Xenon and isoflurane reduce left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction in the rat.
Roehl AB, Funcke S, Becker MM, Goetzenich A, Bleilevens C, Rossaint R, Steendijk P, Hein M
Background: Xenon and isoflurane are known to have cardioprotective properties. We tested the hypothesis that these anesthetics positively influence myocardial remodeling 28 days after experimental perioperative myocardial infarction and compared their effects. Methods: A total of 60 male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 60 min of coronary artery occlusion and 120 min of reperfusion. Prior to ischemia, the animals were randomized for the different narcotic regimes (0.6 vol% isoflurane, 70 v...

The role of methylation in urological tumours.
van der Heijden AG
Alterations in DNA methylation have been described in human cancer for more than thirty years now. Since the last decade DNA methylation gets more and more important in cancer research. In this review the different alterations of DNA methylation are discussed in testicular germ cell tumours, Wilms'tumours, renal cell carcinomas, urothelial cell carcinomas of the bladder and adenocarcinomas of the prostate. Eventually, the potential use in diagnostics, prognostics and therapy are discussed.

The cognitive economy: the probabilistic turn in psychology and human cognition.
Kusev P, van Schaik P
According to the foundations of economic theory, agents have stable and coherent "global" preferences that guide their choices among alternatives. However, people are constrained by information-processing and memory limitations and hence have a propensity to avoid cognitive load. We propose that this in turn will encourage them to respond to "local" preferences and goals influenced by context and memory representations.

The Val158Met polymorphism of the COMT gene is associated with increased pain sensitivity in morphine-treated patients undergoing a painful procedure after cardiac surgery.
Ahlers SJ, Elens LL, van Gulik L, van Schaik RH, van Dongen EP, Bruins P, Tibboel D, Knibbe CA
Aims: The catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) Val158Met polymorphism affected pain sensitivity of healthy volunteers upon application of experimental pain stimuli. The relevance of these findings in morphine-treated postoperative cardiac patients undergoing painful healthcare procedures is unknown; therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate whether the COMT Val158Met polymorphism increases pain sensitivity in morphine-treated patients undergoing an unavoidable painful routine procedure...

Adaptation of heart to training: a comparative study using echocardiography & impedance cardiography in male & female athletes.
Yilmaz DC, Buyukakilli B, Gurgul S, Rencuzogullari I
Background & objectives: Intensive regular physical exercise training is associated with a physiological changes in left ventricular (LV) morphology and functions. This cardiac remodeling observed in the athletes is associated with the specific haemodynamic requirements of the exercise undertaken. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of endurance training on cardiac morphology, systolic and diastolic LV functions and haemodynamic parameters both in male and female athle...

Remote monitoring of patients with implanted devices: data exchange and integration.
Van der Velde ET, Atsma DE, Foeken H, Witteman TA, Hoekstra WH
Background: Remote follow-up of implanted implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) may offer a solution to the problem of overcrowded outpatient clinics, and may also be effective in detecting clinical events early. Data obtained from remote follow up systems, as developed by all major device companies, are stored in a central database system, operated and owned by the device company. A problem now arises that the patient's clinical information is partly stored in the local electronic...

Distinct loading conditions reveal various patterns of right ventricular adaptation.
Borgdorff MA, Bartelds B, Dickinson MG, Steendijk P, de Vroomen M, Berger RM
Right ventricular (RV) failure due to chronically abnormal loading is a main determinant of outcome in pulmonary hypertension (PH) and congenital heart disease. However, distinct types of RV loading have been associated with different outcomes. To determine whether the adaptive RV response depends on loading type, we compared hemodynamics, exercise, and hypertrophy in models of pressure overload due to pulmonary artery banding (PAB), pressure overload due to PH, combined pressure and volume over...

The Enterococcus faecium enterococcal biofilm regulator, EbrB, regulates the esp operon and is implicated in biofilm formation and intestinal colonization.
Top J, Paganelli FL, Zhang X, van Schaik W, Leavis HL, van Luit-Asbroek M, van der Poll T, Leendertse M, Bonten MJ, Willems RJ
Nowadays, Enterococcus faecium is one of the leading nosocomial pathogens worldwide. Strains causing clinical infections or hospital outbreaks are enriched in the enterococcal surface protein (Esp) encoding ICEEfm1 mobile genetic element. Previous studies showed that Esp is involved in biofilm formation, endocarditis and urinary tract infections. In this study, we characterized the role of the putative AraC type of regulator (locus tag EfmE1162_2351), which we renamed ebrB and which is, based on...

de Graaf MA, El-Naggar HM, Boogers MJ, Veltman CE, Broersen A, Kitslaar PH, Dijkstra J, Kroft LJ, Al Younis I, Reiber JH, Bax JJ, Delgado V, Scholte AJ
Purpose: Automated software tools have permitted more comprehensive, robust and reproducible quantification of coronary stenosis, plaque burden and plaque location of coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) data. The association between these quantitative CTA (QCT) parameters and the presence of myocardial ischaemia has not been explored. The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the association between QCT parameters of coronary artery lesions and the presence of myocardial is...

Mitral valve geometry and hemodynamics after surgical mitral valve annuloplasty and implications for percutaneous treatment of patients with recurrent mitral regurgitation.
Al Amri I, Debonnaire P, Witkowski T, van der Kley F, Palmen M, de Weger A, Klautz RJ, Bax JJ, Schalij MJ, Ajmone Marsan N, Delgado V
The feasibility of transcatheter mitral valve therapy (edge-to-edge or valve-in-ring technique) in patients with significant mitral regurgitation (MR) recurrence after surgical restrictive mitral valve annuloplasty remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the eligibility for transcatheter mitral valve therapy of high-surgical-risk patients with significant MR recurrence after initial successful restrictive mitral valve annuloplasty.

Sex difference in formation of propofol metabolites: a replication study.
Choong E, Loryan I, Lindqvist M, Nordling Å, el Bouazzaoui S, van Schaik RH, Johansson I, Jakobsson J, Ingelman-Sundberg M
Women recover faster from propofol anaesthesia and have been described to have a higher incidence of awareness during surgery, compared to men - an effect that may be inherent in sex differences in propofol metabolism. In an observational study, 98 ASA I-II patients treated with continuous propofol infusion were recruited. The associations between sex and CYP2B6 and UGT1A9 polymorphisms with dose- and weight-adjusted area under the total plasma level time curves (AUC) for propofol, and its metab...

Long-term tricuspid valve prosthesis-related complications in patients with congenital heart disease.
van Slooten YJ, Freling HG, van Melle JP, Mulder BJ, Jongbloed MR, Ebels T, Voors AA, Pieper PG
Objectives: In patients with acquired valvar disease, morbidity and mortality rates after tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) are high. However, in adult patients with congenital heart disease, though data concerning outcome after TVR are scarce, even poorer results are suggested in patients with Ebstein anomaly. To investigate the applicability of these results to a broader array of congenital heart disease patients, we report the long-term follow-up of prosthesis-related complications, including...
