Perioperative Differences Between Outpatient and Inpatient Pathways Following Hip and Knee Arthroplasty.
Keulen MHF, Bemelmans YFL, Boonen B, Hendrickx RPM, Heyligers IC, Schotanus MGM
Background: Optimization of clinical pathways and logistics led to the introduction of outpatient joint arthroplasty of the hip and knee. Nevertheless, little is known about what these current protocols look like and how they differ from "standard" inpatient protocols. This study aimed to find preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative differences between outpatient and inpatient pathways. Methods: A questionnaire (ranging between 23 and 37 items) was developed and administered by...

Almeida AG, Grapsa J, Gimelli A, Bucciarelli-Ducci C, Gerber B, Ajmone-Marsan N, Bernard A, Donal E, Dweck MR, Haugaa KH, Hristova K, Maceira A, Mandoli GE, Mulvagh S, Morrone D, Plonska-Gosciniak E, Sade LE, Shivalkar B, Schulz-Menger J, Shaw L, Sitges M, von Kemp B, Pinto FJ, Edvardsen T, Petersen SE, Cosyns B, EACVI Scientific Documents Committee
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent an important cause of mortality and morbidity in women. It is now recognized that there are sex differences regarding the prevalence and the clinical significance of the traditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors as well as the pathology underlying a range of CVDs. Unfortunately, women have been under-represented in most CVD imaging studies and trials regarding diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutics. There is therefore a clear need for further investigat...

Intraoperative transit time flow measurement predicts maturation of radiocephalic arteriovenous fistulas.
de Winter EP, Wilschut D, Plasmans K, Eefting D, van der Steenhoven T, Putter H, Rotmans J, van der Bogt K
Objective: The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the first choice for gaining vascular access for hemodialysis. However, 20% to 50% of AVFs fail within 4 months after creation. Although demographic risk factors have been described, there is little evidence on the intraoperative predictors of AVF maturation failure. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of intraoperative transit time flow measurements (TTFMs) on AVF maturation failure. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study,...

'Trapped re-entry' as source of acute focal atrial arrhythmias.
De Coster T, Teplenin AS, Feola I, Bart CI, Ramkisoensing AA, den Ouden BL, Ypey DL, Trines SA, Panfilov AV, Zeppenfeld K, de Vries AAF, Pijnappels DA
Aims: Diseased atria are characterized by functional and structural heterogeneities, adding to abnormal impulse generation and propagation. These heterogeneities are thought to lie at the origin of fractionated electrograms recorded during sinus rhythm (SR) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients and are assumed to be involved in the onset and perpetuation (e.g. by re-entry) of this disorder. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain incompletely understood. Here, we tested whether regions of dens...

Electrical storm (ES) is a state of electrical instability, manifesting as recurrent ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) over a short period of time (three or more episodes of sustained VA within 24 h, separated by at least 5 min, requiring termination by an intervention). The clinical presentation can vary, but ES is usually a cardiac emergency. Electrical storm mainly affects patients with structural or primary electrical heart disease, often with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Man...

Atrial secondary tricuspid regurgitation (A-STR) is a distinct phenotype of secondary tricuspid regurgitation with predominant dilation of the right atrium and normal right and left ventricular function. Atrial secondary tricuspid regurgitation occurs most commonly in elderly women with atrial fibrillation and in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in sinus rhythm. In A-STR, the main mechanism of leaflet malcoaptation is related to the presence of a significant dilation of the tricusp...

How microsimulation translates outcome estimates to patient lifetime event occurrence in the setting of heart valve disease.
Notenboom ML, Rhellab R, Etnel JRG, Huygens SA, Hjortnaes J, Kluin J, Takkenberg JJM, Veen KM
Treatment decisions in healthcare often carry lifelong consequences that can be challenging to foresee. As such, tools that visualize and estimate outcome after different lifetime treatment strategies are lacking and urgently needed to support clinical decision-making in the setting of rapidly evolving healthcare systems, with increasingly numerous potential treatments. In this regard, microsimulation models may prove to be valuable additions to current risk-prediction models. Notable advantages...

