Successful Growth Hormone Therapy in Cornelia de Lange Syndrome.
de Graaf M, Kant SG, Wit JM, Willem Redeker EJ, Eduard Santen GW, Henriëtta Verkerk AJM, Uitterlinden AG, Losekoot M, Oostdijk W
Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a both clinically and genetically heterogeneous syndrome. In its classical form, it is characterised by distinctive facial features, intra-uterine growth retardation, short stature, developmental delay, and anomalies in multiple organ systems. NIPBL, SMC1A, SMC3, RAD21 and HDAC8, all involved in the cohesin pathway, have been identified to cause CdLS. Growth hormone (GH) secretion has been reported as normal, and to our knowledge, there are no reports on the...

Value of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Noninvasive Risk Stratification in Tetralogy of Fallot.
Bokma JP, de Wilde KC, Vliegen HW, van Dijk AP, van Melle JP, Meijboom FJ, Zwinderman AH, Groenink M, Mulder BJM, Bouma BJ
Importance: Adults late after total correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) are at risk for major complications. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is recommended to quantify right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) function. However, a commonly used risk model by Khairy et al requires invasive investigations and lacks CMR imaging to identify high-risk patients. Objective: To implement CMR imaging in noninvasive risk stratification to predict major adverse clinical outcomes....

Identifying error types in visual diagnostic skill assessment.
Ravesloot CJ, van der Gijp A, van der Schaaf MF, Huige JCBM, Ten Cate O, Vincken KL, Mol CP, van Schaik JPJ
Background: Misinterpretation of medical images is an important source of diagnostic error. Errors can occur in different phases of the diagnostic process. Insight in the error types made by learners is crucial for training and giving effective feedback. Most diagnostic skill tests however penalize diagnostic mistakes without an eye for the diagnostic process and the type of error. A radiology test with stepwise reasoning questions was used to distinguish error types in the visual diagnostic pro...

Evidence generated from randomized controlled trials forms the foundation of cardiovascular therapeutics and has led to the adoption of numerous drugs and devices that prolong survival and reduce morbidity, as well as the avoidance of interventions that have been shown to be ineffective or even unsafe. Many aspects of cardiovascular research have evolved considerably since the first randomized trials in cardiology were conducted. In order to be large enough to provide reliable evidence about eff...
