Norovirus outbreak in a natural playground: A One Health approach.
Sips GJ, Dirven MJG, Donkervoort JT, van Kolfschoten FM, Schapendonk CME, Phan MVT, Bloem A, van Leeuwen AF, Trompenaars ME, Koopmans MPG, van der Eijk AA, de Graaf M, Fanoy EB
Norovirus constitutes the most frequently identified infectious cause of disease outbreaks associated with untreated recreational water. When investigating outbreaks related to surface water, a One Health approach is insightful. Historically, there has been a focus on potential contamination of recreational water by bird droppings and a recent publication demonstrating human noroviruses in bird faeces suggested this should be investigated in future water-related norovirus outbreaks. Here, we des...

Prognostic Value of Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain in Patients With Secondary Mitral Regurgitation.
Namazi F, van der Bijl P, Hirasawa K, Kamperidis V, van Wijngaarden SE, Mertens B, Leon MB, Hahn RT, Stone GW, Narula J, Ajmone Marsan N, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Background: Left ventricular (LV) systolic function may be overestimated in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) when using LV ejection fraction (EF). LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a less load-dependent measure of LV function. However, the prognostic value of LV GLS in secondary MR has not been evaluated. Objectives: This study sought to demonstrate the prognostic value of LV GLS over LVEF in patients with secondary MR. Methods: A total of 650 patients (mean 66 ± 11 years o...

Prolonged Hyperoxygenation Treatment Improves Vein Graft Patency and Decreases Macrophage Content in Atherosclerotic Lesions in ApoE3*Leiden Mice.
Parma L, Peters HAB, Baganha F, Sluimer JC, de Vries MR, Quax PHA
Unstable atherosclerotic plaques frequently show plaque angiogenesis which increases the chance of rupture and thrombus formation leading to infarctions. Hypoxia plays a role in angiogenesis and inflammation, two processes involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. We aim to study the effect of resolution of hypoxia using carbogen gas (95% O2, 5% CO2) on the remodeling of vein graft accelerated atherosclerotic lesions in ApoE3*Leiden mice which harbor plaque angiogenesis. Single treatment...

Short-term preoperative protein restriction attenuates vein graft disease via induction of cystathionine γ-lyase.
Trocha KM, Kip P, Tao M, MacArthur MR, Treviño-Villarreal JH, Longchamp A, Toussaint W, Lambrecht BN, de Vries MR, Quax PHA, Mitchell JR, Ozaki CK
Aims: Therapies to prevent vein graft disease, a major problem in cardiovascular and lower extremity bypass surgeries, are currently lacking. Short-term preoperative protein restriction holds promise as an effective preconditioning method against surgical stress in rodent models, but whether it can improve vein graft patency after bypass surgery is undetermined. Here, we hypothesized that short-term protein restriction would limit vein graft disease via up-regulation of cystathionine γ-lyase and...

The proarrhythmic features of pathological cardiac hypertrophy in neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocyte cultures.
Neshati Z, Schalij MJ, de Vries AAF
Different factors may trigger arrhythmias in diseased hearts, including fibrosis, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, hypoxia, and inflammation. This makes it difficult to establish the relative contribution of each of them to the occurrence of arrhythmias. Accordingly, in this study, we used an in vitro model of pathological cardiac hypertrophy (PCH) to investigate its proarrhythmic features and the underlying mechanisms independent of fibrosis or other PCH-related processes. Neonatal rat ventricular ca...

The association between leptin concentration and blood coagulation: Results from the NEO study.
Buis DTP, Christen T, Smit RAJ, de Mutsert R, Jukema JW, Cannegieter SC, Lijfering WM, Rosendaal FR
Background: The adipocyte-derived hormone leptin has been associated with altered blood coagulation in in vitro studies. However, it is unclear whether this association is relevant in vivo and to what extent this association is influenced by total body fat. Therefore, we aimed to examine the association between serum leptin and blood coagulation while taking total body fat into account in a population-based cohort study. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis with baseline measurements...
