When ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny: Fixed neurodevelopmental sequence of manipulative skills among primates.
Heldstab SA, Isler K, Schuppli C, van Schaik CP
Neural development is highly conserved across distantly related species of different brain sizes. Here, we show that the development of manipulative complexity is equally cumulative across 36 primate species and also that its ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny. Furthermore, larger-brained species reach their adult skill levels later than smaller-brained ones, largely because they start later with the simplest techniques. These findings demonstrate that these motor behaviors are not modular and tha...

An Internet-Based Psychological Intervention With a Serious Game to Improve Vitality, Psychological and Physical Condition, and Immune Function in Healthy Male Adults: Randomized Controlled Trial.
Schakel L, Veldhuijzen DS, van Middendorp H, Prins C, Drittij AMHF, Vrieling F, Visser LG, Ottenhoff THM, Joosten SA, Evers AWM
Background: Recently, internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) and serious gaming interventions have been suggested to enhance accessibility to interventions and engagement in psychological interventions that aim to promote health outcomes. Few studies, however, have investigated their effectiveness in the context of simulated real-life challenges. Objective: We aimed to examine the effectivity of a guided ICBT combined with a serious gaming intervention in improving self-reported psyc...

Let's talk action: Infant-directed speech facilitates infants' action learning.
Schreiner MS, van Schaik JE, Sučević J, Hunnius S, Meyer M
Parents modulate their speech and their actions during infant-directed interactions, and these modulations facilitate infants' language and action learning, respectively. But do these behaviors and their benefits cross these modality boundaries? We investigated mothers' infant-directed speech and actions while they demonstrated the action-effects of 4 novel objects to their 14-month-old infants. Mothers (N = 35) spent the majority of the time either speaking or demonstrating the to-be-...

Decades of overexploitation have devastated shark populations, leaving considerable doubt as to their ecological status1,2. Yet much of what is known about sharks has been inferred from catch records in industrial fisheries, whereas far less information is available about sharks that live in coastal habitats3. Here we address this knowledge gap using data from more than 15,000 standardized baited remote underwater video stations that were deployed on 371 reefs in 58 nations to estimate the conse...

Adenosine-to-Inosine Editing of Vasoactive MicroRNAs Alters Their Targetome and Function in Ischemia.
van der Kwast RVCT, Parma L, van der Bent ML, van Ingen E, Baganha F, Peters HAB, Goossens EAC, Simons KH, Palmen M, de Vries MR, Quax PHA, Nossent AY
Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing in the seed sequence of microRNAs can shift the microRNAs' targetomes and thus their function. Using public RNA-sequencing data, we identified 35 vasoactive microRNAs that are A-to-I edited. We quantified A-to-I editing of the primary (pri-)microRNAs in vascular fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Nine pri-microRNAs were indeed edited, and editing consistently increased under ischemia. We determined mature microRNA editing for the highest expressed micro...

Impact of self-imposed prevention measures and short-term government-imposed social distancing on mitigating and delaying a COVID-19 epidemic: A modelling study.
Teslya A, Pham TM, Godijk NG, Kretzschmar ME, Bootsma MCJ, Rozhnova G
Background: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread to nearly every country in the world since it first emerged in China in December 2019. Many countries have implemented social distancing as a measure to "flatten the curve" of the ongoing epidemics. Evaluation of the impact of government-imposed social distancing and of other measures to control further spread of COVID-19 is urgent, especially because of...

Hands-On Exploration of Cubes' Floating and Sinking Benefits Children's Subsequent Buoyancy Predictions.
van Schaik JE, Slim T, Franse RK, Raijmakers MEJ
Children accrue experiences with buoyancy on a daily basis, yet research paints a mixed picture of children's buoyancy knowledge. Whereas children's predictions and explanations of the floating and the sinking of common objects are often based on a single feature (e.g., mass or facts), children's predictions of novel cubes reveal solution strategies based on mass and volume integrations. Correspondingly, category learning theory suggests that categories (e.g., floaters vs. sinkers...

Background and purpose: There are concerns that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak negatively affects the quality of care for acute cardiovascular conditions. We assessed the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on trends in hospital admissions and workflow parameters of acute stroke care in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

QT interval variability and heart rate turbulence are associated with clinical characteristics in congenital heart disease patients with a systemic right ventricle.
Zandstra T, Kiès P, Man SC, Maan A, Bootsma M, Vliegen H, Egorova A, Holman E, Schalij M, Jongbloed M
Background: QT interval variability (QTV) and heart rate turbulence (HRT) are measures of cardiac autonomic function, which, when abnormal, are correlated with ventricular arrhythmias and worse clinical outcome. This study aims to evaluate QTV and HRT in patients with a systemic right ventricle (RV) and to assess correlations with clinical characteristics. Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, QTV and HRT were derived from 24-h Holter registrations of patients with a systemic RV and healthy...

Trained immunity as a molecular mechanism for BCG immunotherapy in bladder cancer.
van Puffelen JH, Keating ST, Oosterwijk E, van der Heijden AG, Netea MG, Joosten LAB, Vermeulen SH
Intravesical BCG instillation is the gold-standard adjuvant immunotherapy for patients with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. However, the precise mechanism of action by which BCG asserts its beneficial effects is still unclear. BCG has been shown to induce a non-specific enhancement of the biological function in cells of the innate immune system, creating a de facto heterologous immunological memory that has been termed trained immunity. Trained immunity or innate immune memory enab...

Reduced right ventricular function on cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging is associated with uteroplacental impairment in tetralogy of Fallot.
Siegmund AS, Willems TP, Pieper PG, Bilardo CM, Gorter TM, Bouma BJ, Jongbloed MRM, Sieswerda GT, Roos-Hesselink JW, van Dijk APJ, van Veldhuisen DJ, Dickinson MG
Background: Maternal right ventricular (RV) dysfunction (measured by echocardiography) is associated with impaired uteroplacental circulation, however echocardiography has important limitations in the assessment of RV function. We therefore aimed to investigate the association of pre-pregnancy RV and left ventricular (LV) function measured by cardiovascular magnetic resonance with uteroplacental Doppler flow parameters in pregnant women with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF). Methods: Women wit...

Impact of delays on effectiveness of contact tracing strategies for COVID-19: a modelling study.
Kretzschmar ME, Rozhnova G, Bootsma MCJ, van Boven M, van de Wijgert JHHM, Bonten MJM
Background: In countries with declining numbers of confirmed cases of COVID-19, lockdown measures are gradually being lifted. However, even if most physical distancing measures are continued, other public health measures will be needed to control the epidemic. Contact tracing via conventional methods or mobile app technology is central to control strategies during de-escalation of physical distancing. We aimed to identify key factors for a contact tracing strategy to be successful. Methods: We e...

Serum Matrix Metalloproteinases and Left Atrial Remodeling-The Hoorn Study.
Linssen PBC, Brunner-La Rocca HP, Schalkwijk CG, Beulens JWJ, Elders PJM, van der Heijden AA, Slieker RC, Stehouwer CDA, Henry RMA
Extracellular matrix protein turnover may play an important role in left atrial (LA) remodelling. The aim is to investigate the associations between matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP-1) and LA volume index (LAVI) and if these associations are independent of TIMP-1 levels. Participants from The Hoorn Study, a population-based cohort study (n = 674), underwent echocardiography. Serum MMPs (i.e., MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, and MMP-10) and TIMP-1 levels we...
