The Use of Antidepressants, Anxiolytics, and Hypnotics in People with Type 2 Diabetes and Patterns Associated with Use: The Hoorn Diabetes Care System Cohort.
Mast R, Rauh SP, Groeneveld L, Koopman AD, Beulens JW, Jansen AP, Bremmer M, van der Heijden AA, Elders PJ, Dekker JM, Nijpels G, Hugtenburg JG, Rutters F
Objective. With depression being present in approximately 20% of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), we expect equally frequent prescription of antidepressants, anxiolytics, and hypnotics. Nevertheless, prescription data in people with T2DM is missing and the effect of depression on glycaemic control is contradictory. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of antidepressants, anxiolytics, and/or hypnotics use in a large, managed, primary care system cohort of people with T2D...

An increasing number of genome-wide association (GWA) studies are now using the higher resolution 1000 Genomes Project reference panel (1000G) for imputation, with the expectation that 1000G imputation will lead to the discovery of additional associated loci when compared to HapMap imputation. In order to assess the improvement of 1000G over HapMap imputation in identifying associated loci, we compared the results of GWA studies of circulating fibrinogen based on the two reference panels. Using...

Overweight Kidney Transplant Recipients Are at Risk of Being Overdosed Following Standard Bodyweight-Based Tacrolimus Starting Dose.
Andrews LM, de Winter BC, Tang JT, Shuker N, Bouamar R, van Schaik RH, Koch BC, van Gelder T, Hesselink DA
Background: Bodyweight-based dosing of tacrolimus (Tac) is considered standard care, even though the available evidence is thin. An increasing proportion of transplant recipients is overweight, prompting the question if the starting dose should always be based on bodyweight. Methods: For this analysis, data were used from a randomized-controlled trial in which patients received either a standard Tac starting dose or a dose that was based on CYP3A5 genotype. The hypothesis was that overweight pat...

The hippocampal formation is a brain structure integrally involved in episodic memory, spatial navigation, cognition and stress responsiveness. Structural abnormalities in hippocampal volume and shape are found in several common neuropsychiatric disorders. To identify the genetic underpinnings of hippocampal structure here we perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 33,536 individuals and discover six independent loci significantly associated with hippocampal volume, four of them novel....

Albedo factors of some elements in the atomic number range 26≤Z≤79 for 59.54keV.
Yılmaz D, Uzunoğlu Z, Demir C
In this study, we aimed to determine the albedo factors for Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zr, Mo, Ag, Dy, Yb, and Au. Albedo factors were investigated experimentally for 59.54keV photon energy by using an HPGe detector with a resolution of 182eV at 5.9keV. Albedo number (AN), albedo energy (AE), and albedo dose (AD) were plotted as a function of atomic number of the target. It was observed that albedo factors decreased with increasing atomic number. In addition, there was a good third-order polynomial relatio...

Treatments for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP): an overview of systematic reviews.
Oaklander AL, Lunn MP, Hughes RA, van Schaik IN, Frost C, Chalk CH
Background: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is a chronic progressive or relapsing and remitting disease that usually causes weakness and sensory loss. The symptoms are due to autoimmune inflammation of peripheral nerves. CIPD affects about 2 to 3 per 100,000 of the population. More than half of affected people cannot walk unaided when symptoms are at their worst. CIDP usually responds to treatments that reduce inflammation, but there is disagreement about which t...

Cardiorespiratory Fitness after Transient Ischemic Attack and Minor Ischemic Stroke: Baseline Data of the MoveIT Study.
Boss HM, Deijle IA, Van Schaik SM, de Melker EC, van den Berg BTJ, Weinstein HC, Geerlings MI, Kappelle LJ, Van den Berg-Vos RM
Background: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is reduced in patients with stroke. It is unclear whether it is also reduced in patients with a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke. We investigated the CRF in patients with a recent TIA or minor stroke and explored which determinants are associated with a lower fitness. Methods: In 113 patients with a recent TIA or minor ischemic stroke (64 (SD = 10) years of age; 49 (IQR 27-86) days post TIA or stroke), the peak oxygen consumption (VO2pea...

Orientation toward humans predicts cognitive performance in orang-utans.
Damerius LA, Forss SI, Kosonen ZK, Willems EP, Burkart JM, Call J, Galdikas BM, Liebal K, Haun DB, van Schaik CP
Non-human animals sometimes show marked intraspecific variation in their cognitive abilities that may reflect variation in external inputs and experience during the developmental period. We examined variation in exploration and cognitive performance on a problem-solving task in a large sample of captive orang-utans (Pongo abelii &P. pygmaeus, N = 103) that had experienced different rearing and housing conditions during ontogeny, including human exposure. In addition to measuring exploration...

The Ecology of Social Learning in Animals and its Link with Intelligence.
van Schaik C, Graber S, Schuppli C, Burkart J
Classical ethology and behavioral ecology did not pay much attention to learning. However, studies of social learning in nature reviewed here reveal the near-ubiquity of reliance on social information for skill acquisition by developing birds and mammals. This conclusion strengthens the plausibility of the cultural intelligence hypothesis for the evolution of intelligence, which assumes that selection on social learning abilities automatically improves individual learning ability. Thus, intellig...

Right vEntricular Dysfunction in tEtralogy of Fallot: INhibition of the rEnin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (REDEFINE) trial: Rationale and design of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
Bokma JP, Winter MM, Kornaat EM, Vliegen HW, van Dijk AP, van Melle JP, Meijboom FJ, Post MC, Berbee JK, Zwinderman AH, Mulder BJM, Bouma BJ
Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibition with angiotensin II receptor blockers or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors is beneficial in patients with acquired left ventricular dysfunction. Adult patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are at high risk for heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. However, the efficacy of RAAS inhibition has not been established in these patients. Methods: The REDEFINE is an investigator-initia...

Capturing norovirus transmission.
de Graaf M, Villabruna N, Koopmans MP
Human norovirus is a leading cause of gastroenteritis and is efficiently transmitted between humans and around the globe. The burden of norovirus infections in the global community and in health-care settings warrant the availability of outbreak prevention strategies and control measures that are tailored to the pathogen, outbreak setting and population at risk. A better understanding of viral and host determinants of transmission would aid in developing and fine-tuning such efforts. Here, we de...

Future directions for studying the evolution of general intelligence.
Burkart JM, Schubiger MN, van Schaik CP
The goal of our target article was to lay out current evidence relevant to the question of whether general intelligence can be found in nonhuman animals in order to better understand its evolution in humans. The topic is a controversial one, as evident from the broad range of partly incompatible comments it has elicited. The main goal of our response is to translate these issues into testable empirical predictions, which together can provide the basis for a broad research agenda.
