk models for risk stratification of prophylactic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator treatment.
van der Heijden AC, van Rees JB, Levy WC, van der Bom JG, Cannegieter SC, de Bie MK, van Erven L, Schalij MJ, Borleffs CJ
Aims: Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) treatment is beneficial in selected patients. However, it remains difficult to accurately predict which patients benefit most from ICD implantation. For this purpose, different risk models have been developed. The aim was to validate and compare the FADES, MADIT, and SHFM-D models. Methods and results: All patients receiving a prophylactic ICD at the Leiden University Medical Center were evaluated. Individual model performance was evaluated by C...

Background: Increased heart rate and a prolonged QT interval are important risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and can be influenced by the use of various medications, including tricyclic/tetracyclic antidepressants (TCAs). We aim to identify genetic loci that modify the association between TCA use and RR and QT intervals. Methods and results: We conducted race/ethnic-specific genome-wide interaction analyses (with HapMap phase II imputed reference panel imputation) of TCAs...

Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia in Congenital and Infiltrative Heart Disease.
Wijnmaalen AP, Zeppenfeld K
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is an important treatment modality to prevent ventricular tachycardia (VT) recurrence in patients with repaired congenital heart disease. Identification and ablation of anatomic isthmuses has improved acute ablation outcome with excellent VT-free survival in those with preserved biventricular function. Reports on RFCA for VT in patients with infiltrative disease are sparse and cardiac sarcoidosis seems to be the most prevalent cause for ventricular arrhyth...

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified loci for erythrocyte traits in primarily European ancestry populations. We conducted GWAS meta-analyses of six erythrocyte traits in 71,638 individuals from European, East Asian, and African ancestries using a Bayesian approach to account for heterogeneity in allelic effects and variation in the structure of linkage disequilibrium between ethnicities. We identified seven loci for erythrocyte traits including a locus (RBPMS/GTF2E2) associate...

Complement receptor 1 gene polymorphisms are associated with cardiovascular risk.
de Vries MA, Trompet S, Mooijaart SP, Smit RA, Böhringer S, Castro Cabezas M, Jukema JW
Background and aims: Inflammation plays a key role in atherosclerosis. The complement system is involved in atherogenesis, and the complement receptor 1 (CR1) plays a role facilitating the clearance of immune complexes from the circulation. Limited evidence suggests that CR1 may be involved in cardiovascular disease. We investigated the relationship between CR1 gene polymorphisms and cardiovascular risk. Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the CR1 region (n = 73) on chromosome...

The Effects of Spacing, Naps, and Fatigue on the Acquisition and Retention of Laparoscopic Skills.
Spruit EN, Band GPH, van der Heijden KB, Hamming JF
Background: Earlier research has shown that laparoscopic skills are trained more efficiently on a spaced schedule compared to a massed schedule. The aim of the study was to estimate to what extent the spacing interval, naps, and fatigue influenced the effectiveness of spacing laparoscopy training. Methods: Overall 4 groups of trainees (aged 17-41y; 72% female; Nmassed = 40; Nbreak = 35; Nbreak-nap = 37; Nspaced = 37) without prior experience were trained in 3 laparoscopic tasks using a physical...

Background: Coronary CT angiography (CTA) is a reliable tool for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) that conveys significant prognostic information. It does not provide data on the hemodynamic significance of a given lesion, particularly in intermediate-grade stenosis. Fractional flow reserve by CT (FFRCT) can accurately predict the hemodynamic significance of coronary lesions. The primary objective of this registry is to determine whether the integration of FFRCT as an adjunct to co...

Sulfonylureas, a commonly used class of medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Their effects on QT interval duration and related electrocardiographic phenotypes are potential mechanisms for this adverse effect. In 11 ethnically diverse cohorts that included 71 857 European, African-American and Hispanic/Latino ancestry individuals with repeated measures of medication use and electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements, we conduct...

Optimal surgical mitral valve repair in Barlow's disease: the concept of functional prolapse.
Klautz RJ, Tomšič A, Palmen M, van Brakel TJ, Perier P
Barlow's disease presents the most severe form of degenerative mitral valve disease as it normally affects various valvular structures and segments. We discuss the technical aspects of mitral valve repair in this setting. Furthermore, the concept of "functional prolapse" of the mitral valve is discussed as well as recommendations on when to proceed with surgical correction of anterior leaflet prolapse.
