Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.), Volume 93, 29 5 2021, Pages 111440 Associations of metabolomic profiles with circulating vitamin E and urinary vitamin E metabolites in middle-aged individuals. Luo J, Hashimoto Y, Martens LG, Meulmeester FL, Ashrafi N, Mook-Kanamori DO, Rosendaal FR, Jukema JW, van Dijk KW, Mills K, le Cessie S, Noordam R, van Heemst D

Vitamin E (α-tocopherol [α-TOH]) is transported in lipoprotein particles in blood, but little is known about the transportation of its oxidized metabolites. In the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity Study, we aimed to investigate the associations of 147 circulating metabolomic measures obtained through targeted nuclear magnetic resonance with serum α-TOH and its urinary enzymatic (α-CEHC) and oxidized (α-TLHQ) metabolites from 24-h urine quantified by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spec...

Vascular, Volume 30, Issue 5, 28 4 2021, Pages 867-873 Near-infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green for quantification of changes in tissue perfusion following revascularization. Van den Hoven P, S Weller F, Van De Bent M, Goncalves LN, Ruig M, D Van Den Berg S, Ooms S, Mieog J, Ea Van De Bogt K, Van Schaik J, Schepers A, Vahrmeijer AL, Hamming JF, Van Der Vorst JR

Objectives: Current diagnostic modalities for patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) mainly focus on the macrovascular level. For assessment of tissue perfusion, near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) seems promising. In this prospective cohort study, ICG NIR fluorescence imaging was performed pre- and post-revascularization to assess changes in foot perfusion. Methods: ICG NIR fluorescence imaging was performed in 36 patients with PAD pre- and post-interve... Abstract

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for mortality. The prevalence, clinical correlates, and prognostic impact of AF in Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) have not yet been investigated in a large patient cohort. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, clinical correlates, and prognostic impact of AF in patients with TTS. Methods and Results Patients with TTS were enrolled from the International Takotsubo Registry, which is a multinational network with 26 participating center... Abstract

The international journal of cardiovascular imaging, Volume 38, Issue 1, 25 4 2021, Pages 183-193 Estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) as a potential gatekeeper for MRI-assessed PWV: a linear and deep neural network based approach in 2254 participants of the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity study. van Hout MJ, Dekkers IA, Lin L, Westenberg JJ, Schalij MJ, Jukema JW, Widya RL, Boone SC, de Mutsert R, Rosendaal FR, Scholte AJ, Lamb HJ

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a prognostic marker for cardiovascular events. Prediction modelling could enable indirect PWV assessment based on clinical and anthropometric data. The aim was to calculate estimated-PWV (ePWV) based on clinical and anthropometric measures using linear ridge regression as well as a Deep Neural Network (DNN) and to determine the cut-off which provides optimal discriminative performance between lower and higher PWV values.

This International Consensus Classification and Nomenclature for the congenital bicuspid aortic valve condition recognizes 3 types of bicuspid valves: 1. The fused type (right-left cusp fusion, right-non-coronary cusp fusion and left-non-coronary cusp fusion phenotypes); 2. The 2-sinus type (latero-lateral and antero-posterior phenotypes); and 3. The partial-fusion (forme fruste) type. The presence of raphe and the symmetry of the fused type phenotypes are critical aspects to describe. The Inter... Abstract

Kang-Yun CS, Liang X, Dershwitz P, Gu W, Schepers A, Flatley A, Lichtmannegger J, Zischka H, Zhang L, Lu X, Gu B, Ledesma JC, Pelger DJ, DiSpirito AA, Semrau JD

Aerobic methanotrophy is strongly controlled by copper, and methanotrophs are known to use different mechanisms for copper uptake. Some methanotrophs secrete a modified polypeptide-methanobactin-while others utilize a surface-bound protein (MopE) and a secreted form of it (MopE*) for copper collection. As different methanotrophs have different means of sequestering copper, competition for copper significantly impacts methanotrophic activity. Herein, we show that Methylomicrobium album BG8, Methy...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. For many years guidelines have listed optimal preventive therapy. More recently, novel therapeutic options have broadened the options for state-of-the-art CV risk management (CVRM). In the majority of patients with CVD, risk lowering can be achieved by utilising standard preventive medication combined with lifestyle modifications. In a minority of patients, add-on therapies should be considered to further reduce... Abstract

Introduction: Brucella is a genus of aerobic Gram negative bacteria that causes the disease brucellosis. It is considered a zoonotic infection transmitted to humans by ingestion of unpasteurised dairy products. Although aortic involvement is rarely seen, it can be a life threatening complication of this disease.

T cells are among the most common cell types present in atherosclerotic plaques and are increasingly being recognized as a central mediator in atherosclerosis development and progression. At the same time, triglycerides and fatty acids have re-emerged as crucial risk factors for atherosclerosis. Triglycerides and fatty acids are important components of the milieu to which the T cell is exposed from the circulation to the plaque, and increasing evidence shows that fatty acids influence T cell fun...
