Association of complement receptor 1 gene polymorphisms with cognitive function.
Zijlstra LE, Jukema JW, Mooijaart SP, de Vries MA, Stott DJ, Castro Cabezas M, Trompet S
Previous evidence suggest involvement of the complement receptor 1 (CR1) in development of Alzheimer's disease. We investigated the association of CR1 gene polymorphisms with cognitive function in older subjects. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the CR1 region on chromosome 1 ( n = 73) were assessed in 5,244 participants in the PROspective Study of Pravastatin in the Elderly at Risk (51.9% female, mean age 75.3 yr). Linear regression, adjusted for age, sex, country, and use of...

Effect of Losartan on Right Ventricular Dysfunction: Results From the Double-Blind, Randomized REDEFINE Trial (Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Tetralogy of Fallot: Inhibition of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System) in Adults With Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot.
Bokma JP, Winter MM, van Dijk AP, Vliegen HW, van Melle JP, Meijboom FJ, Post MC, Berbee JK, Boekholdt SM, Groenink M, Zwinderman AH, Mulder BJM, Bouma BJ
Background: The effect of angiotensin II receptor blockers on right ventricular (RV) function is still unknown. Angiotensin II receptor blockers are beneficial in patients with acquired left ventricular dysfunction, and recent findings have suggested a favorable effect in symptomatic patients with systemic RV dysfunction. The current study aimed to determine the effect of losartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, on subpulmonary RV dysfunction in adults after repaired tetralogy of Fallot. Me...

BACKGROUND Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) are emerging worldwide. Contact precautions are recommended for known ESBL-E carriers to control the spread of ESBL-E within hospitals. OBJECTIVE This study quantified the acquisition of ESBL-E rectal carriage among patients in Dutch hospitals, given the application of contact precautions. METHODS Data were used from 2 cluster-randomized studies on isolation strategies for ESBL-E: (1) the SoM study, performed in 14 Du...

Z-disc protein CHAPb induces cardiomyopathy and contractile dysfunction in the postnatal heart.
van Eldik W, den Adel B, Monshouwer-Kloots J, Salvatori D, Maas S, van der Made I, Creemers EE, Frank D, Frey N, Boontje N, van der Velden J, Steendijk P, Mummery C, Passier R, Beqqali A
Aims: The Z-disc is a crucial structure of the sarcomere and is implicated in mechanosensation/transduction. Dysregulation of Z-disc proteins often result in cardiomyopathy. We have previously shown that the Z-disc protein Cytoskeletal Heart-enriched Actin-associated Protein (CHAP) is essential for cardiac and skeletal muscle development. Furthermore, the CHAP gene has been associated with atrial fibrillation in humans. Here, we studied the misregulated expression of CHAP isoforms in heart disea...

Monocyte gene expression in childhood obesity is associated with obesity and complexity of atherosclerosis in adults.
Keustermans GC, Kofink D, Eikendal A, de Jager W, Meerding J, Nuboer R, Waltenberger J, Kraaijeveld AO, Jukema JW, Sels JW, Garssen J, Prakken BJ, Asselbergs FW, Kalkhoven E, Hoefer IE, Pasterkamp G, Schipper HS
Childhood obesity coincides with increased numbers of circulating classical CD14++CD16- and intermediate CD14++CD16+ monocytes. Monocytes are key players in the development and exacerbation of atherosclerosis, which prompts the question as to whether the monocytosis in childhood obesity contributes to atherogenesis over the years. Here, we dissected the monocyte gene expression profile in childhood obesity using an Illumina microarray platform on sorted monocytes of 35 obese children and 16 lean...

External Validation of a Tool Predicting 7-Year Risk of Developing Cardiovascular Disease, Type 2 Diabetes or Chronic Kidney Disease.
Rauh SP, Rutters F, van der Heijden AAWA, Luimes T, Alssema M, Heymans MW, Magliano DJ, Shaw JE, Beulens JW, Dekker JM
Background: Chronic cardiometabolic diseases, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), share many modifiable risk factors and can be prevented using combined prevention programs. Valid risk prediction tools are needed to accurately identify individuals at risk. Objective: We aimed to validate a previously developed non-invasive risk prediction tool for predicting the combined 7-year-risk for chronic cardiometabolic diseases. Design: The prev...