Targeting of vulnerabilities of drug-tolerant persisters identified through functional genetics delays tumor relapse.
Chen M, Mainardi S, Lieftink C, Velds A, de Rink I, Yang C, Kuiken HJ, Morris B, Edwards F, Jochems F, van Tellingen O, Boeije M, Proost N, Jansen RA, Qin S, Jin H, Koen van der Mijn JC, Schepers A, Venkatesan S, Qin W, Beijersbergen RL, Wang L, Bernards R
Drug-tolerant persisters (DTPs) are a rare subpopulation of cells within a tumor that can survive therapy through nongenetic adaptive mechanisms to develop relapse and repopulate the tumor following drug withdrawal. Using a cancer cell line with an engineered suicide switch to kill proliferating cells, we perform both genetic screens and compound screens to identify the inhibition of bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) proteins as a selective vulnerability of DTPs. BET inhibitors are espe...

Reduced kinase function in two ultra-rare TNNI3K variants in families with congenital junctional ectopic tachycardia.
Pham C, Koopmann TT, Vinocur JM, Blom NA, Nogueira Silbiger V, Mittal K, Bootsma M, Palm KCA, Clur SB, Barge-Schaapveld DQCM, Hamilton RM, Lodder EM
Genetic missense variants in TNNI3K, encoding troponin-I interacting kinase, have been associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and observed in families with supraventricular tachycardias (SVT). Previously, a family harboring the TNNI3K-c.1615A > G (p.Thr539Ala) variant presented with congenital junctional ectopic tachycardia (CJET), an arrhythmia that arises from the atrioventricular (AV) node and His bundle. However, this was a relatively small four-generational family with limited gene...

Intracellular proteomics and extracellular vesiculomics as a metric of disease recapitulation in 3D-bioprinted aortic valve arrays.
Clift CL, Blaser MC, Gerrits W, Turner ME, Sonawane A, Pham T, Andresen JL, Fenton OS, Grolman JM, Campedelli A, Buffolo F, Schoen FJ, Hjortnaes J, Muehlschlegel JD, Mooney DJ, Aikawa M, Singh SA, Langer R, Aikawa E
In calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), mechanosensitive valvular cells respond to fibrosis- and calcification-induced tissue stiffening, further driving pathophysiology. No pharmacotherapeutics are available to treat CAVD because of the paucity of (i) appropriate experimental models that recapitulate this complex environment and (ii) benchmarking novel engineered aortic valve (AV)-model performance. We established a biomaterial-based CAVD model mimicking the biomechanics of the human AV diseas...

Regulation of tissue growth in plants - A mathematical modeling study on shade avoidance response in <i>Arabidopsis</i> hypocotyls.
Favre P, van Schaik E, Schorderet M, Yerly F, Reinhardt D
Introduction: Plant growth is a plastic phenomenon controlled both by endogenous genetic programs and by environmental cues. The embryonic stem, the hypocotyl, is an ideal model system for the quantitative study of growth due to its relatively simple geometry and cellular organization, and to its essentially unidirectional growth pattern. The hypocotyl of Arabidopsis thaliana has been studied particularly well at the molecular-genetic level and at the cellular level, and it is the model of choic...

Cardiac emergencies in women, such as acute coronary syndromes, acute heart failure, and cardiac arrest, are associated with a high risk of adverse outcomes and mortality. Although women historically have been significantly underrepresented in clinical studies of these diseases, the guideline-recommended treatment for these emergencies is generally the same for both sexes. Still, women are less likely to receive evidence-based treatment compared to men. Furthermore, specific diseases affecting p...

The relevance of the superior cervical ganglion for cardiac autonomic innervation in health and disease: a systematic review.
Chen HS, van Roon L, Ge Y, van Gils JM, Schoones JW, DeRuiter MC, Zeppenfeld K, Jongbloed MRM
Purpose: The heart receives cervical and thoracic sympathetic contributions. Although the stellate ganglion is considered the main contributor to cardiac sympathetic innervation, the superior cervical ganglia (SCG) is used in many experimental studies. The clinical relevance of the SCG to cardiac innervation is controversial. We investigated current morphological and functional evidence as well as controversies on the contribution of the SCG to cardiac innervation. Methods: A systematic literatu...
