Unipolar voltage mapping in right ventricular cardiomyopathy: pitfalls, solutions and advantages.
Hoogendoorn JC, Venlet J, de Riva M, Wijnmaalen AP, Piers SRD, Zeppenfeld K, Zeppenfeld K
Aims: Endocardial unipolar and bipolar voltage mapping (UVM/BVM) of the right ventricle (RV) are used for transmural substrate delineation. However, far-field electrograms (EGMs) and EGM changes due to injury current may influence automatically generated UVM. Epicardial BVM is considered less accurate due to the impact of fat thickness (FT). Data on epicardial UVM are sparse. The aim of the study is two-fold: to assess the influence of the manually corrected window-of-interest on UVM and the pot...

Marcus GM, Rosenthal DG, Nah G, Vittinghoff E, Fang C, Ogomori K, Joyce S, Yilmaz D, Yang V, Kessedjian T, Wilson E, Yang M, Chang K, Wall G, Olgin JE
Background: Coffee is one of the most commonly consumed beverages in the world, but the acute health effects of coffee consumption remain uncertain. Methods: We conducted a prospective, randomized, case-crossover trial to examine the effects of caffeinated coffee on cardiac ectopy and arrhythmias, daily step counts, sleep minutes, and serum glucose levels. A total of 100 adults were fitted with a continuously recording electrocardiogram device, a wrist-worn accelerometer, and a continuous glucos...

Factors influencing post-surgical survival in degenerative mitral regurgitation.
Butcher SC, Essayagh B, Steyerberg EW, Benfari G, Antoine C, Grigioni F, Le Tourneau T, Roussel JC, van Wijngaarden A, Marsan NA, Tribouilloy C, Rusinaru D, Hochstadt A, Topilsky Y, Michelena HI, Delgado V, Bax JJ, Enriquez-Sarano M
Aims: Indications for surgery in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) are increasingly liberal in all clinical guidelines but the role of secondary outcome determinants (left atrial volume index ≥60 mL/m2, atrial fibrillation, pulmonary artery systolic pressure ≥50 mmHg and moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation) and their impact on post-operative outcome remain disputed. Whether these secondary outcome markers are just reflective of the DMR severity or intrinsically affect...

Groeneveld L, den Braver NR, Beulens JWJ, van der Heijden AA, van der Reep AC, Remmelzwaal S, Elders PJM, Rutters F
Study objectives: We investigated the prevalence of self-reported insomnia symptoms in people with type 2 diabetes and assessed the association with metabolic outcomes and the mediating role of lifestyle factors. Methods: In a prospective cohort of 1,272 participants with type 2 diabetes (63.4% male, age 68.7 ± 9 years) we measured insomnia symptoms using the Insomnia Severity Index and metabolic outcomes as hemoglobin A1c, glucose, lipids, and body mass index at baseline and at 1 year follow-up...

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, various severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 variants have been identified with different characteristics than the nonvariant strain. We retrospectively evaluated the demographic and clinical differences in the cohort of hospitalized COVID-19 children (1 month-18 years old) between March 11, 2020, and September 31, 2022, by the time the variants identified in our country predominate. Bonferroni post hoc analysis was performed to compare the differenc...

Release of Ammunition-Related Compounds from a Dutch Marine Dump Site.
den Otter JH, Pröfrock D, Bünning TH, Strehse JS, van der Heijden AEDM, Maser E
After World War II, large amounts of ammunition were dumped in surface waters worldwide, potentially releasing harmful and toxic compounds to the environment. To study their degradation, ammunition items dumped in the Eastern Scheldt in The Netherlands were surfaced. Severe damage due to corrosion and leak paths through the casings were observed, making the explosives in the ammunition accessible to sea water. Using novel techniques, the concentrations of ammunition-related compounds in the surr...

Extended parental provisioning and variation in vertebrate brain sizes.
van Schaik CP, Song Z, Schuppli C, Drobniak SM, Heldstab SA, Griesser M
Large brains provide adaptive cognitive benefits but require unusually high, near-constant energy inputs and become fully functional well after their growth is completed. Consequently, young of most larger-brained endotherms should not be able to independently support the growth and development of their own brains. This paradox is solved if the evolution of extended parental provisioning facilitated brain size evolution. Comparative studies indeed show that extended parental provisioning coevolv...

