Willems SA, Pruim JD, van der Vorst JR, van Schaik J, Schepers A, Hamming JF, Brouwers JJWM
Background: The accurate prediction of foot ulcer healing remains a major challenge in clinical practice. To date, no reliable bedside tests are available. The primary aim of this study was to determine the prognostic performance of the maximal systolic acceleration (ACCmax) to predict ulcer healing. Secondary objectives comprised the investigation of the prognostic accuracy in patients prone to medial arterial calcification and to assess the potential risk of amputation. Methods: A single-cente...

A genome-wide association meta-analysis of all-cause and vascular dementia.
Mega Vascular Cognitive Impairment and Dementia (MEGAVCID) consortium
Introduction: Dementia is a multifactorial disease with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) pathologies making the largest contributions. Yet, most genome-wide association studies (GWAS) focus on AD. Methods: We conducted a GWAS of all-cause dementia (ACD) and examined the genetic overlap with VaD. Our dataset includes 800,597 individuals, with 46,902 and 8702 cases of ACD and VaD, respectively. Known AD loci for ACD and VaD were replicated. Bioinformatic analyses prioritiz...

Biofilm mitigation in hybrid chemical-biological upcycling of waste polymers.
Stoddard H, Kulas D, Zolghadr A, Aloba S, Schaerer LG, Putman L, Valencia I, Lacey JA, Shonnard DR, Techtmann SM, Ong RG
Introduction: Accumulation of plastic waste in the environment is a serious global issue. To deal with this, there is a need for improved and more efficient methods for plastic waste recycling. One approach is to depolymerize plastic using pyrolysis or chemical deconstruction followed by microbial-upcycling of the monomers into more valuable products. Microbial consortia may be able to increase stability in response to process perturbations and adapt to diverse carbon sources, but may be more li...

Intravascular lithotripsy for the treatment of peri-stent calcific lesions in saphenous vein grafts: A case series report.
Meijer M, Oliveri F, van Oort MJH, Bingen BO, van der Kley F, Jukema JW, Al Amri I, Montero-Cabezas JM
Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a cornerstone treatment for coronary artery disease, with the use of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) being prevalent. However, SVGs are susceptible to high failure rates due to graft inflammation, intimal hyperplasia, and atherosclerosis, leading to a substantial number of patients requiring revascularization. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of SVGs poses unique challenges, including increased risk of distal embolization and perforation...

Mitral valve repair with resection and non-resection techniques in Barlow's disease: A multi-center study.
Tomšič A, Holubec T, Sandoval E, Pham T, Castella M, Klautz RJM, Marsan NA, Pereda D, Palmen M
Background: Various mitral valve (MV) repair techniques are nowadays in use. Non-resection techniques, that rely exclusively on Gore-Tex® neochords and annuloplasty, have been popularized; however, their efficacy in Barlow's disease, characterized by large myxomatous leaflets, is yet unclear. Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing MV repair for Barlow's disease between 2011 and 2019 were selected on the basis of being eligible for resection and non-resection techniques. Study endpoin...

Accumulation of airborne microplastics on leaves of different tree species in the urban environment.
Leitão IA, Van Schaik L, Iwasaki S, Ferreira AJD, Geissen V
Microplastics (MPs) are omnipresent in the environment and they are linked to ecosystem and human health problems. The atmospheric transport of MPs and the role of tree leaves in MP atmospheric deposition has not been adequately studied. MP concentrations on the leaves of different tree species in urban regions of the Netherlands and Portugal, along with related MP deposition, were investigated in this study. We collected leaves from cedar, eucalyptus, oak, pine and willow trees, together with m...

The impact of the bluetongue serotype 3 outbreak on sheep and goat mortality in the Netherlands in 2023.
Santman-Berends IMGA, van den Brink KMJA, Dijkstra E, van Schaik G, Spierenburg MAH, van den Brom R
In September 2023, bluetongue virus serotype 3 (BTV-3) emerged in the Netherlands, infecting over five thousand livestock farms. In sheep, high morbidity and mortality rates were reported that were unlike previously described bluetongue outbreaks. This study aimed to quantify the impact of BTV-3 in the small ruminant population in the Netherlands in 2023. Sheep and goat movement census data and BTV-3 notification data were available from 2020 until the end of 2023. Data were aggregated to farm a...

Imaging and Quantification of the Hepatic Vasculature of Mice Using Ultrafast Doppler Ultrasound.
Stripling K, Timmermans F, Décombas-Deschamps S, Thalgott JH, Lemonnier D, de Vries MR, Rabelink TJ, Tanter M, Deffieux T, Lebrin F
Non-invasive in vivo imaging of the vasculature is a powerful tool for studying disease mechanisms in rodents. To achieve high sensitivity imaging of the microvasculature using Doppler ultrasound methods, imaging modalities employing the concept of ultrafast imaging are preferred. By increasing the frame rate of the ultrasound scanner to thousands of frames per second, it becomes possible to improve the sensitivity of the blood flow down to 2 mm/s and to obtain functional information about the m...

The impact of variations in the three-dimensional structure of the genome has been recognized, but solid cancer tissue studies are limited. Here, we performed integrated deep Hi-C sequencing with matched whole-genome sequencing, whole-genome bisulfite sequencing, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) sequencing and RNA sequencing across a cohort of 80 biopsy samples from patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Dramatic differences were present in gene expression, 5-methylcytosine...

Advances in the Assessment of Patients With Tricuspid Regurgitation: A State-of-the-Art Review on the Echocardiographic Evaluation Before and After Tricuspid Valve Interventions.
Badano LP, Tomaselli M, Muraru D, Galloo X, Li CHP, Ajmone Marsan N
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) can have a significant impact on the health and mortality of a patient. Unfortunately, many patients with advanced right-sided heart failure are not referred for isolated tricuspid valve (TV) surgery in a timely manner. This delayed referral has resulted in a high in-hospital mortality rate and significant undertreatment. Fortunately, transcatheter TV intervention (TTVI) has emerged as a safe and effective alternative to surgery, successfully reducing TR severity and...

Factors for a broad technology assessment of comprehensive genomic profiling in advanced cancer, a systematic review.
van Schaik LF, Engelhardt EG, Wilthagen EA, Steeghs N, Fernández Coves A, Joore MA, van Harten WH, Retèl VP
Comprehensive Genomic Profiling (CGP) allows for the identification of many targets. Reimbursement decision-making is, however, challenging because besides the health benefits of on-label treatments and costs, other factors related to diagnostic and treatment pathways may also play a role. The aim of this study was to identify which other factors are relevant for the technology assessment of CGP and to summarize the available evidence for these factors. After a scoping search and two expert sess...
