We performed a comparison between Neuropathy Impairment Scale-sensory (NISs) vs. the modified Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment sensory scale (mISS), and NIS-motor vs. the Medical Research Council sum score in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), and IgM monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance-related polyneuropathy (MGUSP). The ordinal data were subjected to Rasch analyses, creating Rasch-transformed...

Rasch-built Overall Disability Scale for Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN-RODS(©) ).
Vanhoutte EK, Faber CG, van Nes SI, Cats EA, Van der Pol WL, Gorson KC, van Doorn PA, Cornblath DR, van den Berg LH, Merkies IS, PeriNomS Study Group
Clinical trials in multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) have often used ordinal-based measures that may not accurately capture changes. We aimed to construct a disability interval outcome measure specifically for MMN using the Rasch model and to examine its clinimetric properties. A total of 146 preliminary activity and participation items were assessed twice (reliability studies) in 96 clinically stable MMN patients. These patients also assessed the ordinal-based overall disability sum score (cons...

Rasch-ionale for neurologists.
Vanhoutte EK, Hermans MC, Faber CG, Gorson KC, Merkies IS, Thonnard JL, PeriNomS Study Group
Outcome measures are considered the most important tools to monitor patients' outcome in both clinical and research settings. Measuring the clinical state of patients is a fundamental part of our daily clinical practice and research that sometimes is taken for granted. In peripheral neuropathies, there are many scales available, but most of these are at the ordinal level. This paper will systematically address the types of scales available (being nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio data-ba...

Background: The natural history, management, and outcome of takotsubo (stress) cardiomyopathy are incompletely understood. Methods: The International Takotsubo Registry, a consortium of 26 centers in Europe and the United States, was established to investigate clinical features, prognostic predictors, and outcome of takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Patients were compared with age- and sex-matched patients who had an acute coronary syndrome. Results: Of 1750 patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy, 89.8%...

The year of transparency: measuring quality of cardiac care.
Eindhoven DC, Wierda E, de Bruijne MC, Amoroso G, de Mol BAJM, Umans VAWM, Schalij MJ, Borleffs CJW
The assessment of quality of care is becoming increasingly important in healthcare, both globally and in the Netherlands. The Dutch Minister of Health declared 2015 to be the year of transparency, thereby aiming to improve quality of care by transparent reporting of outcome data. With the increasing importance of transparency, knowledge on quality measurement will be essential for a cardiologist in daily clinical care. To that end, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of the Dutch health...

Resting heart rate, heart rate variability and functional decline in old age.
Ogliari G, Mahinrad S, Stott DJ, Jukema JW, Mooijaart SP, Macfarlane PW, Clark EN, Kearney PM, Westendorp RGJ, de Craen AJM, Sabayan B
Background: Heart rate and heart rate variability, markers of cardiac autonomic function, have been linked with cardiovascular disease. We investigated whether heart rate and heart rate variability are associated with functional status in older adults, independent of cardiovascular disease. Methods: We obtained data from the Prospective Study of Pravastatin in the Elderly at Risk (PROSPER). A total of 5042 participants were included in the present study, and mean follow-up was 3.2 years. Heart r...

Case report of nail bed injury after blunt trauma; what lies beneath the nail?
Nanninga GL, de Leur K, van den Boom AL, de Vries MR, van Ginhoven TM
Introduction: A stable, mobile and sensate fingertip is of paramount importance to perform daily tasks and sense dangerous situations. Unfortunately, fingertips are easily injured with various extents of soft tissue damage. Delayed and inadequate treatment of nail bed injuries may cause substantial clinical problems. The aim is to increase awareness about nail bed injuries among physicians who often treat these patients. Presentation of case: We present a 26-year-old male with blunt trauma to a...

Effect of statins on aortic root growth rate in patients with bicuspid aortic valve anatomy.
Regeer MV, van Rosendael PJ, Kamperidis V, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ, Marsan NA, Delgado V
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) anatomy is associated with increased growth rate of the aortic root compared to tricuspid aortic valves. Statins decrease the growth rate of abdominal aneurysms; however their effect on the aortic root growth rate has not been elucidated. The present study evaluated the association between use of statins and aortic root growth in patients with BAV. A total of 199 patients (43 ± 15 years, 69% male) with BAV who underwent ≥ 2 echocardiographic measurements of the aortic...

Why do orangutans leave the trees? Terrestrial behavior among wild Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii) at Tuanan, Central Kalimantan.
Ashbury AM, Posa MR, Dunkel LP, Spillmann B, Atmoko SS, van Schaik CP, van Noordwijk MA
Orangutans (genus Pongo) are the largest arboreal mammals, but Bornean orangutans (P. pygmaeus spp.) also spend time on the ground. Here, we investigate ground use among orangutans using 32,000 hr of direct focal animal observations from a well-habituated wild population of Bornean orangutans (P. p. wurmbii) living in a closed-canopy swamp forest at Tuanan, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Ground use did not change with increasing observation time of well-habituated individuals, suggesting it was...

Quantitative Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography Using Speckle-Tracking Analysis versus Conventional Visual Analysis for Detection of Significant Coronary Artery Disease after ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.
Joyce E, Hoogslag GE, Al Amri I, Debonnaire P, Katsanos S, Bax JJ, Delgado V, Marsan NA
Background: Residual ischemia detection after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) using visual analysis is challenging. The aim of the present study was to investigate the feasibility and accuracy of two-dimensional speckle-tracking strain DSE to detect significant coronary artery disease (CAD) after STEMI. Methods: First STEMI patients (n = 105; mean age, 60 ± 11 years; 86% men) treated with primary percutaneous coronary interventio...

Since the publication of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) procedural guidelines for radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in 2005, many small and some larger steps of progress have been made, improving MPI procedures. In this paper, the major changes from the updated 2015 procedural guidelines are highlighted, focusing on the important changes related to new instrumentation with improved image information and the possibility to reduce radiation exposure, which is fur...

Deletions in a ribosomal protein-coding gene are associated with tigecycline resistance in Enterococcus faecium.
Niebel M, Quick J, Prieto AM, Hill RL, Pike R, Huber D, David M, Hornsey M, Wareham D, Oppenheim B, Woodford N, van Schaik W, Loman N
Enterococcus faecium is an emerging nosocomial pathogen associated with antibiotic therapy in the hospital environment. Whole-genome sequences were determined for three pairs of related, consecutively collected E. faecium clinical isolates to determine putative mechanisms of resistance to tigecycline. The first isolates (1S, 2S and 3S) in each of the three pairs were sensitive to tigecycline [minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.125 mg/L]. Following tigecycline therapy, the second isolate...
