Inhibition of Cdk5 increases osteoblast differentiation and bone mass and improves fracture healing.
Ahmad M, Krüger BT, Kroll T, Vettorazzi S, Dorn AK, Mengele F, Lee S, Nandi S, Yilmaz D, Stolz M, Tangudu NK, Vázquez DC, Pachmayr J, Cirstea IC, Spasic MV, Ploubidou A, Ignatius A, Tuckermann J
Identification of regulators of osteoblastogenesis that can be pharmacologically targeted is a major goal in combating osteoporosis, a common disease of the elderly population. Here, unbiased kinome RNAi screening in primary murine osteoblasts identified cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) as a suppressor of osteoblast differentiation in both murine and human preosteoblastic cells. Cdk5 knockdown by siRNA, genetic deletion using the Cre-loxP system, or inhibition with the small molecule roscovitine...

Routes of transmission of VIM-positive Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the adult intensive care unit-analysis of 9 years of surveillance at a university hospital using a mathematical model.
Pham TM, Büchler AC, Voor In 't Holt AF, Severin JA, Bootsma MCJ, Gommers D, Kretzschmar ME, Vos MC
Background: Hospital outbreaks of multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa are often caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa clones which produce metallo-β-lactamases, such as Verona Integron-encoded Metallo-β-lactamase (VIM). Although different sources have been identified, the exact transmission routes often remain unknown. However, quantifying the role of different transmission routes of VIM-PA is important for tailoring infection prevention and control measures. The aim of this study is to quanti...

Prognostic implications of left ventricular myocardial work index in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction.
Butcher SC, Lustosa RP, Abou R, Marsan NA, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Aims: This study aimed to determine whether lower values of left ventricular (LV) global work index (GWI) at baseline were associated with a reduction in LV functional recovery and poorer long-term prognosis in patients with reduced LV ejection fraction (LVEF ≤40%) following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods and results: A total of 197 individuals (62 ± 12 years, 75% male) with STEMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention and reduced LVEF were evaluated...

Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of surgery versus casting for elderly patients with <b>D</b>isplaced intra-<b>A</b>rticular type C distal <b>R</b>adius fractures: protocol of a randomised controlled <b>T</b>rial with economic evaluation (the DART study).
Ter Meulen DP, Mulders MAM, Kruiswijk AA, Kret EJ, Slichter ME, van Dongen JM, Kerkhoffs GMMJ, Goslings JC, Kleinlugtenbelt YV, Willigenburg NW, Schep NWL, Poolman RW, DART Study Group
Introduction: Current literature is inconclusive about the optimal treatment of elderly patients with displaced intra-articular distal radius fractures. Cast treatment is less invasive and less expensive than surgical treatment. Nevertheless, surgery is often the preferred treatment for this common type of distal radius fracture. Patients with a non-acceptable position after closed reduction are more likely to benefit from surgery than patients with an acceptable position after closed reduction....

Meta-Analysis of Bilateral Versus Single Internal Thoracic Artery Grafting in Patients ≥70 Years of Age.
Mulder BS, Candura D, Schoones JW, Etnel JRG, Schouten GN, de Weger A, Tomšič A, Klautz RJM
The optimal choice of graft material in patients ≥70 years of age undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting remains unknown. A systematic review of literature was conducted by searching PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases for original publications that compared bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) grafting with single internal thoracic artery grafting in patients ≥70 years of age. Data were extracted by 2 independent investigators and meta-analyzed with the use o...

Prognostic Implications of Right Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in Cardiac Amyloidosis.
Tjahjadi C, Fortuni F, Stassen J, Debonnaire P, Lustosa RP, Marsan NA, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction in cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is associated with poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic implications of right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction in CA. A total of 93 patients diagnosed with CA who underwent standard and speckle-tracking echocardiography were included. During a median follow-up of 17 (5 to 38) months, 42 patients (45%) died. Nonsurvivors were more likely to present with immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis and...

Correlation between quantification of myocardial area at risk and ischemic burden at cardiac computed tomography.
van Driest FY, Bijns CM, van der Geest RJ, Broersen A, Dijkstra J, Jukema JW, Scholte AJHA
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the correlation between myocardial area at risk at coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and the ischemic burden derived from myocardial computed tomography perfusion (CTP) by using the 17-segment model. Methods: Forty-two patients with chest pain complaints who underwent a combined CCTA and CTP protocol were identified. Patients with reversible ischemia at CTP and at least one stenosis of ≥ 50% at CCTA were selected. Myocardial area at risk was...
