Explainable and likelihood aware AI framework for MRI-based pixel-level bladder tumour prediction.
Khan M, de Groot AG, Cornel EB, van der Heijden AG, Siepel FJ
Bladder tumours (BTs) pose significant clinical challenges due to their high recurrence rates and risk of progression to invasive malignancies, which emphasises the need for early and accurate detection. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with its superior soft tissue contrast, is a potential modality for BT detection. To analyse the MRI scans, artificial intelligence (AI) models are increasingly being leveraged. However, these models are often limited by a scarcity of annotated datasets, challen...

Blood and tissue correlates of steroid non-response in checkpoint inhibition-induced immune-related adverse events.
van Eijs MJM, van der Wal MM, Klotškova HB, Dautzenberg NMM, Schuiveling M, Verheijden RJ, van Schaik FDM, Oldenburg B, Nierkens S, UNICIT Consortium, Suijkerbuijk KPM, van Wijk F
Background: High-dose steroids constitute the cornerstone of first-line treatment for immune-related adverse events (irAEs) associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, but compromise antitumor immunity. A deeper understanding of irAEs and their response to steroids can improve management. Methods: Using a multi-omics approach, we investigated blood- and tissue-based correlates of steroid response, focusing on gastro-intestinal irAEs, in the largest cohort to date. Results: Here we show clear t...

Disentangling perceptual from non-perceptual expectation biases in short-term memory.
Koopmans JG, Thorat S, Quek GL, Peelen MV
There is debate about how many items can be represented in visual consciousness at once. Evidence against the view that visual consciousness consists of many detailed items has come from a study using the partial-report paradigm. De Gardelle et al. (2009) showed that rotated letters shown in non-cued (i.e., unattended) parts of a briefly presented letter array are sometimes illusorily perceived as upright. Presumably, the expectation that letters are generally seen upright modulated a rotated le...

[Cognitive bias in surgery: correctable failure or inevitably human?]
Hamming JF, Adriaanse MA
A review in the Annals of Surgery addressed the role of cognitive bias and heuristics in creating surgical complications and death. Bias and heuristics in decision making is not new, but the fact that surgeons and clinicians in general are influenced by them is apparently still noteworthy. The idea that clinicians act purely rational or should persists. But doctors are not computers. Nevertheless interventions aiming at improving behaviour of clinicians is based on the assumption that more knowl...

Nordic consensus document on Evolut FX+ transcatheter aortic valve implantation: optimizing index implantation and longer-term outcomes.
Khokhar AA, Savontaus M, Al-Ani A, Terkselsen CJ, Bieliauskas G, van der Heijden A, Amin AAA, James S, Russell K, De Backer O
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI) is an established treatment strategy for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS). Multiple landmark randomized controlled trials have consistently demonstrated the safety, efficacy, and longer-term durability of the CoreValve/Evolut (Medtronic, MN, USA) transcatheter aortic valve (TAV) platform in treating severe AS. These findings have supported the expansion of TAVI to younger patients with longer life expectancy, in whom an optimized...

Giant coronary artery aneurysms: a case series and management recommendations.
Vink AS, Grundeken MJD, Straver B, Robbers-Visser D, Bouma BJ, Koolbergen DR, De Winter RJ, Beijk MAM
Background: Coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are a rare clinical entity, and little is known about their natural history, prognosis, and management. Invasive management of patients with CAA is challenging not only because of this limited understanding but also due to the technical challenges associated with both percutaneous and surgical interventions. Case summary: We describe the management of seven cases with giant CAAs in an elective setting. Our first case demonstrates successful percutaneo...

Reducing functional dysconnectivity in people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
Wunderlich S, Keeser D, Spaeth J, Yilmaz D, Maurus I, Alici C, Schmitt A, Falkai P, Stoecklein S, Roell L
Background: The dysconnection hypothesis of schizophrenia posits that widespread synaptic inefficiencies lead to altered macroscale brain connectivity, contributing to symptom severity and cognitive deficits in individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD). Emerging evidence suggests that physical exercise may help to ameliorate these connectivity abnormalities and associated clinical impairments. Aims: This study investigated whether reductions in functional dysconnectivity following...

van der Horst SFB, Chu G, Seelig J, Trinks-Roerdink EM, Voorhout L, de Vries TAC, van Alem AP, Beukema RJ, Boersma LVA, Brouwer MA, Ten Cate H, Faber LM, de Groot JR, Gu YL, den Hartog FR, de Jong JSSG, de Jong Y, Kirchhof CJHJ, Kleijwegt FS, Klok FA, Kruip MJHA, Lenderink T, Luermans JG, Meeder JG, Otten AM, Pisters R, Pos L, Prins FJ, Römer TJ, Smeets F, Tahapary GJM, Theunissen LJHJ, Tieleman RG, Timmer SAJ, Tichelaar V, Trines SA, van der Voort P, Velthuis S, de Vrey EA, Walhout RJ, Hemels MEW, Rutten FH, Geersing GJ, Huisman MV
Background: Atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF/AFL) is associated with an increased stroke risk, for which oral anticoagulation (OAC) is often indicated. Bleeding risk assessment is crucial in these patients to mitigate bleeding complications, yet AF guidelines do not recommend the use of any bleeding risk score (e.g., HAS-BLED) due to concerns about predictive accuracy. The AF-adapted VTE-BLEED (AF-BLEED) score was developed to predict major bleeding (MB) post-OAC initiation. Aims: Evaluate the in...

Yang JH, Race J, Sumowski P, Jacques K, Fardad S, Fair A, Hazlett A, Lin J, Yilmaz D, Aaen G, Abrams A, Benson L, Casper TC, Chitnis T, Gorman M, Lotze T, Krupp L, Mar S, Ness J, Rensel M, Rose J, Schreiner T, Tillema JM, Waldman A, Wheeler Y, Barcellos LF, Waubant E, Graves JS
Background: Age is the strongest factor determining disease expression in multiple sclerosis (MS). We previously demonstrated biological age acceleration in pediatric-onset MS (POMS) compared to controls with both epigenetic clocks (DNAm) and telomere length (TL). It is unknown whether these markers report overlapping or distinct aging-related processes. Objectives: To determine the correlation between DNAm and TL aging markers. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional case-control study within t...
