Study protocol of the multicentre, randomised, triple-blind, placebo-controlled MERCURI-2 trial: promoting effective renoprotection in cardiac surgery patients by inhibition of sodium glucose cotransporter (SGLT)-2.
Oosterom-Eijmael M, Monteiro de Oliveira NP, Niesten ED, Tolsma M, Snellen FT, Gerritse BM, Scohy TV, Rettig T, Godfried MB, Voogd MF, Wink J, van der Werff LM, Eberl S, Preckel B, Hermanides J, van Raalte DH, Hulst AH, MERCURI-2 study group
Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major complication after cardiac surgery and is associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality. Currently, no effective therapy exists to reduce the incidence of postoperative AKI. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are effective in reducing AKI in outpatient settings for patients with chronic kidney disease. We hypothesised that perioperative SGLT2 inhibition will also reduce AKI incidence after cardiac surgery according to Kidn...

Moral decision-making 'on the fly'.
Kusev P, Martin R, van Schaik P, Teal J
Over a century of research has focused on the consistency and inconsistency of human moral decision preferences. We proposed and found that moral decision preferences are flexible and shift towards newly learned moral rules when their application leads to utilitarian choices. Hence, decision-makers' psychological concept of morality is continually under construction (on the fly); based on learning, informed by changes in moral rules and specific moral contexts. Accordingly, in two experimen...

Validation of tRNA-derived fragments as diagnostic biomarkers in suspected acute stroke; limitations in analysis and quantification methods.
Woudenberg T, van der Bent ML, van den Homberg DAL, Nguyen TTM, Wermer MJH, van den Wijngaard IR, Quax PHA, Nossent AY, Kruyt ND
In acute stroke, timely diagnosis is essential to prevent extensive neuronal damage and improve patient outcomes. However, differentiating between ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and stroke mimics remains challenging. Transfer RNA-derived fragments (tRFs) have emerged as potential biomarkers for distinguishing between these stroke subtypes. Here we used reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) to investigate the expression of specific tRFs that we previously identified in smal...
