Fluorescence-guided surgery in colorectal cancer; A review on clinical results and future perspectives.
Galema HA, Meijer RPJ, Lauwerends LJ, Verhoef C, Burggraaf J, Vahrmeijer AL, Hutteman M, Keereweer S, Hilling DE
Background: Colorectal cancer is the fourth most diagnosed malignancy worldwide and surgery is one of the cornerstones of the treatment strategy. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging is a new and upcoming technique, which uses an NIR fluorescent agent combined with a specialised camera that can detect light in the NIR range. It aims for more precise surgery with improved oncological outcomes and a reduction in complications by improving discrimination between different structures. Methods: A...

Perfusion Patterns in Patients with Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia versus Control Patients Using Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging with Indocyanine Green.
Van Den Hoven P, Goncalves LN, Quax PHA, Van Rijswijk CSP, Van Schaik J, Schepers A, Vahrmeijer AL, Hamming JF, Van Der Vorst JR
In assessing the severity of lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD), physicians rely on clinical judgements supported by conventional measurements of macrovascular blood flow. However, current diagnostic techniques provide no information about regional tissue perfusion and are of limited value in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) has been used extensively in perfusion studies and is a possible modality...

A histopathological classification scheme for abdominal aortic aneurysm disease.
Bruijn LE, van Stroe Gómez CG, Curci JA, Golledge J, Hamming JF, Jones GT, Lee R, Matic L, van Rhijn C, Vriens PW, Wågsäter D, Xu B, Yamanouchi D, Lindeman JH
Objective: Two consensus histopathological classifications for thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) and inflammatory aortic diseases have been issued to facilitate clinical decision-making and inter-study comparison. However, these consensus classifications do not specifically encompass abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Given its high prevalence and the existing profound pathophysiologic knowledge gaps, extension of the consensus classification scheme to AAAs would be highly instrumental. The aim o...

Clinical and laboratory features of children with tremor: a single-center experience.
Kocaman GE, Ardıçlı D, Yılmaz D
Aim: Tremor is an involuntary, rhythmic, oscillatory movement of body parts around a central point or plane which arises from contraction of antagonist muscles. Evaluation of pediatric patients with tremor can be challenging due to limited population-based studies in children. The aim of this study is to evaluate the demographic, clinical and laboratory features of childhood tremor, retrospectively. Materials and methods: Patients under the age of 18 years presenting with tremor (n = 111) to the...

COVID-19 associated perimyocarditis.
van Driest FY, Fejzovic V, Scholte AJHA, Jukema JW, Lamb HJ
Perimyocarditis is a well-known acute inflammation of the pericardium and the underlying myocardium. Most commonly perimyocarditis is of viral aetiology, specifically the coxsackie B virus. However, nowadays SARS-CoV-2 associated with COVID-19 infections has emerged as a potential rare cause of perimyocarditis. This case report will demonstrate a case of a young female with perimyocarditis as diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) accompanied by antigens indicating a past COVID-19 infecti...

Aortic distensibility in Marfan syndrome: a potential predictor of aortic events?
van Andel MM, de Waard V, Timmermans J, Scholte AJHA, van den Berg MP, Zwinderman AH, Mulder BJM, Groenink M
Objectives: Patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) are prone to develop aortic aneurysms due to fragmentation of elastic fibres, resulting in reduced distensibility of the aorta. Reduced distensibility was previously shown to predict progressive descending aorta dilatation. Here, we investigated longitudinal changes in distensibility, as a potential predictor of aortic events. Methods: This retrospective study included all patients with MFS with at least four cardiac magnetic resonance examinations...

Memarian E, 't Hart LM, Slieker RC, Lemmers RFL, van der Heijden AA, Rutters F, Nijpels G, Schoep E, Lieverse AG, Sijbrands EJG, Wuhrer M, van Hoek M, Dotz V
Introduction: Although associations of total plasma N-glycome (TPNG) with type 2 diabetes have been reported, little is known on the role of TPNG in type 2 diabetes complications, a major cause of type 2 diabetes-related morbidity and mortality. Here, we assessed TPNG in relation to type 2 diabetes complications in subsamples of two Dutch cohorts using mass spectrometry (n=1815 in DiaGene and n=1518 in Hoorn Diabetes Care System). Research design and methods: Blood plasma samples and technical r...

Primary vulvar squamous cell carcinomas with high T cell infiltration and active immune signaling are potential candidates for neoadjuvant PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy.
Kortekaas KE, Santegoets SJ, Tas L, Ehsan I, Charoentong P, van Doorn HC, van Poelgeest MIE, Mustafa DAM, van der Burg SH
Background: A profound insight into the immune landscape of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) is lacking. Here, an in-depth interrogation of T cell infiltration, local immune contexture, signaling pathways and checkpoint molecule expression was performed in early-stage and late-stage VSCC. Methods: The type, location, and infiltration pattern of T cells were studied in 109 patients with primary VSCC FIGO stage I-III. RNA expression of genes involved in immune oncology and oncogenic signaling...

Optical Properties of Water for Prediction of Wastewater Contamination, Human-Associated Bacteria, and Fecal Indicator Bacteria in Surface Water at Three Watershed Scales.
Corsi SR, De Cicco LA, Hansen AM, Lenaker PL, Bergamaschi BA, Pellerin BA, Dila DK, Bootsma MJ, Spencer SK, Borchardt MA, McLellan SL
Relations between spectral absorbance and fluorescence properties of water and human-associated and fecal indicator bacteria were developed for facilitating field sensor applications to estimate wastewater contamination in waterways. Leaking wastewater conveyance infrastructure commonly contaminates receiving waters. Methods to quantify such contamination can be time consuming, expensive, and often nonspecific. Human-associated bacteria are wastewater specific but require discrete sampling and l...

No evidence for modulation of facial mimicry by attachment tendencies in adulthood: an EMG investigation.
Vacaru SV, van Schaik JE, Spiess L, Hunnius S
Mimicking another individual functions as a social glue: it smoothens the interaction and fosters affiliation. Here, we investigated whether the intrinsic motivation to affiliate with others, stemming from attachment relationships, modulates individuals' engagement in facial mimicry (FM). Participants (N = 100; MAge = 24.54 years, SDAge = 3.90 years) observed faces with happy, sad, and neutral expressions, while their facial muscle activity was recorded with electromyography. Attachment was...

Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester Loaded Electrospun Nanofibers for Wound Dressing Application.
Kaya S, Yilmaz DE, Akmayan I, Egri O, Arasoglu T, Derman S
Electrospinning is an advantageous method with a wide usage area, which enables the production of materials consisting of nano-thickness fibers. In this study, caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) molecule was loaded onto the poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanofibers and obtained nanofibers were physicochemically and biologically investigated for the first time in the literature. The existence of CAPE molecules, loaded on PLGA membranes by dropping and spraying methods, was evaluated by a c...
