Hypothalamic-Pituitary Outcome after Treatment for Childhood Craniopharyngioma.
van Schaik J, Hoving EW, Müller HL, van Santen HM
Although childhood-onset craniopharyngioma is a low-grade intracranial tumor with excellent prognosis in terms of overall survival, survivors may suffer from devastating consequences caused by hypothalamic damage. Disease- or treatment-related hypothalamic damage leads to disturbed hunger-satiety and thirst feelings, decreased energy expenditure, behavioral problems, disturbances of circadian rhythm, temperature dysregulation, and pituitary dysfunction. These children are at great risk for devel...

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato seroconversion after intravenous immunoglobulin treatment: A cohort study.
Lucke IM, Vrijlandt A, Lim J, van der Kooi AJ, van Schaik IN, Zaaijer HL, Hovius JW, Eftimov F
Objective: Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) consists of pooled donor immunoglobulins (IgG), possibly including anti-Borrelia burgdorferi (Bbsl) antibodies. Apparent IVIg-related Bbsl seroconversion could lead to incorrect diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis. This cohort study was designed to determine how often IVIg treatment leads to apparent Bbsl seroconversion and whether antibodies disappear post-treatment. Methods: Sera from chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and myositis p...

The precordial R' wave: A novel discriminator between cardiac sarcoidosis and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in patients presenting with ventricular tachycardia.
Hoogendoorn JC, Venlet J, Out YNJ, Man S, Kumar S, Sramko M, Dechering DG, Nakajima I, Siontis KC, Watanabe M, Nakamura Y, Tedrow UB, Bogun F, Eckardt L, Peichl P, Stevenson WG, Zeppenfeld K
Background: Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) with right ventricular (RV) involvement can mimic arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Histopathological differences may result in disease-specific RV activation patterns detectable on the 12-lead electrocardiogram. Dominant subepicardial scar in ARVC leads to delayed activation of areas with reduced voltages, translating into terminal activation delay and occasionally (epsilon) waves with a small amplitude. Conversely, patchy transmural RV...

Predictors and prognosis of right ventricular function in pulmonary hypertension due to heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
Schmeißer A, Rauwolf T, Groscheck T, Fischbach K, Kropf S, Luani B, Tanev I, Hansen M, Meißler S, Schäfer K, Steendijk P, Braun-Dullaeus RC
Aims: Failure of right ventricular (RV) function worsens outcome in pulmonary hypertension (PH). The adaptation of RV contractility to afterload, the RV-pulmonary artery (PA) coupling, is defined by the ratio of RV end-systolic to PA elastances (Ees/Ea). Using pressure-volume loop (PV-L) technique we aimed to identify an Ees/Ea cut-off predictive for overall survival and to assess hemodynamic and morphologic conditions for adapted RV function in secondary PH due to heart failure with reduced eje...

Multimodality imaging in valvular heart disease: how to use state-of-the-art technology in daily practice.
Reid A, Blanke P, Bax JJ, Leipsic J
Our understanding of the complexities of valvular heart disease (VHD) has evolved in recent years, primarily because of the increased use of multimodality imaging (MMI). Whilst echocardiography remains the primary imaging technique, the contemporary evaluation of patients with VHD requires comprehensive analysis of the mechanism of valvular dysfunction, accurate quantification of severity, and active exclusion extravalvular consequences. Furthermore, advances in surgical and percutaneous therapi...

Repair of traumatic avulsion of the right bronchus in children using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support.
Ricciardi G, Putman LM, Hazekamp MG
Traumatic avulsion of the right main bronchus in children is usually caused by blunt trauma or traffic accidents. Primary repair by suturing is the preferred treatment. Lesions are life threatening and urgent or emergency surgical repair is indicated. We report our experience with 2 cases of traumatic avulsion of right bronchus in children successfully suture repaired with the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

We investigated genome folding across the eukaryotic tree of life. We find two types of three-dimensional (3D) genome architectures at the chromosome scale. Each type appears and disappears repeatedly during eukaryotic evolution. The type of genome architecture that an organism exhibits correlates with the absence of condensin II subunits. Moreover, condensin II depletion converts the architecture of the human genome to a state resembling that seen in organisms such as fungi or mosquitoes. In th...

Systematic review of embolization of type I endoleaks using liquid embolic agents.
van Schaik TG, Meekel JP, Hoksbergen AWJ, de Vries R, Blankensteijn JD, Yeung KK
Objective: The long-term success of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is limited by complications, most importantly endoleaks. In case of (persistent) type I endoleak (T1EL), secondary intervention is indicated to prevent secondary aneurysm rupture. Different treatment options are suggested for T1ELs, such as endo anchors, (fenestrated) cuffs, embolization, or open conversion. Currently, the treatment of T1EL with liquid embolic agents is available; however, results are not yet addressed. This...

Izquierdo-Lara R, Elsinga G, Heijnen L, Munnink BBO, Schapendonk CME, Nieuwenhuijse D, Kon M, Lu L, Aarestrup FM, Lycett S, Medema G, Koopmans MPG, de Graaf M
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has rapidly become a major global health problem, and public health surveillance is crucial to monitor and prevent virus spread. Wastewater-based epidemiology has been proposed as an addition to disease-based surveillance because virus is shed in the feces of ≈40% of infected persons. We used next-generation sequencing of sewage samples to evaluate the diversity of SARS-CoV-2 at the community level in the Netherlands and Belgium. Phylo...
