Petechial and Purpuric Rashes During a Parvovirus B19 Outbreak: Are Skin Symptoms Differentiated?
Kus S, Elvan-Tuz A, Aslan-Saritas U, Yilmaz D
Human parvovirus B19 typically causes erythema infectiosum, but unusual exanthems and hemorrhagic manifestations, such as purpuric-petechial rashes, have also been reported. PVB19-associated purpuric-petechial eruption (PAPPE) should be recognized as a distinct clinical feature of primary parvovirus B19 infection and considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with febrile purpura. This report aims to highlight several scenarios of B19V-associated petechial and purpuric rashes, which ma...

Ultrasound-Guided vs Non-Ultrasound-Guided Angio-Seal Vascular Hemosasis After Endovascular Treatment for Peripheral Artery Disease: An Observational Study.
Groenewegen FA, Charehbili A, Panfilov IA, Engels C, De Jong WJ, Burgmans M, Van der Bogt KEA, Eefting D, Van der Steenhoven TJ, Van der Linden E, Urlings T
Clinical impact: Ultrasound visualization of vascular closure devices during endovascular access closure leads to a significant decrease in overall and major post interventional access site complications. This non-invasive and often readily available imaging technique could therefore lead to an important decrease in morbidity and subsequent overall health care costs when added to the standard intervention protocol. With the increasing use of endovascular techniques to treat peripheral artery dis...

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 inhibition and insulin enhance proliferation and inhibit maturation of human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes via TCF and FOXO signaling.
Yuan Q, Verbueken D, Dinani R, Kim R, Schoger E, Morsink CD, Simkooei SA, Kemna LJM, Hjortnaes J, Kuster DWD, Boon RA, Zelarayan LC, van der Velden J, Buikema JW
Embryonic signaling pathways exert stage-specific effects during cardiac development, yet the precise signals for proliferation or maturation remain elusive. To uncover the cues for proliferation, we performed a combinatory cell-cycle screen for insulin and glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) inhibition in spontaneously beating human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs). Our analysis for proliferation, and subsequential downstream sarcomere development, gene expression...

Ventricular septal defect characteristics influence presence of septal anatomical isthmuses in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot.
Wallet J, Kimura Y, Blom NA, Hazekamp MG, Bartelings MM, Jongbloed MRM, Zeppenfeld K
Aims: In repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF), the septal anatomical isthmuses (AI), AI 3, between the ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary annulus, and AI 4, between the VSD and tricuspid annulus, are important ventricular tachycardia (VT) substrates when slow conducting. Our aim was to assess the influence of VSD characteristics, specifically the presence of muscular or fibrous tissue at its border, on the presence or absence of septal AIs, potentially related to VT. Methods and result...

Cryopreservation of Human Adult Ventricular Tissue for the Preparation of Viable Myocardial Slices.
Lodrini AM, Groeneveld EJ, Palmen M, Hjortnaes J, Smits AM, Goumans MJ
Living myocardial slices (LMS) are ultrathin sections of adult myocardium that can be maintained in culture. These slices provide a unique platform for studying interactions between cardiomyocytes (CMs), other cardiac cell types, and the extracellular matrix while maintaining the cytoarchitecture and electrical phenotype of CMs over extended periods. Despite their advantages over other cardiac models, LMS have limitations, particularly their reliance on slice quality. The primary factor influenc...
