Polomski EAS, Heemelaar JC, Krol ADG, Louwerens M, Beeres SLMA, Holman ER, Jukema JW, Schalij MJ, Antoni ML
Background: Treatment with thoracic irradiation for classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) leads to improved survival but also increases the risk of cardiovascular events. Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is usually assessed by echocardiographic left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), whereas global longitudinal strain (GLS) can detect early subclinical LV dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if conventional echocardiographic parameters and GLS are associated with cardiovascular ev...

Accuracy of point-of-care coagulation testing during cardiopulmonary bypass in a patient post COVID-19 infection.
Grewal N, Yousef D, Palmen M, Klautz R, Eikenboom J, Wink J
Introduction: Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) in cardiac surgery is performed under systemic heparinization. Adequacy of heparin therapy and anticoagulation during ECC is assessed by activated clotting time (ACT), although there are concerns regarding the reliability of this measure. The ACT can be affected by factors other than heparin anticoagulation. A novel factor that should be considered is the influence of a COVID-19 infection. More than half of the hospitalized COVID-19 patients develop...

Real-Time Event-Based Unsupervised Feature Consolidation and Tracking for Space Situational Awareness.
Ralph N, Joubert D, Jolley A, Afshar S, Tothill N, van Schaik A, Cohen G
Earth orbit is a limited natural resource that hosts a vast range of vital space-based systems that support the international community's national, commercial and defence interests. This resource is rapidly becoming depleted with over-crowding in high demand orbital slots and a growing presence of space debris. We propose the Fast Iterative Extraction of Salient targets for Tracking Asynchronously (FIESTA) algorithm as a robust, real-time and reactive approach to optical Space Situational A...

The function and evolution of child-directed communication.
Schick J, Fryns C, Wegdell F, Laporte M, Zuberbühler K, van Schaik CP, Townsend SW, Stoll S
Humans communicate with small children in unusual and highly conspicuous ways (child-directed communication (CDC)), which enhance social bonding and facilitate language acquisition. CDC-like inputs are also reported for some vocally learning animals, suggesting similar functions in facilitating communicative competence. However, adult great apes, our closest living relatives, rarely signal to their infants, implicating communication surrounding the infant as the main input for infant great apes...

de Graaf MCG, Spooren CEGM, Hendrix EMB, Hesselink MAM, Feskens EJM, Smolinska A, Keszthelyi D, Pierik MJ, Mujagic Z, Jonkers DMAE
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) share common culprit foods and potential pathophysiological factors. However, how diet may contribute to disease course and whether this differs between both entities is unclear. We therefore investigated the association of dietary indices with intestinal inflammation and gastrointestinal symptoms in both IBD and IBS patients. Food frequency questionnaires from 238 IBD, 261 IBS and 195 healthy controls (HC) were available to cal...

Cerebral hemodynamics during sustained intraoperative hypotension.
Kho E, Sperna Weiland NH, Vlaar APJ, Veelo DP, van der Ster BJP, Corsmit OT, Koolbergen DR, Dilai J, Immink RV
Static cerebral autoregulation (CA) maintains cerebral blood flow (CBF) relatively constant above a mean arterial blood pressure (BPmean) of 60-65 mmHg. Below this lower limit of CA (LLCA), CBF declines along with BPmean. Data are lacking in describing how CA reacts to sustained hypotension since hypotension is usually avoided. In this study, we took advantage of a procedure requiring sustained hypotension. We assessed static CA for LLCA determination, and a more continuous CA, which counters sh...

In clinical practice, 25-30% of the patients treated with fluoropyrimidines experience severe fluoropyrimidine-related toxicity. Extensively clinically validated DPYD genotyping tests are available to identify patients at risk of severe toxicity due to decreased activity of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), the rate limiting enzyme in fluoropyrimidine metabolism. In April 2020, the European Medicines Agency recommended that, as an alternative for DPYD genotype-based testing for DPD deficien...

Countries have implemented control programmes (CPs) for cattle diseases such as bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) that are tailored to each country-specific situation. Practical methods are needed to assess the output of these CPs in terms of the confidence of freedom from infection that is achieved. As part of the STOC free project, a Bayesian Hidden Markov model was developed, called STOC free model, to estimate the probability of infection at herd-level. In the current study, the STOC free...
