Prolongation of the QTc interval is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases: The Hoorn study.
Welten SJGC, van der Heijden AA, Remmelzwaal S, Blom MT, Nijpels G, Rutters F, Beulens JWJ, Elders PJM, ESCAPE-NET investigators
Background/objective: Prolonged heart rate-corrected QT interval (QTc) on the electrocardiogram (ECG) is maybe associated with the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), but the evidence is inconsistent. Therefore, we investigated whether baseline prolongation of the QTc interval is associated with CVD morbidity and mortality and its subtypes and whether glucose tolerance modifies this association in a population-based cohort study with a mean follow-up of 10.8 years. Methods: We analyzed...

van Eerden RAG, IJzerman NS, van Meekeren M, Oomen-de Hoop E, Guchelaar NAD, Visser AMW, Matic M, van Schaik RHN, de Bruijn P, Moes DAR, Jobse PA, Gelderblom H, Huitema ADR, Steeghs N, Mathijssen RHJ, Koolen SLW, Dutch Pharmacology Oncology Group
Introduction: A genetic variant explaining a part of the exposure of many kinase inhibitors (KIs) is the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) CYP3A4*22, resulting in less CYP3A4 enzyme activity. The primary aim of this study was to investigate if the systemic exposure is non-inferior after a dose reduction of KIs metabolized by CYP3A4 in CYP3A4*22 carriers compared to patients without this SNP (i.e., wildtype patients) receiving the standard dose. Methods: In this multicenter, prospective, non-i...

Ruling out acute coronary syndrome in primary care with a clinical decision rule and a capillary, high-sensitive troponin I point of care test: study protocol of a diagnostic RCT in the Netherlands (POB HELP).
van den Bulk S, Petrus AHJ, Willemsen RTA, Boogers MJ, Meeder JG, Rahel BM, van den Akker-van Marle ME, Numans ME, Dinant GJ, Bonten TN
Introduction: Chest pain is a common reason for consultation in primary care. To rule out acute coronary syndrome (ACS), general practitioners (GP) refer 40%-70% of patients with chest pain to the emergency department (ED). Only 10%-20% of those referred, are diagnosed with ACS. A clinical decision rule, including a high-sensitive cardiac troponin-I point-of-care test (hs-cTnI-POCT), may safely rule out ACS in primary care. Being able to safely rule out ACS at the GP level reduces referrals and...

Is the intimal thickness a key contributor to thoracic aortopathy?
Grewal N, Poelmann R
Background: An aortic dissection is the most devastating complication of thoracic aortic disease. Several non- and syndromic conditions such as a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and Marfan syndrome (MFS) have a severely increased risk to develop a thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection. To date, the medial layer has been extensively studied in search of the pathogenetic mechanisms leading to aortic complications. Objective: We aim to determine whether intimal layer pathology is characteristic in al...

Using a Combination of Indirect Calorimetry, Infrared Thermography, and Blood Glucose Levels to Measure Brown Adipose Tissue Thermogenesis in Humans.
Van Schaik L, Kettle C, Green RA, Irving HR, Rathner JA
In mammals, brown adipose tissue (BAT) is activated rapidly in response to cold in order to maintain body temperature. Although BAT has been studied greatly in small animals, it is difficult to measure the activity of BAT in humans. Therefore, little is known about the heat-generating capacity and physiological significance of BAT in humans, including the degree to which components of the diet can activate BAT. This is due to the limitations in the currently most used method to assess the activa...

Noise reduction strategies in metagenomic chromosome confirmation capture to link antibiotic resistance genes to microbial hosts.
McCallum GE, Rossiter AE, Quraishi MN, Iqbal TH, Kuehne SA, van Schaik W
The gut microbiota is a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs). With current sequencing methods, it is difficult to assign ARGs to their microbial hosts, particularly if these ARGs are located on plasmids. Metagenomic chromosome conformation capture approaches (meta3C and Hi-C) have recently been developed to link bacterial genes to phylogenetic markers, thus potentially allowing the assignment of ARGs to their hosts on a microbiome-wide scale. Here, we generated a meta3C dataset of...

The R″ wave in V1 and the negative terminal QRS vector in aVF combine to a novel 12-lead ECG algorithm to identify slow conducting anatomical isthmus 3 in patients with tetralogy of Fallot.
Wallet J, Kimura Y, Blom NA, Man S, Jongbloed MRM, Zeppenfeld K, Zeppenfeld K
Aims: Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) have an increased risk of ventricular tachycardia (VT), with slow conducting anatomical isthmus (SCAI) 3 as dominant VT substrate. In patients with right bundle branch block (RBBB), SCAI 3 leads to local activation delay with a shift of terminal RV activation towards the lateral RV outflow tract which may be detected by terminal QRS vector changes on sinus rhythm electrocardiogram (ECG). Methods and results: Consecutive rTOF patients aged ≥...

Oncolytic virus therapy has shown activity against primary melanomas; however, its efficacy in brain metastases remains challenging, mainly because of the delivery and immunosuppressive nature of tumors in the brain. To address this challenge, we first established PTEN-deficient melanoma brain metastasis mouse models and characterized them to be more immunosuppressive compared with primary melanoma, mimicking the clinical settings. Next, we developed an allogeneic twin stem cell (TSC) system com...
