[Pulmonary embolism response teams: what is the added value for patients with acute pulmonary embolism?]
Huisman MV, Montero Cabezas JM, Klok FA
Adequate triaging of patients presenting with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is essential for appropriate treatment, especially for patients with severe PE. Optimal treatment for this latter group of patients includes pharmaco-mechanical reperfusion treatment for the minority of patients who present with haemodynamic instability, and standard anticoagulation and close monitoring on the ward for the intermediate-high risk patient. In the USA, pulmonary embolism response teams (PERT) have been intr...

Norovirus Infection in Harbor Porpoises.
de Graaf M, Bodewes R, van Elk CE, van de Bildt M, Getu S, Aron GI, Verjans GM, Osterhaus AD, van den Brand JM, Kuiken T, Koopmans MP
A norovirus was detected in harbor porpoises, a previously unknown host for norovirus. This norovirus had low similarity to any known norovirus. Viral RNA was detected primarily in intestinal tissue, and specific serum antibodies were detected in 8 (24%) of 34 harbor porpoises from the North Sea.

[Assessments during Medical Specialists Training: quantity or quality?]
Hamming JF
Structured assessments form a mandatory part of Dutch Medical Specialist Training, but create administrative workload for both the staff and supervisors. One could argue that the quality of the narrative feedback is more important than the extensive reporting in learning portfolios, and that the focus should be on continuous on-the-job coaching.

[How we can learn better and more safely from serious incidents; translation of 'Just Culture' and 'Safety-II' into clinical practice].
de Vos MS, den Dijker L, Hamming JF
After a serious incident, all involved expect it will provide an opportunity to learn and that improvements will follow. However, 'safe' learning is often threatened due to a primary focus on accountability. Focus should, instead, be on the needs of both patients and care providers, with the goal of repairing damage and restoring trust in the wider sense - a culture of justice ('Just Culture'). Common daily practice is a more realistic focus for further investigation, with ac...

[How does a surgeon decide that surgery is the best option?Assessing whether or not to operate].
Hamming JF, Marang-van de Mheen PJ
All abdominal surgical procedures have a certain risk/benefit ratio. Recently, the way surgeons come to a decision whether to operate, or not, was discussed in the Annals of Surgery. First, the assessment of the decision for an operative versus a non-operative strategy was addressed on the basis of clinical vignettes. The perceptions concerning risk/benefit balance varied considerably between surgeons and these perceptions predicted the decision to operate. In a second paper, surgeons were rando...

Regeer MV, Merkestein LR, de Weger A, Kamperidis V, van der Kley F, van Rosendael PJ, Marsan NA, Klautz RJ, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Aims: Conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR), sutureless AVR (su-AVR) and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for severe aortic stenosis (AS) are associated with conduction abnormalities. The aim of the present study was to assess the incidence of left bundle branch block (LBBB) after su-AVR and TAVI, in comparison to conventional AVR. Methods and results: A total of 501 patients (mean age 74±8 years, 53% male) without preoperative cardiac conduction disturbances who underwent AV...

Application and comparison of the FADES, MADIT, and SHFM-D risk models for risk stratification of prophylactic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator treatment.
van der Heijden AC, van Rees JB, Levy WC, van der Bom JG, Cannegieter SC, de Bie MK, van Erven L, Schalij MJ, Borleffs CJ
Aims: Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) treatment is beneficial in selected patients. However, it remains difficult to accurately predict which patients benefit most from ICD implantation. For this purpose, different risk models have been developed. The aim was to validate and compare the FADES, MADIT, and SHFM-D models. Methods and results: All patients receiving a prophylactic ICD at the Leiden University Medical Center were evaluated. Individual model performance was evaluated by C...

Future directions for studying the evolution of general intelligence.
Burkart JM, Schubiger MN, van Schaik CP
The goal of our target article was to lay out current evidence relevant to the question of whether general intelligence can be found in nonhuman animals in order to better understand its evolution in humans. The topic is a controversial one, as evident from the broad range of partly incompatible comments it has elicited. The main goal of our response is to translate these issues into testable empirical predictions, which together can provide the basis for a broad research agenda.

Challenges and opportunities for whole-genome sequencing-based surveillance of antibiotic resistance.
Schürch AC, van Schaik W
Infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria are increasingly reported across the planet, and drug-resistant bacteria are recognized to be a major threat to public health and modern medicine. In this review, we discuss how whole-genome sequencing (WGS)-based approaches can contribute to the surveillance of the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance. We outline the characteristics of sequencing technologies that are currently most used for WGS (Illumina short-read technologies and the long...

Background: Increased heart rate and a prolonged QT interval are important risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and can be influenced by the use of various medications, including tricyclic/tetracyclic antidepressants (TCAs). We aim to identify genetic loci that modify the association between TCA use and RR and QT intervals. Methods and results: We conducted race/ethnic-specific genome-wide interaction analyses (with HapMap phase II imputed reference panel imputation) of TCAs...

Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia in Congenital and Infiltrative Heart Disease.
Wijnmaalen AP, Zeppenfeld K
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is an important treatment modality to prevent ventricular tachycardia (VT) recurrence in patients with repaired congenital heart disease. Identification and ablation of anatomic isthmuses has improved acute ablation outcome with excellent VT-free survival in those with preserved biventricular function. Reports on RFCA for VT in patients with infiltrative disease are sparse and cardiac sarcoidosis seems to be the most prevalent cause for ventricular arrhyth...

Cohort profile of BIOMArCS: the BIOMarker study to identify the Acute risk of a Coronary Syndrome-a prospective multicentre biomarker study conducted in the Netherlands.
Oemrawsingh RM, Akkerhuis KM, Umans VA, Kietselaer B, Schotborgh C, Ronner E, Lenderink T, Liem A, Haitsma D, van der Harst P, Asselbergs FW, Maas A, Oude Ophuis AJ, Ilmer B, Dijkgraaf R, de Winter RJ, The SH, Wardeh AJ, Hermans W, Cramer E, van Schaik RH, Hoefer IE, Doevendans PA, Simoons ML, Boersma E
Purpose: Progression of stable coronary artery disease (CAD) towards acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a dynamic and heterogeneous process with many intertwined constituents, in which a plaque destabilising sequence could lead to ACS within short time frames. Current CAD risk assessment models, however, are not designed to identify increased vulnerability for the occurrence of coronary events within a precise, short time frame at the individual patient level. The BIOMarker study to identify the A...

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified loci for erythrocyte traits in primarily European ancestry populations. We conducted GWAS meta-analyses of six erythrocyte traits in 71,638 individuals from European, East Asian, and African ancestries using a Bayesian approach to account for heterogeneity in allelic effects and variation in the structure of linkage disequilibrium between ethnicities. We identified seven loci for erythrocyte traits including a locus (RBPMS/GTF2E2) associate...
