Time-series sewage metagenomics distinguishes seasonal, human-derived and environmental microbial communities potentially allowing source-attributed surveillance.
Becsei Á, Fuschi A, Otani S, Kant R, Weinstein I, Alba P, Stéger J, Visontai D, Brinch C, de Graaf M, Schapendonk CME, Battisti A, De Cesare A, Oliveri C, Troja F, Sironen T, Vapalahti O, Pasquali F, Bányai K, Makó M, Pollner P, Merlotti A, Koopmans M, Csabai I, Remondini D, Aarestrup FM, Munk P
Sewage metagenomics has risen to prominence in urban population surveillance of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Unknown species with similarity to known genomes cause database bias in reference-based metagenomics. To improve surveillance, we seek to recover sewage genomes and develop a quantification and correlation workflow for these genomes and AMR over time. We use longitudinal sewage sampling in seven treatment plants from five major European cities to explore the utility of ca...

Background: Ventricular repolarization time (ECG QT and JT intervals) is associated with malignant arrhythmia. Genome-wide association studies have identified 230 independent loci for QT and JT; however, 50% of their heritability remains unexplained. Previous work supports a causal effect of lower serum calcium concentrations on longer ventricular repolarization time. We hypothesized calcium interactions with QT and JT variant associations could explain a proportion of the missing heritability....

Patient selection, ventricular tachycardia substrate delineation and data transfer for stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation. A Clinical Consensus Statement of the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) of the ESC and the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS).
Zeppenfeld K, Rademaker R, Al-Ahmad A, Carbucicchio C, De Chillou C, Ebert M, Stevenson WG, Ho G, Kautzner J, Sramko M, Lambiase P, Lloyd M, Merino JL, Pruvot E, Sapp J, Schiappacasse L, Zei PC
Stereotactic arrythmia radioablation (STAR) is a novel, non-invasive and promising treatment option for ventricular arrythmias (VA). It has been applied in highly selected patients mainly as bail-out procedure, when (multiple) catheter-ablations, together with anti-arrhythmic drugs, were unable to control the VAs. Despite the increasing clinical use there is still limited knowledge of the acute and long-term response of normal and diseased myocardium to STAR. Acute toxicity appeared to be reason...
