Intravenous immunoglobulin and intravenous methylprednisolone as optimal induction treatment in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy: protocol of an international, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (OPTIC).
Bus SRM, Zambreanu L, Abbas A, Rajabally YA, Hadden RDM, de Haan RJ, de Borgie CAJM, Lunn MP, van Schaik IN, Eftimov F, OPTIC study group
Background: International guidelines recommend either intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) or corticosteroids as first-line treatment for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). IVIg treatment usually leads to rapid improvement and is generally safe, but does not seem to lead to long-term remissions. Corticosteroids act more slowly and are associated with more side effects, but may induce long-term remissions. The hypothesis of this study is that combined IVIg and corticos...

Characterization and Monitoring of Antigen-Responsive T Cell Clones Using T Cell Receptor Gene Expression Analysis.
Pollastro S, de Bourayne M, Balzaretti G, Jongejan A, van Schaik BDC, Niewold ITG, van Kampen AHC, Maillère B, de Vries N
High-throughput T-cell receptor repertoire sequencing constitutes a powerful tool to study T cell responses at the clonal level. However, it does not give information on the functional phenotype of the responding clones and lacks a statistical framework for quantitative evaluation. To overcome this, we combined datasets from different experiments, all starting from the same blood samples. We used a novel, sensitive, UMI-based protocol to perform repertoire analysis on experimental replicates. Ap...

BMP Receptor Inhibition Enhances Tissue Repair in Endoglin Heterozygous Mice.
Bakker W, Dingenouts CKE, Lodder K, Wiesmeijer KC, de Jong A, Kurakula K, Mager HJ, Smits AM, de Vries MR, Quax PHA, Goumans MJTH
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia type 1 (HHT1) is a severe vascular disorder caused by mutations in the TGFβ/BMP co-receptor endoglin. Endoglin haploinsufficiency results in vascular malformations and impaired neoangiogenesis. Furthermore, HHT1 patients display an impaired immune response. To date it is not fully understood how endoglin haploinsufficient immune cells contribute to HHT1 pathology. Therefore, we investigated the immune response during tissue repair in Eng+/- mice, a model for...

A randomised experiment of health, cost and social norm message frames to encourage acceptance of swaps in a simulation online supermarket.
Bunten A, Porter L, Sanders JG, Sallis A, Payne Riches S, Van Schaik P, González-Iraizoz M, Chadborn T, Forwood S
Offering lower-energy food swaps to customers of online supermarkets could help to decrease energy (kcal) purchased and consumed. However, acceptance rates of such food swaps tend to be low. This study aimed to see whether framing lower-energy food swaps in terms of cost savings or social norms could improve likelihood of acceptance relative to framing swaps in terms of health benefits. Participants (n = 900) were asked to shop from a 12-item shopping list in a simulation online supermarket. Whe...

Early Detection of Fluid Retention in Patients with Advanced Heart Failure: A Review of a Novel Multisensory Algorithm, HeartLogic<sup>TM</sup>.
Feijen M, Egorova AD, Beeres SLMA, Treskes RW
Heart failure (HF) hospitalisations due to decompensation are associated with shorter life expectancy and lower quality of life. These hospitalisations pose a significant burden on the patients, doctors and healthcare resources. Early detection of an upcoming episode of decompensation may facilitate timely optimisation of the ambulatory medical treatment and thereby prevent heart-failure-related hospitalisations. The HeartLogicTM algorithm combines data from five sensors of cardiac implantable e...

Measuring calibration of likelihood-ratio systems: A comparison of four metrics, including a new metric devPAV.
Vergeer P, van Schaik Y, Sjerps M
Numerical likelihood-ratio (LR) systems aim to calculate evidential strength for forensic evidence evaluation. Calibration of such LR-systems is essential: one does not want to over- or understate the strength of the evidence. Metrics that measure calibration differ in sensitivity to errors in calibration of such systems. In this paper we compare four calibration metrics by a simulation study based on Gaussian Log LR-distributions. Three calibration metrics are taken from the literature (Good, 1...

Clinical <i>CYP2D6</i> Genotyping to Personalize Adjuvant Tamoxifen Treatment in ER-Positive Breast Cancer Patients: Current Status of a Controversy.
Mulder TAM, de With M, Del Re M, Danesi R, Mathijssen RHJ, van Schaik RHN
Tamoxifen is a major option for adjuvant endocrine treatment in estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer patients. The conversion of the prodrug tamoxifen into the most active metabolite endoxifen is mainly catalyzed by the enzyme cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6). Genetic variation in the CYP2D6 gene leads to altered enzyme activity, which influences endoxifen formation and thereby potentially therapy outcome. The association between genetically compromised CYP2D6 activity and low endoxifen pla...
