The Effect of Tamoxifen Dose Increment in Patients With Impaired CYP2D6 Activity.
Welzen ME, Dezentjé VO, van Schaik RH, Colbers AP, Guchelaar HJ, van Erp NP, den Hartigh J, Burger DM, van Laarhoven HW
Background: The effect of tamoxifen dose elevation on endoxifen serum concentration was investigated in patients with reduced CYP2D6 activity resulting from genetic variation and/or CYP2D6 inhibitor use. Additionally, baseline differences in endoxifen concentrations between the different CYP2D6 phenotypes were studied. Methods: Patients, treated with tamoxifen 20 mg once daily (QD) for at least 4 weeks, were classified as phenotypic extensive (EM), intermediate (IM), or poor (PM) metabolizer bas...

Background: Population and sex-specific reference limits produced with modern ultrasound equipment are needed for accurate clinical echocardiography diagnostics. We report a comprehensive set of reference limits of cardiac function and dimensions in a group of young and middle-aged Finnish men and women produced by the recommendations of European Society of Echocardiography and American Society of Cardiology. Methods and results: Cardiac structure and function was studied in a standardized compr...

Continuous Postoperative Pericardial Flushing: A Pilot Study on Safety, Feasibility, and Effect on Blood Loss.
Manshanden JS, Gielen CL, de Borgie CA, Klautz RJ, de Mol BA, Koolbergen DR
Background: Prolonged or excessive blood loss is a common complication after cardiac surgery. Blood remnants and clots, remaining in the pericardial space in spite of chest tube drainage, induce high fibrinolytic activity that may contribute to bleeding complications. Continuous postoperative pericardial flushing (CPPF) with an irrigation solution may reduce blood loss by preventing the accumulation of clots. In this pilot study, the safety and feasibility of CPPF were evaluated and the effect o...

Population-specific genotype imputations using minimac or IMPUTE2.
van Leeuwen EM, Kanterakis A, Deelen P, Kattenberg MV, Genome of the Netherlands Consortium, Slagboom PE, de Bakker PI, Wijmenga C, Swertz MA, Boomsma DI, van Duijn CM, Karssen LC, Hottenga JJ
In order to meaningfully analyze common and rare genetic variants, results from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of multiple cohorts need to be combined in a meta-analysis in order to obtain enough power. This requires all cohorts to have the same single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in their GWASs. To this end, genotypes that have not been measured in a given cohort can be imputed on the basis of a set of reference haplotypes. This protocol provides guidelines for performing imputation...

Strongly bonded family members in common marmosets show synchronized fluctuations in oxytocin.
Finkenwirth C, van Schaik C, Ziegler TE, Burkart JM
Oxytocin is a key regulator of social bonding and is positively linked to affiliation and prosocial behavior in several mammal species. In chimpanzees, this link is dyad-specific as affiliative interactions only elicit high oxytocin release if they involve strongly bonded individuals. These studies involved isolated dyads and sampling events. Little is known about the role of oxytocin in affiliation and social bonding, and about potential long-term patterns of bonding-related and dyad-specific o...

Reported Outcome After Valve-Sparing Aortic Root Replacement for Aortic Root Aneurysm: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Arabkhani B, Mookhoek A, Di Centa I, Lansac E, Bekkers JA, De Lind Van Wijngaarden R, Bogers AJ, Takkenberg JJ
Valve-sparing aortic root techniques have progressively gained ground in the treatment of aortic root aneurysm and aortic insufficiency. By avoiding anticoagulation therapy they offer a good alternative to composite graft replacement. This systematic review describes the reported outcome of valve-sparing aortic root replacement, focusing on the remodeling and reimplantation technique. A systematic literature search on the characteristics of and outcomes after valve-sparing aortic root replacemen...

