Cognition presents evolutionary research with one of its greatest challenges. Cognitive evolution has been explained at the proximate level by shifts in absolute and relative brain volume and at the ultimate level by differences in social and dietary complexity. However, no study has integrated the experimental and phylogenetic approach at the scale required to rigorously test these explanations. Instead, previous research has largely relied on various measures of brain size as proxies for cogni...

Evaluation of the use of dry cow antibiotics in low somatic cell count cows.
Scherpenzeel CG, den Uijl IE, van Schaik G, Olde Riekerink RG, Keurentjes JM, Lam TJ
The goal of dry cow therapy (DCT) is to reduce the prevalence of intramammary infections (IMI) by eliminating existing IMI at drying off and preventing new IMI from occurring during the dry period. Due to public health concerns, however, preventive use of antibiotics has become questionable. This study evaluated selective DCT in 1,657 cows with low somatic cell count (SCC) at the last milk recording before drying off in 97 Dutch dairy herds. Low SCC was defined as

Valve-sparing aortic root replacement†.
Koolbergen DR, Manshanden JS, Bouma BJ, Blom NA, Mulder BJ, de Mol BA, Hazekamp MG
Objectives: To evaluate our results of valve-sparing aortic root replacement and associated (multiple) valve repair. Methods: From September 2003 to September 2013, 97 patients had valve-sparing aortic root replacement procedures. Patient records and preoperative, postoperative and recent echocardiograms were reviewed. Median age was 40.3 (range: 13.4-68.6) years and 67 (69.1%) were male. Seven (7.2%) patients were younger than 18 years, the youngest being 13.4 years. Fifty-four (55.7%) had Marf...

Primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation in elderly patients: is it justified to withhold treatment?
van der Heijden AC, van Erven L, Schalij MJ, Borleffs CJ
Implementation of primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) treatment in the current clinical guidelines led to a significant increase in patients that may benefit from implantation of an ICD. Currently non-guideline-guided patient selection takes place by physicians whereby patients at higher age are more frequently excluded for ICD implantation. This editorial focuses on ICD treatment in the elderly and aims to clarify whether it is justified to withhold ICD treatment in...

Challenges in the training of military surgeons: experiences from Dutch combat operations in southern Afghanistan.
Hoencamp R, Tan EC, Idenburg F, Ramasamy A, van Egmond T, Leenen LP, Hamming JF
Background: To improve care for battle casualties, we analyzed the surgical workload during the Dutch deployment to Uruzgan, Afghanistan. This surgical workload was compared with the resident surgical training and the pre-deployment medical specialist program. Methods: Patient data from the trauma registry (2006-2010) at the Dutch Role 2 Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) were analyzed. The case logs of chief residents (n = 15) from the general surgery training program in the Netherlands were used...

Effects of selective digestive decontamination (SDD) on the gut resistome.
Buelow E, Gonzalez TB, Versluis D, Oostdijk EA, Ogilvie LA, van Mourik MS, Oosterink E, van Passel MW, Smidt H, D'Andrea MM, de Been M, Jones BV, Willems RJ, Bonten MJ, van Schaik W
Objectives: Selective digestive decontamination (SDD) is an infection prevention measure for critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs) that aims to eradicate opportunistic pathogens from the oropharynx and intestines, while sparing the anaerobic flora, by the application of non-absorbable antibiotics. Selection for antibiotic-resistant bacteria is still a major concern for SDD. We therefore studied the impact of SDD on the reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (i.e. the resistome...

Deterioration after corticosteroids in CIDP may be associated with pure focal demyelination pattern.
Eftimov F, Liesdek MH, Verhamme C, van Schaik IN, PREDICT study group
Background: In the PREDICT study, a randomised controlled trial comparing dexamethasone with prednisolone in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), almost a quarter of patients deteriorated soon after starting treatment. The primary objective of this post-hoc analysis was to test the hypothesis that a focal demyelination pattern is associated with early deterioration after corticosteroid treatment and to explore whether various clinical characteristics ar...

A metabolomic profile is associated with the risk of incident coronary heart disease.

Background: Metabolomics, defined as the comprehensive identification and quantification of low-molecular-weight metabolites to be found in a biological sample, has been put forward as a potential tool for classifying individuals according to their risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Here, we investigated whether a single-point blood measurement of the metabolome is associated with and predictive for the risk of CHD. Methods and results: We obtained proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectra in...

Data regarding circumstances leading to specific injuries, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) and hip fractures in older adults are scarce. Objective: To investigate the activity distributions leading to indoor and outdoor falls requiring an emergency department (ED) visit, and those resulting in TBIs and hip fractures. Participants: 5880 older adults who visited the ED due to a fall. Method...

Transcatheter mitral valve repair in osteogenesis imperfecta associated mitral valve regurgitation.
van der Kley F, Delgado V, Ajmone Marsan N, Schalij MJ
Objectives: Osteogenesis imperfecta is associated with increased prevalence of significant mitral valve regurgitation. Surgical mitral valve repair and replacement are feasible but are associated with increased risk of bleeding and dehiscence of implanted valves may occur more frequently. The present case report describes the outcomes of transcatheter mitral valve repair in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta. Patients/methods: A 60 year-old patient with osteogenesis imperfecta and associated...

Effect of aleglitazar on cardiovascular outcomes after acute coronary syndrome in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: the AleCardio randomized clinical trial.
Lincoff AM, Tardif JC, Schwartz GG, Nicholls SJ, Rydén L, Neal B, Malmberg K, Wedel H, Buse JB, Henry RR, Weichert A, Cannata R, Svensson A, Volz D, Grobbee DE, AleCardio Investigators
Importance: No therapy directed against diabetes has been shown to unequivocally reduce the excess risk of cardiovascular complications. Aleglitazar is a dual agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors with insulin-sensitizing and glucose-lowering actions and favorable effects on lipid profiles. Objective: To determine whether the addition of aleglitazar to standard medical therapy reduces cardiovascular morbidity and mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and a recen...

Combined chemohyperthermia: 10-year single center experience in 160 patients with nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer.
Arends TJ, van der Heijden AG, Witjes JA
Purpose: Nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer is characterized by a high recurrence rate. New adjuvant treatments are needed to decrease this high number of recurrences. We present the results of more than 10 years of experience with chemohyperthermia in patients with nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer. Materials and methods: Using standardized medical record forms we prospectively collected patient and tumor characteristics of patients treated with chemohyperthermia between 2002 and 2013. Median fo...

Feasibility of an automated quantitative computed tomography angiography-derived risk score for risk stratification of patients with suspected coronary artery disease.
de Graaf MA, Broersen A, Ahmed W, Kitslaar PH, Dijkstra J, Kroft LJ, Delgado V, Bax JJ, Reiber JH, Scholte AJ
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) has important prognostic value. Additionally, quantitative CTA (QCT) provides a more detailed accurate assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) on CTA. Potentially, a risk score incorporating all quantitative stenosis parameters allows accurate risk stratification. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if an automatic quantitative assessment of CAD using QCT combined into a CTA risk score allows risk stratification of patients. In...
