Non-surgical intervention for retroperitoneal lymphogenic and pulmonary metastases of a benign leiomyoma: treatment with ulipristal acetate.
Kortekaas KE, Pelikan HMP
This case report describes a very rare coexistence of retroperitoneal lymphogenic and pulmonary metastases of a benign leiomyoma: benign metastasising leiomyoma (BML). Despite surgical treatment growth of multiple nodules in the lungs, omentum, mesenterium and retroperitoneum was observed by CT scan. We started off-label ulipristal acetate treatment with impressive results. The lesions on the CT scan disappeared, and the patient was asymptomatic after treatment.

Implementation of smart technology to improve medication adherence in patients with cardiovascular disease: is it effective?
Treskes RW, Van der Velde ET, Schoones JW, Schalij MJ
Introduction: Medication adherence is of key importance in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Studies consistently show that a substantial proportion of patients is non-adherent. Areas covered: For this review, telemedicine solutions that can potentially improve medication adherence in patients with cardiovascular disease were reviewed. A total of 475 PubMed papers were reviewed, of which 74 were assessed. Expert commentary: Papers showed that evidence regarding telemedicine solutions is m...

Supervised preoperative forearm exercise to increase blood vessel diameter in patients requiring an arteriovenous access for hemodialysis: rationale and design of the PINCH trial.
Wilschut ED, Rotmans JI, Bos EJ, van Zoest D, Eefting D, Hamming JF, van der Bogt KEA
Background: Failure of maturation occurs in 30%-60% of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation for hemodialysis, with highest rates in distal radiocephalic fistulas. This is partly due to initial small blood vessel size with limited blood flow capacity. Forearm exercise has shown potential as stimulus for increasing blood vessel size in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and may promote maturation of AVFs in the upper limb when applied postoperatively. However, it is unknown if forearm ex...

Background: QT interval, measured through a standard ECG, captures the time it takes for the cardiac ventricles to depolarize and repolarize. JT interval is the component of the QT interval that reflects ventricular repolarization alone. Prolonged QT interval has been linked to higher risk of sudden cardiac arrest. Methods and results: We performed an ExomeChip-wide analysis for both QT and JT intervals, including 209 449 variants, both common and rare, in 17 341 genes from the Illumina Infinium...

[The (un)predictability of coronary atherosclerosis].
Elffers TW, Jukema JW
Coronary atherosclerosis is a common disease. The plaques developing inside coronary vessels may have serious consequences such as myocardial infarction. However, the course of this multifactorial and heterogeneous disease is difficult to predict and is different for each patient. Atherosclerosis is often described as a gradually progressive disease, but in addition to slow progression, a certain periodicity is often seen. There may be periods with more stability and periods of regression. Sever...

The Effect of Ascorbic Acid over the Etoposide- and Temozolomide-Mediated Cytotoxicity in Glioblastoma Cell Culture: A Molecular Study.
Gokturk D, Kelebek H, Ceylan S, Yilmaz DM
Aim: Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the lethal central nervous system tumors. One of the widely used chemical agents for the treatment of glioblastoma is temozolomide. It is an orally administered, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) alkylating agent. DNA alkylation triggers the death of tumor cells. However, some tumor cells are able to repair this type of DNA damage and thus lower the therapeutic effect of temozolomide. Laboratory and clinical studies indicate that temozolomide"s anticancer effects...

Aim: To determine the microbiological etiology in critically ill neurosurgical patients with nosocomial meningitis (NM) and to show the impact of Gram-negative rods and the differences between patient characteristics and the clinical and prognostic measures in Gram-negative and Gram-positive meningitis. Material and methods: In this prospective, single-center study, we reviewed all adult patients hospitalized during a 12-year period and identified pathogens isolated from post-neurosurgical cases...

Yilmaz DM, Haciyakupoglu E, Diril S, Sencar L, Akgul E, Polat S, Haciyakupoglu S, Nazlican E
Aim: To examine morphological, radiological and biochemical effects of arginine vasopressin (AV) and V1 receptor antagonist on cerebral vasospasm (CVS) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in rabbits. Material and methods: Forty male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into four groups comprising 10 rabbits each. The groups were; 1) Control group, 2) SAH group, 3) SAH+AV group, 4) SAH+V1 antagonist group. Diameters of the basilar artery in all groups were measured on angiograms. All a...

Nationwide claims data validated for quality assessments in acute myocardial infarction in the Netherlands.
Eindhoven DC, van Staveren LN, van Erkelens JA, Ikkersheim DE, Cannegieter SC, Umans VAWM, Mosterd A, van Wijngaarden J, Schalij MJ, Borleffs CJW
Introduction: Since health insurance is compulsory in the Netherlands, the centrally registered medical claims data might pose a unique opportunity to evaluate quality of (cardiac) care on a national level without additional collection of data. However, validation of these claims data has not yet been assessed. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Methods: National claims data ('national registry') were compared with data collected by patient records reviews in four representative hospi...

Effects of Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair With MitraClip on Left Ventricular and Atrial Hemodynamic Load and Myocardial Wall Stress.
van Wijngaarden SE, Kamperidis V, Al-Amri I, van der Kley F, Schalij MJ, Ajmone Marsan N, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Aims: To evaluate the effects of MitraClip on left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) myocardial wall stress as assessed with the use of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and strain imaging. Methods and results: Sixty-five patients with symptomatic moderate and severe mitral regurgitation (MR; age 75 ± 9 y, 57% male, 89% functional MR) treated with the use of MitraClip were evaluated. Patients were divided according to 6-month NT-proBNP tertiles. Changes in echocardiograph...

Adenosine-to-Inosine Editing of MicroRNA-487b Alters Target Gene Selection After Ischemia and Promotes Neovascularization.
van der Kwast RVCT, van Ingen E, Parma L, Peters HAB, Quax PHA, Nossent AY
Rationale: Adenosine-to-inosine editing of microRNAs has the potential to cause a shift in target site selection. 2'-O-ribose-methylation of adenosine residues, however, has been shown to inhibit adenosine-to-inosine editing. Objective: To investigate whether angiomiR miR487b is subject to adenosine-to-inosine editing or 2'-O-ribose-methylation during neovascularization. Methods and results: Complementary DNA was prepared from C57BL/6-mice subjected to hindlimb ischemia. Using Sanger s...

MUSCLEMOTION: A Versatile Open Software Tool to Quantify Cardiomyocyte and Cardiac Muscle Contraction In Vitro and In Vivo.
Sala L, van Meer BJ, Tertoolen LGJ, Bakkers J, Bellin M, Davis RP, Denning C, Dieben MAE, Eschenhagen T, Giacomelli E, Grandela C, Hansen A, Holman ER, Jongbloed MRM, Kamel SM, Koopman CD, Lachaud Q, Mannhardt I, Mol MPH, Mosqueira D, Orlova VV, Passier R, Ribeiro MC, Saleem U, Smith GL, Burton FL, Mummery CL
Rationale: There are several methods to measure cardiomyocyte and muscle contraction, but these require customized hardware, expensive apparatus, and advanced informatics or can only be used in single experimental models. Consequently, data and techniques have been difficult to reproduce across models and laboratories, analysis is time consuming, and only specialist researchers can quantify data. Objective: Here, we describe and validate an automated, open-source software tool (MUSCLEMOTION) ada...
