European heart journal. Cardiovascular Imaging, Volume 22, Issue 3, 1 1 2021, Pages 339-347 Left ventricular myocardial work in the culprit vessel territory and impact on left ventricular remodelling in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Lustosa RP, Fortuni F, van der Bijl P, Goedemans L, El Mahdiui M, Montero-Cabezas JM, Kostyukevich MV, Ajmone Marsan N, Bax JJ, Delgado V, Knuuti J
Aims: Adverse left ventricular (LV) remodelling after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with poor outcome. Global and regional LV myocardial work (LVMW) derived from speckle tracking echocardiographic strain data in combination with non-invasive blood pressure recordings could provide information for prediction of LV remodelling after STEMI. The aim of the study was to assess the predictive value of global and regional LVMW for LV remodelling before discharge in pa... Abstract

Background: Short-term follow-up of COVID-19 patients reveals pulmonary dysfunction, myocardial damage and severe psychological distress. Little is known of the burden of these sequelae, and there are no clear recommendations for follow-up of COVID-19 patients.In this multi-disciplinary evaluation, cardiopulmonary function and psychological impairment after hospitalization for COVID-19 are mapped. Methods: We evaluated patients at our outpatient clinic 6 weeks after discharge. Cardiopulmonary fu... Abstract

Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, Volume 8, Issue 2, 27 4 2021, Pages 12 A Systematic Histopathologic Evaluation of Type-A Aortic Dissections Implies a Uniform Multiple-Hit Causation. Grewal N, Velders BJJ, Gittenberger-de Groot AC, Poelmann R, Klautz RJM, Van Brakel TJ, Lindeman JHN
(1) Background: The pathophysiologic basis of an acute type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is largely unknown. In an effort to evaluate vessel wall defects, we systematically studied aortic specimens in TAAD patients. (2) Methods: Ascending aortic wall specimens (n = 58, mean age 63 years) with TAAD were collected. Autopsy tissues (n = 17, mean age 63 years) served as controls. All sections were studied histopathologically. (3) Results: Pathomorphology in TAAD showed predominantly moderate elastic f... Abstract

Profound understanding of healthy eating beliefs in populations with a low socioeconomic position (SEP) can benefit attempts to improve diet quality in this population, but literature on this subject is fragmented. The purpose of this scoping review was to systematically map healthy eating beliefs and the meaning of food and eating in populations with a low SEP. Systematic search of electronic databases yielded 35 relevant publications that were included in a qualitative synthesis. Populations w... Abstract

Dekkers C, Alizadeh Aghdam M, de Graaf M, Knulst AC, Meijer Y, van den Reek JMPA, Stadermann MB, Röckmann H
Background: Evidence on safety and effectiveness of omalizumab for treatment of chronic urticaria in pediatric patients is scarce and limited to case reports. In particular, drug survival of omalizumab has not yet been investigated, which is a key element in the evaluation of its clinical performance. The aim of this study was to investigate safety, effectiveness, and drug survival rates of omalizumab in a daily practice cohort of pediatric patients with chronic urticaria (CU). Methods: This is...

Atherosclerosis, Volume 319, 18 3 2021, Pages 51-61 New cardiovascular prevention guidelines: How to optimally manage dyslipidaemia and cardiovascular risk in 2021 in patients needing secondary prevention? Atar D, Jukema JW, Molemans B, Taub PR, Goto S, Mach F, CerezoOlmos C, Underberg J, Keech A, Tokgözoğlu L, Bonaca MP
Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a principally modifiable cause of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; accordingly, recent European and US multisociety dyslipidaemia guidelines emphasise the importance of lowering LDL-C to reduce cardiovascular risk. This review provides perspectives on established and emerging agents that reduce LDL-C to help providers synthesize the abundance of new evidence related to prevention of cardiovascular disease. We provide hypothetical cas... Abstract

Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, Volume 7, 15 3 2021, Pages 604821 P300/CBP Associated Factor (PCAF) Deficiency Enhances Diet-Induced Atherosclerosis in ApoE3<sup>*</sup>Leiden Mice via Systemic Inhibition of Regulatory T Cells. de Jong A, de Jong RCM, Peters EA, Arens R, Jukema JW, de Vries MR, Quax PHA
Background: Inflammatory stimuli induced by NF-kB drive atherosclerotic lesion formation. The epigenetic P300/CBP associated factor (PCAF) post-transcriptionally acetylates FoxP3, which is required for regulatory T-cell (Treg) differentiation and immune modulation. We hypothesize that PCAF deficiency affects atherosclerosis via regulation of regulatory Tregs. Method: ApoE3*Leiden (n = 13) and ApoE3*LeidenxPCAF-/- (n = 13) were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) containing 1.25% cholesterol. Systemic FoxP... Abstract

Genome biology, Volume 22, Issue 1, 14 2 2021, Pages 36 SPIN reveals genome-wide landscape of nuclear compartmentalization. Wang Y, Zhang Y, Zhang R, van Schaik T, Zhang L, Sasaki T, Peric-Hupkes D, Chen Y, Gilbert DM, van Steensel B, Belmont AS, Ma J
We report SPIN, an integrative computational method to reveal genome-wide intranuclear chromosome positioning and nuclear compartmentalization relative to multiple nuclear structures, which are pivotal for modulating genome function. As a proof-of-principle, we use SPIN to integrate nuclear compartment mapping (TSA-seq and DamID) and chromatin interaction data (Hi-C) from K562 cells to identify 10 spatial compartmentalization states genome-wide relative to nuclear speckles, lamina, and putative...

International journal of molecular sciences, Volume 22, Issue 2, 13 2 2021, Pages E755 Cell-Based Tracers as Trojan Horses for Image-Guided Surgery. Sier VQ, de Vries MR, van der Vorst JR, Vahrmeijer AL, van Kooten C, Cruz LJ, de Geus-Oei LF, Ferreira V, Sier CFM, Alves F, Muthana M
Surgeons rely almost completely on their own vision and palpation to recognize affected tissues during surgery. Consequently, they are often unable to distinguish between different cells and tissue types. This makes accurate and complete resection cumbersome. Targeted image-guided surgery (IGS) provides a solution by enabling real-time tissue recognition. Most current targeting agents (tracers) consist of antibodies or peptides equipped with a radiolabel for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) an... Abstract

Human noroviruses are the most common nonbacterial cause of gastroenteritis outbreaks, with new variants and genotypes frequently emerging. The origin of these new viruses is unknown; however, animals have been proposed as a potential source, as human noroviruses have been detected in animal species. Here, we investigated the potential of animals to serve as a reservoir of human noroviruses by testing norovirus attachment to formalin-fixed intestinal tissues of a range of potential reservoir ani...

Schwartz GG, Gabriel Steg P, Bhatt DL, Bittner VA, Diaz R, Goodman SG, Jukema JW, Kim YU, Li QH, Manvelian G, Pordy R, Sourdille T, White HD, Szarek M, ODYSSEY OUTCOMES Committees and Investigators
Background: Recent international guidelines have lowered recommended target levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) for patients at very high risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). However, uncertainty persists whether additional benefit results from achieved LDL-C levels below the conventional targets. Inferences from previous analyses are limited because patients who achieve lower versus higher LDL-C on lipid-lowering therapy differ in other characteristics prognost... Abstract
