Percutaneous Decannulation of Femoral Venoarterial ECMO Cannulas Using MANTA Vascular Closure Device.
Montero-Cabezas JM, van der Meer RW, van der Kley F, Elzo Kraemer CV, López Matta JE, Schalij MJ, de Weger A
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been increasingly used in the treatment of refractory cardiac arrest and postarrest cardiogenic shock. We propose a technique for percutaneous decannulation of femoral venoarterial ECMO cannulas by using the MANTA vascular closure device, designed to close large-bore arteriotomies. This technique significantly simplifies the decannulation and might diminish the potential complications caused by the standard surgical removal.

Linking childhood emotional abuse and depressive symptoms: The role of emotion dysregulation and interpersonal problems.
Christ C, de Waal MM, Dekker JJM, van Kuijk I, van Schaik DJF, Kikkert MJ, Goudriaan AE, Beekman ATF, Messman-Moore TL
Childhood abuse is a major public health problem that has been linked to depression in adulthood. Although different types of childhood abuse often co-occur, few studies have examined their unique impact on negative mental health outcomes. Most studies have focused solely on the consequences of childhood physical or sexual abuse; however, it has been suggested that childhood emotional abuse is more strongly related to depression. It remains unclear which underlying psychological processes mediat...

A novel isoform of myosin 18A (Myo18Aγ) is an essential sarcomeric protein in mouse heart.
Horsthemke M, Nutter LMJ, Bachg AC, Skryabin BV, Honnert U, Zobel T, Bogdan S, Stoll M, Seidl MD, Müller FU, Ravens U, Unger A, Linke WA, van Gorp PRR, de Vries AAF, Bähler M, Hanley PJ
Whereas myosin 18B (Myo18B) is known to be a critical sarcomeric protein, the function of myosin 18A (Myo18A) is unclear, although it has been implicated in cell motility and Golgi shape. Here, we show that homozygous deletion (homozygous tm1a, tm1b, or tm1d alleles) of Myo18a in mouse is embryonic lethal. Reminiscent of Myo18b, Myo18a was highly expressed in the embryo heart, and cardiac-restricted Myo18a deletion in mice was embryonic lethal. Surprisingly, using Western blot analysis, we were...

Parathyroidectomy versus cinacalcet for tertiary hyperparathyroidism; a retrospective analysis.
Dulfer RR, Koh EY, van der Plas WY, Engelsman AF, van Dijkum EJMN, Pol RA, Vogt L, de Borst MH, Kruijff S, Schepers A, Appelman-Dijkstra NM, Rotmans JI, Hesselink DA, van Eijck CHJ, Hoorn EJ, van Ginhoven TM, Dutch Hyperparathyroid Study Group
Introduction: Tertiary hyperparathyroidism (tHPT), i.e., persistent HPT after kidney transplantation, affects 17-50% of transplant recipients. Treatment of tHPT is mandatory since persistently elevated PTH concentrations after KTx increase the risk of renal allograft dysfunction and osteoporosis. The introduction of cinacalcet in 2004 seemed to offer a medical treatment alternative to parathyroidectomy (PTx). However, the optimal management of tHPT remains unclear. Methods: A retrospective analy...

Putting post-decision wagering to the test: a measure of self-perceived knowledge in basic sciences?
Versteeg M, Steendijk P
Introduction: Students learn more effectively when they know what they do not know. Gaining insight into students' metacognitive awareness is needed as misalignment between actual and self-perceived knowledge impedes their learning process. The optimal method of measuring self-perceived knowledge is still under debate. In this study, we evaluate the use of psychology-derived post-decision wagering for mapping students self-perceived knowledge. Methods: Students (n = 71) performed a pre-test...
