Ventricular TLR4 Levels Abrogate TLR2-Mediated Adverse Cardiac Remodeling upon Pressure Overload in Mice.
Kessler EL, Wang JW, Kok B, Brans MA, Nederlof A, van Stuijvenberg L, Huang C, Vink A, Arslan F, Efimov IR, Lam CSP, Vos MA, de Kleijn DPV, Fontes MSC, van Veen TAB
Involvement of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in maladaptive cardiac remodeling and heart failure (HF) upon pressure overload has been studied extensively, but less is known about the role of TLR2. Interplay and redundancy of TLR4 with TLR2 have been reported in other organs but were not investigated during cardiac dysfunction. We explored whether TLR2 deficiency leads to less adverse cardiac remodeling upon chronic pressure overload and whether TLR2 and TLR4 additively contribute to this. We s...

Value of Global Longitudinal Strain for Identification and Monitoring of Left Ventricular Dysfunction in Becker Muscular Dystrophy.
van de Velde NM, Gegenava T, Koeks Z, Butcher SC, Roest AA, Bax JJ, Atsma DE, Spitali P, Ajmone Marsan N, Niks EH
Cardiac involvement is the main cause of death in Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). Identification of left ventricular (LV) function is crucial, but standard echocardiographic measurements such as LV ejection fraction (LVEF) might not be sensitive enough to detect early myocardial dysfunction. We explored the value of LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) as a more accurate echocardiographic parameter to detect and monitor LV dysfunction in BMD. Furthermore, we studied possible factors associated w...

Cardiac computed tomography-derived coronary artery volume to myocardial mass.
Ihdayhid AR, Fairbairn TA, Gulsin GS, Tzimas G, Danehy E, Updegrove A, Jensen JM, Taylor CA, Bax JJ, Sellers SL, Leipsic JA, Nørgaard BL
In the absence of disease impacting the coronary arteries or myocardium, there exists a linear relationship between vessel volume and myocardial mass to ensure balanced distribution of blood supply. This balance may be disturbed in diseases of either the coronary artery tree, the myocardium, or both. However, in contemporary evaluation the coronary artery anatomy and myocardium are assessed separately. Recently the coronary lumen volume to myocardial mass ratio (V/M), measured noninvasively usin...

Evaluation of High Cholesterol and Risk of Dementia and Cognitive Decline in Older Adults Using Individual Patient Meta-Analysis.
Peters R, Xu Y, Antikainen R, Beckett N, Gussekloo J, Jagger C, Jukema JW, Keinanen-Kiukaanniemi S, Rydén L, Skoog I, Staessen JA, Thijs L, Trompet S, Tully PJ, Tzourio C, Anstey KJ
Introduction: Although increased cholesterol level has been acknowledged as a risk factor for dementia, evidence synthesis based on published data has yielded mixed results. This is especially relevant in older adults where individual studies report non-linear relationships between cholesterol and cognition and, in some cases, find higher cholesterol associated with a lower risk of subsequent cognitive decline or dementia. Prior evidence synthesis based on published results has not allowed us to...

Multiple pathways towards achieving a living income for different types of smallholder tree-crop commodity farmers.
Waarts YR, Janssen V, Aryeetey R, Onduru D, Heriyanto D, Aprillya ST, N'Guessan A, Courbois L, Bakker D, Ingram VJ
Many sources indicate that smallholder tree-crop commodity farmers are poor, but there is a paucity of data on how many of them are poor and the depth of poverty. The living income concept establishes the net annual income required for a household in a place to afford a decent standard of living. Based on datasets on smallholder cocoa and tea farmers in Ghana, Ivory Coast and Kenya and literature, we conclude that a large proportion of such farmers do not have the potential to earn a living inco...

Ventricular Septation and Outflow Tract Development in Crocodilians Result in Two Aortas with Bicuspid Semilunar Valves.
Poelmann RE, Gittenberger-de Groot AC, Goerdajal C, Grewal N, De Bakker MAG, Richardson MK
Background: The outflow tract of crocodilians resembles that of birds and mammals as ventricular septation is complete. The arterial anatomy, however, presents with a pulmonary trunk originating from the right ventricular cavum, and two aortas originating from either the right or left ventricular cavity. Mixing of blood in crocodilians cannot occur at the ventricular level as in other reptiles but instead takes place at the aortic root level by a shunt, the foramen of Panizza, the opening of whi...

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...
