Measurement of perception thresholds for electrical noise stimuli.
Karpul D, McIntyre S, van Schaik A, Breen PP
In previous research, the application of sub-threshold electrical nerve stimulation (SENS) to peripheral nerves has been shown to improve tactile sensitivity. SENS has applications in the symptomatic treatment of a wide array of conditions that result in the loss of peripheral nerve function. These include diabetes, stroke, and age related peripheral neuropathy. The technology is dependent on careful control of the amplitude of the intervention stimulation relative to the user's perception...

Analgesia and Opioids: A Pharmacogenetics Shortlist for Implementation in Clinical Practice.
Matic M, de Wildt SN, Tibboel D, van Schaik RHN
Background: The use of opioids to alleviate pain is complicated by the risk of severe adverse events and the large variability in dose requirements. Pharmacogenetics (PGx) could possibly be used to tailor pain medication based on an individual's genetic background. Many potential genetic markers have been described, and the importance of genetic predisposition in opioid efficacy and toxicity has been demonstrated in knockout mouse models and human twin studies. Such predictors are especiall...

Inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction: A vicious circle in neurodegenerative disorders?
van Horssen J, van Schaik P, Witte M
Experimental evidence supports an intricate association between inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction as main contributors of neurological diseases. Inflammatory mediators produced by activated microglia and infiltrated immune cells trigger intracellular signalling cascades that can alter cellular mitochondrial metabolism. Cytokines, particularly tumor necrosis factor-alpha, impede mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and associated ATP production and instigate mitochondrial reactive oxy...

Chronic use of low-dose aspirin is not associated with lower bone mineral density in the general population.
Bonten TN, de Mutsert R, Rosendaal FR, Jukema JW, van der Bom JG, de Jongh RT, den Heijer M
Background: Low-dose aspirin is the cornerstone of secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Previous studies suggested that the use of aspirin is associated with an increased fracture risk. However, there is uncertainty whether this is due to an effect of aspirin on bone mineral density (BMD). Methods: Between 2008 and 2012, information on medication use and dual X-ray absorptiometry measured vertebral and femoral BMD of 916 participants was collected in the Netherland Epidemiology of Obe...

Effectiveness of Supported Self-Help in Recurrent Depression: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Primary Care.
Biesheuvel-Leliefeld KEM, Dijkstra-Kersten SMA, van Schaik DJF, van Marwijk HWJ, Smit F, van der Horst HE, Bockting CLH
Background: The burden and economic consequences of depression are high, mostly due to its recurrent nature. Due to current budget and time restraints, a preventive, low- cost, accessible minimal intervention is much needed. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of a supported self-help preventive cognitive therapy (S-PCT) added to treatment as usual (TAU) in primary care, compared to TAU alone. Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled trial among 248 patients with a history of depr...

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging to assess myocardial fibrosis in valvular heart disease.
Podlesnikar T, Delgado V, Bax JJ
The left ventricular (LV) remodeling process associated with significant valvular heart disease (VHD) is characterized by an increase of myocardial interstitial space with deposition of collagen and loss of myofibers. These changes occur before LV systolic function deteriorates or the patient develops symptoms. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) permits assessment of reactive fibrosis, with the use of T1 mapping techniques, and replacement fibrosis, with the use of late gadolinium contrast...
