Non-fatal disease burden for subtypes of depressive disorder: population-based epidemiological study.
Biesheuvel-Leliefeld KE, Kok GD, Bockting CL, de Graaf R, Ten Have M, van der Horst HE, van Schaik A, van Marwijk HW, Smit F
Background: Major depression is the leading cause of non-fatal disease burden. Because major depression is not a homogeneous condition, this study estimated the non-fatal disease burden for mild, moderate and severe depression in both single episode and recurrent depression. All estimates were assessed from an individual and a population perspective and presented as unadjusted, raw estimates and as estimates adjusted for comorbidity. Methods: We used data from the first wave of the second Nether...

Effect of different scenarios for selective dry-cow therapy on udder health, antimicrobial usage, and economics.
Scherpenzeel CGM, den Uijl IEM, van Schaik G, Riekerink RGMO, Hogeveen H, Lam TJGM
The goal of dry-cow therapy (DCT) is to reduce the prevalence of intramammary infections (IMI) by eliminating existing IMI at drying off and preventing new IMI from occurring during the dry period. Due to public health concerns, however, preventive use of antimicrobials has become questionable. In this study, we evaluated the effects of 8 scenarios for selecting animals for DCT, taking into account variation in parity and cow-level somatic cell count (SCC) at drying off. The aim of this study wa...

Time course, predictors, and prognostic implications of significant mitral regurgitation after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Abate E, Hoogslag GE, Al Amri I, Debonnaire P, Wolterbeek R, Bax JJ, Delgado V, Marsan NA
Background: Ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) is a known complication of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with important prognostic implications. We evaluated changes over time in ischemic MR after STEMI and the prevalence and predictors of significant (grade ≥2) MR at 12 months. Furthermore, the prognostic additional value of significant MR at 12-month follow-up over acute MR was assessed. Methods: STEMI patients (n = 1,599; 77% male; 60 ± 12 years) treated with primary percu...

Correlation of the patient's reported outcome Inflammatory-RODS with an objective metric in immune-mediated neuropathies.
Draak TH, Gorson KC, Vanhoutte EK, van Nes SI, van Doorn PA, Cornblath DR, van den Berg LH, Faber CG, Merkies IS, PeriNomS Study Group
Background and purpose: There is increasing interest in using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in clinical studies to capture individual changes over time. However, PROMs have also been criticized because they are entirely subjective. Our objective was to examine the relationship between a subjective PROM and an objective outcome tool in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) and gammopathy-related polyneuropathy (MG...

Genetic Evidence for a Link Between Favorable Adiposity and Lower Risk of Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, and Heart Disease.
Yaghootkar H, Lotta LA, Tyrrell J, Smit RA, Jones SE, Donnelly L, Beaumont R, Campbell A, Tuke MA, Hayward C, Ruth KS, Padmanabhan S, Jukema JW, Palmer CC, Hattersley A, Freathy RM, Langenberg C, Wareham NJ, Wood AR, Murray A, Weedon MN, Sattar N, Pearson E, Scott RA, Frayling TM
Recent genetic studies have identified some alleles that are associated with higher BMI but lower risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. These "favorable adiposity" alleles are collectively associated with lower insulin levels and higher subcutaneous-to-visceral adipose tissue ratio and may protect from disease through higher adipose storage capacity. We aimed to use data from 164,609 individuals from the UK Biobank and five other studies to replicate associations be...

Proposing a novel technique to exclude the left ventricle with an assist device: insights from 4-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging.
Klotz S, Meyer-Saraei R, Frydrychowicz A, Scharfschwerdt M, Putman LM, Halder S, Sievers HH
Objectives: Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation has become an effective treatment for end-stage heart failure patients. However, LVAD support disrupts the natural intracavitary blood flow path through the heart, introducing flow patterns potentially associated with thrombosis especially around the inflow cannula. We present initial insights into in vitro 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based analysis of flow patterns and an enzyme-activated milk test in a porcine left ven...

Tailored circulatory intervention in adults with pulmonary hypertension due to congenital heart disease.
Couperus LE, Henkens IR, Jongbloed MRM, Hazekamp MG, Schalij MJ, Vliegen HW
Background: Adults with pulmonary hypertension associated with congenital heart disease (PH-CHD) often have residual shunts. Invasive interventions aim to optimise pulmonary flow and prevent right ventricular failure. However, eligibility for procedures strongly depends on the adaptation potential of the pulmonary vasculature and right ventricle to resultant circulatory changes. Current guidelines are not sufficiently applicable to individual patients, who exhibit great diversity and complexity...
