Use of monthly collected milk yields for the detection of the emergence of the 2007 French BTV epizootic.
Madouasse A, Marceau A, Lehébel A, Brouwer-Middelesch H, van Schaik G, Van der Stede Y, Fourichon C
Two culicoides-borne diseases, Bluetongue (BTV) and Schmallenberg, have emerged in the European cattle population since 2006. Other diseases transmitted by these vectors could emerge. This justifies the development of syndromic surveillance programs whereby one or several indicators would be routinely monitored for the early detection of emerging diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate milk yield from milk recording in dairy cattle as an indicator to be included in an emerging disease su...

Heart disease in the Netherlands: a quantitative update.
Leening MJ, Siregar S, Vaartjes I, Bots ML, Versteegh MI, van Geuns RJ, Koolen JJ, Deckers JW
In this review we discuss cardiovascular mortality, incidence and prevalence of heart disease, and cardiac interventions and surgery in the Netherlands. We combined most recently available data from various Dutch cardiovascular registries, Dutch Hospital Data (LMR), Statistics Netherlands (CBS), and population-based cohort studies, to provide a broad quantitative update. The absolute number of people dying from cardiovascular diseases is declining and cardiovascular conditions are no longer the...

Toll-like receptor 4 inhibitor TAK-242 treatment does not influence perfusion recovery in tissue ischemia.
van den Borne P, Bastiaansen AJ, de Vries MR, Quax PH, Hoefer IE, Pasterkamp G
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important in innate immune responses, which are crucial in collateral artery formation (arteriogenesis). TLR4⁻/⁻ mice undergoing hind limb ischemia show decreased perfusion recovery accompanied by an impaired infiltration of inflammatory cells. TLR antagonists are currently developed and tested with the objective to inhibit acute exacerbation of organ damaging immune responses. However, systemic inhibition of innate immune responses may negatively influence arterio...

A review of the positive and negative effects of cardiovascular drugs on sexual function: a proposed table for use in clinical practice.
Nicolai MP, Liem SS, Both S, Pelger RC, Putter H, Schalij MJ, Elzevier HW
Several antihypertensive drugs, such as diuretics and β-blockers, can negatively affect sexual function, leading to diminished quality of life and often to noncompliance with the therapy. Other drug classes, however, such as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are able to improve patients' sexual function. Sufficient knowledge about the effects of these widely used antihypertensive drugs will make it possible for cardiologists and general practitioners to spare and even improve patients...

Effect of platelet rich fibrin and beta tricalcium phosphate on bone healing. A histological study in pigs.
Yilmaz D, Dogan N, Ozkan A, Sencimen M, Ora BE, Mutlu I
Purpose: To investigate the effect of platelet rich fibrin (PRF) and beta tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), alone or in combination, on bone regeneration in pig tibial defects. Methods: Four standardized defects were prepared in both tibias of three adult male pigs. The first defect was left unfilled as a control; the others were grafted with either PRF, β-TCP or PRF mixed with β-TCP. All animals were sacrificed on the 12th postoperative week and the tibial bones were removed, histologic sections we...

Intravenous immunoglobulin for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.
Eftimov F, Winer JB, Vermeulen M, de Haan R, van Schaik IN
Background: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) causes progressive or relapsing weakness and numbness of the limbs, developing over at least two months. Uncontrolled studies suggest that intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) helps. This review was first published in 2002 and has since been updated, most recently in 2013. Objectives: To review systematically the evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) concerning the efficacy and safety of IVIg in CIDP. Search me...

Hot flashes are not predictive for serum concentrations of tamoxifen and its metabolites.
Jager NG, Koornstra RH, Vincent AD, van Schaik RH, Huitema AD, Korse TM, Schellens JH, Linn SC, Beijnen JH
Background: Tamoxifen has dramatically reduced the recurrence and mortality rate of estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. However, the efficacy of tamoxifen varies between individuals and 40% of patients will have a recurrence despite adjuvant tamoxifen treatment. Factors that predict tamoxifen efficacy would be helpful for optimizing treatment. Serum concentrations of the active metabolite, endoxifen, may be positively related to treatment outcome. In addition, hot flashes are suggested to...

Genomewide analysis of reassortment and evolution of human influenza A(H3N2) viruses circulating between 1968 and 2011.
Westgeest KB, Russell CA, Lin X, Spronken MI, Bestebroer TM, Bahl J, van Beek R, Skepner E, Halpin RA, de Jong JC, Rimmelzwaan GF, Osterhaus AD, Smith DJ, Wentworth DE, Fouchier RA, de Graaf M
Unlabelled: Influenza A(H3N2) viruses became widespread in humans during the 1968 H3N2 virus pandemic and have been a major cause of influenza epidemics ever since. These viruses evolve continuously by reassortment and genomic evolution. Antigenic drift is the cause for the need to update influenza vaccines frequently. Using two data sets that span the entire period of circulation of human influenza A(H3N2) viruses, it was shown that influenza A(H3N2) virus evolution can be mapped to 13 antigeni...

Effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy on the sequence of mechanical activation assessed by two-dimensional radial strain imaging.
Auger D, Hoke U, Thijssen J, Abate E, Yiu KH, Ewe SH, Witkowski TG, Leong DP, Holman ER, Ajmone Marsan N, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) induces left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling by synchronizing LV mechanical activation. We evaluated changes in segmental LV activation after CRT and related them to CRT response. A total of 292 patients with heart failure (65 ± 10 years, 77% men) treated with CRT underwent baseline echocardiographic assessment of LV volumes and ejection fraction. Time-to-peak radial strain was measured for 6 midventricular LV segments with speckle-tracking strain imag...

Left ventricular twist during dobutamine stress echocardiography after acute myocardial infarction: association with reverse remodeling.
Joyce E, Leong DP, Hoogslag GE, van Herck PL, Debonnaire P, Abate E, Holman ER, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ, Delgado V, Marsan NA
Left ventricular (LV) twist is emerging as a marker of global LV contractility after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study aimed to describe stress-induced changes in LV twist during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) after AMI and investigate their association with LV reverse remodeling at 6 months follow-up. In 82 consecutive first AMI patients (61 ± 12 years, 85 % male) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention, DSE was performed at 3 months follow-up. Two-dimensio...
