Characterization of Patient-Derived GNAQ Mutated Endothelial Cells from Capillary Malformations.
Langbroek GB, Stor MLE, Janssen V, de Haan A, Horbach SER, Graupera M, van Noesel CJM, van der Horst CMAM, Wolkerstorfer A, Huveneers S
Capillary malformations (CM) (port-wine stains) are congenital skin lesions that are characterized by dilated capillaries and postcapillary venules. CMs are caused by altered functioning of the vascular endothelium. Somatic genetic mutations have predominantly been identified in the endothelial cells of CMs, providing an opportunity for the development of targeted therapies. However, there is currently limited in-depth mechanistic insight into the pathophysiology and a lack of preclinical resear...

Hydrophobically modified complex coacervates for designing aqueous pressure-sensitive adhesives.
van Westerveld L, Es Sayed J, de Graaf M, Hofman AH, Kamperman M, Parisi D
The rheology of complex coacervates can be elegantly tuned via the design and control of specific non-covalent hydrophobic interactions between the complexed polymer chains. The well-controlled balance between elasticity and energy dissipation makes complex coacervates perfect candidates for pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs). In this work, the polyanion poly(3-sulfopropyl methacrylate) (PSPMA) and the polycation quaternized poly(4-vinylpyridine) (QP4VP) were used to prepare complex coacervates...

The association between sarcopenia and adverse outcomes after complex endovascular aortic repair.
Warmerdam BW, van Rijswijk CS, Droop A, Lucassen CJ, Hamming JF, van Schaik J, van der Vorst JR
Background: Sarcopenia is identified as a predictive factor for adverse outcomes after complex endovascular aortic repair (complex EVAR). Consensus on preferred parameters for sarcopenia is not yet reached. The current study compares three CT-assessed parameters on their association with adverse outcomes after complex EVAR. Methods: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study. Psoas Muscle Index (PMI), Skeletal Muscle Index (SMI), and lean psoas muscle area (LPMA) were examined by CT-seg...

SERS-based pH-Dependent detection of sulfites in wine by hydrogel nanocomposites.
Yilmaz D, Miranda B, Lonardo E, Rea I, De Stefano L, De Luca AC
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfites are well-known additives in winemaking due to their preservative properties. Although they can prevent oxidation and inhibit microbial growth, they pose health risks and require limitations on their use. Consequently, the total level of SO2 is regulated and several quantification strategies have been proposed. The approved detection methods require the extraction of SO2 by heating and/or acid treatment. Then, iodine or acid/base titrations are conducted for the...

Brief lifestyle advice in cardiac care: an experimental study on message source and framing.
IJzerman RVH, van der Vaart R, Breeman LD, van den Broek I, Keesman M, Kraaijenhagen RA, Reijnders T, Weerts M, Evers AWM, Scholte Op Reimer WJM, Janssen VR, BENEFIT consortium
Objective: Communicating risk information and offering lifestyle advice are important goals in cardiac rehabilitation. However, the most effective way and the most effective source to communicate this information are not yet known. Therefore, we examined the effect of source (cardiologist, physiotherapist) and framing (gain, loss) of brief lifestyle advice on patients' intention-to-change-lifestyle. Methods: In an online experimental study, 636 cardiac patients (40% female, 67 (10) yrs.) we...

Unusual Oligomeric Laccase-like Oxidases from Ascomycete <i>Curvularia geniculata</i> VKM F-3561 Polymerizing Phenylpropanoids and Phenolic Compounds under Neutral Environmental Conditions.
Renfeld ZV, Chernykh AM, Baskunov BP, Gaidina AS, Myasoedova NM, Egorova AD, Moiseeva OV, Gorina SY, Kolomytseva MP
The unique oligomeric alkaliphilic laccase-like oxidases of the ascomycete C. geniculata VKM F-3561 (with molecular masses about 1035 and 870 kDa) were purified and characterized for the first time. The ability of the enzymes to oxidize phenylpropanoids and phenolic compounds under neutral environmental conditions with the formation of previously unknown di-, tri-, and tetrameric products of transformation was shown. The possibility to obtain industrially valuable compounds (dihydroxybenzyl alco...

Predicting Radiation-Induced Lung Injury in Patients With Lung Cancer: Challenges and Opportunities.
Kuipers ME, van Doorn-Wink KCJ, Hiemstra PS, Slats AM
Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is one of the main dose-limiting toxicities in radiation therapy (RT) for lung cancer. Approximately 10% to 20% of patients show signs of RILI of variable severity. The reason for the wide range of RILI severity and the mechanisms underlying its development are only partially understood. A number of clinical risk factors have been identified that can aid in clinical decision making. Technological advancements in RT and the use of strict organ-at-risk dose con...

A global multidisciplinary workshop was convened to discuss the multimodality diagnostic evaluation of aortic regurgitation (AR). Specifically, the focus was on assessment tools for AR severity and analyzing evolving data on the optimal timing of aortic valve intervention. The key concepts from this expert panel are summarized as: 1) echocardiography is the primary imaging modality for assessment of AR severity; however, when data is incongruent or incomplete, cardiac magnetic resonance may be h...

Background: Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) using the MitraClip (Abbott Vascular) system has emerged as a standard treatment for patients with symptomatic severe secondary or inoperable primary mitral regurgitation (MR). The relatively recent approval of the PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System (Edwards Lifesciences) has expanded the options of TEER devices. However, evidence comparing PASCAL with MitraClip systems is still limited. Methods: We conducted a systematic literature rese...

Aims: During the diagnostic work-up of patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF), next-generation sequencing panels can be considered to identify genotypes associated with arrhythmias. However, consensus for gene panel testing is still lacking, and variants of uncertain significance (VUS) are often identified. The aim of this study was to evaluate genetic testing and its results in idiopathic VF patients. Methods and results: We investigated 419 patients with available medical recor...

Aortic valve visualization and pressurization device: a novel device for intraoperative evaluation of aortic valve repair procedures.
Arabkhani B, Sandker SC, Braun J, Hjortnaes J, van Brakel TJ, Koolbergen DR, Klautz RJM, Hazekamp MG
Objectives: Aortic valve repair procedures are technically challenging, and current intraoperative evaluation methods often fail to predict the final echocardiographic result. We have developed a novel intraoperative aortic valve visualization and pressurization (AVP) device, enabling valve inspection under physiological conditions, and measuring aortic valve insufficiency (AI) during cardioplegic arrest. Methods: The AVP device is attached to the (neo)aorta, after any type of aortic valve repai...

Sex-specific difference in cardiac function in patients with systemic sclerosis: association with cardiovascular outcomes.
Gegenava T, Fortuni F, van Leeuwen NM, Tennoe AH, Hoffmann-Vold AM, Jurcut R, Giuca A, Groseanu L, Tanner F, Distler O, Bax JJ, De Vries-Bouwstra J, Ajmone Marsan N
Background: Cardiovascular involvement is one of the leading causes of mortality in systemic sclerosis (SSc) and is reported to be higher in men as compared with women. However, the cause of this difference is largely unknown. The objective of this study was to assess sex differences in echocardiographic characteristics, including left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS), as a potential explanation of sex differences in outcomes. Methods: A total of 746 patients with SSc from four ce...
