Background and aims: Type 1 short QT syndrome (SQT1) is a genetic channelopathy caused by gain-of-function variants in KCNH2. This shortens cardiac repolarization and QT intervals, predisposing patients to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of KCNH2-specific suppression-and-replacement (KCNH2-SupRep) gene therapy in a transgenic rabbit model of SQT1. Methods: KCNH2-SupRep was developed by combining a KCNH2-shRNA with its cor... Abstract

Scientific reports, Volume 15, Issue 1, 27 4 2025, Pages 31537 Perspectives of adults aged 55+ on plant-based diets rich in protein. van Oppenraaij SL, Putker M, van Schaik A, Weijs PJM, Verlaan S
An increased protein intake is required during aging to preserve muscle mass. A predominantly plant-based diet is beneficial for the climate and may lower the risk of certain non-communicable diseases, but could also lead to protein below recommendations. This study seeks to elucidate facilitators and barriers in adults aged 55+ adopting a diet that is both predominantly plant-based and provides sufficient protein to preserve muscle mass. Three focus groups were conducted with 30 Dutch adults, a... Abstract
PharmacoEconomics, 23 4 2025 Cost-Utility Analysis of Treatment Sequences for Moderate-to-Severe Crohn's Disease. Versteegh MM, Huygens SA, Bermejo I, Grimm S, Pierik M, Römkens T, van Schaik F, Wahab P
Objectives: The clinical pathway for patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease (CD) typically includes sequential pharmacologic treatment as well as surgery, but positioning of different therapies within these sequences remains challenging. Cost-utility analysis rarely captures these sequences and does not incorporate registry data on long-term effectiveness. In this study, we aim to overcome these limitations. Methods: We developed an individual state transition model with four heal... Abstract

This study provides the first molecular characterization of a co-infection involving a rarely reported enterovirus A76 (EV-A76) and a norovirus GI.6[P11] in a patient from Thailand. Metagenomic sequencing successfully identified complete viral genomes, revealing unique genetic... Abstract
European journal of cancer (Oxford, England : 1990), Volume 229, 21 3 2025, Pages 115731 Final clinical analysis of pre-operative ipilimumab and nivolumab in locally advanced urothelial cancer and exploration of tumor-draining lymph node composition: The NABUCCO trial. Stockem CF, van Dorp J, van Dijk N, Vis DJ, Harkes R, van den Broek B, Alkemade M, Broeks A, Hendricksen K, Boellaard TN, de Feijter JM, van Montfoort ML, Daletzakis A, van der Heijden AG, Meijer RP, Mehra N, Wessels LFA, van Rhijn BWG, Suelmann BBM, van der Heijden MS
Background: Pre-operative immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) with ipilimumab and nivolumab has shown encouraging pathological complete response (pCR) rates in stage III urothelial cancer (UC). A previous analysis of NABUCCO suggested that ipilimumab 3 mg/kg is more effective than ipilimumab 1 mg/kg. However, long-term progression-free and overall survival (PFS, OS) following pre-operative combination ICB are unknown. Methods: In NABUCCO, 54 patients received pre-operative ipilimumab plus nivolumab... Abstract
