Nature communications, Volume 14, Issue 1, 1 1 2023, Pages 544 Lipid-induced transcriptomic changes in blood link to lipid metabolism and allergic response. Dekkers KF, Slieker RC, Ioan-Facsinay A, van Iterson M, BIOS consortium, Ikram MA, van Greevenbroek MMJ, Veldink JH, Franke L, Boomsma DI, Slagboom PE, Jukema JW, Heijmans BT
Immune cell function can be altered by lipids in circulation, a process potentially relevant to lipid-associated inflammatory diseases including atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. To gain further insight in the molecular changes involved, we here perform a transcriptome-wide association analysis of blood triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol in 3229 individuals, followed by a systematic bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis to assess the direction of effects and con...

Objective: Hypothalamic syndrome (HS) in childhood is a rare condition. Its epidemiology is not well known because incidence and prevalence are related to very rare underlying diseases. In addition, different criteria for the syndrome are used across studies. Recognizing the HS may be difficult, due to its rareness and variety of symptoms. Having diagnostic criteria for signs and symptoms of hypothalamic dysfunction may aid in early recognition and diagnosis, in the reporting and understanding o... Abstract

Venlet J, Piers SR, Hoogendoorn J, Androulakis AFA, de Riva M, van der Geest RJ, Zeppenfeld K, Zeppenfeld K
Aims: In right ventricular cardiomyopathy (RVCM), intramural scar may prevent rapid transmural activation, which may facilitate subepicardial ventricular tachycardia (VT) circuits. A critical transmural activation delay determined during sinus rhythm (SR) may identify VT substrates in RVCM. Methods and results: Consecutive patients with RVCM who underwent detailed endocardial-epicardial mapping and ablation for scar-related VT were enrolled. The transmural activation interval (TAI, first endocar... Abstract

European heart journal. Cardiovascular Imaging, Volume 24, Issue 3, 1 1 2023, Pages 327-335 Feature-tracking computed tomography left atrial strain and long-term survival after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Hirasawa K, Singh GK, Kuneman JH, Gegenava T, van der Kley F, Hautemann D, Reiber JHC, Ajmone Marsan N, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Aims: Aortic stenosis (AS) induces left atrial (LA) remodelling through the increase of left ventricular (LV) filling pressures. Peak LA longitudinal strain (PALS), reflecting LA reservoir function, has been proposed as a prognostic marker in patients with AS. Feature-tracking (FT) multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) allows assessment of LA strain from MDCT data. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between PALS using FT MDCT and survival in patients with severe AS who u... Abstract

The New phytologist, Volume 237, Issue 6, 31 5 2023, Pages 2360-2374 The root-knot nematode effector MiMSP32 targets host 12-oxophytodienoate reductase 2 to regulate plant susceptibility. Verhoeven A, Finkers-Tomczak A, Prins P, Valkenburg-van Raaij DR, van Schaik CC, Overmars H, van Steenbrugge JJM, Tacken W, Varossieau K, Slootweg EJ, Kappers IF, Quentin M, Goverse A, Sterken MG, Smant G
To establish persistent infections in host plants, herbivorous invaders, such as root-knot nematodes, must rely on effectors for suppressing damage-induced jasmonate-dependent host defenses. However, at present, the effector mechanisms targeting the biosynthesis of biologically active jasmonates to avoid adverse host responses are unknown. Using yeast two-hybrid, in planta co-immunoprecipitation, and mutant analyses, we identified 12-oxophytodienoate reductase 2 (OPR2) as an important host targe... Abstract

Van Den Hoven P, Osterkamp J, Nerup N, Svendsen MBS, Vahrmeijer A, Van Der Vorst JR, Achiam MP
Purpose: Incorrect assessment of tissue perfusion carries a significant risk of complications in surgery. The use of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging with Indocyanine Green (ICG) presents a possible solution. However, only through quantification of the fluorescence signal can an objective and reproducible evaluation of tissue perfusion be obtained. This narrative review aims to provide an overview of the available quantification methods for perfusion assessment using ICG NIR fluorescence... Abstract
