Relation between quantitative coronary CTA and myocardial ischemia by adenosine stress myocardial CT perfusion.
van Rosendael AR, Kroft LJ, Broersen A, Dijkstra J, van den Hoogen IJ, van Zwet EW, Bax JJ, de Graaf MA, Scholte AJ
Background: Coronary-computed tomography angiography (CTA) has limited accuracy to predict myocardial ischemia. Besides luminal area stenosis, other coronary plaque morphology and composition parameters may help to assess ischemia. With the integration of coronary CTA and adenosine stress CT myocardial perfusion (CTP), reliable information regarding coronary anatomy and function can be derived in one procedure. This analysis aimed to investigate the association between coronary stenosis severity...

A Novel Murine Model of Arteriovenous Fistula Failure: The Surgical Procedure in Detail.
Wong CY, de Vries MR, Wang Y, van der Vorst JR, Vahrmeijer AL, van Zonneveld AJ, Hamming JF, Roy-Chaudhury P, Rabelink TJ, Quax PH, Rotmans JI
The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) still suffers from a high number of failures caused by insufficient remodeling and intimal hyperplasia from which the exact pathophysiology remains unknown. In order to unravel the pathophysiology a murine model of AVF-failure was developed in which the configuration of the anastomosis resembles the preferred situation in the clinical setting. A model was described in which an AVF is created by connecting the venous end of the branch of the external jugular vein t...

How institutions shaped the last major evolutionary transition to large-scale human societies.
Powers ST, van Schaik CP, Lehmann L
What drove the transition from small-scale human societies centred on kinship and personal exchange, to large-scale societies comprising cooperation and division of labour among untold numbers of unrelated individuals? We propose that the unique human capacity to negotiate institutional rules that coordinate social actions was a key driver of this transition. By creating institutions, humans have been able to move from the default 'Hobbesian' rules of the 'game of life', dete...

Why mutual helping in most natural systems is neither conflict-free nor based on maximal conflict.
Bshary R, Zuberbühler K, van Schaik CP
Mutual helping for direct benefits can be explained by various game theoretical models, which differ mainly in terms of the underlying conflict of interest between two partners. Conflict is minimal if helping is self-serving and the partner benefits as a by-product. In contrast, conflict is maximal if partners are in a prisoner's dilemma with both having the pay-off-dominant option of not returning the other's investment. Here, we provide evolutionary and ecological arguments for why t...

Outcome of stand-alone thoracoscopic epicardial left atrial posterior box isolation with bipolar radiofrequency energy for longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation.
Compier MG, Braun J, Tjon A, Zeppenfeld K, Klautz RJ, Schalij MJ, Trines SA
Introduction: Catheter ablation of longstanding (> 1 year) persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with poor outcome. This might be due to remodelling and fibrosis formation, mainly located in the posterior left atrial (LA) wall. Therefore, we adopted a thoracoscopic epicardial box isolation of the posterior left atrium using bipolar RF energy with intraoperative testing of conduction block. Methods and results: Bilateral thoracoscopic box isolation was performed with a bipolar RF c...

Does source matter? Nurses' and Physicians' perceptions of interprofessional feedback.
van Schaik SM, O'Sullivan PS, Eva KW, Irby DM, Regehr G
Objective: Receptiveness to interprofessional feedback, which is important for optimal collaboration, may be influenced by 'in-group or out-group' categorisation, as suggested by social identity theory. We used an experimental design to explore how nurses and resident physicians perceive feedback from people within and outside their own professional group. Methods: Paediatric residents and nurses participated in a simulation-based team exercise. Two nurses and two physicians wrote anon...

Leptin is an adipocyte-secreted hormone, the circulating levels of which correlate closely with overall adiposity. Although rare mutations in the leptin (LEP) gene are well known to cause leptin deficiency and severe obesity, no common loci regulating circulating leptin levels have been uncovered. Therefore, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of circulating leptin levels from 32,161 individuals and followed up loci reaching P

Treatment variation in stent choice in patients with stable or unstable coronary artery disease.
Burgers LT, McClellan EA, Hoefer IE, Pasterkamp G, Jukema JW, Horsman S, Pijls NH, Waltenberger J, Hillaert MA, Stubbs AC, Severens JL, Redekop WK
Aim: Variations in treatment are the result of differences in demographic and clinical factors (e.g. anatomy), but physician and hospital factors may also contribute to treatment variation. The choice of treatment is considered important since it could lead to differences in long-term outcomes. This study explores the associations with stent choice: i.e. drug-eluting stent (DES) versus bare-metal stents (BMS) for Dutch patients diagnosed with stable or unstable coronary artery disease (CAD). Met...

Patients with a preference for medication do equally well in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for recurrent depression as those preferring mindfulness.
Huijbers MJ, Spinhoven P, van Schaik DJ, Nolen WA, Speckens AE
Background: Previous studies have suggested that patients' treatment preferences may influence treatment outcome. The current study investigated whether preference for either mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) or maintenance antidepressant medication (mADM) to prevent relapse in recurrent depression was associated with patients' characteristics, treatment adherence, or treatment outcome of MBCT. Methods: The data originated from two parallel randomised controlled trials, the fi...