Non-Infectious Uveitis Secondary to Dupilumab Treatment in Atopic Dermatitis Patients Shows a Pro-Inflammatory Molecular Profile.
Achten R, van Luijk C, Thijs J, Drylewicz J, Delemarre E, Nierkens S, Bakker D, van Wijk F, de Graaf M, de Bruin-Weller M, de Boer J, Kuiper J
Severe uveitis is a rare complication of interleukin-4 receptor alpha blocking by dupilumab in topic dermatitis (AD) patients. The aim of this study was to describe five moderate-to-severe AD patients who developed uveitis during dupilumab treatment and to compare the proteomic profile of aqueous humor (AqH) of dupilumab-associated uveitis (n=3/5 available samples) with non-infectious uveitis (n=27) and cataract controls (n=11). Included patients were treated at the University Medical Center Utr...

Put your money where your feet are: The real-world effects of StepBet gamified deposit contracts for physical activity.
de Buisonjé DR, Brosig F, Breeman LD, Bloom EL, Reijnders T, Janssen VR, Kraaijenhagen RA, Kemps HMC, Evers AWM
Background: Gamification and deposit contracts (a financial incentive in which participants pledge their own money) can enhance effectiveness of mobile behavior change interventions. However, to assess their potential for improving population health, research should investigate implementation of gamified deposit contracts outside the research setting. Therefore, we analyzed data from StepBet, a smartphone application originally developed by WayBetter, Inc. Objective: To perform a naturalistic ev...

Feasibility of Community Pharmacist-Initiated and Point-of-Care <i>CYP2C19</i> Genotype-Guided De-Escalation of Oral P2Y12 Inhibitors.
Levens AD, den Haan MC, Jukema JW, Heringa M, van den Hout WB, Moes DJAR, Swen JJ
Tailoring antiplatelet therapy based on CYP2C19 pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing can improve cardiovascular outcomes and potentially reduce healthcare costs in patients on a P2Y12-inhibitor regime with prasugrel or ticagrelor. However, ubiquitous adoption-particularly in an outpatient setting-remains limited. We conducted a proof-of-concept study to evaluate the feasibility of CYP2C19-guided de-escalation of prasugrel/ticagrelor to clopidogrel through point-of-care (POC) PGx testing in the communit...

Validity of Routinely Reported Rutherford Scores Reported by Clinicians as Part of Daily Clinical Practice.
van der Heijden LLM, Marang-van de Mheen PJ, Thielman L, Stijnen P, Hamming JF, Fourneau I
Routinely reported structured data from the electronic health record (EHR) are frequently used for secondary purposes. However, it is unknown how valid routinely reported data are for reuse. This study aimed to assess the validity of routinely reported Rutherford scores by clinicians as an indicator for the validity of structured data in the EHR. This observational study compared clinician-reported Rutherford scores with medical record review Rutherford scores for all visits at the vascular surg...

Genetic analysis of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) in vaccinated poultry populations over a period of 10 years.
Vermeulen CJ, Dijkman R, de Wit JJS, Bosch BJ, Heesterbeek JAPH, van Schaik G
Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is an avian pathogen from the Coronavirus family causing major health issues in poultry flocks worldwide. Because of its negative impact on health, performance, and bird welfare, commercial poultry are routinely vaccinated by administering live attenuated virus. However, field strains are capable of rapid adaptation and may evade vaccine-induced immunity. We set out to describe dynamics within and between lineages and assess potential escape from vaccine-induced...

Prognostic impact of left ventricular global longitudinal strain in atrial mitral regurgitation.
Meucci MC, Stassen J, Tomsic A, Palmen M, Crea F, Bax JJ, Ajmone Marsan N, Delgado V
Objective: Left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) mechanics are impaired in patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR), but their prognostic value in this subset of patients remains unknown. The present study aimed to evaluate the association between LA and LV longitudinal strain and clinical outcomes in patients with AFMR. Methods: A total of 197 patients (mean age 73±10 years, 44% men) with at least moderate AFMR were retrospectively identified. LV global longitudinal stra...