Radiopharmaceutical tracers for cardiac imaging.
Manabe O, Kikuchi T, Scholte AJHA, El Mahdiui M, Nishii R, Zhang MR, Suzuki E, Yoshinaga K
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and disease burden worldwide. Nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging with either single-photon emission computed tomography or positron emission tomography has been used extensively to perform diagnosis, monitor therapies, and predict cardiovascular events. Several radiopharmaceutical tracers have recently been developed to evaluate CVD by targeting myocardial perfusion, metabolism, innervation, and inflammation. This article reviews old a...

Optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention or after acute coronary syndrome : Practical lessons from a review.
Ten Berg JM, Zwart B, van 't Hof AWJ, Liem A, Waltenberger J, de Winter RJ, Jukema JW
To prevent recurrent ischaemic events, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is the standard of care after percutaneous coronary intervention and in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome. Recent evidence supports an adjusted DAPT duration in selected patients.The current paper aims to encourage cardiologists to actively search for patients benefiting from either shorter or prolonged duration DAPT and proposes an algorithm to identify patients who are likely to benefit from such an alternative stra...

Looking for unity in diversity: human cooperative childcare in comparative perspective.
Burkart JM, van Schaik C, Griesser M
Humans engage in cooperative childcare, which includes some elements not found in other animals, such as the presence of post-reproductive helpers, extensive food sharing among adults and a pervasive sexual division of labour. In animals, cooperative offspring care has typically been studied in two different contexts. The first mainly involves helpers contributing care in cooperatively breeding family groups; the second context is allomaternal care in species usually not categorized as cooperati...

Intravesical radiofrequency induced hyperthermia enhances mitomycin C accumulation in tumour tissue.
van Valenberg FJP, van der Heijden AG, Lammers RJM, Falke J, Arends TJH, Oosterwijk E, Witjes JA
Introduction: Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is a highly recurrent disease with potential progression to muscle invasive disease despite the standard bladder instillations with mitomycin C (MMC) or Bacille Calmette-Guérin immunotherapy. Therefore, alternatives such as radiofrequency-induced chemohyperthermia (RF-CHT) with MMC are being investigated. The mechanism explaining the efficacy of RF-CHT is only partly understood. We examined whether RF-CHT results in higher MMC tissue conce...

Right ventricular dysfunction after surgical left ventricular restoration: prevalence, risk factors and clinical implications.
Couperus LE, Delgado V, van Vessem ME, Tops LF, Palmen M, Braun J, Verwey HF, Klautz RJM, Schalij MJ, Beeres SLMA
Objectives: Surgical left ventricular (LV) restoration (SVR) induces changes in LV systolic and diastolic function that may affect postoperative right ventricular (RV) function. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effect of SVR on RV function, with specific focus on determinants and prognostic implications of RV dysfunction. Methods: Eighty-six patients (age 60 ± 10 years, 73% male) with clinical and echocardiographic follow-up 2 years after SVR were included. RV dysfunction was defined a...

Whole-Genome Next-Generation Sequencing to Study Within-Host Evolution of Norovirus (NoV) Among Immunocompromised Patients With Chronic NoV Infection.
van Beek J, de Graaf M, Smits S, Schapendonk CME, Verjans GMGM, Vennema H, van der Eijk AA, Phan MVT, Cotten M, Koopmans M
Background: The genus Norovirus comprises large genetic diversity, and new GII.4 variants emerge every 2-3 years. It is unknown in which host these new variants originate. Here we study whether prolonged shedders within the immunocompromised population could be a reservoir for newly emerging strains. Methods: Sixty-five fecal samples from 16 immunocompromised patients were retrospectively selected. Isolated viral RNA was enriched by hybridization with a custom norovirus whole-genome RNA bait set...
