The challenge of choosing in cardiovascular risk management.
Hoogeveen RM, Hanssen NMJ, Brouwer JR, Mosterd A, Tack CJ, Kroon AA, de Borst GJ, Ten Berg J, van Trier T, van Lennep JR, Liem A, Serné E, Visseren FLJ, Cornel JH, Peters RJG, Jukema JW, Stroes ESG, PANORAMA working group
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. For many years guidelines have listed optimal preventive therapy. More recently, novel therapeutic options have broadened the options for state-of-the-art CV risk management (CVRM). In the majority of patients with CVD, risk lowering can be achieved by utilising standard preventive medication combined with lifestyle modifications. In a minority of patients, add-on therapies should be considered to further reduce...

Ruptured Aneurysm of the Common Iliac Artery Caused by <i>Brucella melitensis</i>: A Case Report.
Willems SA, Buntinx M, Gelinck LBS, van Schaik J, Eefting D
Introduction: Brucella is a genus of aerobic Gram negative bacteria that causes the disease brucellosis. It is considered a zoonotic infection transmitted to humans by ingestion of unpasteurised dairy products. Although aortic involvement is rarely seen, it can be a life threatening complication of this disease. This case report describes a ruptured aneurysm of the common iliac artery (CIA) due to secondary infection by Brucella melitensis. Report: A 79 year old man with a known isolated aneurys...

Effects of fatty acids on T cell function: role in atherosclerosis.
Reilly NA, Lutgens E, Kuiper J, Heijmans BT, Jukema JW
T cells are among the most common cell types present in atherosclerotic plaques and are increasingly being recognized as a central mediator in atherosclerosis development and progression. At the same time, triglycerides and fatty acids have re-emerged as crucial risk factors for atherosclerosis. Triglycerides and fatty acids are important components of the milieu to which the T cell is exposed from the circulation to the plaque, and increasing evidence shows that fatty acids influence T cell fun...

Kinetic and Microhydrodynamic Modeling of Fenofibrate Nanosuspension Production in a Wet Stirred Media Mill.
Guner G, Yilmaz D, Bilgili E
This study examined the impact of stirrer speed and bead material loading on fenofibrate particle breakage during wet stirred media milling (WSMM) via three kinetic models and a microhydrodynamic model. Evolution of median particle size was tracked via laser diffraction during WSMM operating at 3000-4000 rpm with 35-50% (v/v) concentration of polystyrene or zirconia beads. Additional experiments were performed at the center points of the above conditions, as well as outside the range of these co...

Superimposed Tissue Formation in Human Aortic Valve Disease: Differences between Regurgitant and Stenotic Valves.
Kruithof BPT, van Wijngaarden AL, Mousavi Gourabi B, Hjortnaes J, Palmen M, Ajmone Marsan N
The formation of superimposed tissue (SIT), a layer on top of the original valve leaflet, has been described in patients with mitral regurgitation as a major contributor to valve thickening and possibly as a result of increased mechanical stresses. However, little is known whether SIT formation also occurs in aortic valve disease. We therefore performed histological analyses to assess SIT formation in aortic valve leaflets (n = 31) from patients with aortic stenosis (n = 17) or aortic regurgitat...

Prognostic Value of Natriuretic Peptides for All-Cause Mortality, Right Ventricular Failure, Major Adverse Events, and Myocardial Recovery in Advanced Heart Failure Patients Receiving a Left Ventricular Assist Device: A Systematic Review.
Janssen E, Jukema JW, Beeres SLMA, Schalij MJ, Tops LF
Aims: Major adverse event (MAE) rates during left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy in advanced heart failure (HF) patients are high, and impair quality of life and survival. Prediction and risk stratification of MAEs in order to improve patient selection and thereby outcome during LVAD therapy is therefore warranted. Circulating natriuretic peptides (NPs) are strong predictors of MAEs and mortality in chronic HF patients. However, whether NPs can identify patients who are at risk of MAEs...

Unraveling heterogeneity in pediatric atopic dermatitis: Identification of serum biomarker based patient clusters.
Bakker DS, de Graaf M, Nierkens S, Delemarre EM, Knol E, van Wijk F, de Bruin-Weller MS, Drylewicz J, Thijs JL
Background: Increasing evidence shows that pediatric atopic dermatitis (AD) differs from adult AD on a biologic level. Broad biomarker profiling across a wide range of ages of pediatric patients with AD is lacking. Objective: Our aim was to identify serum biomarker profiles in children with AD aged 0 to 17 years and compare these profiles with those previously found in adults with AD. Methods: Luminex multiplex immunoassays were used to measure 145 biomarkers in serum from 240 children with AD (...

Prognostic Value of Maximal and Submaximal Exercise Performance in Fontan Patients < 15 Years of Age.
Terol Espinosa de Los Monteros C, Harteveld LM, Kuipers IM, Rammeloo L, Hazekamp MG, Blom NA, Ten Harkel ADJ
In patients after Fontan completion exercise capacity is significantly reduced. Although peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) is a strong prognostic factor in many cardiovascular diseases, it requires the achievement of a maximal effort. Therefore, submaximal exercise parameters such as oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) may be of value. In the present observational study we evaluated the exercise capacity with maximal and submaximal parameters in a group of Fontan patients with an extracardiac...

The Cancer SENESCopedia: A delineation of cancer cell senescence.
Jochems F, Thijssen B, De Conti G, Jansen R, Pogacar Z, Groot K, Wang L, Schepers A, Wang C, Jin H, Beijersbergen RL, Leite de Oliveira R, Wessels LFA, Bernards R
Cellular senescence is characterized as a stable proliferation arrest that can be triggered by multiple stresses. Most knowledge about senescent cells is obtained from studies in primary cells. However, senescence features may be different in cancer cells, since the pathways that are involved in senescence induction are often deregulated in cancer. We report here a comprehensive analysis of the transcriptome and senolytic responses in a panel of 13 cancer cell lines rendered senescent by two dis...

Functional Performance After Complex Endovascular Aortic Repair: A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study.
Warmerdam BWCM, van Holstein Y, Eefting D, van Rijswijk CSP, van der Meer RW, Mooijaart SP, Hamming JF, van der Vorst JR, van Schaik J
Purpose: Complex endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) procedures provide a treatment option for patients with aortic aneurysms involving visceral branches. Good technical results and short-term outcomes have been reported. Whether complex EVAR provides acceptable functional outcomes is not clear. The current study aims to describe postoperative functional outcomes in complex EVAR patients-an older and relatively frail patient group. Materials and methods: A single-center retrospective cohort study...

Phosphorylcholine antibodies restrict infarct size and left ventricular remodelling by attenuating the unreperfused post-ischaemic inflammatory response.
Pluijmert NJ, de Jong RCM, de Vries MR, Pettersson K, Atsma DE, Jukema JW, Quax PHA
Phosphorylcholine is a pro-inflammatory epitope exposed on apoptotic cells, and phosphorylcholine monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig)G antibodies (PC-mAb) have anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we hypothesize that PC-mAb treatment reduces adverse cardiac remodelling and infarct size (IS) following unreperfused transmural myocardial infarction (MI). Unreperfused MI was induced by permanent ligation of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery in hypercholesterolaemic APOE*3-Leiden...

Background: Statins are a potential treatment for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis complementary to conventional anticoagulants without associated bleeding complications. This study aimed to compare pro-thrombotic activities of different classes of lipid-lowering drugs in an active comparator design and determine whether there is a relation between statin versus fibrate/niacin use and pro-coagulant factor outcomes. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of participants from the Neth...
