An experimental study on chemical shifts and X-ray intensity ratios.
Uğurlu M, Akkuş T, Akbulut O, Demir L, Yılmaz D
In this study, full widths at half maximum (FWHM), asymmetry indexes, chemical shifts (ΔE) and Kβ-to-Kα X-ray intensity ratios of some pure metals (Mn, Fe, Cu and Zn) and some of their oxidized compounds (Mn2O3, Fe2O3, Fe3O4, Cu2O3 and ZnO) were investigated. The samples were excited by 59.54 keV photons emitted from a241Am radioisotopes source and characteristic K X-rays emitted from the samples were counted by a Si(Li) detector. The results have shown that the Kβ-to-Kα X-ray intensity ratios,...

Bayesian diagnostic test evaluation and true prevalence estimation of mycoplasma bovis in dairy herds.
Veldhuis A, Aalberts M, Penterman P, Wever P, van Schaik G
The true prevalence of dairy cattle herds with M. bovis infections in the Netherlands is unknown. Previous attempts to estimate prevalences were hampered by the absence of a diagnostic serological test that was validated under field conditions. This study estimated sensitivity and specificity of two commercial serum ELISAs and the true M. bovis herd prevalence using different Bayesian latent class models. A total of 7305 serum samples from 415 randomly chosen dairy herds were collected in fall/w...

Hfe Actions in Kupffer Cells Are Dispensable for Hepatic and Systemic Iron Metabolism.
Knoop P, Yilmaz D, Paganoni R, Steele-Perkins P, Gruber A, Akdogan B, Zischka H, Leopold K, Vujić Spasić M
Mutations in the HFE/Hfe gene cause Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HH), a highly prevalent genetic disorder characterized by elevated iron deposition in multiple tissues. HFE acts in hepatocytes to control hepcidin expression, whereas HFE actions in myeloid cells are required for cell-autonomous and systemic iron regulation in aged mice. To address the role of HFE specifically in liver-resident macrophages, we generated mice with a selective Hfe deficiency in Kupffer cells (HfeClec4fCre). The analy...

The accuracy of cystoscopy in predicting muscle invasion in newly diagnosed bladder cancer patients.
van Straten CGJI, Bruins MH, Dijkstra S, Cornel EB, Kortleve MDH, de Vocht TF, Kiemeney LALM, van der Heijden AG
Purpose: The prognosis of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) has not improved for three decades. Transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT) is the standard procedure for local tumor staging. TURBT has several limitations, including the spread of tumor cells. Therefore, an alternative is needed in patients with suspected MIBC. Recent studies have shown that mpMRI is very accurate in staging bladder tumors. Because the diagnostic efficacy of urethrocystoscopy (UCS) has been reported a...

Coronary Volume to Left Ventricular Mass Ratio in Patients With Hypertension.
van Rosendael SE, van Rosendael AR, Kuneman JH, Patel MR, Nørgaard BL, Fairbairn TA, Nieman K, Akasaka T, Berman DS, Koweek LMH, Pontone G, Kawasaki T, Sand NPR, Jensen JM, Amano T, Poon M, Øvrehus KA, Sonck J, Rabbat MG, Rogers C, Matsuo H, Leipsic JA, Marsan NA, Jukema JW, Bax JJ, Saraste A, Knuuti J
The coronary vascular volume to left ventricular mass (V/M) ratio assessed by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a promising new parameter to investigate the relation of coronary vasculature to the myocardium supplied. It is hypothesized that hypertension decreases the ratio between coronary volume and myocardial mass by way of myocardial hypertrophy, which could explain the detected abnormal myocardial perfusion reserve reported in patients with hypertension. Individuals enrolle...

Functional and pathomorphological anatomy of the aortic valve and root for aortic valve sparing surgery in tricuspid and bicuspid aortic valves.
Jahanyar J, Tsai PI, Arabkhani B, Aphram G, Mastrobuoni S, El Khoury G, de Kerchove L
The aortic valve (AV) is a three-dimensional structure, with leaflets that are suspended within the functional aortic annulus (FAA). These structures (AV and FAA) are therefore intrinsically connected and disease of just one component can independently lead to AV dysfunction. Hence, AV dysfunction can occur in the setting of entirely normal valve leaflets. However, as these structures are functionally inter-connected, disease of one component can lead to abnormalities of the other over time. Thu...

Changes in Computed-Tomography-Derived Segmental Left Ventricular Longitudinal Strain After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.
Singh GK, Fortuni F, Kuneman JH, Vollema EM, van der Kley F, Marsan NA, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) may show left ventricular (LV) apical longitudinal strain sparing. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) improves LV systolic function in patients with severe AS. However, the changes in regional longitudinal strain after TAVI have not been extensively evaluated. This study aimed to characterize the effect of the pressure overload relief after TAVI on LV apical longitudinal strain sparing. A total of 156 patients (mean age 80 ± 7 years, 53% men)...

Background: Patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) commonly suffer from left atrial (LA) remodeling. LA fibrosis is considered to be a key player in the LA remodeling process, as observed in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Literature on the presence and extent of LA fibrosis in MR patients however, is scarce and its clinical implications remain unknown. Therefore, the ALIVE trial was designed to investigate the presence of LA remodeling including LA fibrosis in MR patients prior to and after...

Elastic Deformation Measurement Using Duplex Ultrasound for the Detection of High Aneurysm Sac Pressure Following EVAR.
van Genderen OS, van Wissen RC, Hamming JF, van Schaik J, van der Vorst JR
Purpose: To describe the concept of aortic elastic deformation (ED) measurement using duplex ultrasonography (DUS) as a tool for detection of high aneurysm sac pressure following endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). Technique: High aneurysm sac pressure, with or without proven endoleak, will result in a less compressible aneurysm. Using the dual image function in B-mode of the DUS device and a standardized amount of applied probe pressure, ED can be measured. It is defined as the percentage of def...
