KLRG1 and PD-1 expression are increased on T-cells following tuberculosis-treatment and identify cells with different proliferative capacities in BCG-vaccinated adults.
Boer MC, van Meijgaarden KE, Goletti D, Vanini V, Prins C, Ottenhoff TH, Joosten SA
In cancer and chronic infectious diseases, immune checkpoint-blockade of inhibitory receptors can enhance T-cell immunity. In tuberculosis (TB), a chronic infectious disease, prolonged antigen exposure can potentially drive terminal T-cell differentiation towards functional 'exhaustion': in human TB T-cells express PD-1 (programmed cell death protein-1) and CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein-4). However, in murine TB not PD-1 but rather killer cell lectin-like receptor s...

Traumatic rupture of a Meckel's diverticulum due to blunt abdominal trauma in a soccer game: A case report.
Tummers WS, van der Vorst JR, Swank DJ
Introduction: a Meckel's diverticulum is one of the most common congenital anomalies of the digestive tract. The reported lifetime complication rate is 4%, mostly due to hemorrhage, obstruction, perforation or inflammation. A symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum due to rupture after blunt abdominal trauma is very rare. We believe this case report is the first reporting a rupture of a Meckel's diverticulum after a low velocity blunt abdominal trauma and outlining the importance of a t...

Algorithm-supported visual error correction (AVEC) of heart rate measurements in dogs, Canis lupus familiaris.
Schöberl I, Kortekaas K, Schöberl FF, Kotrschal K
Dog heart rate (HR) is characterized by a respiratory sinus arrhythmia, and therefore makes an automatic algorithm for error correction of HR measurements hard to apply. Here, we present a new method of error correction for HR data collected with the Polar system, including (1) visual inspection of the data, (2) a standardized way to decide with the aid of an algorithm whether or not a value is an outlier (i.e., "error"), and (3) the subsequent removal of this error from the data set....

Core Genome Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme for High- Resolution Typing of Enterococcus faecium.
de Been M, Pinholt M, Top J, Bletz S, Mellmann A, van Schaik W, Brouwer E, Rogers M, Kraat Y, Bonten M, Corander J, Westh H, Harmsen D, Willems RJ
Enterococcus faecium, a common inhabitant of the human gut, has emerged in the last 2 decades as an important multidrug-resistant nosocomial pathogen. Since the start of the 21st century, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) has been used to study the molecular epidemiology of E. faecium. However, due to the use of a small number of genes, the resolution of MLST is limited. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) now allows for high-resolution tracing of outbreaks, but current WGS-based approaches lack stand...

Feasibility and Effectiveness of Memory Specificity Training in Depressed Outpatients: A Pilot Study.
Eigenhuis E, Seldenrijk A, van Schaik A, Raes F, van Oppen P
Background: Research has shown that depressed patients suffer from reduced autobiographical memory specificity (rAMS). This cognitive phenomenon is associated with the maintenance and recurrence of depressive symptoms. Objectives: This pilot study aims to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of a relatively new group-based intervention (Memory Specificity Training; MeST) that aims to reduce rAMS in an outpatient setting. Methods: Twenty-six depressed outpatients received MeST during the...

Communal range defence in primates as a public goods dilemma.
Willems EP, Arseneau TJ, Schleuning X, van Schaik CP
Classic socio-ecological theory holds that the occurrence of aggressive range defence is primarily driven by ecological incentives, most notably by the economic defendability of an area or the resources it contains. While this ecological cost-benefit framework has great explanatory power in solitary or pair-living species, comparative work on group-living primates has always found economic defendability to be a necessary, but not sufficient condition to account for the distribution of effective...

Rationale and design of POPular-TAVI: antiPlatelet therapy fOr Patients undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.
Nijenhuis VJ, Bennaghmouch N, Hassell M, Baan J, van Kuijk JP, Agostoni P, van 't Hof A, Kievit PC, Veenstra L, van der Harst P, van den Heuvel AF, den Heijer P, Kelder JC, Deneer VH, van der Kley F, Onorati F, Collet JP, Maisano F, Latib A, Huber K, Stella PR, Ten Berg JM
Background: Despite improving experience and techniques, ischemic and bleeding complications after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) remain prevalent and impair survival. Current guidelines recommend the temporary addition of clopidogrel in the initial period after TAVI to prevent thromboembolic events. However, explorative studies suggest that this is associated with a higher rate of major bleeding without a decrease in thromboembolic complications. Methods: The POPular TAVI trial...

Advantages and disadvantages of unstructured cardiovascular risk factor screening for follow-up in primary care.
de Boer AW, de Mutsert R, den Heijer M, Rosendaal FR, Jukema JW, Blom JW, Numans ME, NEO study group
Background: In contrast to structured, integrated risk assessment in primary care, unstructured risk factor screening outside primary care and corresponding recommendations to consult a general practitioner (GP) are often based on one abnormal value of a single risk factor. This study investigates the advantages and disadvantages of unstructured screening of blood pressure and cholesterol outside primary care. Methods: After the baseline visit of the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity study (po...

Risk stratification and treatment effect of statins in secondary cardiovascular prevention in old age: Additive value of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide.
Poortvliet RK, van Peet PG, de Craen AJ, Mertens BJ, Mooijaart SP, Wijsman LW, Drewes YM, Ford I, Sattar N, Jukema JW, Stott DJ, de Ruijter W, Gussekloo J
Background: To date, no validated risk scores exist for prediction of recurrence risk or potential treatment effect for older people with a history of a cardiovascular event. Therefore, we assessed predictive values for recurrent cardiovascular disease of models with age and sex, traditional cardiovascular risk markers, and 'SMART risk score', all with and without addition of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). Treatment effect of pravastatin was assessed across low...

Assessment of intensive care unit-acquired weakness in young and old mice: An E. coli septic peritonitis model.
Witteveen E, Hoogland IC, Wieske L, Weber NC, Verhamme C, Schultz MJ, van Schaik IN, Horn J
Introduction: There are few reports of in vivo muscle strength measurements in animal models of ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW). In this study we investigated whether the Escherichia coli (E. coli) septic peritonitis mouse model may serve as an ICU-AW model using in vivo strength measurements and myosin/actin assays, and whether development of ICU-AW is age-dependent in this model. Methods: Young and old mice were injected intraperitoneally with E. coli and treated with ceftriaxone. Forelimb grip...

This article provides nomenclature recommendations developed by an international workgroup to increase transparency and standardization of pharmacogenetic (PGx) result reporting. Presently, sequence variants identified by PGx tests are described using different nomenclature systems. In addition, PGx analysis may detect different sets of variants for each gene, which can affect interpretation of results. This practice has caused confusion and may thereby impede the adoption of clinical PGx testin...