Modeling spread of KPC-producing bacteria in long-term acute care hospitals in the Chicago region, USA.
Haverkate MR, Bootsma MC, Weiner S, Blom D, Lin MY, Lolans K, Moore NM, Lyles RD, Weinstein RA, Bonten MJ, Hayden MK
Objective: Prevalence of bla KPC-encoding Enterobacteriaceae (KPC) in Chicago long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs) rose rapidly after the first recognition in 2007. We studied the epidemiology and transmission capacity of KPC in LTACHs and the effect of patient cohorting. Methods: Data were available from 4 Chicago LTACHs from June 2012 to June 2013 during a period of bundled interventions. These consisted of screening for KPC rectal carriage, daily chlorhexidine bathing, medical staff educat...

A Rare Cause of Acute Abdomen: Perforation of Double Meckel's Diverticulum.
Tas İ, Culcu S, Duzkoylu Y, Eryilmaz S, Deniz MM, Yilmaz D
Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. In this report, we aimed to represent a case of intestinal perforation, caused by double Meckel's diverticulum, which is a very rare entity in surgical practice. The patient was a 20-year-old Caucasian man, admitted to hospital with complaints of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomitting during the last 3 days. Physical examination indicated tenderness, rebound, and guarding in the right lower quadra...

Laparoscopic peritoneal lavage or sigmoidectomy for perforated diverticulitis with purulent peritonitis: a multicentre, parallel-group, randomised, open-label trial.

Background: Case series suggest that laparoscopic peritoneal lavage might be a promising alternative to sigmoidectomy in patients with perforated diverticulitis. We aimed to assess the superiority of laparoscopic lavage compared with sigmoidectomy in patients with purulent perforated diverticulitis, with respect to overall long-term morbidity and mortality. Methods: We did a multicentre, parallel-group, randomised, open-label trial in 34 teaching hospitals and eight academic hospitals in Belgium...

Differential response of LV sublayer twist during dobutamine stress echocardiography as a novel marker of contractile reserve after acute myocardial infarction: relationship with follow-up LVEF improvement.
Joyce E, Debonnaire P, Leong DP, Abate E, Katsanos S, Bax JJ, Delgado V, Ajmone Marsan N
Aims: Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) is frequently performed to assess left ventricular (LV) contractile reserve in patients following myocardial infarction (STEMI). Given that resting LV sublayer twist assessment has been proposed as a marker of infarct transmurality, this study aimed to investigate whether response of LV subepicardial twist on DSE represents a novel quantitative marker of contractile reserve. Methods and results: First STEMI patients treated with primary percutaneous...

Surgical treatment after a failed trapeziectomy: A case report.
Goorens CK, Van Schaik DE, Goubau JF
Several treatment options exist to surgically treat end-stage trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis. Trapeziectomy is recognized as leading to a mostly acceptable functional outcome. Although rarely encountered, persisting failure of the trapeziectomy is difficult to address. We present a case where several procedures were subsequently performed to treat a failed trapeziectomy condition. First, a trapeziometacarpal prosthesis (Arpe(®), Biomet(®)) was inserted with the two components reversed: the cu...

Altered left ventricular vortex ring formation by 4-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging after repair of atrioventricular septal defects.
Calkoen EE, Elbaz MS, Westenberg JJ, Kroft LJ, Hazekamp MG, Roest AA, van der Geest RJ
Objectives: During normal left ventricular (LV) filling, a vortex ring structure is formed distal to the left atrioventricular valve (LAVV). Vortex structures contribute to efficient flow organization. We aimed to investigate whether LAVV abnormality in patients with a corrected atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) has an impact on vortex ring formation. Methods: Whole-heart 4D flow MRI was performed in 32 patients (age: 26 ± 12 years), and 30 healthy subjects (age: 25 ± 14 years). Vortex ring...

Valvular interstitial cells suppress calcification of valvular endothelial cells.
Hjortnaes J, Shapero K, Goettsch C, Hutcheson JD, Keegan J, Kluin J, Mayer JE, Bischoff J, Aikawa E
Background: Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is the most common heart valve disease in the Western world. We previously proposed that valvular endothelial cells (VECs) replenish injured adult valve leaflets via endothelial-to-mesenchymal transformation (EndMT); however, whether EndMT contributes to valvular calcification is unknown. We hypothesized that aortic VECs undergo osteogenic differentiation via an EndMT process that can be inhibited by valvular interstitial cells (VICs). Approach an...
