Area-weighted unipolar voltage to predict heart failure outcomes in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy and ventricular tachycardia.
Rademaker R, Kimura Y, de Riva Silva M, Beukers HC, Piers SRD, Wijnmaalen AP, Dekkers OM, Zeppenfeld K
Aims: Patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) referred for catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) are at risk for end-stage heart failure (HF) due to adverse remodelling. Local unipolar voltages (UV) decrease with loss of viable myocardium. A UV parameter reflecting global viable myocardium may predict prognosis. We evaluate if a newly proposed parameter, area-weighted unipolar voltage (awUV), can predict HF-related outcomes [HFO; HF death/left ventricular (LV) assist device/hear...

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of material thickness and coffee thermocycling on the optical properties of definitive resin-based materials created via additive manufacturing (AM) and subtractive manufacturing (SM). Materials and methods: Specimens were prepared in three thicknesses (1, 1.5, and 2 mm) from three AM (3D-CB, 3D-TH, and 3D-CT) and two SM (G-CAM and VE) resin-based materials (n = 15 per material and thickness combination). Color coordinates of each specimen were measured after poli...

The Potential of the HeartLogic<sup>TM</sup> Algorithm in Patients with a Left Ventricular Assist Device, an Initial Report.
Feijen M, Egorova AD, Tops LF, Palmen M, Jukema JW, Schalij MJ, Beeres SLMA
Background: Survival and quality-of-life of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recipients improved significantly because of growing experience and technological advances. However, LVAD-related complication rates, including recurrent episodes of congestion, remain high. Early detection of fluid retention to provide a time-window for medical intervention is the pillar in preventing hospitalizations. The multisensory HeartLogicTM algorithm accurately detected impending congestion in ambulant hea...

Çakmak G, Steigmeier D, Güven ME, Yilmaz D, Schimmel M, Yoon HI, Yilmaz B
Purpose: To evaluate the fabrication trueness, intaglio surface adaptation, and marginal integrity of resin-based onlay restorations made via additive manufacturing (AM) or subtractive manufacturing (SM). Materials and methods: An onlay restoration was designed (DentalCAD Galway 3.0) and saved as an STL file to generate a design STL file (DO-STL). Using this design, 45 onlays were fabricated either with AM (3D-printed resin for definitive [AM-D; Tera Harz TC-80DP] and interim [AM-I; Freeprint te...

Background and aims: Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are critical for preventing sudden cardiac death (SCD) in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). This study aims to identify cross-continental differences in utilization of primary prevention ICDs and survival free from sustained ventricular arrhythmia (VA) in ARVC. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of ARVC patients without prior VA enrolled in clinical registries from 11 countries throughout Europe and...

Schiele F, Catapano AL, De Caterina R, Laufs U, Jukema JW, Zaman A, Sionis A
Aims: We performed quality control of lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), with a view to proposing corrective actions. Methods and results: Using a Define Measure Analysis Improve Control (DMAIC) approach applied to data from the ACS EuroPath IV survey, we measured attainment of two quality indicators (QIs) related to lipid-lowering treatment: (i) prescription of high-intensity statins (or equipotent treatment) before discharge, and (ii) proportion with L...

Imaging findings inconsistent with those expected at specific chronological age ranges may serve as early indicators of neurological disorders and increased mortality risk. Estimation of chronological age, and deviations from expected results, from structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data has become an important proxy task for developing biomarkers that are sensitive to such deviations. Complementary to structural analysis, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has proven effective in identifyi...

Characterizing Low-cost Registration for Photographic Images to Computed Tomography.
Kim ME, Lee HH, Ramadass K, Gao C, Van Schaik K, Tkaczyk E, Spraggins J, Moyer DC, Landman BA
Mapping information from photographic images to volumetric medical imaging scans is essential for linking spaces with physical environments, such as in image-guided surgery. Current methods of accurate photographic image to computed tomography (CT) image mapping can be computationally intensive and/or require specialized hardware. For general purpose 3-D mapping of bulk specimens in histological processing, a cost-effective solution is necessary. Here, we compare the integration of a commercial...

To date only a fraction of the genetic footprint of thyroid function has been clarified. We report a genome-wide association study meta-analysis of thyroid function in up to 271,040 individuals of European ancestry, including reference range thyrotropin (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4), free and total triiodothyronine (T3), proxies for metabolism (T3/FT4 ratio) as well as dichotomized high and low TSH levels. We revealed 259 independent significant associations for TSH (61% novel), 85 for FT4 (67% no...

Covered versus bare-metal stenting of the mesenteric arteries in patients with chronic mesenteric ischaemia (CoBaGI): a multicentre, patient-blinded and investigator-blinded, randomised controlled trial.
Terlouw LG, van Dijk LJD, van Noord D, Bakker OJ, Bijdevaate DC, Erler NS, Fioole B, Harki J, van den Heuvel DAF, Hinnen JW, Kolkman JJ, Nikkessen S, van Petersen AS, Smits HFM, Verhagen HJM, de Vries AC, de Vries JPM, Vroegindeweij D, Geelkerken RH, Bruno MJ, Moelker A, Dutch Mesenteric Ischemia Study Group
Background: Mesenteric artery stenting with a bare-metal stent is the current treatment for atherosclerotic chronic mesenteric ischaemia. Long-term patency of bare-metal stents is unsatisfactory due to in-stent intimal hyperplasia. Use of covered stents might improve long-term patency. We aimed to compare the patency of covered stents and bare-metal stents in patients with chronic mesenteric ischaemia. Methods: We conducted a multicentre, patient-blinded and investigator-blinded, randomised cont...

The fully automated Sysmex XN-31 hematology analyzer can detect bloodstream form Trypanosoma brucei.
Khartabil T, van Schaik RH, Haanstra JR, Koelewijn R, Russcher H, van Hellemond JJ
Background: For fully automated detection and quantification of Plasmodium parasites, Sysmex developed the XN-31 hemocytometer. This study investigated whether the XN-31 can also detect and quantify bloodstream form trypanosomes (trypomastigotes). Methods: Axenic cultures of Trypanosoma brucei brucei were used to prepare two dilution series of trypomastigotes in the whole blood of a healthy donor, which were subsequently examined by the XN-31 as well as by microscopic examination of thin and thi...

Karate kick-induced myocardial contusion.
Doornkamp RN, van Winden DF, Buiten MS, Josephus Jitta D
Myocardial contusion should be suspected in a selected patient group with blunt thoracic trauma, who have elevated troponin, ECG changes and/or haemodynamical instability. Echocardiography is useful for direct visualisation of possible complications. In stable conditions, MRI allows for good visualisation of the heart and can confirm a suspected myocardial contusion as well as demonstrate the extent of myocardial damage. Based on the present literature, the authors developed a diagram for the di...
