Exercise haemodynamics after restrictive mitral annuloplasty for functional mitral regurgitation.
Petrus AHJ, Tops LF, Holman ER, Marsan NA, Bax JJ, Schalij MJ, Steendijk P, Klautz RJM, Braun J
Aims: Restrictive mitral annuloplasty (RMA) can provide a durable solution for functional mitral regurgitation (MR), but might result in obstruction to antegrade mitral flow. Aim of this study was to assess the magnitude of change in mitral valve area (MVA) during exercise after RMA, to relate the change in MVA to left ventricular (LV) geometry and function, and to assess its haemodynamic and clinical impact. Methods and results: Bicycle exercise echocardiography was performed in 32 patients aft...

Indications for an early invasive strategy in NSTE-ACS patients.
Zwart B, Ten Berg JM, van 't Hof AW, Tonino PAL, Appelman Y, Liem AH, Arslan F, Waltenberger J, Jukema JW, de Winter RJ, Damman P
An early invasive strategy in patients who have acute coronary syndrome without ST-elevation (NSTE-ACS) can improve clinical outcome in high-risk subgroups. According to the current guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), the majority of NSTE-ACS patients are classified as "high-risk". We propose to prioritise patients with a global registry of acute coronary events (GRACE) risk score >140 over patients with isolated troponin rise or electrocardiographic changes and...

An in vitro comparison of internally versus externally mounted leaflets in surgical aortic bioprostheses.
Vriesendorp MD, de Lind van Wijngaarden RAF, Rao V, Moront MG, Patel HJ, Sarnowski E, Vatanpour S, Klautz RJM
Objectives: To improve haemodynamic performance, design modifications of prosthetic valves have been proposed with each new generation of valves. These different designs also impact the amount of mechanical wear, because mechanical stresses are distributed differently. Because long-term evidence for new prosthetic valves is lacking, this in vitro study compared hydrodynamic performance and durability among 3 currently available bioprosthetic valves with internally (IMLV) or externally mounted le...

Getting the Baby on a Schedule: Dutch and American Mothers' Ethnotheories and the Establishment of Diurnal Rhythms in Early Infancy.
van Schaik SDM, Mavridis C, Harkness S, De Looze M, Blom MJM, Super CM
One of the earliest challenges for infants and their parents is developing a diurnal sleep-wake cycle. Although the human biological rhythm is circadian by nature, its development varies across cultures, based in part on "zeitgebers" (German: literally "time-givers") or environmental cues. This study uses the developmental niche framework by Super and Harkness to address two different approaches to getting the baby on a schedule. 33 Dutch and 41 U.S. mothers were interviewed...

Marmoset prosociality is intentional.
Burkart JM, van Schaik CP
Marmoset monkeys show high levels of proactive prosociality, a trait shared with humans, presumably because both species rely on allomaternal care. However, it is not clear whether the proximate regulation of this convergent trait is also similar, in particular with regard to intentionality, which is a defining characteristic of prosocial behavior in the human literature. The aim of this paper was to investigate whether marmoset monkeys' prosociality fulfils the criteria of intentionality d...

Local rewiring of genome-nuclear lamina interactions by transcription.
Brueckner L, Zhao PA, van Schaik T, Leemans C, Sima J, Peric-Hupkes D, Gilbert DM, van Steensel B
Transcriptionally inactive genes are often positioned at the nuclear lamina (NL), as part of large lamina-associated domains (LADs). Activation of such genes is often accompanied by repositioning toward the nuclear interior. How this process works and how it impacts flanking chromosomal regions are poorly understood. We addressed these questions by systematic activation or inactivation of individual genes, followed by detailed genome-wide analysis of NL interactions, replication timing, and tran...

Egorova AD, Ewert P, Hadamitzky M, Eicken A
Background: Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a congenital anomaly of the coronaries that can lead to significant intracardiac shunting and myocardial ischaemia. Case summary: We describe the case of a 15-year-old male with an incidentally documented precordial cardiac murmur. An evidently dilated coronary sinus (CS) on transthoracic echocardiography prompted further investigation. A computed tomography (CT) revealed the presence of a large CAF from the left circumflex coronary artery to the CS....

Talar beak-induced intermittent ischemia of the foot.
Rotmans JI, van der Wal RJP, Schepers A
A 44-year-old man presented with symptoms of intermittent ischemia of the right foot. Computed tomography scanning of the right foot revealed a talar beak that had a close anatomic relation with the dorsalis pedis artery. Duplex ultrasound performed during a symptomatic episode confirmed ischemia induced by severe vasospasm of the dorsalis pedis artery that normalized 30 minutes later. The talar beak was removed by open surgery that resulted in complete resolution of the patient's symptoms....

The Staphylococcus aureus Cystine Transporters TcyABC and TcyP Facilitate Nutrient Sulfur Acquisition during Infection.
Lensmire JM, Dodson JP, Hsueh BY, Wischer MR, Delekta PC, Shook JC, Ottosen EN, Kies PJ, Ravi J, Hammer ND
Staphylococcus aureus is a significant human pathogen due to its capacity to cause a multitude of diseases. As such, S. aureus efficiently pillages vital nutrients from the host; however, the molecular mechanisms that support sulfur acquisition during infection have not been established. One of the most abundant extracellular sulfur-containing metabolites within the host is cysteine, which acts as the major redox buffer in the blood by transitioning between reduced and oxidized (cystine) forms....

Postoperative surveillance and long-term outcome after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair in the Netherlands: study protocol for the retrospective ODYSSEUS study.
Geraedts ACM, de Mik S, Ubbink D, Koelemay M, Balm R, ODYSSEUS study group
Introduction: Strict imaging surveillance protocols to detect complications following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) are common practice. However, controversy exists as to whether all EVAR patients need intense surveillance. The 2019 European Society for Vascular Surgery guidelines for management of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) suggest that patients may be considered for limited follow-up with imaging if classified as 'low risk' for complications based on their initial postoper...

Coronary anomalies in tetralogy of Fallot - A meta-analysis.
Koppel CJ, Jongbloed MRM, Kiès P, Hazekamp MG, Mertens BJA, Schalij MJ, Vliegen HW
Background: An anomalous coronary artery is reported in 2% to 23% of patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Knowledge of coronary anatomy prior to corrective surgery is vital to avoid damage to vessels crossing the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). A meta-analysis on the prevalence of anomalous coronary arteries in TOF is lacking to date. Here, an overview of coronary anomalies in TOF is provided and implications for patient management are discussed. Methods: PubMed, Embase and Web of Sc...
