Effect of different scenarios for selective dry-cow therapy on udder health, antimicrobial usage, and economics.
Scherpenzeel CGM, den Uijl IEM, van Schaik G, Riekerink RGMO, Hogeveen H, Lam TJGM
The goal of dry-cow therapy (DCT) is to reduce the prevalence of intramammary infections (IMI) by eliminating existing IMI at drying off and preventing new IMI from occurring during the dry period. Due to public health concerns, however, preventive use of antimicrobials has become questionable. In this study, we evaluated the effects of 8 scenarios for selecting animals for DCT, taking into account variation in parity and cow-level somatic cell count (SCC) at drying off. The aim of this study wa...

Time course, predictors, and prognostic implications of significant mitral regurgitation after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Abate E, Hoogslag GE, Al Amri I, Debonnaire P, Wolterbeek R, Bax JJ, Delgado V, Marsan NA
Background: Ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) is a known complication of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with important prognostic implications. We evaluated changes over time in ischemic MR after STEMI and the prevalence and predictors of significant (grade ≥2) MR at 12 months. Furthermore, the prognostic additional value of significant MR at 12-month follow-up over acute MR was assessed. Methods: STEMI patients (n = 1,599; 77% male; 60 ± 12 years) treated with primary percu...

Prognostic Impact of Implementation of QRS Characteristics in the Seattle Heart Failure Model in ICD and CRT-D Recipients.
VAN DER Heijden AC, Levy WC, VAN Erven L, Schalij MJ, Borleffs CJ
Background: The Seattle Heart Failure Model (SHFM) provides accurate estimates of survival in heart failure (HF) patients. The model is, however, not developed for HF patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic value of SHFM combined with QRS morphology and CRT-related change in QRS duration in implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and CRT defibrillator (CRT-D) recipients. Methods: All patients who underwent prophylactic ICD im...

Correlation of the patient's reported outcome Inflammatory-RODS with an objective metric in immune-mediated neuropathies.
Draak TH, Gorson KC, Vanhoutte EK, van Nes SI, van Doorn PA, Cornblath DR, van den Berg LH, Faber CG, Merkies IS, PeriNomS Study Group
Background and purpose: There is increasing interest in using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in clinical studies to capture individual changes over time. However, PROMs have also been criticized because they are entirely subjective. Our objective was to examine the relationship between a subjective PROM and an objective outcome tool in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) and gammopathy-related polyneuropathy (MG...

Skimming Digits: Neuromorphic Classification of Spike-Encoded Images.
Cohen GK, Orchard G, Leng SH, Tapson J, Benosman RB, van Schaik A
The growing demands placed upon the field of computer vision have renewed the focus on alternative visual scene representations and processing paradigms. Silicon retinea provide an alternative means of imaging the visual environment, and produce frame-free spatio-temporal data. This paper presents an investigation into event-based digit classification using N-MNIST, a neuromorphic dataset created with a silicon retina, and the Synaptic Kernel Inverse Method (SKIM), a learning method based on pri...

Genetic Evidence for a Link Between Favorable Adiposity and Lower Risk of Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, and Heart Disease.
Yaghootkar H, Lotta LA, Tyrrell J, Smit RA, Jones SE, Donnelly L, Beaumont R, Campbell A, Tuke MA, Hayward C, Ruth KS, Padmanabhan S, Jukema JW, Palmer CC, Hattersley A, Freathy RM, Langenberg C, Wareham NJ, Wood AR, Murray A, Weedon MN, Sattar N, Pearson E, Scott RA, Frayling TM
Recent genetic studies have identified some alleles that are associated with higher BMI but lower risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. These "favorable adiposity" alleles are collectively associated with lower insulin levels and higher subcutaneous-to-visceral adipose tissue ratio and may protect from disease through higher adipose storage capacity. We aimed to use data from 164,609 individuals from the UK Biobank and five other studies to replicate associations be...

Proposing a novel technique to exclude the left ventricle with an assist device: insights from 4-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging.
Klotz S, Meyer-Saraei R, Frydrychowicz A, Scharfschwerdt M, Putman LM, Halder S, Sievers HH
Objectives: Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation has become an effective treatment for end-stage heart failure patients. However, LVAD support disrupts the natural intracavitary blood flow path through the heart, introducing flow patterns potentially associated with thrombosis especially around the inflow cannula. We present initial insights into in vitro 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based analysis of flow patterns and an enzyme-activated milk test in a porcine left ven...

