Preexisting heart failure is an underestimated risk factor in cardiac surgery.
Kortekaas KA, Lindeman JH, Versteegh MI, Stijnen T, Dion RA, Klautz RJ
Background: Heart failure is characterised as a strong risk factor for systemic failure after cardiac surgery. However, the impact has never been substantiated. Methods: Patients with heart failure (n = 48) - scheduled for elective ventricular reconstruction or external constraint device-were compared with a one-to-one matched control group of patients without heart failure undergoing cardiac surgery between 2006 and 2009. Results: As expected, patients with heart failure more frequently experie...

Does left ventricular size impact on intrinsic right ventricular function in hypoplastic left heart syndrome?
Schlangen J, Fischer G, Steendijk P, Petko C, Scheewe J, Hart C, Hansen JH, Ahrend F, Rickers C, Kramer HH, Uebing A
Background: The size of the remnant left ventricle (LV) may influence right ventricular function and thus long-term outcome in palliated hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). We therefore sought to assess the impact of the size of the hypoplastic LV on intrinsic RV function in HLHS patients after Fontan surgery. Methods: Fifty-seven HLHS patients were studied 2.5 (range: 0.8-12.6) years after Fontan-type palliation with the pressure-volume conductance system. The patient cohort was divided int...

Multi-center analytical performance evaluation of the Access Hybritech® p2PSA immunoassay.
Sokoll LJ, Chan DW, Klee GG, Roberts WL, van Schaik RH, Arockiasamy DA, Broyles DL, Carlson CM, Mizrahi IA, Pierson TB, Tam JE
Background: Total PSA assays measure both complexed and non-complexed forms of PSA while free PSA assays only measure non-complexed forms. Free PSA is a mixture of isoforms including immature PSA (proPSA) with retained portions of the leader sequence (e.g. [-7], [-4], and [-2]proPSA) and nicked forms (BPSA). ProPSA isoforms in male sera have been associated with prostate cancer. This study characterized the analytical performance of a chemiluminescent immunoassay for [-2]proPSA. Methods: The Acc...

The mode of death in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator and cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator patients: results from routine clinical practice.
Thijssen J, van Rees JB, Venlet J, Borleffs CJ, Höke U, Putter H, van der Velde ET, van Erven L, Schalij MJ
Background: Although data on the mode of death of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator (CRT-D) patients have been examined in randomized clinical trials, in routine clinical practice data are scarce. To provide reasonable expectations and prognosis for patients and physicians, this study assessed the mode of death in routine clinical practice. Objective: To assess the mode of death in ICD/CRT-D recipients in routine clinical practi...

Nosocomial transmission of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Danish Hospitals.
Hetem DJ, Westh H, Boye K, Jarløv JO, Bonten MJ, Bootsma MC
Objectives: The emergence of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) has changed the epidemiology of MRSA infections worldwide. In contrast to hospital-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA), CA-MRSA more frequently affects healthy individuals, both with and without recent healthcare exposure. Despite obvious epidemiological differences, it is unknown whether differences in nosocomial transmissibility exist. We have, therefore, quantified the transmissibility, expressed by...

Surgical left ventricular radius enlargement by patch insertion on the beating heart: a new experimental aneurysm model.
Gründeman PF, van der Spoel TI, Steendijk P, van Slochteren F, Cramer MJ, Doevendans PA, Pasterkamp G
We presented a novel experimental aneurysm model for studies in left ventricular (LV) reconstruction techniques and assessed LV function. In eight pigs, the LV radius and geometry were enlarged surgically on the beating heart by inserting an aortic allograft construct. Haemodynamics and LV dimensions were assessed by echocardiography at baseline and under dobutamine stress. Surgery was successfully performed without lethal blood loss or arrhythmias. LV end-diastolic and end-systolic short-axis a...

Prognostic implications of left ventricular dilation in patients with nonischemic heart failure: interactions with restrictive filling pattern and mitral regurgitation.
Ghio S, Temporelli PL, Marsan NA, Poppe K, Giannuzzi P, Dini FL, Rossi A, Doughty RN, Whalley G, MeRGE HF collaborators
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether small left ventricular (LV) volumes increase the negative prognostic impact of a restrictive filling pattern (RFP) and that of mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with nonischemic heart failure (HF). The Meta-analysis Research Group in Echocardiography (MeRGE) is a meta-analysis that collated individual patient data from several prospective echocardiography outcome studies. This analysis was restricted to 10 studies and 601 patients with nonischemi...

Explaining brain size variation: from social to cultural brain.
van Schaik CP, Isler K, Burkart JM
Although the social brain hypothesis has found near-universal acceptance as the best explanation for the evolution of extensive variation in brain size among mammals, it faces two problems. First, it cannot account for grade shifts, where species or complete lineages have a very different brain size than expected based on their social organization. Second, it cannot account for the observation that species with high socio-cognitive abilities also excel in general cognition. These problems may be...

In vivo analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae plasma membrane ATPase Pma1p isoforms with increased in vitro H+/ATP stoichiometry.
de Kok S, Yilmaz D, Daran JM, Pronk JT, van Maris AJ
Plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase isoforms with increased H(+)/ATP ratios represent a desirable asset in yeast metabolic engineering. In vivo proton coupling of two previously reported Pma1p isoforms (Ser800Ala, Glu803Gln) with increased in vitro H(+)/ATP stoichiometries was analysed by measuring biomass yields of anaerobic maltose-limited chemostat cultures expressing only the different PMA1 alleles. In vivo H(+)/ATP stoichiometries of wildtype Pma1p and the two isoforms did not differ significantly.

Below-elbow cast for metaphyseal both-bone fractures of the distal forearm in children: a randomised multicentre study.
Colaris JW, Biter LU, Allema JH, Bloem RM, van de Ven CP, de Vries MR, Kerver AJ, Reijman M, Verhaar JA
Introduction: Minimally displaced metaphyseal both-bone fractures of the distal forearm in children are often treated with an above-elbow cast (AEC). Treatment with a below-elbow cast (BEC) could give more comfort, but might lead to fracture displacement reducing pronation and supination. Because this has not been systematically investigated, we set up a randomised multicentre study. The purpose of this study was to find out whether BEC causes equal limitation of pronation and supination but wit...

Successful Veterans Affairs initiative to prevent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections revisited.
Gurieva T, Bootsma MC, Bonten MJ
In 2011 Jain et al reported a 62% reduction of healthcare-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections that resulted from an intervention bundle. Here we present a mathematical model and prove, using parameters from the study by Jain et al, that the universal screen and isolate strategy can have contributed only marginally to the reduction in infections.

Associations between ABCB1, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2D6, and CYP3A5 alleles in relation to efavirenz and nevirapine pharmacokinetics in HIV-infected individuals.
Heil SG, van der Ende ME, Schenk PW, van der Heiden I, Lindemans J, Burger D, van Schaik RH
Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals show large interindividual variation in response to antiretroviral therapy. Efavirenz (EFV) and nevirapine (NVP) are nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, which are prescribed in combination with other antiretroviral therapy in so-called highly active antiretroviral therapy. Recent studies provide evidence for the role of cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes, in particular CYP2B6, in relation to EFV and NVP pharmacokinetics. In...
