Increasing dosing intervals for biologics in atopic dermatitis-why, who, when and how?
Jacobson ME, Boesjes CM, de Bruin-Weller MS, de Graaf M, Morimoto RY, Simpson EL
Biologics approved and in development for atopic dermatitis offer life-changing clinical efficacy with a relatively banal long-term safety profile requiring no laboratory monitoring. Biologic therapies also have their drawbacks, including high payor cost and the need to be administered as every other week subcutaneous injections. Addressing these concerns, studies of longer dosing intervals have been performed in the formal clinical trial setting and during real-world clinical care. Here, we rev...

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy: The Importance of Biventricular Strain in Risk-Stratification.
Chua AP, Laenens D, Sarrazyn C, Lopez-Santi MP, Nabeta T, Myagmardorj R, Bootsma M, Barge-Schaapveld DQCM, Bax JJ, Marsan NA
Despite arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) being predominantly a right ventricular (RV) disease, concomitant left ventricular (LV) involvement has been recognized. ARVC is diagnosed by the RV-centric 2010 Task Force Criteria(TFC) using routine echocardiography, but previous studies have suggested that strain imaging may be more sensitive to detect RV and LV dysfunction. No data however are available regarding the additional value of combining biventricular strain for risk str...

Magavern EF, Deshmukh H, Asselin G, Theusch E, Trompet S, Li X, Noordam R, Chen YI, Seeman TE, Taylor KD, Post WS, Tardif JC, Paul DS, Benjamin EJ, Heard-Costa NL, Vasan RS, Rotter JI, Krauss RM, Jukema JW, Ridker PM, Munroe PB, Caulfield MJ, Chasman DI, Dubé MP, Hitman GA, Warren HR, Genomic Investigation of Statin Therapy Consortium (GIST)
Statins are first-line treatments in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Clinical studies show statins act independently of lipid-lowering mechanisms to decrease C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammation marker. We aim to elucidate genetic loci associated with CRP statin response. CRP statin response is the change in log-CRP between off-treatment and on-treatment measurements. Cohort-level Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) of CRP response were performed using 100...

Decreased risk-proneness with increasing age in equally raised and kept wolves and dogs.
Jean-Joseph H, Kortekaas K, Range F, Kotrschal K
A basic mechanism of domestication is the selection for fearlessness and acceptance of humans as social partners, which may affect risk-taking behavior and the ability to use humans as social support, both at the behavioural and physiological levels. We combined behavioural observations with heart rate parameters (i.e., HR and heart rate variability, HRV) in equally raised and housed wolves and dogs to assess the responses to food offered in the vicinity of a potential stressor (an unknown spinn...

Printed Models for Better Prediction of Surgery in Patients with Double Outlet Right Ventricle.
Hoogerbeets SF, Roest AAW, Valverde I, Gomez-Ciriza G, Kroft L, Hazekamp MG
The complex and variable anatomy of complex double outlet right ventricle makes it imperative to understand the spatial anatomic structures to determine whether it is feasible to repair the anomaly in a biventricular or univentricular fashion. Biventricular repair should be aimed for but is not always feasible. Choosing the correct surgical technique is of great importance in surgical planning of biventricular repair. Conventional imaging is typically insufficient to predict feasibility and tech...