Tailored circulatory intervention in adults with pulmonary hypertension due to congenital heart disease.
Couperus LE, Henkens IR, Jongbloed MRM, Hazekamp MG, Schalij MJ, Vliegen HW
Background: Adults with pulmonary hypertension associated with congenital heart disease (PH-CHD) often have residual shunts. Invasive interventions aim to optimise pulmonary flow and prevent right ventricular failure. However, eligibility for procedures strongly depends on the adaptation potential of the pulmonary vasculature and right ventricle to resultant circulatory changes. Current guidelines are not sufficiently applicable to individual patients, who exhibit great diversity and complexity...

Effects of hyperthermia in neutralising mechanisms of drug resistance in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
van der Heijden AG, Dewhirst MW
Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer is a challenging disease, even given its superficial nature. It is prone to multiple recurrences and progression to muscle-invasive cancer. These features of this disease contribute significantly to reduced quality of life as well as creating significant morbidity and even mortality. Randomised trials demonstrate that when hyperthermia is added to conventional mitomycin-C treatment that local control rates and progression-free survival are substantially improve...

An Alternative Methodological Approach for Cost-Effectiveness Analysis and Decision Making in Genomic Medicine.
Fragoulakis V, Mitropoulou C, van Schaik RH, Maniadakis N, Patrinos GP
Genomic Medicine aims to improve therapeutic interventions and diagnostics, the quality of life of patients, but also to rationalize healthcare costs. To reach this goal, careful assessment and identification of evidence gaps for public health genomics priorities are required so that a more efficient healthcare environment is created. Here, we propose a public health genomics-driven approach to adjust the classical healthcare decision making process with an alternative methodological approach of...

Delaying surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy does not significantly influence postoperative morbidity or oncological outcome in patients with oesophageal adenocarcinoma.
Kathiravetpillai N, Koëter M, van der Sangen MJ, Creemers GJ, Luyer MD, Rutten HJ, Nieuwenhuijzen GA
Background: Patients with resectable oesophageal cancer are treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) followed by surgery within 3-8 weeks. In practice, surgery is often delayed for various reasons. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether delaying surgery beyond 8 weeks has an effect on postoperative morbidity, long-term survival, and pathologic response in patients treated for oesophageal ADC. Methods: Patients who underwent nCRT followed by surgery, for cT1-3, N0-3, M0 ADC betwee...

Postnatal Cardiac Autonomic Nervous Control in Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease.
Nederend I, Jongbloed MRM, de Geus EJC, Blom NA, Ten Harkel ADJ
Congenital heart disease is the most common congenital defect. During childhood, survival is generally good but, in adulthood, late complications are not uncommon. Abnormal autonomic control in children with congenital heart disease may contribute considerably to the pathophysiology of these long term sequelae. This narrative review of 34 studies aims to summarize current knowledge on function of the autonomic nervous system in children with a congenital heart defect. Large scale studies that me...

Manipulation complexity in primates coevolved with brain size and terrestriality.
Heldstab SA, Kosonen ZK, Koski SE, Burkart JM, van Schaik CP, Isler K
Humans occupy by far the most complex foraging niche of all mammals, built around sophisticated technology, and at the same time exhibit unusually large brains. To examine the evolutionary processes underlying these features, we investigated how manipulation complexity is related to brain size, cognitive test performance, terrestriality, and diet quality in a sample of 36 non-human primate species. We categorized manipulation bouts in food-related contexts into unimanual and bimanual actions, an...

The Bayesian Decoding of Force Stimuli from Slowly Adapting Type I Fibers in Humans.
Kasi P, Wright J, Khamis H, Birznieks I, van Schaik A
It is well known that signals encoded by mechanoreceptors facilitate precise object manipulation in humans. It is therefore of interest to study signals encoded by the mechanoreceptors because this will contribute further towards the understanding of fundamental sensory mechanisms that are responsible for coordinating force components during object manipulation. From a practical point of view, this may suggest strategies for designing sensory-controlled biomedical devices and robotic manipulator...
